“Here!”

Early in the morning, Qing Nu called Chen Mobai over and handed him sixteen vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.

“It’s my first time and I’m inexperienced. I only managed to create so much.”

As Qing Nu spoke, a slight blush crept onto her face, clearly a bit embarrassed.

“You’ve already done very well. Rest well. I will bring you the next batch of medicinal ingredients in a few days.”

From the result, it seemed like a loss of more than two thousand Good Deed Points, but Chen Mobai still comforted her with a smile. After all, his Good Deed Points came easily, and he didn’t feel distressed.

“Thank you.”

Listening to the gentle words of the boy in front of her, Qing Nu lifted her slightly lowered head and couldn’t help but wipe her reddened eyes.

Chen Mobai comforted her a few more times and asked for leave from his head teacher.

He planned to go to Red Dawn Institution to deliver the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to his father, who was in retreat, and a copy of his understanding of the Foundation Establishment, which ranked relatively high on the auxiliary software.

Taking the bus, it took Chen Mobai nearly an hour and a half to arrive at the Red Dawn Institution.

Luckily, this place is also one of Red Sandstone City’s tourist attractions. So, there’s no need for any procedures to enter, otherwise, he would have to ask Chen Xinglan to come out and meet him.

At the foot of the Azure Spiritual Peak, Chen Mobai again met Yan Xiang, who had once delivered the Green Paulownia Seedling.

“Waiting for Old Chen, right? He usually comes out at noon.”

Yan Xiang had a pleasant expression, holding a roster in his hand, as if he was checking something.

“Mr. Yan, are you busy? Is there anything I can help with?”

Chen Mobai asked politely. The latter immediately waved his hand, indicating he could handle it.

“Daily meals have to be prepared for the representatives of the Daoist Academy and the colleges who are living on the Spiritual Peak. Some have dietary restrictions. I just need to check the ingredients.”

After Yan Xiang spoke, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, unconsciously, half of the semester had already passed.

In about forty-five days, it will be the university entrance exam.

“How are you doing? Are you confident in getting into the Daoist Academy?”

“I’ll do my best.”

Chen Mobai was not arrogant. His face had an expression of modesty. Mainly because lately, he had been busy exploring the Tianhe Realm and had not done his homework for a long time. He didn’t have much confidence in his knowledge reserves.

However, he had already cultivated the Divine Sense, which greatly increased his learning efficiency. He just needed to work hard during this period to catch up with the progress.

But the entrance exam cutoff is easy. The real challenge is the entrance exams for the various Daoist Academies.

Especially the entrance exams for the four major Daoist Academies. The difficulty can be described as hellish every year. Many years, because there were no qualified candidates, none were admitted from Red Sandstone City.

But it was exactly this policy of preferring to have a gap than admitting inferior candidates that made getting into the four major Daoist Academies the lifelong dream of every student in the cultivation world.

Squeak!

At this moment, the wooden door of Chen Xinglan’s Cave Dwelling opened, and he came out.

“Didn’t I ask you to focus on your exams? Why are you wasting time here?”

At first, Chen Xinglan greeted Yan Xiang. After Yan Xiang left, he frowned and reprimanded his son.

“I rushed to buy some Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and brought it for you. There’s also some Foundation Establishment knowledge I collected online. You can take a look when you have time.”

Chen Mobai handed over ten well-packaged vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to Chen Xinglan, along with a notebook he had printed at a print shop.

“Son, I understand your intentions. But I hope you understand that seeing you achieve something makes me happier and prouder than successfully establishing my foundation.”

Chen Xinglan said to Chen Mobai sternly. The latter stared back into his father’s eyes for a long while before lowering his head.

“I understand, Dad.”

“This Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is intermediate grade at best. Its effects aren’t significant for me, but since it’s your intention, I’ll accept half of it. As for the Foundation Establishment knowledge, the library of the Red Dawn Institution has at least a thousand books, all with similar knowledge relating to my ‘Melting Fire Technique’. Don’t waste time on this in the future. Work hard. If you can enter one of the top ten colleges, your mother and I will be proud of you for the rest of our lives.”

After their father-son talk, Chen Mobai understood Chen Xinglan’s feelings.

For a father, his son’s success is even more gratifying than his own.

Chen Mobai couldn’t understand. Perhaps because he didn’t have a son yet.

But he didn’t confront his father. He just nodded silently.

After having lunch together, father and son parted ways. Chen Xinglan returned to his cave dwelling, continuing his retreat.

Chen Mobai stood at the bus stop, waiting for public transportation.

“Young man, I didn’t expect to see you again here.”

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

When Chen Mobai turned his head, he saw the young man in the blue and white long robe standing there, offering a friendly greeting.

“Hello, are you a student here?”

Chen Mobai nodded in response and asked.

“I just came to visit an older student who’s teaching here. I haven’t learned your name yet. I’ve only been in this blessed land of Danxia for a few days, and encountering you twice shows that we are deeply connected.”

“My name is Chen Mobai, I am a student at the Fifth High School of Xianmen!”

On Tianhe star, Chen Mobai would certainly not dare to reveal his identity. However, here on Digua Star, as a disciple of Xianmen, he did not hide it.

“I am Lan Haitian.”

As soon as Lan Haitian gave his name, Chen Mobai remembered the business card Qing Nu had held in her hand. It said the owner was a classmate of the owner of the Evergreen Pharmacy. It could indeed be a real cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

While Chen Mobai mulled over this, he kept his expression neutral.

Just then, the bus to Red Sandstone City arrived. Chen Mobai said something and said goodbye to Lan Haitian.

“My bus is here. I’m leaving now.”

If it weren’t for his business today, Chen Mobai would have liked to chat more with Lan Haitian.

“We meet again when destiny leads us.”

After saying goodbye, Lan Haitian walked towards the highest Spiritual Peak of the Red Dawn Institution.

“You’re late. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Under the canopy of the Azure Paulownia Tree, several people were already sitting. Seeing Lan Haitian approaching, a young man in a white suit frowned and spoke.

“I apologize. I was having a late-night conversation with a senior brother I haven’t seen for a long time yesterday. I lost track of time in the excitement.”

Lan Haitian’s face showed regret.

“Okay, now that everyone is here, let’s take a look at this year’s test paper.”

The man in red sitting in the main seat nodded and signaled the man in green next to him to hand out the copied exam papers to the representatives of the four major Daoist Academies and a few colleges.

“Isn’t Shi Qing supposed to be in charge?”

“She made a breakthrough a few days ago, and closed herself off. She sent a message to hand over the work to me.”

As he spoke, the man in red robe showed a look of annoyance.

In Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai, with a large bag of exchanged gold, arrived at Wu’s Gold Shop, where he had done business before.

“Cough, cough.Jt’s you…”

However, the condition of Wu Wan was indeed shocking for Chen Mobai.

The once plump and elegant young figure was now thin with white hair, looking as if he had aged from a teenager to middle-aged man overnight.

“Failed to form my foundation, lost vitality and my Qi Cultivation Realm has fallen from Perfection, making me a laughingstock..”
