Chapter 76: True Monarch of the First Elent_l
Translator: 549690339
After Yan Bingxuan finished demonstrating the spell, she casually took a cup of coffee and left.
Chen Mobai walked her to the door of the Cultivation Gymnasium, and thinking the two hours shouldn’t be wasted, he returned to the “Spells Chamber”. Following her instructional points, he started practicing the Cold Ice Technique.
Thanks to Yan Bingxuan’s transferred Spiritual Power and personal experience, he had figured out how to transform his Five Elents Cultivation spiritual power into Ice Spirit Power. The only issue now was to capture that split second when the Ice Spirit Power takes form.
Even though he understood the trick, it would still require continuous and tireless practice to be able to spit out an Ice Breath at the exact mont when it has or hasn’t ford.
Releasing it too quickly would result in frostbite to the twelve-story building, releasing it too slowly wouldn’t produce the intended freezing effect.
After more than an hour of hard practice, Chen Mobai returned ho, feeling his throat raspy and hoarse, almost unable to speak a word.
He bought a dozen bottles of pear syrup from a big pharmacy on the way ho, and once ho, drank half a bottle with warm water. By the next day, his throat finally felt a bit better.
Stepping out, he indeed found a huge package waiting for him.
The Shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman store had sent it via express delivery within the sa city. Upon opening it, Chen Mobai saw four or five hundred talismans sorted by various types and ticulously placed in clear plastic boxes. He couldn’t help but admire the shopkeeper’s careful handling. He placed the lower and interdiate-grade talismans in his backpack, then carefully put the eleven Rank-1 high-grade talismans in the inner chest pocket of his retro-styled costu.
Finally, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the only talisman sealed in plastic.
Rank-2 lower grade, Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman!
Just this talisman alone cost him 50,000 Good Deed Points, the most expensive thing he has ever bought since becoming rich.
He opened the user guide that the shopkeeper had included as a gift, carefully reading every word.
The way the “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman” was activated was no different from ordinary talismans, it just consud a little more spiritual power for Qi Practitioners. The shopkeeper had done so experints, revealing that a Rank-7 Qi practitioner firing up this talisman would approximately drain nearly half of their inner spiritual power.
Chen Mobai already knew this, as it was ntioned in the product description.
Just to be on the safe side, he also bought five Resurrection Talismans so he wouldn’t have to worry about running out of spiritual power during a Magic Duel and beco vulnerable.
After carefully putting the plastic sealed “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman” in his sleeve pocket, Chen Mobai’s sense of security greatly improved.
He called his mother, telling her that he had got a monthly pass at the Cultivation Gymnasium, and that he would be spending a lot of ti there training in spells with other progressive students.
Tang Panchui knew that the Daoist Academy’s entrance exam this year was a Magic Duel, naturally, she strongly supported her son’s decision and transferred 1000 Good Deed Points to him, telling him not to keep a tight rein on this.
Chen Mobai promptly refused, knowing that the family was currently on a tight budget. He told his mother that the gym mbership covered food and lodging as well as bathing, and there was no need for additional Good Deed Points expenditure.
With everything ready, he teleported himself to the Tianhe Realm along with his backpack full of talismans and spiritual dicine.
As the silvery light flickered, Chen Mobai opened his eyes to see the familiar wooden walls surrounding him and he let out a relief sigh.
As expected, the Turtle Treasure operated just as he had previously tested, teleporting would anchor to the last departure point. Although the rules were simple, this was the first ti Chen Mobai had teleported back from a crowded place. He was a little nervous, afraid he might attract attention.
Chen Mobai stepped outside to look around and found that he was still the only resident in this inexpensive low-lying feng shui treasure land. His worries were eased.
In the following days, Chen Mobai practiced the Cold Ice Technique, sold charms on Green Light Island, and inquired about which monsters in the Yun ng Ze were best suited for him to practice combat on.
Thanks to the cultivators’ appraisal abilities for charms here, his business was thriving.
Rank-1 lower-grade talismans, which are sold for 200 gold in the Southstream Market, could be sold for 300 here; Rank-1 interdiate-grade Green Arrow and Wood Armor Talismans could also be sold for 2000 gold here.
As for higher-grade talismans of Rank-1, he temporarily had no intention of selling them.
After all, doing too good of a business had already attracted so attention from his peers in the market. He planned to first grow his business in the lower and mid-level market. These talismans were traded with gold, which most of the well-connected Qi Practitioners hardly bothered earning due to their small profit margins.
While running his stand, Chen Mobai wrote down the na and price of each talisman on a piece of cloth and placed it in front of him as he sat on a small wooden stool. When custors ca to ask for the price, he simply pointed at the cloth and then gestured at his own throat, coughing twice, indicating that he had lost his voice due to an injured throat.
In this way, he drank pear syrup to treat his frozen throat while reading the book “Chronicle of Dragon Suppression in Yun ng River by the True Monarch of Origin” that Lu Shu had given him.
This tiny book was specially made to kill ti.
It was about the last Cultivator in Tianhe Realm who ascended to the Upper Realm in the last ten thousand years, “True Monarch of the Origin”, who reached perfection in the process of Spirit Transformation.
The calendar of the Immortal Cultivation world in the Tianhe Realm is currently based on “the Era of the Origin”.
The year when the True Monarch of the Origin ascended was taken as the first year of the Era of the Origin, which was exactly 64.78 years from now. Before this True Monarch, the Yun ng Ze was not the thousands of water ponds as it is now, but continuous mountains, which were known as “Yun ng River”, nearly a Rank-6 Spiritual Land.
Back then, a Rank-5 monster, a Yellow Dragon, occupied the Yun ng River. This monster not only possessed the bloodline of the real dragon but was also of the Deity Transformation Level. Even Deity Transcending Cultivators of the sa realm would often be defeated by it.
While practicing Qi Cultivation, the True Monarch of the Origin once practiced in Yun ng River. He witnessed the human beings here being enslaved and abused by the monsters, beca enraged, and fought back, but was heavily wounded and lucky enough to fall into the ruins left by the ancient cultivators, where he found a great opportunity.
One thousand years later, after achieving Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, the True Monarch of the Origin single-handedly charged into the Yun ng River before his Ascendance.
After slaying eighteen Rank-4 Nascent Soul Level monsters, he engaged in a seven-day-and-night battle with the Yellow Dragon Monster, which shattered the Yun ng River into thousands of water ponds. He then exhausted a great amount of Elental Energy to use a heaven-defying Immortal Technique to subdue this Rank-5 monster, and finally rode the dragon to ascend.
The small book Lu Shu gave to Chen Mobai narrated this story.
Having finished reading it, Chen Mobai was left with one thought.
He absolutely could not let Tianhe Realm know about the existence of the earth elent star.
Although several Deity Transcending ancestors had erged in the history of Earth’s Elent Star, none of them had a detailed record of ascending. At most, they reached the pinnacle of their cultivation and went to explore the boundless Vast Starry Sky.
In comparison, although there were two Deity Transcending ancestors in the School of Immortal Cultivation, the overall strength of School of Immortal Cultivation might not be as good as Tianhe Realm.
Unfortunately, the market lacked books introducing the Immortal Cultivation world outside of the Eastern Wilderness. It was said that only the seven major sects and large trade unions had such books. Chen Mobai could only lant that the transmission of information in this world was far too backward.
If this were the Earth’s Elental Star, he could know how high the sky was, how thick the earth was, and how many territorial areas there were in the School of Immortal Cultivation with a click of his fingers..
