Treasure Embryo
"In addition to the original Artifact Piece, there is also the embryo of Lifebound Artifact, which the principal personally helped to refine!"
This news will be announced at the end of the year, so Che Yucheng said it in advance.
After a cultivator Core Formation, they can then refine their Lifebound Artifact.
This magical artifact is connected to the cultivator's mind and will continuously upgrade as the cultivator grows. It can be said to be one of the fundamentals of a cultivator, and a part of the Dao Fruit.
This is precisely why it is so important. If one does not personally forge one's Lifebound Artifact, there will be a sense of stagnation when operating and controlling it in the early stages.
However, the Immortal Sect are technologically advanced and have long since devised many ways to circumvent this difficulty.
For example, one could ask a high-level Artifact Refiner to help create a magic Treasure Embryo that suits the cultivator's own cultivation method and Spirit Root Attribute, so that the cultivator can incorporate it into their body in advance and begin to nurture it with spiritual power.
Once the Core Formation, because the magic weapon and the cultivator have undergone the transformation process together, this sense of hindrance will be eliminated, as if it were truly forged by oneself.
For example, the Star Gathering Stone that Lan Haitan obtained from the Wuqi Dao Academy was a Third Grade Lifebound Artifact embryo.
Venerable Cheng Xuan is the only Fifth Tier Artifact Refiner in the Immortal Sect. Any Treasure Embryo that he helps refine is of the highest quality.
"Teacher, if I successfully craft Third Grade Puppetry and Third Tier Talisman, could the principal help me craft the embryos of two Lifebound Artifact?"
After hearing this, Chen Mobai, still somewhat greedy, asked another question.
"You little rascal, don't push your luck."
Che Yucheng rebuked him.
Who is Venerable Cheng Xuan? Even if Golden Core cultivator were to beg him, he might not be willing to help with the refining.
It's just that the graduates of the Wuqi Dao Academy in recent years were lucky enough to encounter him when he emerged from seclusion and received this amazing benefit.
"All the Third Grade items will eventually be sent to the principal for his personal appraisal. He will then select some of the works that satisfy him and reward them with custom-made Treasure Embryo. So just being Third Grade is not enough. You need to be outstanding and unique in order to be able to seize this opportunity."
As one of the Four Great Dao Academies, Wuqi Dao Academy was at the bottom of the rankings until last year, but the quality of its students far exceeded that of the Ten Great Academies. The number of students who achieved Third Grade professions upon graduation was also quite remarkable.
For example, Ming Yihua was highly praised by Deng Daoyun, the Artifact Refining Department, who said that he would definitely be able to pass the Third Tier Artifact Refiner before graduation.
It's not impossible for Yun Yangbing to become Third Grade Formation Master, or even for Wang Xingyu, who, although not as good as Qing Nü, is still a genius Alchemy.
"Teacher, the sword aura I've mastered is also at the Third Grade..."
Chen Mobai felt it was a bit unfair. As the most outstanding graduate of the Sword Control Department in the past hundred years, and recognized by the Immortal Sect as the second most outstanding sword genius in the past thousand years after the Old Ancestor Bai Guang, he should not be excluded from his best skill just because there is no Sword Cultivator among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
"You mean to say that your sword has done a great service to the Dao Academy? The headmaster has been busy finding several Nascent Soul cultivators for your Purple Lightning Sword. Now that you have Fourth Tier Sword Artifact, you still feel wronged!"
Che Yucheng once again rebuked Chen Mobai for his insatiable greed, and upon hearing this, the latter realized that it was indeed true, and immediately lowered his head to accept the lesson.
Without the backing of the Wuqi Dao Academy and Venerable Cheng Xuan, no matter how many Spirit Stone he possessed, how could a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator be qualified to compete with several Golden Core True Person?
"However, as long as you can create Third Grade Puppetry, considering the glory you've brought to the Dao Academy these past few years, the principal will definitely help you refine a Treasure Embryo."
After saying a few words, Che Yucheng felt that it was about time, and his tone softened, reassuring Chen Mobai.
Sure enough, the higher-ups still remembered the merits and honors he had brought to the Dao Academy.
In that instant, Chen Mobai felt that getting into the Wuqi Dao Academy and becoming its Chief was the wisest thing he had ever done in his life.
However, as the Chief of the Dao Academy, he must demonstrate his superior skills in a fair and square manner, and he absolutely cannot let people think that he is a fraud.
It's decided, let's make a Formless Puppet to set the tone! Let Che Yucheng be proud of himself.
Of course, the main reason is that the only type of Third Grade Puppetry he comprehended using the Enlightenment Tea is the Formless Puppet.
After leaving Building One, Chen Mobai went to the Student Union.
"I didn't come here to see you."
Upon hearing that he was coming, Zhongli Tianyu ran down from his President's Office, only to see Chen Mobai waving at him.
"If you weren't looking for me, what are you doing here?"
Zhongli Tianyu found it strange; he couldn't imagine what else Chen Mobai was doing in the Student Union besides making surprise attendance checks.
"Where is Jialan? I'm looking for her."
Chen Mobai called out to his former secretary, Zhuang Jialan, who had just come down from the second floor. She pointed at herself with some surprise, clearly not expecting that he was looking for her.
"That's right, I signed up for the Third-tier Talisman Master, and since Jialan also took it, I came here to learn from her."
Although Chen Mobai was known as the number one Talisman First in his class, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu were actually the real Talisman geniuses in their class. They not only passed the Second-tier Talisman Master exam while Qi Refining, but also participated in the Third Grade exam.
Unfortunately, the Third Grade was too difficult; even though both of them had already Foundation Establishment, they still failed.
But at least he's more experienced than Chen Mobai.
"Cut."
Zhongli Tianyu flicked his sleeves and went straight upstairs to return to his office.
"By the way, the principal has completed his seclusion this year and will be giving some extra rewards to outstanding students..."
Chen Mobai had been in the Student Union for many years, and many people in the Spirit Transmutation Class responded to his call and joined. After learning about this news, he certainly wouldn't keep it to himself. Seeing that there were quite a few people involved, he simply announced it directly.
"Real!"
As expected, everyone gasped when they heard that Venerable Cheng Xuan was personally forging the embryo of his Lifebound Artifact.
This is a private custom-made item for Fifth Tier Artifact Refiner; even Golden Core True Person cultivator from the Immortal Sect doesn't receive this treatment.
They were all thrilled to have such a good thing happen to them in the past few years. After confirming with Chen Mobai, everyone was excited and started thinking about how to make a Third Grade item in the shortest amount of time.
"I've told you the news, but since the Dao Academy hasn't issued an official notice yet, it's best to keep it within the Student Union and don't spread it outside."
Chen Mobai gave a final instruction, and everyone present nodded in unison, expressing their sincere gratitude while also whispering among themselves about this important matter.
Only Zhongli Tianyu remained unmoved and went upstairs without showing any interest.
His Eight Trigrams Mirror was already a top-tier magic weapon in the Immortal Sect. In its full state, it was even at the Fifth Order, enough for him to use until he reached the Nascent Formation or even higher. Therefore, he had little interest in other Magic Artifact and no energy to refine or cultivate them.
"Jialan, let's find a quiet office and talk about the Third Grade Talisman Making."
After speaking, Chen Mobai immediately led Zhuang Jialan to the conference room on the second floor with a friendly expression.
"Chief, which type of Third Tier Talisman do you plan to refine?"
Zhuang Jialan was very clear about Chen Mobai's talent; he was the kind of true genius who could do anything, if he wanted to.
"These are the ten Talisman for my Third-tier Talisman Master exam. Which one do you think is easier?"
Chen Mobai's words still revealed a bit of his apprehension, but Zhuang Jialan assumed that he was a student who valued the basics and wanted to make solid progress step by step from easy to difficult when learning Talisman. Upon hearing this, she arranged the ten Talisman.
"Learning this Clone Talisman is the easiest, but creating a clone that is indistinguishable from the real thing is the most difficult. If you only want to complete the Third Tier Talisman, you can learn this one first."
"After this Youth Talisman is cast, it can keep a person young Ageless for a period of time. The time it takes to take effect depends on the Talisman's grade, but it is extremely difficult to learn, so it can be left for later."
"This Paper Man Paper Horse Talisman is a simplified version of the Six Ding Six Jia Immortal Talisman. Above that is the 'Sprinkle Beans to Form Soldiers Talisman, which is also a major system of our Dao Academy's Talisman cultivation, and is considered the most difficult."
After listening to Zhuang Jialan's analysis, Chen Mobai immediately understood and realized that he probably wouldn't pass the exam.
However, he was mentally prepared for this. After all, he had greatly neglected his studies in the first half of the year because of Meng Huang'er's matter. If it weren't for his breakthrough in Spiritual Sense, he would have really felt that he had made a bad deal.
"Jialan, thanks to your analysis, these Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink are produced by my Talisman Factory. You can take them and use them."
After Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan to help analyze the ten Talisman in his Third-tier Talisman Master exam, he naturally wanted to give her a token of appreciation. She accepted it with a smile without hesitation.
Then Zhuang Jialan talked about her experiences and insights during her Third Grade exam.
After leaving the Student Union, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden cabin.
Just as he was about to carefully consider how to complete the Third Tier Talisman, Meng Huang'er called.
Meng Huang'er: [I saw the light on in your room.]
Chen Mobai: [Yes, is there something you need?]
Meng Huang'er: [...]
Meng Huang'er: [The Qi Condensing Fluid and Spirit Ascension Powder arrived. Would you like to come up and help me check their quality?]
Although the backend of Immortal Sect Network is official, some items are processed and refined by the Ten Great Academies or the Hundred and Twenty Mansions, so there is a possibility that the quality is not good and the items may be returned.
Chen Mobai had originally planned to study Talisman properly tonight, but since Meng Huang'er had said so, and these two items were only available for purchase within the time he provided, it really was necessary to go up and take a look.
I just hope there won't be any unexpected setbacks.
However, after flying up, it wasn't until noon the next day that Chen Mobai was able to free his hands to make the appraisal.
"The items are fine."
Lunch was once again prepared by Meng Huang'er herself. While eating, Chen Mobai examined the Qi Condensing Fluid and Spirit Ascension Powder, confirming that they were of excellent quality.
"Well, I'm planning to go for Foundation Establishment the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
Wearing an apron, Meng Huang'er placed the last portion of vegetables on the table and sat down happily, asking...
"Okay, just like at the end of last year, you go book a room first and leave the door open for me."
Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that Meng Huang'er's Foundation Establishment should be done as soon as possible, so he nodded and told her to finish quickly.
Even if you don't succeed this time, with the Critical Point Method in your body, you can try again after a month. Before graduating at the end of the year, as long as you are lucky, you will be able to successfully Foundation Establishment after four or five attempts.
"Should we use the Heaven's Equal Technique again this time?"
Meng Huang'er hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked another question.
"This is just a minor path. If you still place your hopes on these things, even if you have the Critical Point Method, I guarantee you will still Foundation Establishment Failure. Believe in yourself; you are different from last year."
Chen Mobai said in a serious tone that Meng Huang'er was just asking, since she had no fear of Foundation Establishment after mastering the Critical Point Method.
What she's thinking now is that she should be able to complete her Foundation Establishment before graduation. Otherwise, if graduation is delayed by a year or two, many media outlets will definitely seize on this because of her status Big Star and accuse her of abusing her privileges.
"By the way, the principal is coming out of seclusion this year... If you can sing Third Grade piece, you can also try your luck."
Chen Mobai then used this inside information as a favor to tell Meng Huang'er that among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, there is a Immortal Sound Master who plays with spiritual melodies and even musical instruments. The Startling Spirit Melody is Fifth Order Celestial Music.
Upon hearing this, Meng Huang'er's eyes lit up, but she immediately shook her head sadly.
"I have neglected a lot of my Foundation Establishment in recent years, and I am only maintaining the Second Grade level now. Even if I succeed in Foundation Establishment soon, it is impossible for me to learn the Third Grade music in just half a year."
"Do your best, but with your status as the Profound Sound Wonderful Dharma Dao Seed, you will definitely not lack resources in the future. Even if you can't get this Treasure Embryo from the principal, the Immortal Sect will arrange it for you in the future."
Chen Mobai's words made Meng Huang'er's face light up again. As long as she could successfully Foundation Establishment, cultivators of the Profound Sound Wonderful Method could go to the Literary Department Cultural Troupe of the Immortal Sect. Once they had accumulated enough seniority, they would also be given priority in receiving the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.
However, the Treasure Embryo arranged by the Immortal Sect are definitely not as good as those personally customized by Venerable Cheng Xuan.
But for Meng Huang'er, who had no hope of even reaching the Foundation Establishment a few days ago, having this was already quite good.
What kind of Third Grade item are you planning to craft?
After finishing her meal, Meng Huang'er, who was Cleaning Spell, casually asked a question.
"Are you so sure I can complete a Third Grade piece?"
Chen Mobai found it a bit strange. His persona was that of an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship. Although he was also a genius in other aspects, they were all within the normal range.
"You have the Potential for Spirit Transmutation; there's nothing you can't do, only things you don't want to do."
When Meng Huang'er said this, she was more confident than Chen Mobai himself.
These past few days, after returning from White Stone Cave Heaven, she had learned about the Purple Lightning Sword's Recognize Master. She was also very fortunate that she was able to complete the transaction with the number one genius of the Immortal Sect in a thousand years before this matter came to pass. If it were now, she was afraid that Chen Mobai would no longer be interested in her conditions.
Chen Mobai could only manage a slight smile after hearing Meng Huang'er's words.
Unfortunately, his reputation in the Immortal Sect is now soaring, but this doesn't align with his original intention of making a fortune in a low-key manner.
After helping Meng Huang'er Foundation Establishment, he planned to retreat to the Divine Wood Sect to recuperate and let his reputation in the Immortal Sect cool down.
However, we still need to fight for the graduation project.
Thinking of his classmates Ming Yihua, Yun Yangbing, and Wang Xingyu, who should be able to complete their respective Third Grade professional assessments before graduation, he felt it was necessary to show his true skills in order to outshine the rest.
"I originally planned to simply draw a Third Tier Talisman, just enough to graduate."
Chen Mobai sighed as Meng Huang'er pretended to be burdened by empty fame.
"But now all the media in the Immortal Sect are focused on me, and they will definitely make a big deal out of it when I graduate. In order not to trouble my teacher, I can only use my best skills."
"Oh, what is it?"
Meng Huang'er knew that Chen Mobai was not only the best in swordsmanship, but also the best in Talisman First, Puppetry First, and Agriculture First among his peers. She wondered which one he should choose to stand out from the crowd.
"Let's forge a Formless Puppet!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Huang'er froze on the spot.
Thank you to "Bored Leaf Reading Books" for the Alliance Leader donation. You have been supporting me all along, and I am very grateful. The Alliance Leader chapter will be added tomorrow.
If there's enough time, I'll finish what I owed everyone the day before yesterday tomorrow.
