Qing Nu, however, did not return. She was at the Jumang Daoist Academy with her mentor, involved in the development of a Rank-3 Spiritual Water pond and could not leave.
At first, Chen Mobai thought that he and she would have nothing to discuss, but as they were chatting, he noticed that it had unexpectedly become late.
From discussing their cultivation levels to their schoolwork, they eventually spoke of their own circumstances.
Chen Mobai boasted over the phone about his talent in puppetry and agricultural studies, and talked about how his progress in runes was lagging due to lack of energy.
He also mentioned how after taking the Fire Clearing Pill she had crafted, his Divine Sense had greatly improved and his Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique had reached completion. Feeling grateful for this, he thanked Qing Nu over the phone.
In the end, Chen Mobai even admitted that he had tried to comprehend a certain technique, but had gained nothing from it.
“That technique, huh! It’s indeed a bit difficult to cultivate.”
Qing Nu echoed him on the other side of the call, but Chen Mobai knew she was just trying to comfort him, knowing well that among the four Great Dao Academies, almost 80 to 90% of the students have mastered this technique.
With Qing Nu’s Blue Female Celestial Spirit talent, even if she didn’t master the technique, it would be effortless for her to establish a foundation.
“Oh, it’s so late. You should go to sleep, we can continue the chat when we’re free.”
At this time, Chen Mobai glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was past 3 in the morning.
“By the way, I have a small gift for you, remember to check it.”
Qing Nu suddenly said this sentence before hanging up the call.
Chen Mobai didn’t think much about it then, but after waiting a few days without receiving anything,
He remembered that he had not told Qing Nu that he was in Green Mountain Village; she may have sent it to his home in Danxia City.
Just as Chen Mobai planned to call Qing Nu that night, he received a call from a strange number.
“Where are you?”
The voice on the phone was somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a while, Chen Mobai realized who it was.
“Kong Feichen?”
“Yes, it’s me. My sister asked me to bring a package for you, I’m downstairs at your house.”
Chen Mobai remembered that Kong Feichen had gone to the Imperial Medical Academy, which was located in the same place as the Jumang Daoist Academy.
He didn’t expect Kong Feichen to come back when Qing Nu had not.
He wondered if Yang Jing had returned.
“I’m not home, I’m farming in the countryside.”
“I need to give you this thing personally or I won’t be at ease. Send me your location.”
Kong Feichen didn’t seem very happy, and Chen Mobai felt bad about him having to drive all the way from Danxia City to his current place.
“Why don’t you wait for me at the Red Dawn Institution, I’ll come to you.”
In the end, the two agreed on a place to meet.
Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled, wondering why the object required face-to-face delivery. Couldn’t it just be sent by mail?
“Here.”
At the entrance of the Red Dawn Institution, Kong Feichen handed a well-packaged box to Chen Mobai.
“Can I open it now?”
“Whatever.”
Kong Feichen rolled his eyes. Chen Mobai felt he was a bit upset, but he couldn’t help his excitement as he unraveled the small gift from Qing Nu.
Inside, he found a book and a bottle of medicine.
“What’s this?”
Chen Mobai picked up the book and saw that it had no title. Opening it, there was content inside. He skimmed through it, and it seemed to be a cultivation technique for improving Divine Sense.
“Divine Manipulation Technique, Soul Awakening Dao Pill!”
Kong Feichen mentioned two terms which Chen Mobai had never heard of before.
“The package has arrived at your hands, I have to go, so I will take my leave now.”
“Since we have met after a long time, how about I treat you to a meal?”
Chen Mobai felt a bit guilty, after all, for this package, Kong Feichen had to come back from the Linwu Cave and travel from Danxia City to the Red Dawn Institution, surely it was quite troublesome.
“No need.”
Kong Feichen rejected the offer and left immediately.
After returning to Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai first checked out the Cultivation Technique “Divine Manipulation” in the National Library of the Immortal Gate, learning about its origins.
It indeed was a cultivation technique that improves Divine Sense, and seemed to have been specially selected for him.
Not only could it stabilize his rapidly increased Divine Sense, but it could also seamlessly connect with the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.
If mastered, it is said to bring about an out-of-body state of Divine Sense, even before the establishment of the foundation.
This technique was available on the National Library, but only Rank-3 users could download it.
Chen Mobai did not know where Qing Nu got it from, but since she could hand it over to him, there must be no restrictions of Dao Heart pledge, it may be issued by the Jumang Daoist Academy.
Still a bit anxious, he checked it again on the auxiliary cultivation app.
Then, he found the problem.
The title of a post read “Divine Manipulation Technique: An improved version of the Devour God Technique, it has been experimented and proven to increase the successful rate of foundation establishment, should it be promoted widely?”
This was an improved version of a forbidden technique.
Chen Mobai thought of Qing Nu’s teacher and thought of Lan Haitian.
However, after he was accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Lan Haitian seemed to have completely forgotten about assigning Chen Mobai the task of observing Qing Nu.
Although the Divine Manipulation Technique suits him quite well, knowing it might involve a forbidden technique made Chen Mobai uncertain whether he should cultivate it.
In the end, he decided to put it aside and wait until the next semester when he returns to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to ask Che Yucheng about it.
He then picked up the bottle of pills, which contained only one pill.
Kong Feichen had said it was the “Soul Awakening Dao Pill.”
Chen Mobai searched for it online, and although the information was limited, he still found out about its origins.
It turned out to be a Rank-2 Spirit Pill that can stimulate a lucid state of mind for a day after consumption.
In this state, the efficiency of practicing techniques or learning knowledge could be significantly enhanced. Even the most obtuse person would have deep understanding and clarity.
Just like having a spiritual awakening or attaining enlightenment.
Therefore it is called the “Soul Awakening Dao Pill.”
This spirit pill was exclusive to the Jumang Daoist Academy and could only be exchanged using academic points. One pill cost 15 academic points, making it as precious as the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
“The gift you sent me is too precious.”
After understanding the origins of the “Soul Awakening Dao Pill,” Chen Mobai felt guilty. He called Qing Nu to see if he could return it.
“Once exchanged, this thing can’t be returned. If you don’t want it, then I’ll have to give it to my younger brother.”
Qing Nu’s younger brother? Kong Feichen?
Then I might as well keep it for myself.
With this thought, Chen Mobai didn’t refuse any further.
But at that moment, he finally understood why Kong Feichen was a bit upset with him.
“How about I also send you a small gift?”
Eventually, Chen Mobai still felt that the gift from Qing Nu was too precious and felt obliged to respond with a gift of his own.
“Sure, my dorm address in school is…”
Qing Nu cheerfully gave him her dormitory number. They chatted a bit more before Chen Mobai reluctantly hung up the phone.
He took out all the items he had in his storage bag, figuring out which one was suitable for a girl and should also be of reasonable value.
In the end, he chose the pair of white jade bells..
