Green Mulberry Academy

"Son, you've really Core Formation stage!?"

Looking at his parents' video on his phone, Chen Mobai smiled and nodded. Chen Xinglan and Tang Pancui on the other end were overjoyed to receive confirmation.

"If you hadn't come from my belly, I wouldn't have believed that I gave birth to such an outstanding son."

Tang Pancui's words made Chen Mobai chuckle. The family video-chatted for nearly an hour before calming down from their excitement.

"Son, let me know before you come back that we'll definitely have a big celebration for the Core Formation event, with dozens of tables set up and all our relatives and friends invited."

Although Chen Mobai wanted to show off his success in Core Formation, he still shook his head with a wry smile when it came to the idea of holding a banquet.

In fact, Tang Pancui had wanted to do it when she was in the Foundation Establishment, but the Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Sect was only the middle level, so Chen Mobai felt it was not very suitable. It was just a simple meal with family members.

But this time, Core Formation was successful, Tang Pancui insisted on holding the ceremony for three days and three nights.

"Let's talk about this when our son gets back. I'll hang up now."

Chen Xinglan waved with a smile on the screen, and then the family disconnected.

Although Chen Mobai anticipated that his failure to take pills to Core Formation would cause a sensation in the Immortal Sect, he did not expect it to be this sensational.

Since the Wuqi Dao Academy released the announcement celebrating his successful Core Formation, almost everyone who had his contact information called him, and some shy ones also sent congratulatory text messages.

Chen Mobai could only respond selectively.

After glancing at his contacts, he first called Meng Huang'er back, acknowledging that she had Core Formation.

After chatting on the phone for a while and agreeing on a time to meet next, Meng Huang'er reluctantly hung up the phone.

She's currently on tour with the Literary Department and can't leave for the time being; otherwise, she would have flown over to celebrate the day she received the news.

After dealing with Meng Huang'er, Chen Mobai checked the missed calls in his contacts.

He looked for Qing Nü's contact information, and she sent him a text message.

Congratulations on Core Formation.

That's it?

Chen Mobai felt that given his relationship with Qing Nü, she should at least make a phone call.

Perhaps because we've been busy with Core Formation in recent years, we've had less contact and our relationship has become a bit distant.

Just as Chen Mobai was wondering whether he should call her, Yan Bingxuan's call suddenly came in.

"Hello." Chen Mobai saw the caller ID and answered without hesitation.

Yan Bingxuan: [I was in seclusion breaking through to a higher realm, and my phone was off. I just turned it back on and saw a missed call from you. What's up?]

Chen Mobai: [Haven't you seen the latest trending news?]

Yan Bingxuan: [I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I thought you might be busy, so I replied first.]

Upon hearing Yan Bingxuan's blank and cold words, Chen Mobai coughed lightly and then sent her the link to the official website of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

Three seconds later!

[You 'Core Formation!!!]

Yan Bingxuan's tone suddenly became high-pitched, and the shock and joy she was about to express could be felt even through the phone screen.

Having known each other for so many years, this was the first time Chen Mobai had ever heard Yan Da Meiren speak with such rich emotions.

[Didn't I promise you I'd let you know first after Core Formation? I did call, but you didn't answer.]

Chen Mobai spoke in a helpless tone, and Yan Bingxuan apologized somewhat embarrassedly.

I wanted to share the joy I felt then with you. Although that time has passed, the joy remains the same. I Core Formation.

Chen Mobai still values rituals. On the phone, he said four words to Yan Bingxuan, sharing his joy of breaking through his cultivation level with his good friend.

Yes, I felt it!

Yan Bingxuan responded with an unprecedentedly gentle tone.

For some reason, although Yan Bingxuan didn't talk much, Chen Mobai always wanted to find topics to chat with her about, and she would respond in the same way. That awkward yet mutually yearning feeling was completely different from when he chatted with Meng Huang'er before, which made Chen Mobai very intoxicated.

If Ming Yihua hadn't suddenly called, Chen Mobai probably would have been able to chat with Yan Bingxuan until tomorrow morning.

I'll hang up now. I'll be back this year.

Yan Bingxuan concluded by saying that she had already graduated from the Sky Mending Dao Academy, but she stayed at the school to continue studying the Ice Soul Divine Light with the help of the equipment, and rarely returned to Vermilion Cloud City.

I plan to come back this year, so naturally I want to celebrate Chen Mobai's successful Core Formation in person.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

After saying that, Chen Mobai switched to Ming Yihua's phone with anticipation.

Ming Yihua: [Holy crap, Old Chen, you're awesome...]

Good brothers can talk much more freely. After Ming Yihua graduated, he was selected by the relevant departments of the Immortal Sect to be taken away because of his outstanding achievements in Artifact Refining. His phone calls with outsiders are also recorded in the whole process to prevent the leakage of some secrets.

Chen Mobai: [Alright, come find me in Vermilion Cloud City next time you're free, I'll treat you to drinks...]

After chatting with Ming Yihua, the students from the Spirit Transmutation Class naturally had to reply one by one.

Those with close relationships, such as Yun Yangbing and Wang Xingyu, would personally return the call, while the others would send a text message.

Chen Mobai spent two or three days on this matter alone.

He breathed a sigh of relief after finally finishing his call with Hua Zijing.

Just as he was about to put his phone down, another new text message came in.

It only has two simple words: [Congratulations].

Chen Mobai, who had been somewhat nonchalant, was slightly startled when he saw the sender's note.

Shi Wanyu.

They hadn't seen each other since their graduation.

So many years have passed, he had almost forgotten that he ever had this female friend.

However, that incident was still on his mind, so after thinking about it, Chen Mobai deleted the text message and pretended not to have seen it.

Now that he has Core Formation, the two are destined to have no future together.

In that case, it's best to avoid further contact.

Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.

Zhongli Tianyu frowned slightly as he looked at the text message Chen Mobai had sent back.

"If he could successfully Core Formation without taking any pills, I should be able to too, right?"

Zhongli Tianyu asked this question to Zhongli Yue, who was standing beside him. As one of only three Golden Core True Person in the Zhongli Family, she was low-key but the most likely to have the hope of Nascent Formation.

That is why she was assigned to this Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.

I don't think you're up to the task.

Zhongli Yue shook her head directly, interrupting Zhongli Tianyu's thoughts.

"Why? I am Spirit Transmutation Descendant, and I have the Eight Trigrams Mirror as Comprehend Together spiritual treasure to Core Formation."

Zhongli Tianyu was a little unconvinced. He felt that although his talent was slightly inferior to Chen Mobai's, with the blessing of the Eight Trigrams Mirror, a treasure left over from the Nascent Soul stage, he felt that he could make up for the gap.

"You are merely Spirit Transmutation Descendant, while he possesses the Potential for Spirit Transmutation. You should focus on cultivating diligently and wait until you obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill before attempting to Core Formation."

Zhongli Yue had met Chen Mobai twice and had a good impression of this polite child.

However, upon their first meeting, she felt that the child was not as amazing as the outside world had described, and she did not sense that the child's almost overflowing Potential for Spirit Transmutation.

But then Chen Mobai successfully opened up Realm Domain, which made Zhongli Yue think that the child might be being humble in front of her and deliberately holding back.

Now, hearing that he successfully Core Formation without taking any pills, Zhongli Yue is even more certain that she was ignorant back then, and that this child has the Potential for Spirit Transmutation.

"I can give it a try; I still have a long time before I reach sixty years of service."

Zhongli Tianyu was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to catch up with Chen Mobai and not be left behind.

"You are not him. Without the aid of elixirs, you certainly cannot Core Formation. Why bother trying to waste your essence and vital energy?"

Zhongli Yue's expression hardened, and although Zhongli Tianyu was very unwilling, he could only say "oh" and lower his head.

In fact, he himself knew that before Venerable Yuanxu launched the Realm Treasure, the people of his Nascent Soul family had obtained the qualification for internal testing. Zhongli Tianyu tried to simulate Core Formation himself, and he could only succeed after adding the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill.

[Damn it, am I going to never catch up with him in this lifetime?]

Zhongli Tianyu, who had been arrogant and self-important since childhood, suddenly began to doubt himself at this moment.

Even if he could successfully form his Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Core Formation, he would still be more than forty years behind Chen Mobai, who had already reached this realm.

His talent was never as good as Chen Mobai's to begin with, and after so much time, the latter might have already been able to try to Nascent Formation.

[Should we not compete with him?]

This thought suddenly flashed through Zhongli Tianyu's mind.

Chen Mobai was naturally Dao Manifestation Soul Clan were gossiping about his talent behind his back.

That day, he went to Building One on Chicheng Mountain again.

However, this time he wasn't going to see Che Yucheng, but rather to pay his respects to the principal.

The news of his Core Formation was immediately reported to Venerable Cheng Xuan by the Dao Academy. However, since a Nascent Soul cultivator needs a long time to complete a single cultivation session, a response has only been received now.

If it weren't for waiting for Venerable Cheng Xuan, Chen Mobai would have returned to the Sky River Realm long ago.

"Indeed, the Pure Yang Lineage has a worthy successor."

Venerable Cheng Xuan was very happy to see Chen Mobai enter.

The two talked for a long time, mainly Venerable Cheng Xuan speaking. He said that as long as Chen Mobai was willing, he could give him the Nascent Formation Spiritual Object from the Dao Academy after Duanmu Longrong.

Before leaving, Venerable Cheng Xuan said earnestly, "I know that after you Self-Initiated Core Formation, you think that Nascent Formation won't be too difficult, but I still want to advise you that the most suitable path for forming your Nascent Formation with the Pure Yang Scroll you cultivate is our Wuqi Lineage. In the Immortal Sect, it is almost impossible to form your Nascent Formation on your own."

The only exception is practitioners of Evergreen Technique.

"Thank you for your guidance, Principal, but wouldn't it be interesting if I could do something that no one has ever done before?"

Chen Mobai said something that stunned Venerable Cheng Xuan.

"Child, it's only fun when you succeed. If you fail, you'll feel like everything you've done was for nothing."

Venerable Cheng Xuan has seen far too many proud people, but without exception, they all eventually bowed their heads in the face of failure and passed away in despair.

Only he took one step at a time, Foundation Establishment Core Formation within the Immortal Sect's system, eventually becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This means that the path many people have taken is the most correct one.

The initial pioneers were mostly failures.

"Then I just need to avoid failing."

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Venerable Cheng Xuan chuckled.

"You're still a young man after all. I have over two hundred years left to live. I hope you can change your mind before I pass away. That way, while I'm still alive, I can help you plan your path to Nascent Formation."

"The principal will definitely be able to become a god."

Chen Mobai said something nice, Venerable Cheng Xuan burst into laughter.

After leaving the principal's office, Chen Mobai went to sit with Che Yucheng for a while.

Qin Beichen happened to be there as well. After Chen Mobai thanked him again, Qin Beichen took the opportunity to say goodbye, leaving the master and disciple alone.

"I will not interfere with your own choice, but I still have to advise you that the opportunity to take charge of the Wuqi Lineage is very rare."

As a teacher, Che Yucheng seemed to know the content and outcome of the conversation Venerable Cheng Xuan and Chen Mobai, and said something earnestly.

Chen Mobai: "The Dao Academy has countless talented people, but I am not qualified enough. If I were to take over, I am afraid I would not be able to win the respect of the people."

Che Yucheng: "As long as you are willing, the principal, I, and Senior Sister Duanmu will all support you."

Unbeknownst to many, Chen Mobai had become the future that everyone at the Wuqi Dao Academy had high hopes for.

They all believed that he could lead the Dao Academy to new heights, and even if he couldn't become the second Old Ancestor Bai Guang, at least with the resources of the Dao Academy, Nascent Formation would be no problem.

After all, in the history of the Immortal Sect, 99% of those who Core Formation by Enlightenment core without taking any elixirs Nascent Soul Formation Success.

The only exception was when he died outside the border during the World Opening War.

"Teacher, I'm not being modest, but I'm still young. Please let me relax for a few more years."

Chen Mobai could directly refuse others, but with Che Yucheng, he could only play the emotional card.

"Alright then, but you should first join the faculty of the Dao Academy. That way, you can start accumulating seniority tomorrow. If you want something easier, you can do Yu Yi and become the principal of an academy to get used to it."

The Little Yu"that Che Yucheng mentioned is none other than the True Person Scarlet Robe Yu Tianguang.

The Hundred and Twenty Mansions of the Immortal Sect are basically branches of the Daoist Academy. Vermillion Cinnabar Academy is one of the branch campuses of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

"Then how about I become the Vice Principal of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy?"

Chen Mobai was a homebody and didn't want to leave his hometown, so he offered a suggestion.

"That won't do. An academy can only have one Golden Core True Person at most. Educational resources cannot be wasted."

Che Yucheng shook his head, then recounted that there was still a vacancy in the Hundred and Twenty Mansions for Golden Core True Person to oversee the university.

It just so happens that there is a Green Mulberry Academy in Yumu City next to Vermilion Cloud City. It is jointly run by the Wuqi Dao Academy and Goumang Dao Academy. Although the current Acting Principal is from the Goumang Dao Academy, he would definitely be willing to step down and give way if Chen Mobai went there.

Chen Mobai knew that there were no Golden Core True Person cultivators in Yumu City. If he wanted to clean up his Talisman Paper business and expand it, it would be necessary for him to control the city.

"Let's go with the Green Mulberry Academy."
