Chapter 318: Chapter 263: Exchanging Pill Prescription for Tree Fruit_1
“Elder Brother Chen, I will forever remember your immense kindness and grace,”
After receiving the alchemy recipe from Chen Mobai, Yan Jinye, her face flushed with excitement, emptied all the spirit stones in her storage bag.
Chen Mobai looked distressed as usual.
He accepted Yan Jinye’s spirit stones – over a dozen intermediate-grade ones and a pile of lower-grade ones – placing them into his own storage bag as if he had suffered a great loss.
“Junior Sister, since this alchemy recipe is so precious, you must study and practice it on your own. You must absolutely not share it with anyone else,” Chen Mobai sternly warned.
As a professional in the field, Yan Jinye immediately made a solemn Daoist vow. Her teacher, Zeng Woyou, had obtained all of the alchemy recipes from the Divine Wood Sect, but he could only study and comprehend them on his own.
So, if Yan Jinye wants a certain alchemy recipe, she can only buy or trade for it herself.
In the Tianhe realm, knowledge is extremely precious.
After seeing off Yan Jinye, who had gained a lot and left with an empty bag of Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai turned to the Jade Box on his table with a smile.
Inside, a fist-sized fruit with a grey shell and a white mark caught his eyes. It was a Tree Fruit.
Picking up the fruit, Chen Mobai felt like he was holding an extremely massive and profound clump of energy.
According to the description in the Dual-phase Rotation technique, a white mark signifies a small fruit, which is perfect for him.
If he consumed it right away, he could rapidly break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
But of course, Chen Mobai would not act rashly. As long as the shell of the fruit remains intact, it can be preserved for a long time.
He put the Tree Fruit back into the Jade Box with satisfaction.
A high tower rises from the ground. Having obtained the first fruit is a good start.
If he could really collect a set of three fruits, he would consider consuming them. If not, he could treat it as a collection of a rare and exotic treasure.
However, now that he had the first fruit, he began to consider replenishing his lifespan.
This was not something he would attempt to solve within the Tianhe realm.
The Crimson City Cave Sky hosts a Life-Extension Cultivation Institute – a university specialized in this field. Luckily, there seemed to be an event in the second half of the year that all universities in the cave sky will participate in.
As a representative of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could take this opportunity to exchange ideas with students from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.
It’s a pity that Kong Feichen has joined the Ascension Sect. Otherwise, he could have asked him to check some relevant information in the Imperial Medical Academy.
However, the origin of alchemy in the Immortal Sector comes from the Jumang Daoist Academy, maybe he could ask Qing Nu about it too.
With these thoughts, Chen Mobai left a Message Talisman for Zhuo Ming, stating that he was closing down, before he sealed off the peak of Xiao Nanshan again.
Now that he had obtained the Tree Fruit from Yan Jinye, his purpose for staying in the Tianhe Realm had been fulfilled. He could return to the Immortal Sector to handle the matters he had been pondering.
Amidst the shimmering silver light, Chen Mobai, having returned to the Treasure Trove, opened his eyes.
First, he called Qing Nu to deepen their relationship and ask if she was available at the end of the year.
The Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was almost depleted, and he wanted to ask Qing Nu to help brew two more portions.
Since Vermillion Fruit could only be exchanged with credits at the end of the year, he was just trying to arrange a time with Qing Nu for then.
By the way, during the call, he would inquire about replenishing his lifespan.
However, the call was not connected, and an automated text message was returned.
As it turned out, Qing Nu had sensed an opportunity and got a glimpse of the Dao. She was now in seclusion, working on her Foundation Establishment.
Not just Chen Mobai, everyone was unable to reach her.
After reading the message, Chen Mobai was genuinely happy for Qing Nu.
After all, throughout his journey, he didn’t have many friends.
And Qing Nu was one of his best friends.
In the long future, if he could indeed reach the Core Formation stage, the only friend who could accompany him would probably be Qing Nu, who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
[You will definitely succeed.]
After sending a message back, Chen Mobai left the Treasure Trove.
Since Qing Nu couldn’t be counted on for the time being, Chen Mobai had another good friend – Wang Xingyu.
As the top alchemist of the class of 5012, he had passed the examination for a Rank-2 Alchemist’s certificate and was a genuine genius.
Moreover, last year, it was Wang Xingyu who had helped Chen Mobai select a high-quality Vermillion Fruit. His contribution to the success of Qing Nu’s Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was undeniable.
However, thinking that he currently had three Bamboo Fruits but not enough credits to exchange for three Vermillion Fruits at the end of the year made Chen Mobai feel a bit gloomy.
A Vermillion Fruit of Rank-2 cost 20 credits. If he had not mooched ten semesters of credits from the Sword Control Department this year, he could probably only exchange for one at the end of the year.
Immediately after exiting the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu.
“Old Chen? What a surprise!” came Wang Xingyu’s surprised voice from the phone.
“Bro, the merchant who cultivates bamboo has matured three more Bamboo Fruits this year. Could you help me choose three high-quality Vermillion Fruits again?”
“No problem, but do you have enough credits?”
“Enough for two.”
Wang Xingyu was a man of his word. After ending the call, he immediately guided Chen Mobai to a robust, luxuriant Vermillion Fruit Tree in Building Three.
On the thickest brown branch, there were three fiery red fruits. From a distance, they looked like red jade, brimming with elemental energy.
