I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 722: 431

“The quality is exceptional. Even amongst Rank-2 items, it’s among the finest. This is a bit of a waste for me,”

Hearing Yan Bingxuan’s words, Chen Mobai’s mind was put at ease.

It seems that the Snow-blowing Palace has truthfully cherished a favourable affinity with him, and the gift they had given did not embarrass him in front of his old classmates.

“Does it have any impact on your Foundation Establishment?”

Still, Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. He was afraid that the supreme quality of the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal would adversely affect Yan Bingxuan. After all, for Qi Practitioners, a lower-grade Rank-2 item would be the most appropriate.

“It’s not a problem. The Ice-Water Spirit Qi contained within this Water Mist Ice Crystal is very stable. I can extract as much as I need. If the quality is high, the success rate of my Foundation Establishment will be even greater,”

Yan Bingxuan said, her smile at that moment was so astonishing that it took Chen Mobai by surprise. After all, ever since his old classmate had transformed into an Ice Spirit Root, she had maintained the demeanor of an icy beauty. Rarely did she ever smile in his presence.

This time, her smile radiated from within; her lips slightly upturned, and her eyes squinted, bestowing her with a radiant glow, just like the warm sunshine on a winter’s day, full of brilliance yet gentle.

“Then let me congratulate you in advance on your Foundation Establishment.”

Upon hearing her words, Chen Mobai was delighted and raised a toast to her.

Yan Bingxuan nodded lightly before drinking, then she stared directly at Chen Mobai.

“What’s the matter?”

Chen Mobai thought that she had something to say and asked.

“This Rank-2 high-grade Water Mist Ice Crystal is worth tens of millions of Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sect. I might not be able to repay this debt for a while,”

Yan Bingxuan said with a serious face, which surprised Chen Mobai. He hadn’t expected that she was still pondering over this and he shook his head.

“I’ve already told you, establishing your foundation is the most important thing right now. Tens of millions of Good Deed Points might sound like a lot for Qi Practitioners, but once you have established your foundation, you’ll find that a few years of hard work will let you earn that amount.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan asked again, “What if I fail to establish my foundation?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, you’re sure to succeed.”

Chen Mobai indeed believed that with her talent and resilience, establishing a foundation wouldn’t be a challenge for her.

“I’ll take your auspicious words, and for the sake of repaying the Good Deed Points for this Water Mist Ice Crystal, I will definitely succeed in establishing my foundation,”

Yan Bingxuan also felt that her previous words were a tad inauspicious and nodded lightly with an apologetic expression.

“Even if you don’t succeed in establishing your foundation this time, don’t you still have another year left? I will help you get this Water Mist Ice Crystal, as long as you hold onto this firm belief for another year.”

Chen Mobai really hoped that Yan Bingxuan could succeed in her foundation establishment. After all, if it weren’t for her guidance in his early days of acquiring the Cold Ice Technique, he might not have been able to stand out in the entry examination and gain entrance to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.

In fact, her key assistance prompted his rise to success.

Furthermore, the two of them had known each other for over ten years, starting from their high school days; she was the friend he felt closest to among the friends he was still in contact with.

So as long as Yan Bingxuan doesn’t give up before graduation, Chen Mobai will lend a helping hand.

“I can probably find a way to work and save up enough to repay you for one of these, but if I needed two and failed in my foundation establishment, I’m afraid I really won’t be able to repay you,”

Yan Bingxuan said, with a slightly furrowed brow.

Just as Chen Mobai was about to reassure her to focus on her foundation establishment, she suddenly became serious again and said, “What if I can’t repay you, would you accept me offering myself to you?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but break into a violent coughing fit, and it took a while for him to recover.

With a giggle, Yan Bingxuan suddenly burst into laughter.

Only then did Chen Mobai realize that she was joking, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been wondering how he could decline.

“Looking at your reaction, it seemed like you were a bit reluctant,”

In front of Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan had completely set her usual cool demeanor aside, revealing her genuine adorable nature.

“Not at all, it’s just that it was quite sudden, and I was a bit caught off guard,”

There’s no way Chen Mobai would admit that he was reluctant, so he simply worded his reply delicately.

“But given your kindness towards me, it’s easy for me to misunderstand. I initially thought that you might be interested in me,”

Yan Bingxuan was remarkably straightforward today compared to her usual reticence, which was a dramatic adjustment for Chen Mobai, accustomed as he was to her calm and silent demeanor.

“I don’t have many friends. If you also fail in your foundation establishment, I wouldn’t know who to reminisce about our youthful days with years from now,”

Chen Mobai said, a rare moment of genuine expression.

At the beginning of the year, Song Zheng attempted to establish his foundation without comprehending the boundary laws, and failed.

Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, Xu Yuan, and other high school classmates also subsequently followed suit and failed in their foundation establishment.

Only Shi Yuanqing managed to make steady headway under the assurance of the boundary laws, and finally succeeded in establishing her foundation half a year ago.

Out of the entire class at the Immortal High School No. 5, only Chen Mobai, Cao Yaling, and Shi Yuanqing managed to become true cultivators establishing their foundations. This excited the principal so much that portraits of the three were hung in the school corridor. Even banners praising their accomplishments remained hanging, full of pride.

Although Chen Mobai was also friends with other high school classmates, his feelings for them were certainly not as deep as they were for his fellow students and classmates.

After Song Zheng failed his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai called to soothe his disappointment. Yet, he found that the once confident and proud classmate no longer had the same vigor of his youth.
