Chapter 129: Victory in the Duel

Chen Mobai genuinely didn't know this.

"The *Cantong Qi* and *Pure Yang Scroll* of the Wuqi Dao Academy were both passed down by Elder Yun Ya, one of the Five Ancestors of the Immortal Sect."

"It's said that before Elder Yun Ya came to Earth Star, he was a Grand Elder of a sect called the Dan Ding School. These two cultivation methods were the fundamental legacies of that school. He himself cultivated the *Cantong Qi* and achieved Divine Transformation through it."

"However, the *Pure Yang Scroll* requires a Pure Yang Constitution, making its transmission difficult, so it remained in his hands. Only after a thousand years of cultivation in the Immortal Sect did Elder Yuanyang succeed in mastering it."

Qing Nü recounted these details as if they were her personal treasures, making Chen Mobai nod repeatedly in agreement.

"Where did you hear all this? I've never heard any of it."

"I saw it mentioned in some anonymous posts on a forum while I was browsing. Since it involved Divine Transformation ancestors, it left a deep impression on me."

Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel at the hidden talents among netizens.

"It seems my first goal needs to be changed to the Wuqi Dao Academy."

"Yes, the Wuqi Dao Academy, though low-key and often considered one of the 'bottom four' in the Immortal Sect, actually possesses extraordinary heritage. True Lord Scarlet Robe graduated from this academy. Our local Danzhu and Chixia Academies can also be considered its branches."

Qing Nü nodded repeatedly, approving of Chen Mobai's choice.

After they chatted for a while longer, Chen Mobai saw the sky darkening and walked Qing Nü out.

"You should head back first. I'll just wait for a ride myself."

They arrived at the school gate. Since the finals were three days away, Qing Nü didn't plan to stay in a hotel for three days waiting; it would be a waste of both money and time.

"I don't mind the extra time."

Chen Mobai shook his head and didn't turn back until he had watched Qing Nü get into her vehicle.

After returning to his cave abode, he first opened the National Library and typed "Cantong Qi" into the search bar.

Immediately, hundreds of precise results appeared.

*Cantong Qi*, *Cantong Qi: Chapter Divisions*, *Cantong Qi: Annotations*, *Cantong Qi: Textual Research*, *Cantong Qi: Exegesis*, *Cantong Qi: Chapter Notes*, *Cantong Qi: Sentences*, *Cantong Qi: Variant Readings*...

Chen Mobai directly clicked on the *Cantong Qi* that had the most views.

Sure enough, it was the original text of a Divine Transformation cultivation method.

*Cantong Qi*: Uses Heaven and Earth as the cauldron, Yin and Yang as the foundation, Water and Fire as the transforming mechanism, the Five Elements as assistance, and profound essence as the dantian base. Through the integration of human and celestial, it draws true Yang from the heavens to refine the Yin energy within the human body, ultimately achieving Qi Refining to Divine Transformation, with merits comparable to creation itself!

The opening general outline was extremely mystical. Chen Mobai compared it to the *Pure Yang Scroll* and found both were highly touted.

As for Qing Nü's claim that both cultivation methods originated from the same source, with his current realm, he truly couldn't tell.

However, the *Cantong Qi* required a staggering 300 million download points, which made Chen Mobai click his tongue in amazement.

He wanted to try downloading the Qi Refining section to see what wonders it held.

But he found that, unlike the *Pure Yang Scroll*, the *Cantong Qi* only had a general outline.

"That shouldn't be right. Could it be that one can only learn the foundational parts of the *Cantong Qi* by going to the Wuqi Dao Academy?" he murmured to himself. Chen Mobai backed out and opened other cultivation methods with "Cantong Qi" in their titles. He read the first two or three pages available, but found himself even more confused and couldn't understand them at all.

At that moment, Chen Mobai began to wonder if his comprehension skills were lacking.

However, his greatest strength was his ability to understand himself.

If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't bother reading it.

Anyway, once he entered the Wuqi Dao Academy, the teachers there would surely teach it.

Putting down his phone, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on his bed and began to recover his spiritual energy, which had been completely depleted from using the Scarlet Flame Three Swords Talisman.

If he relied solely on meditation, it might take a full day. This was a crucial moment; he couldn't afford to waste so much time.

He took out a "Recovery Talisman" and immediately pressed it onto his body.

A first-grade superior talisman was indeed different.

Chen Mobai quickly felt his empty dantian begin to fill up, and the previous weakness in his body slowly vanished. On the surface, he had completely returned to normal.

However, upon careful examination with his spiritual sense, he found that his body's reactions were still a bit slower than at his peak.

This was because he had also used a drop of his vital blood when activating the Scarlet Flame Three Swords Talisman, leading to a slight depletion of his qi and blood essence.

But none of this posed a major problem.

When Ning Anning helped him recover on the arena, she had already prescribed a remedy, saying that using two Blood Replenishing Talismans and two Qi Replenishing Talismans would lead to a quick recovery.

Danzhu Academy was a school renowned for its talismans and was also the largest talisman supplier in Danxia City. As long as it wasn't an obscure talisman, students generally cultivated it there.

The next day, Chen Mobai asked Chan Si for help.

Upon hearing this, Chan Si immediately leveraged his connections, found senior students specializing in Blood Replenishing Talismans and Qi Replenishing Talismans, bought two of each, and personally delivered them to Chen Mobai with Shen Jianxiu.

After thanking them, Chen Mobai secluded himself in his cave abode, focusing entirely on recovering his qi and blood.

Nearly a month of continuous combat had further refined his spiritual energy. But compared to his Qi Refining realm, his growth in spiritual sense was even more astonishing.

Perhaps it was the abundance of joy and satisfaction he had experienced recently, or perhaps his foundation was so profound that he was particularly suited for the "Nourishing Thought and Forging Spirit Art." During his meditation the night before the finals, he unexpectedly visualized another green sprout.

Since there were no distinct levels, Chen Mobai wasn't sure what realm his spiritual sense had reached.

However, he could feel that it was easier for him to control spiritual energy and refine Qi Replenishing Elixir.

Time flowed like water.

Soon, it was the day of the finals.

Chen Mobai and Yang Jing stood on the arena, bowing to each other.

"Begin!"

After the referee teacher announced and stepped down, neither of them immediately moved to engage in combat.

"My sister won't let me use the Two-Fold Divine Technique. If that's the case, I definitely won't be able to withstand your purple flame talismans," Yang Jing suddenly spoke.

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. He had also looked into the Two-Fold Divine Technique, but unfortunately, his "Great Emperor Qing" account didn't have enough authority to find relevant information.

"Don't worry. Since you're Qing Nü's sister, there's no need for us to fight to the death. How about we just use spells, without any talismans, and you don't use any forbidden techniques either?"

Although Chen Mobai only had one Scarlet Flame Three Swords Talisman left, his ability to advance through the rounds and reach the finals relied on a perfect combination of spells and various talismans.

Without talismans, his strength would be significantly reduced.

If it were anyone else, a Qi Refining stage seven cultivator facing Yang Jing, an anomalous spirit root at Qi Refining stage nine, purely with spells, there would certainly be no chance of victory.

But when Chen Mobai said this, everyone felt that he was being fair.

"This person is a natural talent for combat; all the way here, he's never taken more than a minute to defeat weaker opponents, and winning against stronger ones is his norm. He can be called a master of combat."

In the audience stands, True Lord Scarlet Robe suddenly spoke.

The representatives of the four great Dao Academies felt their hearts sink upon hearing this.
