After the three parted ways, Chen Mobai returned to the Spirit Plant Department.

Lu Jun had finished the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge just in time. Starting next year, Chen Mobai had two acres of medicine fields and sixteen acres of spirit fields under his name.

In addition to the three acres claimed this year and seven acres he had opened up, he now owned a total of twenty-six acres of spirit fields, making him a small landowner.

“Junior Brother Chen, feel free to make any requests. If you need the Azure Light Formation, you can get a few more sets,” Lu Jun said generously.

Sun Gaochang, as the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, had to handle all spirit stones and various materials. And Lu Jun, being his subordinate, had good control over these resources.

Chen Mobai directly received five sets of Azure Light Formation and a bag of Dew Grass seeds.

This Dew Grass is a Rank-1 intermediate category spiritual medicine, a supplementary ingredient for making many elixirs. It is also required in large quantities in the Foundation Building Pill.

The excess medicine fields in Giant Tree Ridge were all used to grow this spirit grass.

Normally, he should have received rice seeds as well, but Chen Mobai knew the average quality of the rice seeds in the Spirit Plant Department. He decided to use the Yubud Lingmi produced in his seven-acre spirit field as seeds.

If it weren’t for fear of exposure, he would have liked to use the rice seeds from the Celestial Sect.

However, the minimum yield per acre for the Daoist Academy experimental fields is three hundred catties, which is a bit too advanced for the Tianhe Realm.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai also inquired about Elder Zeng from the Alchemy Department making the Foundation Building Pill.

It was not a secret; many people were keeping an eye on this matter.

Lu Jun directly told him that the auxiliary medicines were indeed being prepared, but since Elder Zeng was currently refining a furnace of “White Jade Spirit Ginseng Pills”, he might not start making the Foundation Building Pill until after the New Year, or even later.

As for when exactly it would be made, they, the lower-level disciples, could only wait.

Hearing this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh.

He had done all he could at this point.

That night, he left Divine Wood City and returned to the vicinity of Small Yang Ridge, where his ten-acre spirit field was located.

Time passed quickly.

At the gate of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing hired a car to the train station.

“See you next year.”

The three of them had to part ways at the train station because they came from different blessed lands of the Celestial Sect.

After boarding the train, Chen Mobai sat alone in first class, reading an ancient manuscript on boundary laws: the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret.

His first year at Dance Tool Dao Academy was fulfilling.

The main courses “Puppetry” and its related “Spirit Artifact Automation”, as well as “Agricultural Studies” all ended with high scores, maintaining his persona as a hands-on genius.

However, every silver lining has a cloud. His other major course, “Talisman”, could not withstand the final exam.

The task was to draw a Rank-1 high-grade spirit talisman similar in difficulty to the Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman. Chen Mobai failed all three attempts due to inadequate learning and flunked the course.

Fortunately, the elective “Talisman Ink Extraction” saved him. He used the Cinnabarite Spirit Sand he got from Shen Juanxiu to blend an almost Rank-2 talisman ink because of the good materials, earning him a high score.

The Calligraphy teacher was kind-hearted; as long as you signed up, didn’t skip classes, and submitted ten pieces of calligraphy as a final project, everyone could pass.

At the end of the semester, Chen Mobai completed 11 credits, narrowly passing all his courses.

It was also at the end of the term that Chen Mobai learned that school credits could be used to exchange for many elixirs and magic talismans that were not available on the market.

For example, the Foundation Building Triad can be exchanged with 5 school credits by students in the Daoist Academy.

Another example is Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, a Spirit Water that can nourish and expand the meridians, increasing the success rate of foundation establishment, which is valued at 15 school credits.

Usually, students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy save their credits for use after successfully establishing their foundation.

Those who cultivate with the “Union of Differences” use them to exchange for top-ranked spiritual treasures compatible with their spiritual roots.

Even those who do not use the “Union of Differences” can also exchange for Rank-2 spiritual objects they need.

For example, those in the Talisman Line would exchange for Rank-2 talisman paper and ink to breakthrough; those in the Puppet Line exchange for precious parts to make higher-grade dolls; those from the Refining Implement Department exchange for the materials they need; credits can also be used to apply for opportunities to use the Soulful Mirror or other top-ranked magic artifacts, and so on.

However, to prevent profiteering, the Daoist Academy has regulations stating that exchanges can only be made at the end of the academic year, and each person’s credits can only be used by themselves and cannot be traded.

Chen Mobai was not particularly concerned about saving his credits.

He used his credits immediately, exchanging for a batch of Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid.

The Spirit Ascension Powder was intended for his father, while the Solidifying Qi Liquid was to be sold to Shen Juanxiu.

Before he made the exchange, he first called this wealthy senior sister, who had acquired Vein Protection Pills this year. Adding the Spirit Ascension Powder that Chen Mobai had obtained previously, she only needed a batch of Solidifying Qi Liquid to complete the Foundation Building Triad.

Chen Mobai was short on money and Shen Juanxiu needed the exchange, so they quickly came to an agreement over the phone.

Once back in Red Sandstone City, he took care of this significant deal.

Since he had notified in advance, Shen Juanxiu was prepared this time with enough Good Deed Points. For each type of the Foundation Building Triad, the Celestial School market price is 800,000 Good Deed Points, but due to high demand, the price tends to be 20% higher.

Shen Juanxiu directly gave Chen Mobai 1 million Good Deed Points, not only because they have a good relationship, but also because she intends to maintain this connection.

After all, the last person from Red Sandstone City to enter Dance Tool Dao Academy is now the real person in the red robe.

Chen Mobai did not refuse, but as he was late in returning, Luan Jingsheng, who he knew from Cinnabarite Institute, had already left the school to go home, so they couldn’t catch up.

He also brought a basket of Spiritual Fruits to visit the real person in the red robe, but the latter was in seclusion, so they could not meet.

Not long after returning home, Chen Mobai realized that he probably shouldn’t have come back.

He had underestimated the impact of being a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Looking at even more reporters outside his window than when he was accepted into the academy, Chen Mobai sighed.

He had wanted to invite his high school classmates for a meal, but under the circumstances, he decided not to trouble them.

So, after two days in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai decided to lay low in Green Mountain Village for a while.

Of course, before leaving, Chen Mobai made a detour to Red Dawn Institution to give the Spirit Ascension Powder he had exchanged from the Daoist Academy to Chen Xinglan.

The father and son were naturally overjoyed to see each other.

“I’ve been waiting for you too, but I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.”

Upon receiving the Spirit Ascension Powder, Chen Xinglan felt a deep sense of emotion.

He had decided that after seeing his wife and son, he would immediately go into closed-door cultivation.

The family reunion did not last long. To prevent Chen Xinglan’s emotions from fluctuating drastically, Chen Mobai and Tang Panchui quickly took their leave.

After arriving at Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai contacted people like Lu Hongsheng, Song Zheng, and Yan Bingxuan to catch up.

Initially, the high school group had planned to have a meal together, but he could only apologize due to the circumstances.

At night, Chen Mobai made a call to the last person he hadn’t yet contacted, Qing Nu..
