Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Achieving Divine Sense_l

After purchasing the books, Chen Mobai left Southstream Market.
As he left, two cultivators emerged from the shadowy alleyway.
“Should we follow him?”
“He Qun said he is at least at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, potentially hiding his true cultivation level, he might be a late-stage Qi Cultivator.”
“Let’s not follow then.”
“Let’s wait and see. Based on his attire, he could be from a significant sect. We’ve just managed to settle down in this market, it’s not worth risking exposure for twenty Spirit Stones.”
Due to the substantial amount of money he now has, Chen Mobai did not return to the Cultivation Room on Wild Mountain but went back to the Water Mansion instead.
With twenty-two cleanly cut, transparent Spirit Stones before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of elation.
If he were to bring those stones back to Earth, he could exchange them for two hundred and twenty thousand Good Deed Points at the bank.
However, Chen Mobai certainly would not hand these Spirit Stones over to the national bank. Wouldn’t that be unabashedly inviting the Immortal Sects to investigate the source of his vast wealth?
He bagged two of the stones and stored the rest in his Water Mansion.
Prior to going home, he did not forget to water the Green Paulownia seedling.
The leaves appeared slightly greener than before, perhaps due to the decent Spiritual Energy in the Water Mansion.
With these thoughts, Chen Mobai activated his teleportation key and was back in his room amidst a silver light.
Good news kept coming his way.
The next day at school, he received a message from Qing Nu.
She said all the herbs had been cold extracted and all that was left was the final step of mixing.
Initially, Chen Mobai thought he would be anxious, but surprisingly, he was exceptionally calm. Perhaps it’s true what they say—the thicker the wallet, the more confident the man.
When fortune destined, heaven and earth moved together.
During his usual cultivation of the ‘Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique’ in the school’s Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai noticed that he had unexpectedly broken through his bottleneck. The seed he had been contemplating broke through the soil and sprouted a green bud.
At that instant, he had thoroughly grasped the transformation of the soul.
“This is…Divine Sense!”
Having felt it once before, Chen Mobai was surprisingly calm. Inside the Cultivation Room, he observed himself internally. His colourful Spiritual Power was turning like a slow-moving whirlpool. However, the whirlpool was quite distorted and not round enough.
After developing Divine Sense, he could actively correct the circulation of spiritual power within his body.
Guided by the techniques described by Qing Ping, Chen Mobai slowly channeled his Spiritual Power in a clockwise motion to his Dantian, and slowly corrected the tilted whirlpool. After completing one cycle, the whirlpool which was previously a bit angular was finally less protrudent.
He felt that in a little while, he should be able to completely form the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian. Once this happens, the Five Elements Cultivation will automatically help condense his Spiritual Power, saving a significant amount of effort.
According to the information on the Five Elements Cultivation, if this Spiritual Power Vortex is formed, it could even boost the probability of Foundation Establishment.
Chen Mobai took every word of Qing Ping as gospel. Now that he had developed his Divine Sense and could take the next step, he felt that his spiritual power seemed slightly refined.
“When the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water concoction is complete, I’ll hand it over to Dad and also mention this to him.”
Lost in his thoughts, his phone alarm rang—it was time to leave the school’s Cultivation Room.
Chen Mobai stood up to leave.
“I heard that the representative from the Repairing Heaven Institute has arrived today.”
“The representative from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is said to be from the Bian family.”
“So only Jumang and Kunpeng of the four Daoist Academies are left. They should arrive soon given that they need ample time to arrange for their entrance exams.”
As soon as he stepped out, a large group of students who had finished their cultivation at the same time were gathered in small clusters, sharing tidbits of information they had heard.
“I finally reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation!”
A loud, joyful cheer rang in Chen Mobai’s ears. He turned and found it was Lu Hongsheng—his classmate.
“Impressive, well done.”
“Congratulations on no longer being bottom of the class.”
Two of his girl classmates teased, drawing a rebuke from Lu Hongsheng.
“Don’t be too quick to judge. I’ve been laying a solid foundation and broke through naturally. Unlike some people who relied on pills, I wonder if their cultivation level is even stable yet.”
As Lu Hongsheng spoke, he intentionally glanced in Chen Mobai’s direction. He had always held a grudge against Chen Mobai for breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation during the holiday period.
He had been harbouring resentment all this while, determined to prove himself better.
Furthermore, he was a firm believer in cultivating without using concoctions. He believed that doing so would yield purer spiritual power which would make the transformation of Spiritual Power into liquid easier during Foundation Establishment, thus increasing the chances of success.
“Old Chen, I broke through a realm today, why don’t we celebrate with a grand meal?”
Seeing Chen Mobai ignoring him, Lu Hongsheng deliberately approached, clearly wanting to show off.
However, Chen Mobai was now at a higher cultivation level. After developing his Divine Sense, as long as his Spiritual Power was supplemented enough, he could easily step into the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable distance from these classmates who were still in the middle phase of Qi Cultivation.
“Some other day, I have plans with a friend today.”
As Chen Mobai spoke, he turned to leave.
“A friend? Apart from us classmates, do you have other friends? I am in a good mood today, why don’t you join us?”
Lu Hongsheng walked up to stop Chen Mobai.
However, Chen Mobai did not slow down. He released his sixth level Qi Cultivation Spiritual Power instantly, breaking through Lu Hongsheng’s Qi aura who had just advanced to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.
“How is it possible…”
After the aura was broken, Lu Hongsheng swayed unsteadily. Chen Mobai put a hand on his shoulder to anchor him.
“After a breakthrough, one shouldn’t get too excited, or else, there’s a high probability of falling back.”
After offering this piece of advice, Chen Mobai removed his hand from his classmate’s shoulder and left the Cultivation Room.
“This guy, when did he break through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation?!”
Lu Hongsheng stood in place, mumbling to himself in disbelief.
“The sixth level of Qi Cultivation!? Might be even higher.”
Song Zheng appeared, he had also just left from a Cultivation Room. He had planned to leave, but unexpectedly saw a fantastic scene.
The others might not have noticed, but as a seventh level Qi Cultivator, he could sense an active Divine Sense fluctuating within Chen Mobai.
This was a sign of developing Divine Sense, indicating that the bottleneck of the late Qi Cultivation phase had been broken through.
“It turns out that apart from Yan Bingxuan, there is another person in the class worth paying attention to.”
Song Zheng recalled Chen Mobai frequently entering and exiting Old Ding’s office. After pondering for a moment, he turned around to find his teacher..
