Chapter 1116: Chapter 614 Joyful Times_2 Chapter 1116: Chapter 614 Joyful Times_2 It wasn’t the affairs of the household, the nation, or the world that the two Golden Core Masters discussed, but rather the path to Nascent Soul Formation at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
Chen Mobai: “In that case, Vice Principal Duanmu is also preparing for Nascent Soul Formation.”
Wang Shuye: “Indeed, after waiting for three hundred years and using the Hugging Elixir Technique to lock in her peak essence and spirit, all for that Vermillion Fruit and Infant-Feeding Pill, I hope she succeeds. It would also blaze a trail for me.”
The Dance Tool Dao Academy offered two paths to Nascent Soul Formation. One was the path Duanmu Longrong took: Guarding the Treasure Trove for three hundred years in exchange for a fifth-order Vermillion Fruit and an Infant-Feeding Elixir.
The other path was like Wang Shuye’s, representing the academy in one of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen, advocating for the academy, and serving the people in exchange for the three Nascent Soul Spirit Medicines, just like Gongye Zhixu.
The only difference was that while guarding the Treasure Trove for three hundred years guaranteed the attainment of Spiritual Objects necessary for Nascent Soul, including an additional Vermillion Fruit which was equivalent to the foundation of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
But serving in the Immortal Sect didn’t necessarily ensure acquisition.
Among the Immortal Sect, the order for distributing the Nascent Soul Spirit Medicine started with the Deputy Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls. Although Wang Shuye was the face of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was only ninth in rank among the entire Three Great Halls.
To obtain the Nascent Soul Spirit Medicine, it would not only take negotiations with the top ascendants but also for the eight people ahead of him to receive their share before it was his turn.
However, Wang Shuye’s nearly two hundred years of waiting since graduating from the academy and taking public office had long solidified tacit agreements with all relevant personages within the Three Great Halls.
If the refining of the Infant-Feeding Pill succeeded without any surprises, he was likely to receive one.
It was for this reason he wanted to observe Duanmu Longrong’s progress first, as she had reached the Perfection of Core Formation over a century ago and was considered one of the cultivators closest to the Nascent Soul stage within the Immortal Sect.
“I hope both Vice Principal Duanmu and Senior Wang succeed in their Nascent Soul Formation, strengthening the reputation of our Dao Academy.”
This sentiment expressed by Chen Mobai came from the heart. After all, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had enjoyed many conveniences it offered over the years and naturally hoped for more Nascent Soul Superiors within the academy, which would fortify his backing!
“After us two, the academy will have to select those who will take our places. I’ve heard from your teacher that he doesn’t seem too keen on guarding the Treasure Trove. What about you, any interest in taking over my position?”
Wang Shuye suddenly made a remark in a joking manner, which considerably stirred Chen Mobai’s heart.
The man before him held the highest position from the Dance Tool Dao Academy among the Three Great Halls of Xianmen, just one step away from becoming the Vice Hall Master of Kaiyuan Hall.
Chen Mobai knew he was serious because among the Core Formation successors of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was the most outstanding.
Giving him the opportunity of Nascent Soul would most likely result in a new Nascent Soul Superior for the academy.
Compared to sitting in quietude in the Cave of Ten Thousand Treasures for three hundred years, the proposal from Wang Shuye was far more alluring.
After all, it was the dream he had cherished since his childhood!
If planned properly, given his background, becoming a Vice Hall Master of the Three Great Halls would pose no problem in the future.
To go even further, a Hall Master of the Three Great Halls must be a Nascent Soul Superior, which is a mandatory requirement!
“I… will think about it when I return!”
This time, Chen Mobai did not immediately refuse.
After hearing this, Wang Shuye’s eyes brightened, seemingly pleased.
He then chatted with Chen Mobai about interesting gossip only known within the Three Great Halls, like how Gongye Zhixu had previously attempted Nascent Soul Formation and failed, though it was uncertain if he had taken the Infant-Feeding Elixir.
Ye Yune was the daughter of Beiming Ascendant but she detested it when people used that fact to talk about her, as if she wished to prove that she could become Kaiyuan Hall’s Vice Hall Master on her own merits.
Gongsun Jielu, after her battle in the Red Sandstone City, earned the chance to gain insight into the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and ten years since, she showed no sign of coming out of seclusion, hinting that she might have truly comprehended something.
If she succeeded in mastering the Immortal Sect Sword Art, then no one could contend with her for the position of Vice Hall Master of the Dharma Hall.
“By the way, aren’t you a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius yourself? If you take over my role, you’ll soon have the chance to access the Flying Immortal Pavilion and study its secrets. With your aptitude, you’ll definitely grasp the essence of the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and in the future, with Principal Chengxuan’s guidance, you could meet Ancestor Baiguang on Wangxian Peak. Perhaps, if she takes a liking to your swordsmanship talent, she may even take you as her direct disciple in high spirits!”
Wang Shuye’s words made Chen Mobai even more tempted.
Following this path, he could become one of the most powerful individuals in the Immortal Sect in the shortest period.
He might even receive personal instruction on the Primordial Spirit-accompanied Sword from Ancestor Baiguang and have the potential to achieve Divinity Transformation fueled by the Immortal Sect Sword Art!
But all of these predicates were contingent on him being a genuine Sword Cultivation Genius!
If I am indeed elevated by the influence of the Dance Tool Dao Academy to comprehend the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and yet come away with nothing, won’t it just expose the sham that is my Deity Form?
That would truly be a resounding downfall!
Thinking this, Chen Mobai came back to his senses and resisted the temptation, resolving in his heart to refuse.
Of course, he wouldn’t refuse on the spot, but after returning and completing his duty report in Yu Wood City, he would claim that after careful consideration, he preferred the feeling of being close to home and did not wish to serve.
After a long night’s discussion with Wang Shuye, Chen Mobai went to the Kaiyuan Hall the next day to report on his duties.
Having already notified them in advance, he merely went through the motions, though there was a rotating member of the Kaiyuan Hall who asked about the situation when he crossed swords with the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard. But as Chen Mobai was innocent, he had no reason to fear, and he told nothing but the truth.
Together with Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu, the three of them had joined forces, ultimately cutting down the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard with great difficulty using the Purple Electric Sword!
After he had finished recounting these events, there were no other questions, and Chen Mobai’s duty report passed easily.
“Respected Councilor Chen, you have seven days of vacation left in Wangwu Cave Heaven, please enjoy yourself.”
Since a Golden Core Master cannot easily leave their assigned realm, this decennial duty report becomes a great opportunity for them to socialize and invite friends.
Chen Mobai also had several friends in Wangwu Cave Heaven, mostly from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
After meeting with Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng, Chen Mobai made another trip to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
Zhongli Tianyu, who had long received the news, was waiting for him at the entrance.
Zhongli Yue, the Golden Core Master, personally cooked to entertain him, compelling Chen Mobai to join him for the feast.
After the meal, Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu took a walk around the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains and then visited Yuanyang View.
Sima Xingyu was still there, and upon seeing Chen Mobai, his face showed complexity; but in the end, he sighed and paid his respects.
“Councilor Chen, please come in!”
Chen Mobai was already well-acquainted with Yuanyang View, and this time he could touch those Fourth-grade Magical Weapons openly and legitimately, as if he was a disciple of Pure Yang paying homage to the Yuanyang Ancestor.
Alas, to reduce the demand on spiritual energy, these magical weapons were all sealed in the deepest slumber, and although Chen Mobai found their Artifact Spirits, he dared not awaken them.
After striking the bell and entering tranquility to clarify his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai left Yuanyang View feeling refreshed and at ease with Zhongli Tianyu.
Before departing, he took a look at Ancestor Baiguang’s Fairy Mountain but, unfortunately, this time there was no little girl named Xiao Hei.
With a sense of regret, Chen Mobai left the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
He spent most of his remaining time with Qing Women, seeking her expertise on alchemy.
Fortunately, Qing Women, not having many friends, had saved up a lot of vacation time.
And Lan Haitian, obviously knowing who she was going to meet, swiftly approved her leave request with his signature.
When with Chen Mobai, Qing Women felt the warmth of sunshine piercing into her desolate and numb heart, a sense of relaxation and joy she had never felt before, which made her wish that time could forever stand still at this moment.
Unfortunately, happy times are always brief.
On the last day, Qing Women personally saw Chen Mobai off on his departing train.
“Do you like riding trains?”
Chen Mobai was escorted by the service staff to a private VIP waiting room, but someone was already there waiting for him.
“It’s rare to have the chance to go out, naturally I want to breathe in more of the outside air. Trains are slow, so that’s why I chose this mode of transport,” replied Chen Mobai.
After these words, Lan Haitian nodded, as if he believed what he heard.
“This is Elder Yuanxu and Peach Blossom Sage’s research on Biyu Wutong, would you like to take a look?” asked Lan Haitian, holding a file in his hands.
Chen Mobai, seeing the document in Lan Haitian’s hand, firmly shook his head!
“No, I do not wish to!”
