Chapter 1204
Chapter 1204: Chapter 662: Promotion in Status Chapter 1204: Chapter 662: Promotion in Status Regarding this matter, he couldn’t exactly ask the two Nascent Soul Superiors, it being a secret technique after all. He couldn’t appear too concerned.
Still, he took note of it and planned to consult the Immortal Gate National Library for more information when his realm was higher and he needed to use the “Blooming Moment” secret technique.
Elder Yuanxu and Daoist Yu Yi spent three days on the summit of Danxia Mountain. They experimented together on the Biyu Wutong and, obtaining the data they wanted, bid farewell and left.
Chen Mobai had wanted to see them off personally but they simply shook their heads and stepped into the void, vanishing before his eyes.
That was “Void Walking”!
Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel envious.
After the two Nascent Soul Superiors left, he immediately informed Master Chengxuan.
“Ah, what a pity…”
Upon hearing the news, Master Chengxuan also couldn’t help but sigh.
A Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree–just thinking about it, one would know it was impossible to use for a chance at Divinity Transformation just for him.
However, whatsoever, it did give Master Chengxuan a bit more desire.
If not a Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree, what about a Rank-4?
Moreover, apart from the Vermillion Fruit Tree, there were some Fire Spirit Trees planted in Crimson Mountain. These trees, primarily used to regulate Fire Veins, were of lower value. With his status and a bit of maneuvering, he might be able to procure a Rank-4 Fire Spirit Tree for experimentation.
For this matter, both Elder Yuanxu and Daoist Yu Yi were supportive.
They had already begun jointly studying “Blooming Moment,” but discussing strategies on paper is ultimately inferior to a real trial.
Should Master Chengxuan be willing to be the first to attempt it, it would be beneficial not only for them but the entire Immortal Gate as well.
However, there was a twist–the soon-to-retire Head of Immortal Affairs also expressed a desire to participate.
With his lifespan dwindling, his plan had been to try the Shocking God Sonata after retirement.
With the “Blooming Moment” now an option, he naturally wouldn’t want to miss out.
The Head of Immortal Affairs was also a graduate of the Patching Heaven Institute and had a better relationship with Elder Yuanxuan. After he initiated contact, Elder Yuanxuan couldn’t help but take a neutral stance.
But both parties were very restrained and kept their competition within a small range to avoid alerting others.
After all, there were quite a few Nascent Souls in the Immortal Gate.
By the time Chen Mobai received the news, the competition between the two had already settled, and surprisingly, Master Chengxuan had prevailed over the Head of Immortal Affairs, securing the opportunity.
“I’ll be in seclusion for a long time and might need you to hold the fort at the Daoist Academy,”
Master Chengxuan had called Chen Mobai before going into seclusion.
The experiment with “Blooming Moment” was chosen to use a Fourth Grade Superior Fire Spirit Tree; Master Chengxuan had exhausted all his connections and savings within the Immortal Gate to secure this chance.
The location for the experiment was chosen deep within the Treasure Trove, in a minor realm, as it was a Fifth-Order Fire Vein area with Fire Spirit Trees. If Master Chengxuan could indeed make a breakthrough, the spiritual energy would be sufficient.
This time the experiment was presided over by Daoist Yu Yi, with Elder Yuanxu assisting, because the latter was also engaged in researching the Asura Dharma Aspect. Although multitasking was not an issue for him, having Yu Yi to fully concentrate meant she would take the lead.
“Principal, you are too polite. With Vice Principal Duanmu and Che Laoshi, there’s hardly a need for me to hold the fort…”
Chen Mobai remained humble in front of the Nascent Soul Superiors.
“Duanmu ingested a Vermillion Fruit and Infant-Feeding Elixir last year. She emerged from seclusion a few days ago and her attempt at Nascent Soul Formation failed, causing severe damage to her vital energy. She just submitted a resignation letter, wanting to retire back home for recuperation.”
But Master Chengxuan revealed news that Chen Mobai had not known. Hearing this, his face turned gloomy, and he sighed repeatedly.
He hadn’t expected that even Duanmu Longrong would fail!
The “Nascent Soul Formation” stage was truly challenging!
“Your teacher also wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but after Duanmu’s failure, he felt obliged to stay and keep things stable.”
“There is also another matter, concerning the opportunity to guard that Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree. If you had wanted it, no one within the Daoist Academy could have contested you for it.”
“But since you are not interested, all those who are qualified will be eager to compete for it.”
Master Chengxuan seemed to genuinely view Chen Mobai as the future master of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, informing him of these matters one by one.
However, this wasn’t Chen Mobai’s fault. After all, a mere Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree was not enough to bind him for three hundred years.
And without him, the most universally esteemed individual, the younger Golden Core Cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy naturally wanted to compete for the chance at Nascent Soul Formation.
“I think True Person Shaoyang is good.”
Chen Mobai directly expressed his opinion.
He always remembered those who did him good deeds. Qin Beichen had given him a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi during his Core Formation, which he had always remembered.
Although later on, it seemed that he might have succeeded in Core Formation without the Pure Yang Purple Qi, given all his preparations at the time, it was still a critical aid–an act of kindness.
Now that Master Chengxuan had brought it up, Chen Mobai was definitely supportive of his former mentor.
“This matter calls for a vote from all the Golden Core Masters of the Daoist Academy; if you express your support for Little Qin, it will influence many to vote for him.”
