Farewell, Meng Huang'er

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai has been at the Wuqi Dao Academy for ten years.

For someone still relatively young like him, the events and experiences of the past ten years have been nothing short of dramatic.

It was also the most glorious decade of his life since he became conscious.

However, he also believed that this was just the beginning, and that he would continue to achieve such glory for the next ten, hundred, or even thousand years.

When Chen Mobai returned, it was just the time when the graduation project results for the Class 5012 were released.

Without a doubt.

His team of Formless Puppet won first place.

The second place went to Zhongli Tianyu, who crafted a Talisman Treasure.

The raw material for this Talisman Treasure was a Second Grade high-grade magic Magic Artifact that was about to be scrapped in the Myriad Treasures Cave. Zhongli Tianyu used his Thunder Method to not only refine it into Talisman Treasure, but also to enhance its power to the Third Grade tier after use.

If Chen Mobai's Formless Puppet hadn't been so powerful, Zhongli Tianyu's groundbreaking achievement would have almost certainly secured him first place.

The third place is a Third Tier Magic Tool crafted by Ming Yihua.

The fourth item is a Third Grade Spirit Water refined jointly by Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran, a husband and wife team. It has a mild medicinal effect and can be used by many cultivators to improve their physical strength, as well as slightly enhance their Spiritual Sense sense.

The fifth place goes to Yun Yangbing's Third Grade Array Formation.

Among their graduating class, only these students achieved the Third Grade- level design award.

However, compared to previous years, this can be considered a very outstanding year.

In particular, Zhongli Tianyu's graduation project would rank among the top ten even if placed in the thousands of years of history of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

It's just a pity that she met Chen Mobai.

The Formless Puppet is Third Tier Peak Puppetry, already capable of competing for a top-three spot.

After returning to the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai was naturally dragged off to drink by Ming Yihua and the others.

On graduation day, everyone who had been away returned. The Spirit Transmutation Class gathered together at the Dao Academy, a rare occasion, and naturally they had to drink to their hearts' content.

Three days later, Chen Mobai finally had time to visit Myriad Treasures Cave.

He came to the Student Union to say goodbye.

Aside from the younger members who joined the Student Union during his tenure, many of the current upper echelons of the Student Union are people he knows well.

For example, Zhongli Tianyu, Zhuang Jialan, Zhai Jianbai, and the Spirit Transmutation Class, etc.

There is also Bian Jingchun, who has been living in Myriad Treasures Cave for two years. She has made rapid progress in practicing the Dragon Transformation Scripture with the help of the True Dragon Cauldron.

When Chen Mobai found out, he called out to her, and she readily agreed.

At the Student Union's farewell dinner, everyone drank heavily once again.

What are your plans after graduation?

Halfway through the drink, Chen Mobai asked Zhongli Tianyu a question.

"Continue to hone your skills and find the remaining fragments of the Eight Trigrams Mirror."

Although Zhongli Tianyu was exceptionally talented, he was actually a very simple person. He took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror, which was still missing a lot, and said in a calm tone.

"I will continue to study at the Mountain Sea Academy for a period of time. If I can find a suitable department in the Immortal Sect, I will also consider obtaining the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill."

Zhai Jianbai is a man deeply passionate about swordsmanship, but in order to Core Formation, he still needs to take the Civil Service Examination.

Zhuang Jialan was in the same boat. After graduation, she planned to work as a teaching assistant in the Talisman Department of the Daoist Dao Academy. If she could get a position in the Civil Service Examination to obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, she would leave the Dao Academy.

This is also the thought of most Dao Academy graduates. After all, if you accumulate enough credits and years of service in the Dao Academy, you can also obtain the Five Elements Golden Core Pill.

If they didn't see any hope of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, they would all be willing to stay in this familiar environment.

"And you?"

Zhongli Tianyu asked, and everyone's eyes turned to Chen Mobai.

"I will go to the Sky Mending Dao Academy for graduate studies, and then go back to build up my hometown."

Chen Mobai put down his wine glass and said something that shocked everyone.

"I can understand pursuing a master's degree, but is your decision to return to your rural hometown because you knew you would be assigned there if you took the Civil Service Examination?"

"No, I don't plan to take the Civil Service Examination; I just want to do business and revitalize my hometown."

Doing business?

Many people couldn't understand Chen Mobai's idea, and Bian Jingchun, who thought she had a good relationship with him, even tried to persuade him.

After all, although Chen Mobai is known as Potential for Spirit Transmutation, if he wants to Core Formation, it would be best for him to join Immortal Sect and serve the people.

With his reputation and the operation of the Wuqi Dao Academy, he would definitely be able to obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill once he reached the required years of service.

No matter how great your talent, if it doesn't materialize, it's just empty talk.

"I want to try to form my Core Formation on my own. If I really can't do it, then it won't be too late to go to the Immortal Sect."

Chen Mobai could only use the words he used to fool Wenren Xuewei and the others. As soon as he said that, all the friends who were trying to persuade him shut up.

If there is anyone in the entire Immortal Sect who can form a core without the aid of a Core Formation Core Formation Spirit Medicine, then he is probably the only one.

Everyone thought he had grand ideals and was arrogant.

Zhuang Jialan and the others looked at Chen Mobai with admiration and longing, feeling that what he had just said was incredibly manly.

"After graduation, let's have a competition to see who Core Formation first."

Zhongli Tianyu picked up the yogurt in his hand and said to Chen Mobai, "I don't like drinking alcohol, I only drink yogurt, but what I said excited everyone present."

"Sure, let's put some pressure on myself. Shall we bet on something?"

Chen Mobai thought to himself that with so many resources in the Eastern Wasteland, the two major sects of the Divine Wood Sect and Returning Heaven Valley serving him alone to refine the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, plus the Two Aspects Technique, there was no way he could lose to Zhongli Tianyu. He agreed with full confidence and even suggested adding some prizes.

"What are you betting? You don't mean my treasured signed complete set of ' One Man World ' comics, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu frowned slightly. Having always been number one since childhood, he felt a sense of guilt for the first time.

He wasn't confident about the guy in front of him, though.

Because I had lost so many times, my confidence had been completely shattered when I faced him.

"I have no interest in your comics."

"Okay, I'll accept anything else."

Upon hearing that Chen Mobai didn't want his comics, Zhongli Tianyu's face immediately lit up, and he accepted the bet without a second thought.

"Aren't you afraid I'll take your Eight Trigrams Mirror?"

Chen Mobai was puzzled. He had thought he had figured out Zhongli Tianyu's thought process, but now it seemed he didn't quite understand.

"I'll give it to you, do you dare take it?"

Zhongli Tianyu countered with a question that left Chen Mobai speechless.

That's true.

This thing is the Magic Artifact used by Ancestor Zhongli to attain enlightenment, and only those with the bloodline of the Zhongli Clan can unleash its full potential. Even if he had it, it would be useless to him.

"In that case, let's set the stakes as the loser doing something for the winner that doesn't violate their own principles."

Chen Mobai felt confident of winning and had no intention of continuing to bully Zhongli Tianyu. After all, he was able to have such an easy time during his last two years at the Dao Academy, thanks to Zhongli Tianyu taking over the Student Union.

So I made a very simple bet.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu also felt that his chances of winning were not high, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I heard that Senior Meng will be singing a song at the graduation ceremony."

After a few rounds of drinks, Chen Mobai was chatting with his friends when he suddenly heard a junior from the next table say this.

"Senior Sister Meng, is that Meng Huang'er?"

Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan, who was standing next to him, and received an affirmative nod from her.

"Yeah, aren't you close to Senior Meng? Didn't she tell you?"

Zhuang Jialan asked with a surprised look, Chen Mobai shook his head.

Come to think of it, it's been a year since I last saw Meng Huang'er.

After graduating, she joined the Literary Department, where she improved her cultivation while also touring the entire Immortal Sect with the Cultural Troupe.

The two occasionally kept in touch, maintaining this reserved yet passionate relationship.

During their last phone call, Chen Mobai heard Meng Huang'er say that she went to the Sea Domain with the Cultural Troupe, performed for the navy, and even visited the territory of that Spirit Venerable in the Undersea World, saying that it broadened her horizons.

[Go back and give her a call; it's been a year since we last saw each other, and I miss her quite a bit.]

Chen Mobai recalled some pleasant memories, and this thought flashed through his mind.

When the moon was high in the sky, the Student Union group finally parted ways.

After this meal, Chen Mobai's farewell dinner at the Dao Academy finally came to an end.

He parted ways with Zhongli Tianyu and the others on the way back to the Dao Academy, heading towards the Small Wooden House he had lived for ten years.

On the way, he took out his phone and dialed Meng Huang'er's number.

The call was answered very quickly.

[Hello]

[I heard you're going back to the Dao Academy to sing?]

Well, since it's your graduation ceremony, I wanted to give you a gift, but I couldn't think of anything to give you. In the end, I decided to come back and sing you a song.

Hearing Meng Huang'er's words, Chen Mobai was a little touched and thanked her.

When are you coming back? I'll come pick you up then.

"Then that won't be necessary."

[Huh?]

Just as Chen Mobai was filled with confusion, Meng Huang'er's next alluring words rang in his ears. "I've arrived. I'll be waiting for you at the usual spot."

After I finished speaking, the phone call was disconnected.

Chen Mobai felt as if he had drunk too much alcohol, and suddenly his body became hot, as if the blood in his body was boiling.

He rushed back as fast as he could, and when he arrived, he looked up and, sure enough, the Hilltop Villa, which had been uninhabited for a year, was lit up again.

Chen Mobai didn't go back to his wooden house; he flew up.

On the balcony, the beautiful senior student, whom she hadn't seen for a year, leaned on the railing with one hand and rested the other on her delicate, snow-white chin, squinting and smiling as she watched him fly over.

The bright yellow light from the room shone through the glass onto Meng Huang'er, making her snow-white skin glow, and even revealing her perfect, graceful figure beneath her beige dress.

"Long time no see, Senior Meng."

After landing, Chen Mobai looked at the Big Star senior he hadn't seen for a year and met her gentle eyes, which reminded him of the wonderful time they had spent together here.

"Yes, it's been a while."

The two were a little nervous at first when they met again after a long separation, but the moment they saw each other, they smiled at each other and reached out a hand to shake hands.

As the Villa lights went out, Meng Huang'er was already lying on the sofa. In the dim light, her snow-white skin was the light that guided Chen Mobai.

The beginning of a long-awaited reunion is always beautiful.

Chen Mobai listened as Meng Huang'er recounted her experiences over the past year. Unfortunately, the location of the Sea Domain Spirit Venerable was a controlled area within the Immortal Sect, so she couldn't reveal detailed information about what she had seen and heard.

As they talked, Meng Huang'er also revealed some good news: she had already Foundation Establishment and, with the Barrier Breaking Pill given to her by Chen Mobai, she was extremely confident of breaking through to the next level.

When she broke through a minor realm, it also benefited her Spiritual Sense, which was one of the graduation gifts she gave to Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai was deeply moved by this and couldn't help but guide Meng Huang'er through her cultivation once again.

After three days of cultivation in the Hilltop Villa, the two had to bring this wonderful time to an end.

Because the graduation ceremony rehearsal is about to begin.

Chen Mobai is the graduate representative and is going to give a speech on stage, while Meng Huang'er is the final performer; both of them have to go.

Bian Yiqing personally called them to inform them.

However, Bian Yiqing was unaware that when he called Chen Mobai, his apprentice Meng Huang'er was on him, and when he called Meng Huang'er, Chen Mobai was behind her.

"I really miss it..."

Chen Mobai and Meng Huang'er left the Hilltop Villa after a long absence and walked along the mountain path towards Chicheng Mountain. This was how they used to go to school together.

That feeling gave Chen Mobai an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

And now, this sense of satisfaction still fills his whole body, even more so.

"By the way, I think my mindset has changed a bit since you pointed it out..."

When the two were halfway there, Meng Huang'er suddenly said something that puzzled Chen Mobai.

What guidance? What changes? "Should we try this?"

Meng Huang'er suddenly blushed and led Chen Mobai away from the mountain path, arriving at a large tree. She then said something that shocked the latter.

"Cultivating the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Profound Sound Wonderful Method requires experiencing all sorts of intense emotional fluctuations, but ordinary scenes no longer have any stimulating effect on me. I've been thinking, and it seems that the time I was with you on the train was the most emotionally stimulating and devastating moment of my life..."

Chen Mobai was stunned for a moment after hearing Meng Huang'er's words.

Looking at the Big Star senior in front of him, with her rosy lips, alluring eyes, and blushing fair skin, he felt as if he were seeing a tangible image of someone who wanted to devour him.

How could it have turned out like this? Chen Mobai felt a pang of regret. If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have guided Meng Huang'er through the cultivation process in the first place.

It seems to have led her down a wrong path.

Chen Mobai felt he bore a great responsibility for this matter, so he made a decision in his heart.

We need to find a way to guide her back to the right path.
