Chapter 400: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_1

After exhausting an entire day, Chen Mobai’s eyes had turned red from inspecting every single one of the 16 Device Nurturing Spheres.

However, his effort was rewarded.

Seeing the additional 86 credits deposited into his students’ account, Chen Mobai rubbed his sore, tearful eyes and dropped a couple drops of freshly made Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew into them.

After producing a considerable amount of this spiritual water, along with the effects of the Spiritual Extract, Wang Xingyu had already mastered the art of concocting it.

Just as Chen Mobai was closing his eyes to rest, a brilliant, flaming red light shone from outside the window, reminiscent of the brilliant fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

This was the scene of one of the true cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level, after identifying the Magic Artifact within the Device Nurturing Sphere, couldn’t wait to activate it.

Chen Mobai turned his chair in the direction of the window, enjoying the annual spectacle within the Treasure Trove.

“The Divine Wind Sword! It really is the Divine Wind Sword, hahaha…”

A chilling sword Qi roared into the sky and along with the green light that coiled like a dragon, transformed into a clear, water-like flying sword, held in the palm of a puny-looking youth.

He was a tenth grader from the Sword Control Department, known as Zou Siliang. Since his admission, he had diligently practiced swordsmanship, saving up credits for ten long years, all for the purpose of acquiring a decent sword.

The Device Piece given to him by the academy upon reaching the Foundation Establishment level turned into an Iron Wing Staff due to his lack of experience at the time.

Later, he saved up a hundred credits to exchange for another Device Piece. He sought advice from Mingyu Palm Eye. Unfortunately, at that time, the latter had just started studying the Art of Spiritual Eyes. Although he saw it was long in shape, he still accidentally activated a Suppression Ruler.

This year, Zou Siliang had once again accumulated enough credits. After exchanging for another Device Piece and still having some leftover, he directly brought five Device Nurturing Spheres to ask Chen Mobai for help in inspecting them.

What’s more, after two previous disappointments, the Device Nurturing Spheres he collected this time surprisingly contained three flying swords, a stick, and a hook-shaped magic artifact.

After Chen Mobai finished inspecting them, Zou Siliang spent another 2 credits to consult the Map of Treasures, indirectly also generating revenue for the student council.

All three flying swords were listed on the Map of Treasures. Among them, this Divine Wind Sword was ranked the highest, being the life-bound flying sword of a genius swordsman from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who had the wind Spiritual Root.

This genius swordsman had attempted Core Formation twice, and although he failed both attempts, his Divine Wind Sword was still considered top-notch among Rank-2 artifacts.

Zou Siliang’s validation of Chen Mobai’s keen eyes instantly convinced the remaining hesitant cultivators to make their decision.

One after another, the Fire Godlight lit up, revealing magic artifacts exuding radiant spiritual light and interwoven with spiritual patterns.

The Red Phoenix Shield…

The Purple Mu Robe…

The Tornado Spear…

The Qing Ruyi…

The Wind Breaking Ring…

The No Light Cover…

The Thousand Sounds Fan…

The cultivators on the square who recognized the origins of the Magic Artifacts each called out the names of the Magic Artifacts that emerged from the Device Nurturing Spheres, their voices full of envy.

These were mostly upper-tier Rank-2 artifacts, and one of them was, like the Divine Wind Sword, a top-tier Rank-2 artifact.

Only that Qing Ruyi was of intermediate quality within Rank-2, but it was also due to the choice of the Device Piece’s owner. This senior, named Ren Yuanjun, needed an artifact to nourish his Purple Palace because he encountered problems with his Divine Consciousness while practicing a certain Art of Divine Consciousness.

However, his Device Nurturing Sphere did not contain such an artifact. Fortunately, the Qing Ruyi was present in a Device Nurturing Sphere that Chen Mobai had identified earlier.

In line with the principle of providing full service, Chen Mobai called back the female student who owned the Qing Ruyi, explained the situation, and the latter very understandingly gave her Device Nurturing Sphere, which sealed the Qing Ruyi, to Ren Yuanjun for a nominal exchange of ten thousand Good Deed Points.

Because this student was certain that she would activate a Rank-2 upper-grade Purple Mu Robe, she would never activate the Qing Ruyi in her lifetime.

However, the reality was that Chen Mobai’s reputation was vast indeed. Otherwise, anyone else desperately in need of the Qing Ruyi would probably have to pay a hefty transfer fee.

This matter, following the activation of the Qing Ruyi, was soon spread by Ren Yuanjun. In no time, that female student earned a reputation for generosity and goodwill.

Moreover, besides the label of being invincible in magic duels, Chen Mobai also added the new image of being enthusiastic, kind-hearted, and helpful.

A myriad of magical artifacts bathed in radiant light rose into the sky once the red divine light faded, held in the hands of the overjoyed Foundation Establishment cultivators, weaving a stunning spectacle of spiritual light fireworks—utterly brilliant and beautiful.

Meanwhile, the seven cultivators who hadn’t activated their Device Nurturing Spheres even after identification all looked at them with longing eyes.

After Chen Mobai had examined the Device Nurturing Spheres they brought with his Void Spirit Eye, he realized that the artifacts sealed within were not what they wanted nor suited them. Therefore, they still held on to their Device Pieces, waiting until they found suitable Device Nurturing Spheres before coming back for identification.

However, regardless of whether or not they activated the spheres, Chen Mobai had already earned his credits.

When the riotous celebration in the square finally subsided, Chen Mobai greeted Hua Zijing before leaving the Treasure Trove, finding Luo Hezheng to exchange for two Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.

“Don’t advance your cultivation too quickly. With your talent, you’re practically guaranteed to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. A steady foundation will increase your chances of successful Core Formation.” warned Luo Hezheng seriously, as he exchanged a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir with Chen Mobai.

“Yes, thank you for the reminder, Teacher Luo.”

Even though he said that, Chen Mobai didn’t take it to heart.

Within the immortal path, both the Steady Foundation Faction, and the Realm Supremacy Faction have stoked numerous debates throughout cultivation’s long history.
