Even though he knew the success rate of Foundation Establishnt was very low, witnessing failure first-hand still gave Chen Mobai a trendous shock.
He still rembered the first ti he saw Wu Wan, holding a book, exuding an air of gentle elegance and treating others with the warmth of a spring breeze.
If it were not for the later attempt to orchestrate a trade to generate points, Chen Mobai would have had a very good first impression of him.
“Are you here to sell gold?”
“Yes, look at these, how much can they be sold for?”
Chen Mobai didn’t ask about Wu Wan’s failure in Foundation Establishnt. As soon as the latter spoke, he imdiately placed the forty gold bars he had exchanged from the Five Elents Silver Shop at the Southstream Market onto the table.
“Wait a mont, I need to get a scale.”
Wu Wan lightly coughed and took down a Magic Artifact scale from a shelf, specifically designed to asure gold weight and purity.
Because the gold used for trade among cultivators in the Tianhe Realm was all refined with spiritual power, there were absolutely no issues in terms of purity.
“The price of gold has risen a bit recently, these are valued at 4300 Good Deed Points, is that acceptable?”
!!..
“No problem, let’s go with this price.
Chen Mobai nodded, and the two quickly completed the trade.
“Do you sell the needle box?”
After Wu Wan had made the account, he suddenly asked another question.
“No, I’m using it myself.”
“If there are future Magic Artifact appraisals, you can co to again, I’ll
give you a discount.”
“Alright.”
After agreeing, Chen Mobai bid his farewell and left Wu’s Gold Shop.
He wondered if Wu Wan could cultivate to the state of Qi Cultivation Perfection again before he turned 60. If he could, there’s no doubt that Wu Wan wouldn’t give up the chance to attempt Foundation Establishnt again.
Many cultivators of the immortal sects do not consider marriage before the age of 60, all for the sake of achieving Foundation Establishnt.
Take Chen Mobai’s grandparents for example, both of them attempted Foundation Establishnt twice before they turned 60, and only after passing the pri of their life did they start considering the continuity of family lineage, forming a family. For this reason, after they had given birth to Chen Xinglan and his two siblings, these two elders who had depleted their life essence prematurely passed away when Chen Mobai was still very young.
This forms one of the two mainstream factions within the sect of immortality. One believes that being trapped by sentint will undoubtedly lead to a failed path of immortality. The other side advocates that only by caring for the world can one achieve the Way of God Transformation, transcending the mundane
world.
Chen Mobai has seen debates between cultivators of both factions on nurous forums and has pondered over this questioning on his own.
If it’s possible, he would naturally wish to focus on cultivation, indifferent to the mundane issues of the world. But if he has to abandon family and friends and leave behind feelings to achieve Foundation Establishnt, he will
definitely refuse.
At this mont, how he wished he had a ntor to help dispel the doubts in
his heart.
Unknowingly, he had already returned ho.
Upon looking up, he saw the Evergreen Pharmacy.
He couldn’t help but give a wry smile. After selling the gold, he now has a balance of over 6,000 Good Deed Points in his card, which is just enough to buy another batch of dicine ingredients for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.
But to avoid drawing attention from the monitoring departnt of the immortal sect by trading too much gold, he has been planning to investigate the dicinal material market in the Tianhe Realm to see if he can purchase the three main dicinal materials there.
The four supplentary dicines are all industrial raw materials that can only be produced here in Di Yuan Star. Fortunately, the prices are cheap, and they are not just needed for concocting dicine, so buying a bit more should not be an issue.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai didn’t afford further thought to the matter.
The only reality is the improvent of his own cultivation level. As long as there is an ample supply of Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water refined by Qing Nu, he, who has already cultivated a divine sense, can advance to the seventh stage of Qi Cultivation before the entrance exam of the four major Daoist Academies.
He walked into the Evergreen Pharmacy and waited for a while.
But Qing Nu hadn’t shown up.
Huh?
Has the small formation that notifies them in the back yard malfunctioned? Having waited for a while longer and still seeing no sign of her, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but call out.
“Is anyone there!”
After calling out three tis, a tall, high-nosed, deep eyed, old man in a purple robe walked out just as Chen Mobai was about to call Qing Nu. The old man gave him an annoyed look.
■■Why are you making such a fuss? Won’t you let a person take a midday nap!”
“Um, may I ask if you are Elder Gu? I’m a friend of Qing Nu.
Qing Nu had once ntioned her teacher’s na to Chen Mobai. Out of respect for the Foundation Establishnt senior, he rembered it clearly and asked after a polite greeting.
“From now on, don’t co here looking for her. I’ve already cast her out of my tutelage!”
“What!”
Chen Mobai’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe it.
“Elder Gu, what do you an by this? What has happened to Qing Nu?”
“From the sound of your voice, it seems I do rember. You are the young boss who provides for my unworthy apprentice to concoct her pills. Hmph, it is one thing for that wretch to make you a scapegoat, but she shouldn’t be practicing on my dicine pool. Having committed such a taboo, being cast out of my tutelage is nothing! If this had happened in the past, I would have destroyed her cultivation level!”
“just because of that, you have such a feudalists and stubborn way of thinking!”
Hearing Gu Changfeng’s words, Chen Mobai’s voice instinctively rose in defense of Qing Nu.
-What audacity for a young man, daring to speak to in that manner.” Gu Changfeng was furious. As a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, his powerful spiritual power burst out, causing Chen Mobai difficulty in breathing, his legs weakened, nearly bringing him to his knees.
Under the invisible heavy pressure, the anger in Chen Mobai’s heart gradually faded and clarity erged in his mind. He couldn’t help but speak.
“Elder Gu, Qing Nu used your dicine pool to concoct pills simply because she was commissioned by . If you are angry, I can compensate you for your losses, even help you rebuild a brand new dicine pool. Qing Nu is innocent, casting her out of your tutelage, I will live in guilt for the rest of my life.” “Quite the bold statent, do you know how many Good Deed Points the smallest of dicine pools cost?”
“I don’t know, please instruct, I may not have that many Good Deed Points for the ti being, but I certainly won’t deny the debt.”
“The dicine pool in my store, rank-2 lower-grade, eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.”
“I don’t have that much now, but the mont I gather enough, I will definitely give it to you, asking only for you to change your decision.”
Hearing these words, Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. Unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, he had already retracted his spiritual pressure, Chen Mobai was able to breathe freely again.
“It’s too late, I’ve already cancelled her apprentice registration at the Ministry of Education’s Hall of Heritage, she is no longer my apprentice.”
Having said that, he waved his sleeve and a strong burst of spiritual power pushed Chen Mobai out of the pharmacy.
“Don’t co back again, you’re not welco here.
“Then can you tell where I can find Qing Nu?
Bang!
He was answered with a heavy slamming of the door.
Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t break open a door sealed by a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, so he could only turn around and head to the place where he rembered Qing Nu lived.
He rembered where Qing Nu got off the bus when they went to see the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe. It was two stops away from here, and which he was too impatient to wait for the bus for, so he directly used the Propulsion Technique to hurry along.
Inside the pharmacy, Gu Changfeng watched Chen Mobai’s rushing figure leave, his face filled with silence. He turned his head and looked at a sapphire black-lettered jade card placed on the counter.
