Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Qing Nu j

As a Rank-4 high-quality Spirit Wood rarely seen among the Immortal Sects, the Beryl Phoenix Tree, when converted to the realm of Immortal Cultivation, is equivalent to Nascent Soul.
However, Spirit Woods face great difficulty in attaining enlightenment. Despite possessing enormous spiritual energy on par with Nascent Soul Level, the Beryl Phoenix Tree has not yet developed its spirituality. Since its upgrade to Rank-4 a thousand years ago, it has enhanced the fire vein rank and scope of the Red Dawn Institution, but it has shown no tendency to transform spiritually.
This Spirit Wood perfectly embodyies the condition of being powerful yet unshocking.
Chen Mobai began to enter tranquility and contemplate with peace of mind. However, the first step of “entering tranquility” stumped him.
Perhaps, due to his recent experiences, his mind’s cluttered thoughts noticeably increased. Trying to suppress it all and maintain mental clarity was proving difficult.
Fortunately, the predecessors of the Immortal Sect had anticipated Chen Mobai’s situation. At the starting of “Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique”, there was a companion “Calming Incantation”. He recited it silently several times, and approximately two hours later, he finally understood a state of mind that was serene and silent.
In this quiet state, Chen Mobai visualized the towering tree he had seen today. After an unknown amount of time, he felt as if his spirit was a seed, awakening from a long dormant state. The quiet vitality began to shine, and a tiny green bud slowly broke through the ground.
This process was very intriguing. All of Chen Mobai’s senses seemed to have transformed into this green bud. While absorbing nutrients from the earth it was also yearning for sunlight. The arduous progress of breaking through the earth made him feel his spiritual growth constantly.
He had a feeling that as soon as the bud freed itself completely from the earth’s ties, his divine sense would be completed.
This process might require a considerable amount of time, but the satisfaction of seeing his progress at every moment filled Chen Mobai with delight.
After a night spent pondering and crafting divinity, Chen Mobai woke up feeling mentally exhausted. However, his soul was clearer than ever before, as if all the dust in his heart had been wiped away.
“This Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique is indeed a meritorious path. By just entering tranquility every day over a long period of time, the divine sense will naturally be cultivated.”
Chen Mobai was excited, but he didn’t know that many Qi Cultivation Level 6 practitioners would stumble on the first step “Entering Tranquility”. Typically it would take a period of time, ranging from a few days to months of practicing the Calming Incantation, to eliminate all distractions and feel the revival of their spirit.
He was still under the effect of the Dream-shattering Song, his spirit had awakened, and that’s why he managed to succeed overnight.
Chen Mobai didn’t know these key points, but Chen Baolan did, and that’s why she reminded him not to cultivate spiritual power in the next few days, but to focus on feeling the divine sense. However, she didn’t expect her nephew’s good fortune, being able to visualize the Beryl Phoenix Tree and succeed in entering tranquility.
After eating something casually in the morning, he spent the whole morning in school with his eyes closed, resting.
By lunch break, Chen Mobai had recovered his spirit, and seemed to learn more efficiently on the Auxiliary Cultivation software.
“No wonder cultivators always advocate that cultivation realm comes first. I’ve just begun to sense divine sense, and my learning and comprehension speed are already double from before. If those cultivators whose divine sense is fully developed can leave their bodies, wouldn’t their efficiency be even more impressive?”
Once the cultivation realm improved, the efficiency and progress of learning knowledge in the same amount of time far exceeded the times without divine sense.
For such a reason, Immortal Sect cultivators would only focus on Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal when they faced a bottleneck.
Who would want to work if they could concentrate on cultivating immortality? Although Doyuan Star was a Cultivation Civilization, numerous social relationships were still unavoidable shackles for cultivators.
For example, Chen Mobai wanted the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. Not only could it help him quickly upgrade his realm, but it could also help his father achieve perfection in Qi Cultivation Level 9.
Hence, after much thought, he finally decided to cooperate with Qing Nu.
Although there were many Alchemists in Red Sandstone City, the ones at Rank-2 were few and far between. As Qing Nu was able to become an apprentice under the chief of the Evergreen Pharmacy, her alchemic talents were indeed not bad.
Chen Mobai had looked up the recipe for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water on the medicine bottle. All the ingredients were Rank-t, and after checking the prices online, the cost of producing a pot of spirit water concentrate was about 6000 Good Deed Points. If everything went well, one pot of concentrate could produce 50 tubes of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.
According to the last bidding price of 200 Good Deed Points per vial, the profit was indeed attractive.
However, it’s well known that the initial investment for an Alchemist is huge, and to successfully train one is uncertain. Once they’re finally trained, they might just seek brighter prospects elsewhere.
But Chen Mobai doesn’t have the time to learn himself, and within the school, the teacher who instructs the Pill Course is just a Rank-1 Lingzhi Husband. Because a Rank-1 Alchemist can earn more working in a pharmaceutical factory, due to the limited teaching resources at the high school, they could only hire a Lingzhi Husband who primarily teaches cultivation and preservation of medicinal herbs.
Even so, it was the principal who took the initiative to invite this Lingzhi Husband from Cinnabarite Institute.
If it wasn’t for the resources of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would definitely not consider nurturing an Alchemist.
But now, he wanted to give it a shot.
Because the pills from the Cultivator that can be purchased on the market are too hard to get hold of, even Foundation Establishment cultivators have to abide by this rule. Therefore, many top-ranked cultivators will cooperate with alchemists to mutually benefit each other.
But this kind of trust requires long-term cooperation.
Chen Mobai wonders if he can trust Qing Nu.
But isn’t all trust cultivated from nothing at the beginning?
After school, he first went home to change out of his school uniform, and when the time was almost right, he headed towards Evergreen Pharmacy.
“Hello…”
When he entered, Qing Nu was already standing behind the counter waiting for him, wearing casual white clothes, her long hair slightly curled. Seeing Chen Mobai, she smiled and greeted him.
Because she didn’t need to extract medicinal fluids today, she wasn’t wearing a mask, so Chen Mobai finally got a clear look at her face. Her skin was snow-white, her face was like a delicate egg, her nose small and lips red. Her eyes, bright as gems, matched perfectly with her sweet smile and the small dimple on her cheek. Her overall temperament was pure, with a touch of naivety.
“I’m sorry, I seem to have arrived late.”
“No, no, I also came over after school. Let’s go eat, my treat.”
Qing Nu got tickets to the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe and seemed very happy. She took the initiative to invite Chen Mobai to dinner.
“If you leave, will the shop be closed?”
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu grabbed her small bag and shouted to the back door, “Teacher, I have something to do today. You’ll have to manage the shop.”
“Okay, just remember not to stay out all night.”
An old and majestic voice came from the back door. It must be the manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy, but his words caused Qing Nu’s cheeks to flush. She couldn’t help but spit.
“What are you talking about? We’re just going for dinner and to see a show!”
She walked out from behind the counter, allowing Chen Mobai to finally see her entire graceful figure. Her waist was slim, and she was wearing blue denim shorts and a pair of well-washed canvas sneakers. Her long, straight legs were full of energy.
Standing in the sunlight at the entrance, her entire body was as white as beautiful jade, flawless.
By the way, I still don’t know your name?”
She asked.
“Chen Mobai!”
“My name is Qing Nu.”
“And your family name?”
“I don’t have a family name, just Qing Nu..”
