Yan Bingxuan Reaches Foundation Establishment (8k)

After spending a day in the Bright Mirror House, Chen Mobai bid farewell to Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan.

"Why don't you stay here and meditate for a few more days? The Snow Elf Water will be sent the day after tomorrow. You can wait until Xuan'er has completed her Foundation Establishment before you leave."

Yan Qiongzhi was slightly surprised and tried to persuade her to stay.

"I've heard that the success rate of Foundation Establishment with Ice Spirit Root is highest when one is in a state of ice, so I won't stay here and disturb Bingxuan."

Chen Mobai shook his head and returned the handwritten copy of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Script to Yan Qiongzhi, who could only nod in agreement.

"Xuan'er, why don't you see him off?"

Yan Bingxuan nodded gently, bid farewell, and left the Natural Academy side by side.

The two suddenly fell silent on the way, probably because they had exhausted all their topics while walking down the street that night. They arrived at the Airport in silence.

"I hope that when we meet again, you will have successfully completed your Foundation Establishment."

Before parting, Chen Mobai smiled and said something to the beautiful Yan beside him. Upon hearing this, the latter raised her head, and a determined look appeared on her cool and aloof face.

"Yes, I will succeed."

After saying that, the two waved goodbye.

When they reached the end, Chen Mobai suddenly looked back again, and Yan Bingxuan was still standing in the same place.

Their eyes met, and they both saw reluctance in each other's eyes, but they were both very restrained and simply smiled at each other.

The reason for leaving was that Chen Mobai still had a lot of things to do at the end of the year.

First, there's the Dao Academy. Meng Huang'er is graduating, and he doesn't know when they'll see each other again, so he has to see her off.

Another task is to appraise the Artifact Nurturing Sphere for the students of the Dao Academy. Academic credits are a valuable resource, as they can be exchanged for many things he desires.

However, since Chen Mobai and Purple Mansion have already been opened up to the peak of the Foundation Establishment, he no longer needs the most precious Barrier Breaking Pill. Therefore, he is thinking of getting another Artifact Piece, or saving it to exchange for the Five Elements Golden Core Pill in the future.

Because he handed over the position of Student Union President to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai had a very easy year.

He didn't bother the other members of the Student Union; he simply set up a table and chair in the square, and then people naturally came to him.

This year, with ample time, Chen Mobai spent several days in front of the Student Union square, earning more credits than in previous years, totaling 127 credits. Combined with the credits left over from last year and those earned from exams, his Student ID account now boasts a total of 180 credits.

As usual, Chen Mobai went to Teacher Luo to exchange for a year's Qi Replenishing Spirit Water and Vermilion Fruit.

"Brother, where are you?"

After preparing the main and Auxiliary Medicine for the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu, wanting his good friend to help him refine it.

"I'm busy going on my honeymoon, so I've already left early..."

After Wang Xingyu said that, Chen Mobai felt embarrassed to speak up and offered a few words of blessing.

Is my good brother not at the Dao Academy? Is he looking for Qing Nü? Chen Mobai has prepared everything, so he can't let it go to waste. However, ever since Kong Feichen took Yang Jing away from the Immortal Sect, Vermilion Cloud City has become a place of sorrow for Qing Nü. To avoid being reminded of her past, she hasn't been back to her hometown for a long time.

Chen Mobai couldn't possibly make a special trip to the Goumang Dao Academy just because of this matter.

Fortunately, as the Chief of the Dao Academy, he had a wide network of connections and quickly thought of another person he knew.

Ying Sizhen, one of the Vice President of the Student Union, was promoted during his tenure. She is graduating this year and stepped down a few days ago, but she is still at the Dao Academy.

When Chen Mobai called, Ying Sizhen agreed without any hesitation.

He was also Second Grade Alchemist. Although this was the first time he had refined the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew, he still managed to complete the task smoothly, as Spirit Essence and Chen Mobai did not care about the trace amounts of Pill Toxin.

To express his gratitude, Chen Mobai gave him two pieces of Spirit Essence, but the latter only accepted one.

He's someone worth getting to know.

After taking the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew from Ying Sizhen, Chen Mobai thought to himself.

Nighttime, Meng Huang'er's Hilltop Villa.

"After this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."

Chen Mobai leaned against the balcony, sighing as he looked at Meng Huang'er was lounging lazily on the sofa, her face flushed from drinking.

"If you want to see me, I can come to you anytime. After all, the Literary Department is usually quite idle, and they only need to perform on stage during holidays."

Meng Huang'er swirled the wine in her glass and said, "Since Chen Mobai is returning to Vermilion Cloud City tomorrow, tonight is their farewell, so I'd like to suggest we have some wine to say goodbye."

This wine was naturally brought by Chen Mobai. It was brewed with Green Jade Spirit Rice, and it was very strong on the palate with a powerful aftertaste.

After drinking two cups, Meng Huang'er were already flushed, and she looked as beautiful as a flower.

However, in front of Chen Mobai, she didn't need to care about her demeanor as Big Star. Her snow-white fingers holding the transparent wine glass gleamed under the warm yellow light in the room. She took another sip as she spoke, and her already flushed cheeks became even more charming. Her almond eyes sparkled, and her beauty was stunning.

"I haven't heard you sing in a long time. Before we part, please sing me a song."

Looking at the charming young woman with her rosy cheeks, Chen Mobai couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting and couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

Meng Huang'er put down her wine glass, stood up from the beanbag chair on the balcony, her slightly drunk eyes were gentle and charming, shy and smiling, her tall and graceful figure radiant.

"Stepping on the Moon."

This was Chen Mobai's first meeting with Meng Huang'er. Nearly ten years had passed, and apart from her more mature temperament, her figure and appearance seemed unchanged. She was like a celestial maiden, a flower in full bloom, and her beauty was beyond compare.

"Okay, but this is a duet, do you want to sing it with me?"

Meng Huang'er came up to him, winked at him, and asked in a slightly mischievous way.

"I'll play along and be your backup singer."

With his cultivation level reaching Chen Mobai's level, he would never forget a song after hearing it. Although he had not cultivated the Profound Sound Wonderful Method and could not play the same effect as Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuyuan, with some coordination, he could still sing the whole song without any problem.

"Bright moon, bright moon, a cry of utter sorrow..."

The beautiful voice, which he had never heard before, rang in Chen Mobai's ears again. However, nine years ago, he was watching the girl, who was elegant and dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a fairy in the moon, from below the stage.

And now, she is whispering in his ear.

The ethereal and clear voice seemed to be a gift from heaven, like a gentle breeze in the mountains, carrying a soft and beautiful quality, or like the tinkling of precious pearls falling, playing the most beautiful Stepping on the Moon Melody that Chen Mobai had ever heard in his life.

The only regrettable thing is that his backing vocals were mediocre; he lacked any skill and relied entirely on emotion.

Before they knew it, both of them were a little drunk.

Chen Mobai seemed to have returned to Vermilion Cloud City nine years ago, and Meng Huang'er once again donned that light white dress, her drunken face transformed into exquisite and beautiful stage makeup...

Delicate clouds weave patterns, and a beautiful woman is as lovely as jade.

The next day, on his way back to Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai couldn't help but recall the beautiful dream he had after getting drunk the night before.

That clear, ethereal voice and those tender, beautiful eyes are truly captivating and irresistible.

Fortunately, Chen Mobai's resolve was firm, and he resolutely got up in the morning to catch the plane home.

For Chen Mobai, Vermilion Cloud City this year was even more desolate.

Even her younger sister, Wang Xinying, did not return; she remained at the Supreme Origin Academy.

The other classmates, having Foundation Establishment Failure, fell into self-isolation, while some with weaker minds began to give up on themselves, enjoying their last year before graduation.

People like Lu Hongsheng, who are still stuck at the Qi Cultivation Level 6, have resigned themselves to their fate early on and enjoyed their time for several years.

However, after having a meal with him, Chen Mobai also felt that the kid was lucky.

He started dating Yu Shu, the beautiful girl who sat in front of him in high school, and now they plan to get married before graduation and have a child.

Lu Hongsheng will go to serve in the military, while Yu Shu will stay in Vermilion Cloud City as the child's sole guardian.

"If I had known I would be able to marry Yu Shu, I would have started working harder in high school..."

Lu Hongsheng was originally carefree and planned to just get through the ten years of military service. But now that he has a girlfriend and they are even talking about marriage and having children, he has suddenly matured.

He began to lament why he hadn't worked harder when he was young. Even if he hadn't been as outstanding as Chen Mobai, if he had been able to cultivate Spiritual Sense, learning the Hundred Arts of Cultivation cultivation would have been much easier. Even if he had to serve in the military, he could have become a technical soldier.

Instead, they are no longer like they are now, where even if they want to study and improve, they are far inferior to their peers who have developed their Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

"The Military Department is a great melting pot, and also another school. Although you have failed in your studies in the Immortal Sect, if you can work hard there, you may still be able to seize the opportunity to Foundation Establishment. Work hard, and I hope that a hundred years from now, I will still have you as my friend."

Chen Mobai also had deep feelings for his deskmate Lu Hongsheng. However, when it comes to things like self-motivation in cultivation, only self-awareness is effective; you can't persuade someone to do it.

However, it's not too late to realize this now.

After all, these people are generally only 28 years old after graduating from university, and there are still 32 years until the Sixty-Year Limit when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Military Department's ten years of rigorous training were originally intended to identify the hidden gems that had been selected from the Immortal Sect University, but the selection process would be extremely arduous.

Moreover, when the Lesser Red Heaven opened, the Immortal Sect announced that World Opening War within a hundred years, and the first to be conscripted would be cultivators with military service experience.

If you fail to stand out in the first thirty years of your life, then you will have to work incredibly hard to Foundation Establishment in the next thirty years.

Lu Hongsheng is now prepared for this.

Chen Mobai didn't know how long he could maintain this momentum, but he hoped that his family could really change his lazy and indolent personality.

After Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai also went to see the other classmates.

To his surprise, Shi Jingjing, whom he had always thought was carefree and lazy, actually decided to serve in the military.

"There's nothing I can do. There aren't any men around me that I'm interested in. Even if I were willing to have your child, you definitely wouldn't want to, someone as outstanding as you."

Shi Jingjing was as direct as ever. Chen Mobai could only laugh awkwardly and remain silent.

"Don't be discouraged, you still have one last year, maybe you'll succeed."

Cao Yaling comforted her friend, saying that even after she had reached the Foundation Establishment, their relationship remained very good, just like Xu Yuan He and Shi Yuanqing.

Chen Mobai originally thought that Xu Yuan He and Shi Jingjing were a good match, but it seemed that both of them had expectations for their Foundation Establishment and had no intention of giving up. They wanted to go to the Military Department to hone their skills for another ten years.

As graduation approaches, everyone needs to make a choice about their future.

Marriage and children are the most gentle and stable future that the Immortal Sect offers to everyone.

The Military Department, on the other hand, offered Thread of Life to the unwilling cultivators.

The other pair, Chen Mobai never expected.

Song Zheng and Mo Simin started talking. Yan Bingxuan had told him that she had obtained the Snow Elf Water and was preparing to Foundation Establishment. Before going into seclusion, she had called Chen Mobai all night.

Chen Mobai: [That's strange. How did their personalities come together?]

Yan Bingxuan: [It was Min'er who pursued him. She didn't want to go to the Military Department, and since she and Song Zheng both worked at the Heavenly Script Academy, and she felt he was a good person after so many years of getting to know him, she took the initiative to bring it up.]

Chen Mobai: [As expected, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man.]

Yan Bingxuan, on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

Yan Bingxuan: [After Song Zheng Foundation Establishment Failure, his personality became less stubborn, and he wanted to change himself. So he started talking to Min'er. However, whether it will work out depends on whether they can get married before graduation next year.]

In high school, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan competed for the top spot in their class for a period of time.

However, they have all grown up now and find their childish behavior back then laughable.

Chen Mobai hung up the phone with Yan Bingxuan after daybreak.

Finally, he didn't forget to wish her success in Foundation Establishment.

After chatting with all his classmates and friends in Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai realized that under the immense pressure of their final year after graduation, everyone seemed to have matured in such a short period of time.

For the first time, Chen Mobai felt admiration for the people who established this system in the Immortal Sect.

This is the foundation of stability in governing a country.

However, for him, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he had already stepped out of his comfort zone and could now make some decisions on his own.

At the end of the year, he applied to the relevant departments of Vermilion Cloud City for a price reduction sales permit again. This time, due to the experience gained last year, he started the promotion half a month earlier, so he sold more than last year.

The sale of 300,000 Talisman Paper brought Chen Mobai an income of 21 million Merit Points.

After paying off the mortgage on the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, he was finally free of debt.

What made him even happier was that the quality of the Jade Talisman Paper produced by the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory this year had finally stabilized, ensuring that all the talismans produced were of the Second Grade low grade.

For other Talisman factories, this can only be considered barely acceptable, but for the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, which lacks sufficient resources, it is already a cause for celebration.

Although there were still no profits this year, Chen Mobai still distributed bonuses as usual, and asked workshop director Pan Kaiqiang to continue leading the workers to refine Second Grade Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink next year, and strive to use a lot of experience to cultivate a group of mature workers, in order to prepare for the Third-grade Talisman Paper and Ink of the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman in the future.

Knowing full well that the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory had suffered losses for two consecutive years, Pan Kaiqiang felt guilty after receiving the bonus, but secretly vowed to make better products for the company in the future.

After completing the business restructuring in Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai moved the million Talisman Paper produced by the Puppet Factory this year to Little South Mountain.

Two days later, the three disciples who had dealt with the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice returned.

Liu Wenbai also brought Xue Ting, a disciple of Lan Lingping.

Chen Mobai met with her once, then called Zhuo Ming up and asked his second apprentice, who was best at farming, to mentor her. How much she could learn depended on her diligence and hard work.

Zhuo Ming naturally had no doubts about her master's arrangements.

She took Xue Ting to her own Ting Mountain, first letting her learn about cooking from the Spirit Oil Yellow Vegetable grown on the Terraced Fields there, and then gradually guiding her through the Spirit Plant Fire Spirit Rice.

At the end of the year, the four members of the Little South Mountain Lineage will definitely have a get-together.

"You've all worked hard."

Chen Mobai nodded to his three disciples and then asked them if they had any questions or doubts about their cultivation this year.

Liu Wenbai, as the senior disciple, spoke first. He had lost some of his vital energy on the Lei Kingdom Battlefield because of the Pulse Breaking Bead, and had only just recovered this year. This time, however, he had a different experience. He didn't know why, so he asked Chen Mobai for guidance.

"It's very simple. Your previous understanding of the cultivation method was wrong... or rather, not entirely correct, but one-sided. As your experience and cultivation level increase, you will gradually come to understand the full picture of the cultivation method. However, to discern whether your understanding is correct or not, you need guidance from someone at a higher level."

As the master, Chen Mobai was a person of such a high level. His guidance made Liu Wenbai's understanding of the Two Aspects Technique, the Azure Water Art, and the Longevity Sutra more profound.

Next was Zhuo Ming, who was a little embarrassed because she had the most questions.

After all, among the Little South Mountain Lineage, her cultivation level was the lowest, only at the Qi Cultivation Level 8.

She also cultivated the Nine Ren Dharma Body, but she herself knew nothing about body tempering.

So over the course of the year, the accumulated questions filled a small booklet.

Chen Mobai took a look and nodded in approval. These questions reflected Zhuo Ming's diligence and hard work.

He began to explain point by point. Although he had never cultivated the Nine Ren Dharma Body, with the Formless Puppet present, he could easily deduce the Qi Refining part.

"Master, I feel that I am about to break through my Qi Refining realm again this year. Isn't that a bit too fast?"

Finally, Zhuo Ming asked another question, somewhat hesitantly.

Progressing one level per year is already considered genius-level in the Eastern Wasteland; even some true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect don't have this kind of speed.

Chen Mobai knew that this was Zhuo Ming's normal speed.

After all, her Earth Spiritual Root is exceptionally outstanding, and in the past two years, she has personally managed to cultivate a thousand acres of Spirit Field, comprehended the essence of the Earth Mother Technique, and has no shortage of Spirit Stone and Spirit Rice. It would be a problem if she didn't make progress.

However, he understood Zhuo Ming's mindset. She considered herself to have average talent. To put her at ease, he personally took her pulse and then nodded casually. "It's normal progress. But to ensure a solid foundation, you shouldn't try to break through. Wait until your spiritual energy is full, and then naturally open up your dantian and qi sea. This will also benefit your Foundation Establishment in the future."

"Thank you, Master. I can rest assured now."

As expected, after hearing his words, Zhuo Ming's initial unease vanished immediately, replaced by a wide smile on her round face.

This second disciple was Chen Mobai's most promising disciple, whom he regarded as his Legacy Disciple. As long as she cultivated step by step, she would definitely be able to Foundation Establishment. Therefore, Chen Mobai was the most meticulous in teaching her.

When it was Luo Yixuan's turn, although she also had a lot of questions, Chen Mobai knew at a glance that they were just made up. He raised his finger and tapped her smooth forehead, causing her to cover her head with tears in her eyes and kneel on the grass, saying that she was wrong.

"Where did we go wrong?"

"Master, I've done everything wrong."

"You're such a clever kid."

When Chen Mobai saw that Luo Yixuan's eyes were filled with tears and she seemed genuinely frightened, he couldn't help but laugh and gestured for her to get up.

However, Luo Yixuan still dared not get up and continued to kneel, recounting in detail how she had abused her master's name to act arrogantly and recklessly in the Luo Family.

"That's really a bit wrong."

Chen Mobai had no idea that Luo Yixuan had done such a thing, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself after hearing it.

"Master, this is also my fault. I didn't manage the transportation of the Spirit Rice well. Junior Sister only requisitioned the Luo Family's Spirit Camel to help me complete the mission as soon as possible."

At this moment, Liu Wenbai also knelt down to plead for Luo Yixuan. Seeing that the two of them were kneeling, Zhuo Ming felt it was inappropriate for her to stand, so she also knelt down.

Chen Mobai: "Were Spirit Stone paid for requisitioning the Luo Family's Spirit Camel?"

Liu Wenbai honestly replied, "I gave them the money, it was all at market price. I originally wanted to give them more, but the Luo Family didn't dare to accept it."

Chen Mobai: "If you give it to me, then it's nothing. But Xuan'er, you will also be a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the future, with more than two hundred years of lifespan ahead of you. Just let go of the grievances you suffered as a child, and don't keep them in your heart, lest they become Heart Demon in the future."

Hearing her master say that, Luo Yixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped crying.

"I will obey Master's orders."

With tears streaming down her face, she raised her head and timidly bowed to Chen Mobai once more.

"Alright, get up, all of you. My disciples don't need so much formality."

With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Mobai lifted his three disciples to their feet with his spiritual power. Then he returned Luo Yixuan's question booklet to her, "Don't waste my time writing these sloppy things in the future."

Only then did the three realize why their master had knocked their junior sister's forehead—it was because of this trivial matter.

Luo Yixuan blushed deeply and lowered her head shyly.

"Master, this is the income of Little South Mountain Shop this year. Because we have two more shops in Yun Country and Snow Country, the income is slightly higher, totaling 48,367 Low-grade Spirit Stone."

Seeing that his junior sister was about to disappear into thin air, Liu Wenbai immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai. The latter took it with satisfaction and saw that it contained 480 Mid-grade Spirit Stone, as well as some other odds and ends.

"Master, the path to the Blowing Snow Palace has been paved. Next year, I plan to Little South Mountain Shop to the Shuang Country. Also, regarding the Yu Country and Lei Kingdom within the sect's territory, should you and Uncle Zhou and Uncle Hong He give them a heads-up?"

In the past two years, Liu Wenbai has been managing shops outside. Large amounts of Spirit Stone stones have passed through his hands, and he has felt an unprecedented sense of life meaning. Now he only wants to make Little South Mountain Shop bigger and stronger and spread it all over the Eastern Wasteland.

"We're not considering the Lei Kingdom for now. War is about to break out, and if we go there, it might be reduced to ruins. Although the Shuang Country is also part of the Blowing Snow Palace, it borders the Lei Kingdom Yan Kingdom. If the war escalates, we could very well be affected, so we won't go there for the time being."

The Yu Country, guarded by the Hong He, is located at the southernmost tip of the Divine Wood Sect Sect's territory, bordering the Five Elements Sect. It should be safe until the great battle at the summit of Mountain Shaking Peak ends.

It's a pity that Hong He is a rule-abiding person; he won't come over unless there's something important to do at the sect.

Chen Mobai could only write a letter and give it to Liu Wenbai, asking him to take it with him after the New Year to visit Hong He with some gifts. He figured that with Liu Wenbai's help, the Little South Mountain Shop wouldn't be a big problem.

"Here, here's your New Year's money for the three of you."

After everything was explained, Chen Mobai took out three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stone and gave one hundred to each disciple.

The three disciples happily accepted it, as it was equivalent to a year's worth of benefits for them at the Divine Wood Sect.

"Ming'er, go open a new jar of Spirit Wine. Xuan'er, go pick some bamboo shoots. Wen Bai, go catch some Rice Flower Fish. Your master will pick two Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and catch a few Spirit Chicken while we're at it. Tonight, the four of us, master and disciples, will have a good get-together."

Today is like the Lunar New Year in the Eastern Wasteland, Chen Mobai felt it was necessary to prepare some good food for his disciples, so he decided to cook the dishes himself.

"By the way, that disciple of the Blowing Snow Palace must be quite lonely by herself, let's bring her along too."

Before Chen Mobai went down the mountain, he remembered this matter again and said it to Zhuo Ming, who immediately nodded.

"This is..."

When Xue Ting was brought over by Zhuo Ming, she saw Chen Mobai stirring the food with a spatula, dripping oil as he did so. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Find a tree stump to sit on for a bit, I'm going to kill a chicken."

Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan are both from prominent families; they're fine with cooking rice, but they're definitely not good at killing chickens.

However, Liu Wenbai is skilled at killing fish because of his family's tradition of fishkeeping.

Then, to Xue Ting's disbelief, Zhuo Ming rolled up his sleeves and deftly chopped off the chicken's head, bled it, plucked its feathers, and gutted it.

"Today, your teacher will make you a spicy diced chicken dish. I happened to see these Wild Mountain Pepper while catching the Spirit Chicken, so I guarantee you'll enjoy it to the fullest."

Chen Mobai took out various seasonings from his storage bag, and after cooking a bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots, he began to put the chicken that Zhuo Ming had prepared and the fish that Wen Bai had killed into the pot one after another.

Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan had already skillfully skewered chicken wings and drumsticks with wooden sticks and placed them on the campfire to roast continuously.

"Junior Sister Xue Ting, the meal is simple, please don't mind it."

After Chen Mobai finished cooking, he put down the pots and pans and carried two large basins of food over. Soon after, Liu Wenbai and the other two also came over with cooked Spirit Rice, warm Spirit Wine, and roasted chicken wings and drumsticks.

"Greetings, Uncle Chen, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister Zhuo, and Senior Sister Luo."

Xue Ting seemed to be a little reserved, only offering the simplest greetings.

Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that they could start eating. Luo Yixuan immediately poured him a cup of Spirit Wine, and then handed him the best chicken wings and drumsticks she had grilled.

"Your constitution is special, so I specially cooked a pot of Fire Spirit Rice to eat with this Second Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. It should be more helpful for your blood and qi."

Liu Wenbai split open a tube of Jade Bamboo, mixed the Spirit Rice inside with a bowl of Fire Spirit Rice, and handed it to Xue Ting.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu."

Xue Ting seemed to have never expected to receive such treatment at Little South Mountain. Looking at the master-disciple relationship she had never seen before, she felt a huge shock to her heart.

She glanced down at the bowl of Spirit Rice, which looked like white and red jade, that was handed to her, hesitated for a moment, and then removed her veil.

Indeed, she was beautiful and refined, as pure as Water Immortal.

The four members of the group were also amazed by her ethereal beauty, but their admiration was limited to that.

"Xue Ting, you are so beautiful."

Luo Yixuan offered a polite compliment.

"Not at all, Senior Sister Luo's beauty and grace are far beyond my reach."

After taking one look at Xue Ting's true appearance, Chen Mobai lost interest, treating her much like his junior apprentice. He then called over his Senior Disciple to begin drinking together.

However, among the people of Little South Mountain, Zhuo Ming.

"Would you like a drink? This is a specialty of our Little South Mountain. It's especially beneficial for people with a cold constitution."

Luo Yixuan was taking care of the newcomer Xue Ting. After eating the Spirit Rice in small bites, Xue Ting indeed felt her blood and qi begin to warm up and flow smoothly. Upon hearing this, she became interested and took a small sip.

After taking that bite, her snow-white cheeks immediately Qidian, her previously icy demeanor vanished, her eyes sparkled, and her expression became charming.

Unfortunately, only Luo Yixuan saw her delicate face, which showed signs of being unable to hold her liquor. The three masters and disciples on the other side were already slightly tipsy and had gotten drunk.

After dawn, Zhuo Ming took Xue Ting back to her Ting Mountain, while Luo Yixuan stayed behind to tidy up the top of Little South Mountain.

Liu Wenbai collapsed drunk on the grass and fell fast asleep.

Chen Mobai ignored him, gestured for Luo Yixuan to go back, and then returned to his wooden house. He took out a Mid-grade Spirit Stone, and after sobering up, began to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharma Body.

In the new year, let's continue to work hard and diligently.

After the Eastern Wasteland, the New Year will also be celebrated in Vermilion Cloud City. However, this time, without the noisy chatter of her younger sister Wang Xinying, it feels a bit deserted.

After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to the Wuqi Dao Academy. He sat in his wooden house, and although he had no expectations, he couldn't help but look up at the mountaintop.

Meng Huang'er had already bought the Hilltop Villa and had given Chen Mobai a set of Key before graduation.

However, without the beautiful woman waiting up there, Chen Mobai felt quite unaccustomed to it, and at first, he felt a little empty inside.

So he focused his attention on his work. One day, while he was busy with the preliminary work of assembling the Formless Puppet, he suddenly received a call from Yan Bingxuan.

"I have successfully Foundation Establishment!"

When Chen Mobai heard these words, a heartfelt joy welled up inside him.

Then came a strange sense of anticipation.
