Chapter 351: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_1

Lan Haitian is the most reputed Foundation Establishment true cultivator of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, and his strength is widely recognized as the best within this realm.

Chen Mobai fulfilled his duties as a host to the best of his ability.

“Does the avatar projected into the Little Red Sky possess unlimited spiritual power?”

During their meal, Lan Haitian didn’t forget to discuss important matters with Chen Mobai. Although he was confident in his abilities, he always prepared thoroughly before taking any actions, a practice he always adhered to.

“At the start of the Magic Duel, the avatar you project in is assumed to be the same as your physical self outside. Using spells and the like will consume your spiritual power. Once your spiritual power is exhausted, Little Red Sky will declare automatic surrender.”

“However, after a match, regardless of victory or defeat, if you re-enter the duel, your spiritual power will be restored to its peak state.”

“As long as your mind can withstand the stress, theoretically, you could keep finding opponents within the Little Red Sky.”

After listening to Chen Mobai’s explanation, Lan Haitian nodded slightly, signaling his understanding.

Projecting into the Little Red Sky doesn’t consume spiritual power, but it does drain the mind.

Because of this, many people can only participate in ten matches per day at most.

As Chen Mobai’s opponents were unable to pose a threat to him, he won each duel with a single sword strike, making twenty matches in a day a breeze.

“Before I came here, Director Nan advised me to pay a visit to Director Che of your academy after I clinch first place.”

As he was leaving, Lan Haitian suddenly said these words. Chen Mobai immediately pretended not to know.

“Oh, is there something going on?”

Lan Haitian glanced at Chen Mobai and simply laughed.

“A good show is about to begin.”

Having fought alongside Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai clearly understood the weight of his reputation.

Xiahou Weihuan of Pure Yang Academy, however, was a fellow of the same cultivation level at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he was armed with the premium combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret. Even though his abilities were halved in the Little Red Sky as he couldn’t carry his Destiny Flying Sword, Chen Mobai felt that he might give Lan Haitian a fierce competition.

Chen Mobai immediately reported this development to Che Yucheng.

Upon hearing it, Che Yucheng was taken aback for a moment as he hadn’t expected Kunpeng Daoist Academy to dispatch Lan Haitian.

“It seems Taishi Shu’s loss has also greatly infuriated that guy, Nan Dou.”

The dean of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy is named Nan Dou and among the four major Daoist academies, his fame rings the loudest in the last hundred years. Despite being only a Gold Core cultivator, he owned a Rank-4 companion beast which made him acknowledged as an equal to those at the Nascent Soul level within the immortal gate.

“And what about the Repairing Heaven Institute? Why is it so quiet?”

Chen Mobai then asked. After all, the initial defeats of Ling Daoshi and Taishi Shu were made public and these two academies had lost face in a grand scale.

Pure Yang Academy, propelled by these two, and Xiahou Weihuan’s proclamation that “Crimson City’s righteous lineage lies in Pure Yang,” has led to several forum discussions about whether Dance Tool Dao Academy, which has always ranked last among the four major Daoist academies, should shift its position.

“Let’s wait and see. Oh, by the way, I have asked Sister Duanmu, she has permitted you to open a Rank-3 ‘Device Nurturing Sphere’. Do you have time now? I’ll take you there.”

Upon hearing another piece of good news, Chen Mobai nodded with excitement.

“Master, I have loaned my device piece to Ming Yuhua.”

But immediately, Chen Mobai remembered this problem and his brows furrowed.

“It doesn’t matter, let’s call him. I can take him to meet Sister Duanmu at the same time.”

Arriving once more at the depths of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai still felt a bit hot along the way.

When they were in front of the stone house, Ming Yuhua immediately handed the device piece he received from Duanmu Longrong to Chen Mobai.

“These two are the new Pure Yang Taoist seeds?”

Duanmu Longrong suddenly asked, catching Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua by surprise.

“Correct, sister.”

Che Yucheng lightly nodded.

“A bit weak.”

Duanmu Longrong looked at them, shaking her head expressionlessly.

“They can still grow. Perhaps a hundred years from now, they will be the ones to replace you, sister.”

Che Yucheng replied with a smile, causing Duanmu Longrong to shoot him an annoyed glare. He did not say any more, and immediately took Ming Yuhua up first.

When only Chen Mobai was left, he looked nervously at this Core Formation cultivator standing in front of him. However, she didn’t show him any prejudice because he was Che Yucheng’s disciple.

“You wait here, don’t move.”

As she spoke, Duanmu Longrong pointed at the large Vermillion Fruit Tree next to her, then got up and entered the stone house behind her.

Chen Mobai sneaked a glance and saw several cabinets inside, some empty, some holding ordinary-looking white jade spheres.

Are these all Rank-3 ‘Device Nurturing Spheres’?

Chen Mobai wanted to count them but found Duanmu Longrong had already closed the door.

He had no choice but to wait under the Vermillion Fruit Tree.

“There are four, whose sealed spiritual liquid is of the fire attribute. What you can open depends on your own fate.”

When Duanmu Longrong emerged, she waved her red-black sleeve, and four ‘Device Nurturing Spheres’ appeared in front of Chen Mobai.

He immediately activated his Void Spirit Eye. The clear glow in his pupils allowed him to see past the surface and get a general understanding of the contents.

They were each a circle, a blur, a bell shape, and a straight long shape.

With the Rank-3 ‘Device Nurturing Sphere’, the effect of the sealed spiritual liquid is much stronger. Even his Void Spirit Eye couldn’t see through everything.

Despite this, the moment Duanmu Longrong caught sight of the shimmer in his eyes, she revealed a look of surprise.
