Chapter 407: Chapter 303: The Method of Obtaining Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine in the Immortal Sect_1

Spring Festival holiday.

Chen Mobai was drawing symbols at home while guiding his younger sister in her cultivation.

Wang Xinying listened to her brother. After her breakthrough to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, she didn’t switch to another cultivation technique, but focused on the Five Elements Cultivation instead.

Although her initial Spirit Root Attributes were better than Chen Mobai’s, when compared to the whole Xianmen community, it was just above average. She shouldn’t decide on her main cultivation technique too early, it can be considered after enrolling in university.

Furthermore, Five Elements Cultivation can adapt and transform into any other cultivation technique, meaning there is no problem even with Foundation Establishment.

With his insight as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, guiding Wang Xinying was easy. She benefitted enormously, noticing various nuances in practicing cultivation that she had overlooked before.

Especially the simulation of the Spiritual Power Vortex that prefigures the formation of Condensing Qi into Liquid, Wang Xinying had always been vaguely enlighted, but this time, Chen Mobai projected his Divine Sense into her body, guiding her Spiritual Power circulation meticulously.

By practicing this way, Wang Xinying suddenly saw the light.

So, that’s how it was.

By the end of the holiday, when Chen Mobai left, though Wang Xinying hadn’t advanced her realm, her comprehension of her cultivation technique had improved by two levels. She felt confident about breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation before her college entrance examination.

This made her at least a guaranteed candidate for the Top Ten Palace Universities.

Returning to Crimson City Cave Sky, Chen Mobai registered for his courses as he did last year, simultaneously cultivating the Technique of Drawing Talismans and scouting for a new secretary for the Student Council.

Although Hua Zijing was still handling various chores, since it was her final year, she concentrated primarily on sending out her resume and preparing for the civil servant examination.

Civil service is the most coveted job in Xianmen.

For no other reason, serving for 120 years entitles you to a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.

If you receive high praise for serving the people and make significant achievements during your service, you can shorten this period.

At minimum, it can be reduced by half, that is, sixty years.

Like Gongye Zhixu and Lan Haitian, they benefitted the people in their political career, made numerous contributions, and obtained their Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill within the shortest sixty years.

Xianmen’s most humane policy is its inheritance system.

Because a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s lifespan is only four Jiazi, two hundred and forty years.

According to the sixty years tenure theory, it is best to reach Core Formation before the age of 144, when your energy is at its peak and the success rate is highest.

Ordinary civil servants who have worked for a hundred and twenty years, even if they exchange for a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, will have missed the prime age for Core Formation, causing them to lose motivation.

Therefore, Xianmen has a law that allows civil servants to pass half of their service years to their direct descendants.

For example, a Foundation Establishment civil servant who has worked for a hundred years before retirement, even if they haven’t reached the qualifications to exchange for Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, can save these years. If a direct descendant also becomes a civil servant, and has reached Foundation Establishment, they can inherit half of the elder’s saved years.

Because of this system in Xianmen, the first choice of elite talents graduating from the Four Great Daoist Academies and the Top Ten Palace Universities is to prepare for the civil servant examination.

Zuo Qiushi passed the civil servant examination during his graduation year, so he didn’t hesitate to give up the post of Student Council president to Chen Mobai, a deserving candidate.

But because of this, Xianmen’s civil service exam is fiercely competitive.

Even if you pass the exam, if there are no openings in the various departments of the Three Halls, you won’t get smoothly through the interview and induction.

Zuo Qiushi’s success was mainly because he had the advantage of being a president of the student council of Dance Tool Dao Academy and his own merits, as well as the efforts of his teacher Duanmu Longrong and some people in the Daoist Academy, he managed to smoothly fill the vacancy in the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Although Xianmen claims to treat everyone as equals and only evaluates based on achievements and abilities, Zuo Qiushi, as one of the prominent figures among the Four Great Daoist Academies, represents one of the top talents among countless peers in Xianmen.

Such an individual willing to become a servant of the people would naturally be given priority for recruitment by the upper levels of Xianmen.

Although Hua Zijing is not as good as Zuo Qiushi, she is still a genius just below him. With proper lobbying, she might become a glorious civil servant like Zuo Qiushi.

Compared to her, Chen Mobai has it much easier.

If he wishes, he could directly fill a vacancy in the Heaven Group, taking over the position left by Lan Haitian.

Since the Heaven Group is the most dangerous civil service in Xianmen, it’s easier to make significant contributions, reducing the years of service required to obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill to the minimum 60 years.

Even if he doesn’t want to take the risk, he could follow Zuo Qiushi’s example and let his teacher, Che Yucheng, wheel and deal a bit to secure a position as a servant of the people in one of Xianmen’s regular departments, govern an area, and slog through the years of service.

He’s still young and has an extra Jiazi lifespan owing to the longevity technique. Even a hundred and twenty years later, he wouldn’t be past his prime.

But Chen Mobai feels such a move would be a waste of time.

Xianmen’s peaceful environment is fine, and most True Cultivators at Foundation Establishment are willing to wait for a hundred years for the highest probability of a Core Formation opportunity.

But in the Tianhe Realm, crises lurk everywhere. Though he isn’t sure of the what the higher ups in the Divine Wood Sect are scheming, last year’s deficit in the Spirit Stone Mine of Lei Nation made Chen Mobai, who always had a keen sense of political perception, notice something off.
