Inside the classroom.
Chen Mobai sat near the window, his face full of gloom.
He nearly believed that he was about to change his fate. Consuming several tens of the blue carps which could increase the Water Spirit Root Attribute by 2 points each, he thought he could become a Heavenly Spiritual Root of the water attribute.
However, he forgot one thing: His “Auxiliary Cultivation” software detected fluctuations in his self-adaptive spiritual power after one day and returned to normal the next day.
The reality is rather harsh.
The power embodied in the blue carps could only last for a day.
That day he had eight in one go, which boosted his Water Attribute Spiritual Root to 39 points. The feeling of cultivation was something Chen Mobai had never experienced before.
The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was nearly twice as much as before. Apart from the enhancement of the Spirit Root Attribute, practicing on the Rank-2 water vein also contributed. The combination of these two factors almost led Chen Mobai to switch to the Blackwater Cultivation Technique.
Luckily, he has always been cautious in his actions, so he waited for a day.
And on the second day of his distrust, he used the Spiritual Power Test Paper again, only to find that his Water Spirit Root Attribute Points had fallen again.
Doubting the outcome, he returned to the Water Mansion that night and took five blue carps to make sashimi.
His Water Spirit Root Attribute Points soared once more and dropped again after a night of cultivation.
However, there was also good news: perhaps because Chen Mobai had eaten too much, the power of the blue carps did subtly strengthen his Spirit Root Attribute points.
After five days of gorging, nearly forty blue carps consumed, Chen Mobai’s Water Attribute Spirit Root Points fluctuated like a stock market graph, eventually stabilizing at 30 points and no longer increasing.
Of course, they no longer fell either.
All in all, Chen Mobai’s Water Attribute Spirit Root Points showed a permanent increase of 7 points.
[Name: Chen Mobai]
[Age: 18]
[Realm: Qi Cultivation Level Five]
[Spiritual Roots: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]
[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]
[Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique]
After opening the personal panel app on his phone, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and eventually changed his Water Attribute Spirit Root points back to 23 from 30 manually.
He had a feeling that it would be better not to let anyone else know about the Water Mansion matter.
Though there are no shortage of cultivation techniques and medicines that can improve the Spirit Roots in the Daoist Academy, there are very few that can instantly enhance Water Spirit Root Attributes. It is almost as effective as 20-30% of the Azure Dragon Carp from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.
For each Azure Dragon Carp consumed, a cultivator’s Spiritual Root Attribute can be permanently improved. The Kunpeng Daoist Institute had once used this to cultivate a water method alchemy genius with profound comprehension from an ordinary Water Spirit Root of 33 points to a Heavenly Spiritual Root of 80 points. This was widely promoted in the academy, and Chen Mobai had seen it on TV news every day when he was a child.
The blue carp from the Water Mansion may not be comparable to the Azure Dragon Carp, but the accumulated effects managed to increase Chen Mobai’s Water Spirit Root attribute by 7 points permanently. This is sure to make waves if it gets out.
This is because the Nascent Soul cultivator who regarded the Azure Dragon Carp as a precious resource has not been able to provide it for the past twenty years.
However, Chen Mobai is not fretting over this matter at the moment. He opened his “Auxiliary Cultivating” software and looked at the five halos above his avatar in the top right corner, falling into thought.
This happened last night when the “Agent” button on the Turtle Treasure software suddenly became active, and out of curiosity, he clicked on it.
Then, his “Auxiliary Cultivation” app changed.
He had five rings around his avatar.
Due to the scarcity of resources on the land, the inevitable wars of expansion occur every thousand years. To protect their homeland, there are thirty-six Tianshang satellites orbiting in the sky, forming a super-large formation.
In addition to these purposes, the thirty-six Tianshang satellites supply all network and communication needs for the Daoist Academy. Each satellite also has a super-brain, but most of their calculation power is used to draw in Cosmic Spiritual Qi, supplying it to thousands of households for the cultivation of three million cultivators.
Therefore, to avoid the waste of calculation power, the privileges of each Rank Cultivator on each app are different.
For example, Chen Mobai, being at the Qi Cultivation Level Five, could only use the most basic functions of every app on his phone.
Take the Auxiliary Cultivating app, for instance.
If Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would not only be able to use the “Auxiliary Cultivating” app to analyze recordings, but he could also apply to watch the Five Elements Cultivation instruction videos of Gold Core cultivators from the database. He could correct his own cultivation errors and understand the correct methods and various tips and tricks of Five Elements Cultivation.
The privileges of the Daoist Academy’s apps are represented by intuitive halos.
For instance, Qi Cultivation is Rank-1, so there would be one halo around the avatar.
Which brings us to the problem.
These five halos should represent Rank-5 privileges!
What realm does Rank-5 correspond to?
Chen Mobai calculated in his heart and took a deep breath of cold air.
Bloody hell, he’s reached the realm of a Divinity Transformation Supreme Master.
There are only two such Supreme Masters in the entire Daoist Academy.
Couldn’t this turtle shell agent be a bit more discreet? Rank-3 at Gold Core would have been fine. Why would it go straight to Rank-5, the maximum?
Just as Chen Mobai was feeling confused and scared, a few cultivators were also worried about the data that suddenly sent to them in one of the office rooms in the Repairing Heaven Institute.
“Could it be…one of the Supreme Masters has awakened? Manifesting in avatars and enjoying the game?”
The appearance of a Rank-5 user all of a sudden excited Stone, the creator of the Auxiliary Cultivation app. At the same time, though, he felt a little scared.
Both Supreme Masters had been in retreat for more than three hundred years without any movement, but his app was only developed two hundred years ago.
Although it had a five-tiered privilege system, it had only been perfected up to the third tier.
In fact, because Stone himself is only at the Golden Core Realm, any stages above that — the Nascent Soul cultivators are also only a dozen in the entire Daoist Academy. Moreover, since they spend decades in retreat, the only aid that could be provided in their cultivation from “Auxiliary Cultivating” would be the Divinity Transformation Supreme Masters’ cultivation videos and advice.
As long as none of the Divinity Transformation Supreme Masters upload their own content, the highest realm that the “Auxiliary Cultivating” software can assist with is the Golden Core.
So, when the first Rank-5 user appeared, Stone was both excited and scared.
“Check the location from the back-end, and then we’ll go on site to confirm who it is. It may be a hacker who has cracked the privileges of your software.”
The boss of the investor was very calm, his words soothing the worried cultivators planning to curry favor with the Supreme Masters.
