Chen Mobai was conflicted.
Unquestionably, if Turtle Treasure were to manage his account at the National Library, the benefit to him would definitely exceed that of using the second-rate Auxiliary Cultivation software.
There’s a strict hierarchical system in immortality cultivation world; the higher your cultivation level, the more privileges you enjoy.
And the National Library, unarguably one of the core treasures of immortality cultivation world, houses 84,000 Taoist books, said to cover everything. As long as cultivators reach the necessary level, they can peruse corresponding cultivation experiences, cultivation techniques, and cultivation secrets.
Even the seven techniques that can be cultivated up to the Spirit Transformation Stage, handed down by the immortality cultivation world, are among them.
However, only those with Nascent Souls are allowed to access this portion.
While Chen Mobai understands that you should do as much as you can based on your ability, and he is just a Qi Practitioner at the sixth level, even if he could see the Spirit Transformation techniques, he would only be able to look at them rather than practice them.
But it’s in human nature to be curious.
If Turtle Treasure really achieves proxy success and raises his privileges to Rank 5, wouldn’t he be able to browse the full content of the National Library?
Although downloading the full text still requires points, even seeing the beginning of the Spirit Transformation Stage techniques would make him happy.
But he still had a sense of reason.
He felt that he needed to find a foolproof plan, ensuring that the Immortal Cultivation world wouldn’t tie him to the upgrade, before proceeding with the proxy.
Chen Mobai opened his user interface at the National Library, the account name was a line from an old poem that he found very cool as a child:
In the years to come, I shall become the Blue Emperor!
Looking at it now, it seemed a bit juvenile, but since only he knew about it, he had never bothered to change it over the years.
There was a small check mark after the account name, indicating that it had been verified through real-name authentication.
If this account were to be upgraded to a Rank-5 user, the immortality cultivation world would be at his door the same night, so he figured it was best to take things slow.
After calming down, Chen Mobai got up, packed up his things, and prepared to leave the Water Mansion.
Breaking through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation today was a joyful event. He couldn’t be greedy or excessive, and risk going from joy to sorrow.
He packed the tin foil box that originally contained the Purple Fire Pill, the now gray and depleted Spirit Stone, as well as his drink bottles and snack bags, planning to take them home for recycling.
He was about to press the return key on his phone when he saw the three side halls that had always been closed.
These days, he had indulged in cultivation, and almost forgot that there were three side halls in the Water Mansion.
Forget about the two side halls that were sealed by the Thunder Method Prohibition, the Water Wave Compound Restriction, could now certainly be attempted to break.
“I’ll buy more Green Arrow Talismans, and break it in the next few days.”
Chen Mobai murmured to himself, then vanished in a flash of silver light.
At school.
The teacher was lecturing, and most of the students, including Chen Mobai, were individually engrossed.
In Immortal Cultivation, one’s realm is of utmost importance.
After all, the higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan. Therefore, knowledge can completely be acquired when cultivation encounters bottlenecks.
The teachers also knew this, so they just taught without minding the students’ distractions.
Generally, teachers were either old and hopeless of reaching Foundation Establishment, like Ding Jinglue, or they wanted to revisit the four arts of Techniques, Pills, Instruments, and Arrays through teaching, while also earning some Good Deed Points. For instance, their class teacher Chai Deyun and array teacher Chanshi; the former had a cultivation bottleneck while the latter received a teaching task from Cinnabarite Institute. She was also studying array and deepened her foundation through teaching.
Chen Mobai was shopping online.
He had a great experience with the “Green Arrow Talisman” he bought last time. He placed another order at the same online shop.
This time, he was financially more capable. To ensure absolute security, he bought ten talismans at once. It cost him half of his savings, but he was not upset. After all, these Good Deed Points was something he got for nothing.
He also bought two more Wood Armor Talismans.
Spending money felt so good.
Moreover, Chen Mobai was incredibly lucky; he managed to snag two bottles of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water freshly put on sale by Jumang Daoist Academy. The Spirit Water was intermediate grade Rank-1 and could quickly fill up one’s cultivation level after breaking through a realm.
For instance, after Chen Mobai had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation, if he drew spiritual energy and practiced Five Elements Cultivation on his own, he would roughly need two years to reach Perfection in the sixth level and try to break through to the latter stage of Qi cultivation.
But if he took the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, this process could be significantly shortened.
According to the prescription, if one bottle was taken and cultivation was practiced in a place with ample spiritual energy, the efficiency of one day was the equivalent of ten days.
In other words, if Chen Mobai were to take this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water every day, he could reduce two years to 70 days and reach Perfection in the sixth-level Qi cultivation.
Many so-called young geniuses were nurtured by this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.
However, there were pros and cons.
Firstly, the price was high, costing 200 Good Deed Points per bottle.
Secondly, although taking the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water would shorten the cultivation time, the foundation would be naturally unstable. The time needed to break through the bottleneck would be far longer than that for those cultivators who take each step steadily.
The bottleneck of the minor realm was not so serious, but if it was the major threshold of Foundation Establishment, with a shallow foundation, failure was almost certain.
Chen Mobai initially didn’t plan to buy it, but after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation, he felt that if he worked hard, he might have a chance to promote to the seventh level of Qi cultivation before the college entrance examination.
The latter stage of Qi cultivation, that is a completely different story. It would basically guarantee him a place in one of the top ten universities. Even if the foundation was a little shallow, he could find ways to make up for it in the future.
Elder Qing Ping once said, realm comes first.
This Nascent Soul elder had experienced over 300 magic duels without a single loss in his cultivation life, and what he relied on was simply that his realm was higher.
When he was at Foundation Establishment, he fought Qi Practitioners; at Gold Core, he defeated those at Foundation Establishment; after reaching Nascent Soul, he only made moves on Gold Core cultivators, never confronting cultivators at the same realm.
Chen Mobai thought that Elder Qing Ping made a lot of sense.
In his fight at the Water Mansion, if he hadn’t been at the mid-stage of Qi cultivation while the old man was at the third level of Qi cultivation, he probably wouldn’t have been able to win.
So, upgrading realm is of the utmost importance.
This is why he bought the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.
He was lucky. It was a fast-selling product that would usually be sold out within a minute of being put on sale. Each account was restricted to buying only five bottles. If Chen Mobai had not been refreshing Jumang Daoist Academy’s official flagship store continuously, he might not have been able to get it.
It was a pity that he was not rich enough, otherwise he could have bought all five bottles. Even if he didn’t use them himself, reselling them could have resulted in a small profit of a hundred Good Deed Points.
While regretting, Chen Mobai heard the bell signaling the end of class.
In the cultivation room at school, he didn’t watch Elder Qing Ping’s Five Elements Cultivation lectures this time, but searched for videos about breaking prohibitions. Thanks to his high privileges, he found more than three hundred methods similar to breaking the Water Wave Compound Restriction..
