Chapter 138: Transferring to Pure Yang Volume

Chen Mobai was worried about the safety of Qi Rui and the others, but unfortunately, communication in the Tianhe Realm was inconvenient, unlike Earth Star where he could simply make a phone call to inquire. However, his worries were futile; he could only continue to strengthen himself.

After consuming a tube of Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, he continued to circulate the Five Elements Art to refine spiritual energy. As the night passed, Chen Mobai felt his spiritual power grow, prompting him to consider switching his cultivation to the "Pure Yang Scroll." It was certainly true that the cultivation of the Pure Yang Dharma Body was better started sooner rather than later. Coincidentally, he still had 5 spirit stones, enough to attempt the cultivation of the One Yang Body.

However, Chen Mobai dared not rashly attempt to switch cultivation methods on his own; it would be best to have guidance from an experienced teacher. He took out his phone and checked his contacts. The two individuals with the highest cultivation levels were Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Dao Academy and Bian Yiqing from Wuqi Dao Academy. However, Chen Mobai did not dare call the former; he could only contact Bian Yiqing, whom he had just befriended after the cultivation competition.

"Teacher Bian, I plan to switch my cultivation..." After drafting a long message describing his situation and sending it, Chen Mobai waited for a response.

A few minutes later, Bian Yiqing sent a message back. "I cultivate the 'Dream-Startling Melody,' so I cannot provide specific guidance, but I can ask around for you."

Chen Mobai replied with a thank-you emoji, then began crafting talismans while waiting for news. He took out a stack of pre-cut, long, rectangular talisman papers, picked up the green bamboo brush given by Shen Juanxiu, dipped it in the simplest talisman ink he had made, and began drawing. What he drew, naturally, was the Life-Reviving Talisman, a basic talisman used by the Divine Wood Sect to recruit rogue cultivators.

As the first stroke landed, he felt good. However, after the second stroke, he felt something was off, but he could only grit his teeth and continue drawing. After he finished drawing, the talisman paper contained no spiritual energy. Hoping against hope, Chen Mobai picked it up and injected spiritual power to activate it. With a "poof," a puff of green smoke rose, and the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, turning into ashes. It failed!

A first failure was completely normal. Chen Mobai thought this, and his mood remained unaffected. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink again, and began drawing on the second talisman paper... After failing twelve consecutive times and using up an entire stack of talisman papers, Chen Mobai's hands were trembling slightly. The confidence he had painstakingly built up from winning first place in the cultivation competition was slightly shaken. Before drawing, he had carefully considered everything multiple times, and the stroke order of the runes was already clear in his mind. He had thought that with such a basic first-tier low-grade talisman, trying a dozen times would surely result in at least one success. Yet, to his surprise, he kept failing.

Just as he was about to grab another stack of talisman papers, preparing to overcome this hurdle with perseverance, his phone rang. It was Bian Yiqing, calling him personally.

"Go to Danzhu Academy and find True Man Scarlet Robe."

"Is the True Man going to personally guide me?" Chen Mobai's voice was filled with excitement when he heard this.

"Within my Wuqi Dao Academy, only True Man Shaoyang cultivates the Pure Yang Scroll and has formed a golden core, but he has been in seclusion for ten years. Coincidentally, True Man Scarlet Robe is his junior disciple. I explained your situation, and the True Man also has a good impression of you, so he is willing to spare some time to offer guidance."

"Thank you, Teacher Bian." Chen Mobai knew very well that if he had tried to seek guidance from True Man Scarlet Robe on his own, he would certainly not even have gotten an audience with him. This opportunity must have arisen because Bian Yiqing reported Chen Mobai's situation to the Dao Academy, and then the Dao Academy conveyed it to True Man Scarlet Robe.

"You're welcome. Work hard on your cultivation." After exchanging pleasantries, Bian Yiqing hung up the phone. He had already left Danxia City soon after the cultivation competition ended. Bian Yiqing had been delayed for quite some time because of the entrance examination. His two disciples' Jade Phoenix Opera Troupe had already toured two more immortal cities and blessed lands after their performance in Danxia City. However, if Chen Mobai were to meet Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuyuan again now, he would have to address them as senior sister and senior brother.

Although he was a bit reluctant to leave this peaceful and quiet country life, for the sake of his own Grand Dao, Chen Mobai ultimately had to depart. The next day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to his grandparents. Though the two elders were reluctant, they knew their grandson's future was not there. Tang Pancui, however, felt a bit unfulfilled. During this period, she had been the most popular woman in the village, with many people seeking her advice on raising successful children. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of returning home in glory, and even though it was thanks to her son's achievements, she thoroughly enjoyed it. On the day he left, his grandparents packed a large bag full of mountain produce and rare fruits for Chen Mobai.

On the long journey to Danxia City, Chen Mobai disembarked outside the city, as he needed to transfer to another bus to reach Danzhu Academy. He also told Tang Pancui about this, and when she heard that a Golden Core True Man was going to guide her son's cultivation, her eyes widened. She, in fact, urged him to hurry and not keep the True Man waiting.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Danzhu Academy, a familiar person was already waiting for him.

"Hello, Teacher Chan."

"Get in." Chan Si, riding a bicycle, patted the back seat. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but eventually, under the astonished gazes of many people at the school gate, sat on the bicycle's back seat and was taken into the campus by Chan Si.

"You're here," True Man Scarlet Robe called out from a grand office at Danzhu Academy as he sat on a sofa, sipping tea, and saw Chen Mobai walk in.

"Greetings, True Man."

"Hmm, I hear you want to switch to cultivating the 'Pure Yang Scroll'?"

"Yes, I believe everyone should have dreams, and my dream is to achieve Dao Transformation."

"Isn't that wrong? That was your opponent's dream last time, wasn't it? How can your dream change every day?"

"Didn't the dream of attending Jumang Dao Academy with friends already fail? Besides, the dreams of becoming the master of an immortal sect and achieving Dao Transformation are not contradictory; in fact, they complement each other. If I achieve Dao Transformation, becoming the master of an immortal sect would be at my discretion."

"That makes sense." After listening to Chen Mobai, True Man Scarlet Robe nodded. He then inquired about Chen Mobai's understanding of the "Pure Yang Scroll." After all, among the countless cultivators in the Immortal Sect, many students, after entering the Dao Academy and schools, were blinded by the renown of the Dao Transformation Great Art. Overestimating themselves, they disregarded their incompatible spiritual root talents and stubbornly insisted on cultivating it, ultimately failing to even cross the threshold and pointlessly wasting the prime years of their lives. In contrast, thanks to Old Ancestor Yuanyang's pioneering work, at least everyone could get started with the "Pure Yang Scroll."

Chen Mobai answered every question without reservation. Facing a Golden Core True Man, there was no need to hide anything, so he fully disclosed his spiritual root talent and the reasons for wanting to switch to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.

"Although your probability of achieving Dao Transformation is less than one in ten thousand, since you've decided, I won't bother to discourage you. Furthermore, given your spiritual root aptitude, if you wish to establish your foundation or form a golden core, cultivating the Pure Yang Dharma Body might very well be the best path."

True Man Scarlet Robe's words left Chen Mobai speechless; his spiritual roots were indeed somewhat lacking.
