Morning Bell

[Host detected to have traversed the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane. Should we anchor to this New World for future teleportation?]

This pop-up notification was something Chen Mobai had encountered twice before: once in the Divine Tree Secret Realm of the Sky River Realm and Quiet Small Realm of the Goumang Dao Academy.

In other words, he is now being led into a Small World by Venerable Cheng Xuan.

This must be the Realm Domain of this Nascent Soul cultivator! It's amazing that Turtle Treasure can recognize it and regard it as New World.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai immediately pressed the vibrate button on his phone. After all, he was right next to a Nascent Soul cultivator and dared not be presumptuous.

Just then, the silver light that enveloped him dissipated, and a dark red glow filled his eyes. Looking up, he realized that he had arrived at the depths of the Myriad Treasures Cave.

They floated in mid-air, looking down to see the Black Island at the center of the Magma.

It's unclear whether this method of Teleport people is a unique technique cultivated by Venerable Cheng Xuan or a distinctive feature of the Nascent Realm Domain.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai silently followed Venerable Cheng Xuan and slowly landed.

Duanmu Longrong had already sensed the commotion above, had also come out of the stone house. She seemed to have been notified in advance, as she saw that their expressions did not change.

"Teacher."

However, Duanmu Longrong still bowed respectfully to Venerable Cheng Xuan.

"Okay, take out that Black Gold Seal made of Third Grade Red Copper and that Heavenly Thunder Crystal Pearl."

As the principal of the Wuqi Dao Academy and the number one Artifact Refiner in the Immortal Sect, Venerable Cheng Xuan is very familiar with all the Third Grade and above Magic Artifact in the Myriad Treasures Cave.

As soon as he spoke, Duanmu Longrong immediately took out two Artifact Nurturing Sphere from the stone house.

Chen Mobai immediately went up and exchanged 100 credits for a Artifact Piece. Zhongli Tianyu had just opened the Artifact Nurturing Sphere to Talisman Making talisman for his graduation project, so he didn't have enough credits in his account.

"I'll pay it back first. After graduation, I'll stay and work as a teaching assistant for a few years until I pay it back before leaving."

Venerable Cheng Xuan could speak, Duanmu Longrong had already proposed a method. Zhongli Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. After all, not just anyone could ask the principal to refine Magic Artifact.

The two Artifact Piece triggered Fire Element Divine Light, opening the two Artifact Nurturing Sphere to reveal a dark red copper seal and a Shuijing bead shimmering with lightning.

Venerable Cheng Xuan nodded, pointed, and examined the two items.

"Yes, its spiritual essence has not been lost; it has been preserved very well."

After acknowledging Duanmu Longrong's work, Venerable Cheng Xuan made a clenched fist with his other hand towards the Magma outside the island.

This single movement seemed to possess the power of heaven and earth. Vast and boundless Magma condensed and flowed around his five fingers. The Fire Element Divine Light that had incinerated the Artifact Nurturing Sphere was actually captured by him, transforming into a wisp of Flowing Gold light that landed on the bronze seal.

After a few breaths, the Third Grade Magic Tool changed from a solid to a crimson liquid.

Is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator?!

Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu were both shocked when they saw this scene.

The Third Tier Magic Tool was restored to its original form with a single palm strike; if it had landed on a person, it would probably have turned to ashes.

"Xiao Chen, do you have any requirements for the appearance of the Pure Yang Bell? For example, do you want it engraved with your own mark or name?"

At this moment, while conjuring up the liquid Red Copper copper in his palm to form a bell shape, Venerable Cheng Xuan asked a question.

"I don't have any special requirements, just something low-key and simple. You can have my surname engraved on the inside of the clock."

Chen Mobai was going to take this Pure Yang Bell to the Sky River Realm, where everyone was a formidable character, so his Magic Artifact couldn't be too flashy or attract attention.

However, since it was his own Natal Magic Tool, Chen Mobai thought about it and decided to carve a word on it to declare his ownership.

"As for Chen... how about using 'Chen'? Chen means the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality, which also matches the essence of the Pure Yang Bell."

In the end, it was Venerable Cheng Xuan lived longer and came up with a word that perfectly suited Chen Mobai's taste.

After hearing this, he immediately nodded.

At this moment, Venerable Cheng Xuan had already begun to imprint various Restriction and hand seals into the Red Copper, and gradually the shape of this "Morning Bell" emerged.

"I will take a drop of your Essence Blood and a strand of spiritual power."

At the last moment, Venerable Cheng Xuan spoke again, and Chen Mobai immediately bit his fingertip, letting a stream of Pure Yang Spiritual Power mixed with his Essence Blood fall onto the nose of the Morning Bell.

With a clang, Essence Blood and spiritual power merged together.

Chen Mobai felt as if his mind had been shaken by the sound of a bell, and his Spiritual Sense, which had been enhanced by Meng Huang'er, became even more solid and pure.

This is only Magic Artifact embryo, yet it already has such an effect. If it were to truly upgrade to the Third Grade, wouldn't that be even more incredible?

Chen Mobai felt his Spiritual Sense being tempered by the sound of the bell, and couldn't help but show a happy expression.

As expected, his choice of the Pure Yang Bell was correct.

With this, his Three Tribulations in Core Formation will no longer be a problem.

"Take it. Use the methods from the Pure Yang Scroll to nurture it. You'll have to wait sixty years to try forming Core Formation Foundation Establishment anyway. After you've completed your Foundation Establishment, pour the Pure Yang Spiritual Power you've gained over the decades into it. It might even allow you to upgrade it to the Third Grade before you can Core Formation."

Venerable Cheng Xuan gave Chen Mobai some guidance, which is why he was willing to refine it. If it were any other Foundation Establishment students in the Dao Academy, they might have been hindered by the embryonic form of their Natal Magic Tool, thus delaying their cultivation progress.

However, Chen Mobai has already Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. With his talent, he will definitely be able to Foundation Establishment within ten years. The most agonizing days in the Immortal Sect are waiting for the resources to break through to the next realm.

Qi Refining and other Foundation Establishment Trio, Foundation Establishment and other Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, Golden Core and other Nascent Soul Nascent Formation Objects, Nascent Soul and other Startling Spirit Melody, etc.

Venerable Cheng Xuan, having been through it all, understands best.

Therefore, they wanted to find something to do to pass the time for the most outstanding graduates in the Dao Academy, who could definitely cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

"Thirty-five minutes and twenty-seven seconds. I'm getting old. A hundred years ago, I could refine a Third Tier Magic Tool embryo like this in less than half an hour."

After handing the Morning Bell to Chen Mobai, Venerable Cheng Xuan took out his phone to check the timer and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

His words left the three people present speechless.

"This Heavenly Thunder Crystal Pearl cannot be refined with fire; it requires Cold Refining. The material of this crystal bead is the same as the Zhen Trigram mirror of your Eight Trigrams Mirror. I see that you prefer Thunder Method, so let's play to that."

Venerable Cheng Xuan truly lives up to his reputation as the number one Artifact Refiner in the Immortal Sect. Although Zhongli Tianyu himself didn't have any specific requirements, he still did his best.

However, since the Eight Trigrams Mirror was originally Fifth Tier Magic Tool, Venerable Cheng Xuan did not dare to make drastic modifications. He simply used a special Spiritual Glue glue to attach the Heavenly Thunder Crystal Pearl to the Zhen Trigram mirror and applied two Restriction.

As Zhongli Tianyu continued Comprehend Together cultivate alongside this Magic Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Essence contained within the crystal bead would gradually merge into the Magic Artifact and his body. Once he Core Formation, the power of the Zhen Eight Trigrams Mirror would be restored to one or two-tenths of its Zhen Trigram strength.

"Thank you, Principal."

Zhongli Tianyu clearly recognized its value; after accepting the Eight Trigrams Mirror, he thanked Venerable Cheng Xuan.

"I hope that when I see you two again in the future, it will be at the grand assembly in the Opening the Origin Hall."

Those who can participate in the grand assembly at the Opening the Origin Hall are all cultivators of the Golden Core Immortal Sect or above from the Immortal Sect.

Venerable Cheng Xuan's words already showed that he had high hopes for Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu.

"I will certainly live up to the principal's expectations."

Chen Mobai was naturally full of confidence. With resources from both realms at his disposal, he had no fear of Core Formation.

This confidence made Venerable Cheng Xuan laugh heartily. Then, his whole body shimmered with silver light and he disappeared from the spot.

"Um... Teacher Duanmu, could you take us back?"

Chen Mobai watched as Venerable Cheng Xuan moved away, then glanced at Duanmu Longrong not far away, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

In the end, Che Yucheng came over in person and took the two of them out.

However, Chen Mobai did not return to his wooden house.

He told Meng Huang'er that he was still in the Myriad Treasures Cave, using the excuse that he had just obtained the embryo of his Natal Magic Tool and had not yet fully mastered it, so he needed to nurture it for a few days using the art of weapon nurturing.

Although Meng Huang'er was somewhat disappointed by this, she still understood the bigger picture.

She took advantage of these few days to book a room in Building Nine to cultivate, and after regulating her essence, energy and spirit, she took the Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

After hanging up the phone with Meng Huang'er, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhongli Tianyu was originally going back to the Student Union, but Chen Mobai, in order to prevent Meng Huang'er from discovering that his words were just an excuse, dragged him to Lesser Red Heaven to spar for a few rounds.

The killing spree between the two is no longer the one-sided massacre that happened before.

Zhongli Tianyu has made unimaginable progress in the past two years. He has not only defeated all the students of the Four Great Dao Academies Ten Great Academies in Lesser Red Heaven, but also many Foundation Establishment Cultivator have graduated.

Only renowned Foundation Establishment cultivators like Wenren Xuewei, Lou Fengcheng, and Tao Mingqing were able to defeat Zhongli Tianyu in the battle against Lesser Red Heaven.

However, in two more years, when Zhongli Tianyu also reaches the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, it is estimated that apart from Chen Mobai, no other Foundation Establishment Cultivator will be able to suppress him.

The two fought five times in Lesser Red Heaven. Although Chen Mobai won all five matches, he had used almost all of his trump cards.

If Zhongli Tianyu didn't use his three trump cards —Flame Explosion Technique, Myriad Sword Dharma Body, and Five Elements Sword Sha Formation —he could have even forced Chen Mobai to a draw.

It can only be said that Chen Mobai has reached the limit in the Foundation Establishment realm. Any further improvement will require tremendous effort.

Meanwhile, Zhongli Tianyu and the others, who had previously been left behind, made up for their shortcomings in Spell Duel by using Lesser Red Heaven and caught up step by step.

"No, I can't become an old guy whose experience books get stolen."

Although Chen Mobai enjoys being a teacher, he doesn't like being a predecessor who gets swept away by the next generation. So, after realizing this, he became somewhat eager to Core Formation.

He even considered whether he should wait for Meng Huang'er, and instead try to break through to the Core Formation himself after he had mastered the Six Yang Body and completed the Foundation Establishment the Pure Yang Scroll.

With his right hand outstretched, five streams of Flowing Light flashed and transformed into Five-Colored Sword Domain, trapping and defeating Zhongli Tianyu. Chen Mobai then withdrew from Lesser Red Heaven first.

The two of them were inside the cave of that Fire Spirit Tree, next to Bian Jingchun, who was cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture.

This place can be considered their secret base.

After glancing at Zhongli Tianyu, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Chen Mobai sat down on a rock and took out his phone.

When he Spell Duel in Lesser Red Heaven, he sensed a text message, so he used the Five Elements Sword Sha Formation to finish the battle quickly.

Shi Wanyu: [Hello Senior Chen, graduation is approaching, and I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again. I'd like to express my best wishes to you with a delicious meal. I look forward to your reply.]

Does this mean I'm being invited to dinner?

After reading it, Chen Mobai did a reading comprehension exercise.

He still had a deep impression of Shi Wanyu, this beautiful young woman, but he felt that it was better not to send out too many signals.

When they parted ways at the Mountain Sea Academy, Chen Mobai felt that he would not have any further contact with her. Unexpectedly, she actually mustered up the courage to invite him on a date when they graduated.

Chen Mobai: [I've been busy with graduation ceremony preparations lately. As you know, I'm the Chief of the Dao Academy, and I have too many responsibilities. I'll invite you again when I have more free time.]

After thinking it over, Chen Mobai still politely declined Shi Wanyu.

Flowing Light Academy.

Upon seeing Chen Mobai's reply, Shi Wanyu's expectant expression instantly dimmed. Her once bright eyes seemed to have lost their luster, and her lips twitched as if she was about to lose control of her emotions and burst into tears.

Seeing this scene from the shadows of the dormitory balcony, Chen Chun wondered if she had come to the wrong person.

Could this girl in front of me not be the Fated One?

She couldn't believe that person was such a love-obsessed person! But immediately, Chen Chun cheered herself up, thinking that this must be the backlash from peeking into too many heavenly secrets, making her Karma cultivation less smooth.

It's not time for complete failure yet. As long as Shi Wanyu realizes that she can be exempted from military service once she successfully Foundation Establishment, everything will return to normal.

But shouldn't this be common sense?

Who would think of having a baby as their first thought?! How awful!

As Chen Chun thought this through, she planned out the next time she would meet Shi Wanyu. Since the latter was currently heartbroken from a breakup, she decided not to show herself.

Inside the Myriad Treasures Cave.

After Chen Mobai rejected Shi Wanyu, he suddenly remembered that she seemed to have given him a gift back in the Mountain Sea Academy.

It is said that she infused the White Stone with sword energy.

Just then, Chen Mobai took out a palm-sized, exquisitely crafted Sword Pouch from his storage bag. The pouch was embroidered with a simple line drawing of the outline of the two people's photo.

Just as he was about to turn it on, the phone suddenly rang.

It belongs to Meng Huang'er.

I feel like I'm about to break through; do you want to come over?

Of course.

Someone as passionate about cultivation as him would never miss any opportunity to improve himself.

As he got up to leave, Chen Mobai casually emptied the White Stone from his Sword Pouch...
