I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 368: Chapter 285 – Alleyway_1

In the end, Chen Mobai couldn’t go against Hua Zijing’s desires, and made a small disguise to his appearance.

The scales of the Green Scale Arm Guard flew out, gathering on his face to form a slightly transparent Black Crystal Mask, which conveniently covered half of his face, revealing his eyes, forehead, and chin.

“You…”

Hua Zijing looked at the mask, and her face showed surprise.

“What is it?”

Chen Mobai reached out and touched the mask. Like crystal, its scales were cool and slightly hard to the touch.

The mask’s style was taken from the dark alter ego of the main character in a TV show he had watched as a child. Its aesthetics were top-notch. Upon wearing it, his originally calm and slightly immature temperament suddenly took on a mysterious and dignified aura.

“Isn’t this the mask of the villainous Demon Teachings male lead from ‘Legend of the Heavenly Sword’? His name was King Abilo, right?”

Unexpectedly, Hua Zijing had also seen the show. Chen Mobai immediately felt that he had found a kindred spirit. The two of them immersed themselves in discussions and debates about the tragic fate of the characters in the series.

However, Chen Mobai didn’t forget his main task.

He activated his “Red Misty Cloud Silk”, taking both of them away from Treasure Trove and towards Crimson City Celestial Cave.

When they arrived at the city’s entrance, the two of them got off.

Private flying is not allowed within Celestial Caves and Blessed Lands.

“President, if you were the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Teachings and ended up with the Heavenly Sword, invincible in the world, at the grand finale, what would be your choice? The world or love?”

After getting down from the “Red Misty Cloud Silk”, Hua Zijing asked a question.

“Impossible, I had received Immortal Gate teachings from childhood. Throughout my life, I have been a good person and could never be part of the Demon Teachings.”

Chen Mobai, with righteousness and confidence, answered from a different perspective, prompting Hua Zijing to roll her eyes at him.

“I meant hypothetically.”

“Then I guess I would choose the world.”

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but felt that love was too elusive. He hadn’t experienced it, so he made this choice.

“Hmph.”

Hearing this, Hua Zijing coldly huffed and walked past him, leading the way into the Crimson City Celestial Cave.

Chen Mobai scratched his head. He knew that girls probably liked boys to answer with “love,” but he chose to follow his heart.

Both of them were wearing the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe. True to their expectations, they did attract some surprise and attention from some passers-by. However, because Chen Mobai was wearing a mask, no one recognized him. It was like getting to experience life as a “regular person”.

As he looked around the entire Crimson City Celestial Cave, he could see students from various other universities.

However, the most eye-catching ones were those from the four major Daoist Academies.

“That row over there are all stalls from Jumang Daoist Academy. They are the most popular in this exchange meeting because they have a lot of rare pills and Spiritual Water for sale, and at cheap prices.”

Hua Zijing pointed at a row of wooden stalls located at the best spot on the east side of the plaza. Around seventeen or eighteen students from the Repairing Heaven Institute, wearing the Fairy Qing Shan robes, were busy selling pills and tubes of Spiritual Water to the young people from various universities lined up in front of their stalls.

Chen Mobai even saw two familiar figures from the Dance Tool Dao Academy within the crowd.

“Class Leader Si, Member Zhuang.”

He immediately waved at the two, completely forgetting that he was wearing a mask and needed to keep a low profile.

Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who heard Chen Mobai’s greeting, looked back in shock. They had been classmates in the Talisman Script department with Chen Mobai for two to three years, and were naturally familiar with his voice.

As soon as they heard it, they knew who was calling them.

“I told you to…”

Zijing started nagging Chen Mobai at his side. It was only now that he recalled that he needed to keep a low profile. Yet, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who were queueing, had already walked over. It would be rude to just turn around and leave.

“Chen… classmate, what brings you here?”

With a beautiful face shape and pear vortex-like thin eyebrows, Zhuang Jialan adjusted her glasses. Upon seeing Chen Mobai wearing the mask, she instantly knew she couldn’t say that name out loud in public.

Otherwise, they would surely be swarmed. Given they couldn’t fly, the crowd could potentially block traffic.

“Our Student Council has the annual responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Daoist Academy’s stalls during the exchange meeting. Since we were busy fighting in the Little Red Sky earlier and had some free time today, the Vice President and I came over to take a look and do some inspection.”

Chen Mobai used a ready-made excuse to respond, and carefully looked at the two of them. He noticed a slight difference in their auras—they seemed a bit thicker. However, those from the Immortal Gate would never actively probe others’ cultivation level, so he could only guess that the two might have comprehended the Threshold Law and were trying to establish their Foundation.

“The Alchemists from the Repairing Heaven Institute will be refining a batch of Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pills here today. Once ready, there will be a draw for a chance to buy them, so we came to try our luck.”

Class Leader Si took the initiative to explain why they came. Upon hearing this, Chen confirmed his guess.

The Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pill was an alternative to the Jade Marrow Pill, with about one-tenth of the latter’s effect.

“Are you both going to establish your Foundation?”

Chen Mobai asked directly. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan nodded.

“We wasted a few years earlier trying to get our Talisman Maker certificates. But it was only after seeing you establish your Foundation that we realized no matter how brilliant our skills are, they cannot compare to our personal Realm.”
