“This ring is a sword training implement.”

“Those who have achieved Sword Gang can inject their Sword Qi into it, creating a corresponding form, saving time on the cultivation of Sword Qi by Sword Cultivators.”

“However, the primary function is similar to the Puppet Technique. It can help those in the first Realm understand the condition of Sword Gang Transforming Qi in the second realm, giving them a sense of direction.”

After listening to Chen Mobai’s description, Ming Yuhua toyed around with various equipment in the Daoist Academy’s appraisal room. After a thorough examination, he finally discovered its real use.

No wonder it is called ‘Casting Sword Ring.'”

Understanding this, Chen Mobai then figured out why South Mountain thieves recognized it and couldn’t help but steal it.

One of the Golden Cliff’s apprentices might have fallen in the battle against the demonic beasts in Green Light Island, leaving behind this Casting Sword Ring.

If he manages to establish a successful foundation in the future, he could use the Casting Sword Ring to cultivate the Red Flame Sword Qi, offering a defensive cover to the Pure Yang Scroll.

“Where did you dredge up a treasure like this?”

After the appraisal, Ming Yuhua returned the Casting Sword Ring to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai simply mentioned that he bought it at Crimson City’s Antique Street.

“Isn’t that place full of fakes? You truly have a golden touch to find a gem like this.”

As a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser and Artifact Refiner, and a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Ming Yuhua often helps people authenticate their so-called ancient treasures and artifacts. Most of them usually turn out to be counterfeits, contemporary knock-offs of ancient artifacts.”

“I just got lucky. Speaking of which, have you been in touch with Yunyang Bing? I haven’t seen him in a while.”

Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic.

“A while ago, he was busy helping his professors install a Spiritual Gathering Array in a research institute. He probably got back today.”

Upon this, Ming Yuhua immediately gave Yunyang Bing a call. As expected, he was at the Daoist Academy.

There wasn’t much to talk about. Chen Mobai invited them for a meal, and the three of them had a good time.

“By the way, Chen, I’ve heard about your reputation as a farming and puppetry genius. You used to be into talismans, why the sudden change?”

Ming Yuhua teased while enjoying his meal.

All Chen Mobai could do was shake his head bitterly. Both puppetry and agriculture were considered minor disciplines at the Daoist Academy, the number of their students was even less than half of the talismanology department.

Only eleven students in their year chose puppetry.

Agriculture attracted even fewer students, only seven.

If it wasn’t for the seniors who chose these minor disciplines for the sake of credits, they wouldn’t even have enough students to form a class.

That’s why Chen Mobai stood out. Through hands-on practice, he managed to integrate and understand the theoretical knowledge, barely securing the title of ‘genius’ in these two fields.

“Perhaps I’m not gifted in talismans. Come on, let’s change the subject. Let’s drink.”

Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic again, asking about Yunyang Bing’s Formation cultivation progress.

However, Yunyang Bing just sighed.

“I’ve overestimated myself. Next year, I might have to focus on Ground Array cultivation. After I pass the Rank-2 Ground Array, I will start considering Sky Array cultivation.”

Yunyang Bing also took the exam for a Rank-1 Ground Array Master last month, at which Chen Mobai could only express envy.

The two of them are true prodigies. Even though Yunyang Bing failed at simultaneously practicing ground array and sky array, being able to complete an assessment of Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal at the age of twenty virtual years may seem ordinary at Dance Tool Dao Academy, but when compared to the whole Immortal Sect, they are indeed the most brilliant talents in array techniques.

While accompanying them for drinks, Chen Mobai also thought about finding a time to take a certification exam.

However, because he has recently focused on practicing the longevity sutra, his knowledge in puppetry technique and spirit plants has not been fully perfected. If he takes the exam now, he might fail.

For other universities, failing the exam a few times is considered normal.

But for students of the four great Daoist academies, getting a rank-1 certificate should be accomplished at the first try. Otherwise, it’s a disgrace.

Thinking about this, Chen Mobai felt he should spend more time studying and improving before going for the exam when he was more confident.

“I heard that Zhongli Tianyu broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment a while ago.”

Ming Yuhua brought up another matter, which Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing were also aware of.

Those students in the Metaphysical Class who practice “The Union of Differences” and Zhongli Tianyu have the same tutor. When the latter broke through, discussions in the group were heated, with envy, determination, and even despair leading some to choose to give up.

“His object for The Union of Differences is the Bagua Mirror of his ancestor Zhongli, so he doesn’t need to waste time searching. After successfully practicing The Union of Differences, he benefits from the Rank-4 Magic Artifact of the same bloodline, and his cultivation speed won’t slow down before Nascent Soul Formation. It is estimated that he will achieve perfect Foundation Establishment and attempt Core Formation before his hundredth birthday.”

At this point, even the usually cheerful Ming Yuhua was somewhat bitter.

To practice ‘The Union of Differences’, one needs to find an object that matches the cultivator’s life fate. A good example of this is Zhongli Tianyu, who directly got an artifact from his bloodline ancestor. His cultivation progresses half the work, double the results, and he basically will not be stuck in a bottleneck when he breaks through realms.

But if the choice is not good, it will hinder the cultivator’s progress, doing twice the work for half the results.

The prodigies of the Metaphysical Class have all forcefully practiced ‘The Union of Differences’ relying on their strong talents, but they all want the best for their objects of the same fate, at least a Rank-3 magic artifact or a spirit plant.

So in this class, the only one who has determined his object for the Union of Differences is Zhongli Tianyu.

“Finding an object for The Union of Differences is not as easy as it sounds. One of my grandfathers had amazing talents, but he spent so much time on the object for The Union of Differences that he ultimately failed in Core Formation.”

Yunyang Bing chose the Pure Yang Scroll because he had this example in his family.

“That’s right. We first practice the Pure Yang Scroll, and after reaching Foundation Establishment, we can try the Spirit Artifact Cultivation Method derived from The Union of Differences. This way, we can at least reach the door to Core Formation. As long as I can reach Core Formation in this lifetime, I will have lived up to my parents and friends.”

Ming Yuhua has a very clear plan for his cultivation path, which is also one of the reasons he chose the Refining Implement Department.

Chen Mobai didn’t feel comfortable stating that he had temporarily put aside the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, with only the Pure Yang Daoist Body still progressing steadily by consuming spirit stones.

The three of them, a small Pure Yang circle, chatted for a while on their way home after finishing their barbecue and beer.

“Once the spirit rice I planted is ripe, I will personally brew a pot of wine for you guys to taste.”

When they parted ways at the school gate, Chen Mobai’s words left Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing full of anticipation.

This spirit rice is not the Jade Bud Spirit Rice planted in the Divine Wood Sect, but the spirit rice in the half-acre experimental field allocated to the new students of agricultural studies.

Chen Mobai planted Water Clear Rice from his old home in Taixu Mountain Range.

The wine made from this rice has a sweet and pure taste, is refreshing, and like drinking sweet dew. Regular consumption also purifies the body and rejuvenates the marrow.

Because he was familiar with it from an early age, the Water Clear Rice in his half-acre experimental field grew well, with full rice ears, and was highly appreciated by his mentor Lin Wenkang. The mentor praised him for his talent in farming..
