I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 580: Chapter 379: Transplanting the Vermillion Fruit Tree_2

“I hope it’s as you say.”

Chen Mobai’s words made Zeng Xingfu burst into laughter.

Almost half of the successful Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Immortal Gates belong to the four Great Dao Academies. Chi Shicheng is indeed the one with the most potential to advance to the Core Formation level among the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the last sixty years.

“Little Chen, it seems you haven’t joined the Talisman Maker Association yet. Are you interested? The Association has many true versions of talismans. Aside from a few ancient talismans treasured in the Xianmen Museum, the inheritance of the talisman is arguably the most numerous and complete in the entire Xianmen. Moreover, our president is one of the only two Rank-5 Talisman Makers in Xianmen, Master Yu Yi from the Heavenly Book Academy.”

A middle-aged female examiner named Yan Wanqing gently invited him. All the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in Xianmen have their own associations. Other people who want to join must at least pass the examination of Rank-2 Talisman Maker.

Moreover, besides the Rank-2 Professional Seal, they still need to pass the exclusive examination within the Talisman Maker Association.

However, as long as there are three formal members in the association who approve, a new Rank-2 Talisman Maker can join the association without examination.

Chen Mobai, a genius in talisman making and also the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, all three of them on the scene would be happy to serve as his guide into the association as long as he is willing.

“Well, because I will focus my main energy on the Daoist Academy and Puppet Dao in the next few years, there may not be enough time to spend on the path of talisman making before graduation.”

Chen Mobai honestly stated. With Pure Yang Scroll and perfect Foundation Establishment of Divine Sense, plus a Puppet Factory that just started on the right track, and future trading across two realms, at least in his priority order in the next ten years, the rank of talisman making is relatively low.

“That’s okay. In fact, our Talisman Maker Association is a loose organization. It merely provides a platform for everyone to communicate and learn from each other. Most Cultivators who are above Rank-3 in the Immortal Gate are in the association. Once you join, as long as you pay an annual fee of 100 Good Deed Points, you can freely browse and download the inheritance of Rank-1 to Rank-4 talismans in the association. Moreover, the task of making talismans issued by the association is voluntary, you don’t have to worry about being constrained or anything.”

Zeng Xingfu seldom persuaded, hearing this, Chen Mobai also stopped refusing the goodwill of the three examiners.

After filling out an application to join the Talisman Maker Association, Zeng Xingfu and the other two each signed their names and put their Professional Seals on it, and the procedure was completed.

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see that Zeng Xingfu’s seal was actually a Rank-3 Talisman Maker.

But thinking about his age, he understood.

After the perfect Foundation Establishment in the Xianmen, especially for civil servants, they have lots of free time while waiting for Core Formation. Zeng Xingfu, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is naturally a genius. It is only natural that he has become a Rank-3 Talisman Maker after nearly a hundred years of research.

Chen Mobai, considering the various matters of the new semester in the Daoist Academy, only had lunch with Zeng Xingfu and the others, added their contact information, and then went straight back to Crimson Mountain.

“President, how did the exam go?”

Inside the small western-styled building of the Student Council, Zhuang Jialan asked with concern when she saw Chen Mobai return.

“With the guidance of you, my little teacher, I’m sure I passed.”

Chen Mobai took out his Rank-2 Professional Seal and teased.

“President is a genius. Even without my advice, he could easily pass.”

Zhuang Jialan sighed with relief when she saw the seal.

In fact, she was a little worried deep down. After all, Chen Mobai was a bit rusty when he first asked her for guidance last year. However, he learned faster and faster later on, and he had a success rate of 70-80% in each practice even before taking Enlightenment Tea.

“Is there any conflict with the new term’s courses?”

Chen Mobai asked about the work of the Student Council. Zhuang Jialan immediately took out a document and mentioned three courses that were cancelled by the Academic Affairs Office because of the insufficient number of students who had signed up. These students needed to re-select a course to avoid affecting the number of credits at the end of the year.

The Student Council needs to step in and handle these matters.

However, some students who reselect courses might not be accepted by the instructors due to overcapacity.

This is the case this year.

“I got it. Notify Zhongli Tianyu, the three of us will handle this matter together.”

After the puppet factory started to take off, Chen Mobai had decided to resign from his position as the student council president by the end of this year. Although Zhongli Tianyu was a bit eccentric, his cultivation realm was high and he was the strongest among their generation after the chief.

His succession could at least ensure that the Dance Tool Dao Academy would remain the number one among all immortal sects in the next three years.

Anyway, Chen Mobai would definitely not attend any offline sparring in the future.

He had already cleared all the stages, it was no longer fun for him!

Moreover, it was unlikely that the other Daoist academies would send graduates like last year because it would limit the opportunities for the younger generation.

Last year was an anomaly, Chen Mobai’s massacre in Little Red Sky had left many from the Daoist academies unconvinced, hence the incident.

Now, online and offline, everyone had been beaten into submission by Chen Mobai. Nobody would come court humiliation again.

Chen Mobai stayed in the Daoist Academy for another month, dealt with the busiest period after the start of the term, and then asked for leave from Che Yucheng. The reason he gave was to put the puppet knowledge he had learned from textbooks into practice.

Che Yucheng definitely approved.

“I also heard about your puppet factory from Zhou Tiangong. The factory is in a place with fire poison. You need help from the Earth Masters from the academy to deal with it, right?”

After approving Chen Mobai’s year-long leave from the academy, Che Yucheng asked with concern.

“Yunyang Bing has already assessed it, he has also passed the Rank-2 Earth Master test. He said that there are no major problems, just need to plant more trees. Speaking of this, can the academy provide me with a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree and Fire Spirit Tree sapling? These would be very suitable for managing the fire poison on my land.”

Che Yucheng didn’t bring it up so Chen Mobai was going to mention it. It fits right in and he quickly moved on with the conversation.

“For the Fire Spirit Tree, just tell Director Jin from the Spiritual Plant Department. Although the exchange period has passed, it can be treated as a special case. The Vermillion Fruit Tree would be a bit troublesome…”

The Fire Spirit Tree is one of the tree species developed by Dance Tool Dao Academy, specifically for planting on fire veins. Due to their tenacity, there are many seeds available, and most first year students in Spiritual Plant Department use these trees for research.

One study credit in the academy can exchange for 10 Rank-1 Fire Spirit Tree saplings.

After Che Yucheng made phone calls, a few students from the Spiritual Plant Department soon delivered 100 saplings.

“As for the Vermillion Fruit Tree, students are not allowed to exchange their study credits for them. Moreover, Rank-2 spirit trees have already matured and transplanting them can be very challenging.”

After Che Yucheng finished, he made a few more phone calls. Finally, his face softened, seemingly having found a solution.

“Senior teachers and directors in the academy can exchange for the Vermillion Fruit Tree. I’ve exchanged a Rank-2 one in my name for you.”

“Thank you, teacher. How many study credits did it cost? I’ll transfer them to you.”

When Chen Mobai heard this, he was touched.

“Never mind, consider it an early graduation gift from me.”

Che Yucheng spoke casually, which moved Chen Mobai even more. The value of the Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree must be high, because every year 20 study credits were required to exchange for a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit.

Afterwards, when Chen Mobai followed the students of the Spiritual Plant Department to transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found that a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree required 300 study credits to be exchanged, equivalent to three device pieces.

He could only etch this favor in his heart and vowed not to let down Che Yucheng’s mentorship. He would definitely propagate his Puppet Dao.
