Chen Mobai was in a dilemma.

Without a doubt, if he allowed the turtle treasure to manage his account at the National Library, the help it would provide would certainly surpass that of the second-rate software for assisting cultivation.

The Immortal Gate had a very strict hierarchical system. The higher one’s cultivation level, the higher the privileges one could enjoy.

And the National Library, without a doubt, was one of the core treasures of the Immortal Gate. It housed 84,000 Daoist books, claiming to encompass everything. As long as a cultivator reached a certain level, they could access the corresponding cultivation insights and techniques.

Even the seven techniques that could be cultivated to the Deification realm, passed down by the Immortal Gate, were included.

However, only those at the Elemental Infant stage could view this part of the content.

Chen Mobai knew that one should only do what was within their capabilities. He was just a small Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator. Even if the Deification technique was placed in front of him, he could only look at it but not cultivate it.

But humans are curious creatures.

If the turtle treasure really managed to upgrade his privileges to the fifth level, wouldn’t he be able to browse all the content in the National Library?

Although downloading the full version still required points, it was a Deification technique after all. He would be happy just to read the beginning.

However, he still had some sense.

He felt that he needed a foolproof plan to ensure that the Immortal Gate wouldn’t trace it back to him before proceeding with the proxy.

Chen Mobai opened his user interface at the National Library. His account name was a line of ancient poetry that he thought was cool when he was young:

“In the future, I shall be the Green Emperor!”

Looking at it now, it was a bit childish, but since only he knew about it, he had been too lazy to change it over the years.

There was a small checkmark next to his account, indicating that he had passed the real-name verification.

If this account was upgraded to a fifth-level user, the Immortal Gate would be able to find his home by the end of the day. He decided to take it slow.

After calming down, Chen Mobai got up, packed his things, and prepared to leave the Water Mansion.

Breaking through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining today was a great joy. He couldn’t be greedy and bring about his own downfall.

He packed the tin box that had wrapped the Purple Fire Pill, the Spirit Stone that had turned gray after being drained, and his own bottles and snack bags, planning to take them home for waste sorting.

With his backpack on, he was about to press the return key on his phone when he saw the three side halls that had been closed all this time.

He had been so engrossed in his cultivation these days that he had almost forgotten about the three side halls in the Water Mansion.

Leaving aside the two side halls sealed by the thunder law prohibition, the water wave prohibition formation could now be attempted to be broken.

“I’ll buy some more Green Arrow Talismans and break it in the next few days.”

Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then disappeared in a flash of silver light.

At school.

While the teacher was lecturing, Chen Mobai and most of the students were minding their own business.

In the Immortal Gate cultivation, realm was the first priority.

After all, the higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan. These knowledge could be learned when cultivation hit a bottleneck in the future.

The teachers knew this, so they didn’t care and just went on with their lectures.

Generally, there were two types of cultivators who became teachers. One was those who were old and had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, like Ding Jinglue.

The other was those who wanted to take the opportunity of teaching to revisit the four arts of techniques, pills, tools, and formations, while earning some Good Deeds. For example, their class teacher Chai Deyun and Formation teacher Chan Si. The former was stuck in his cultivation, while the latter had taken on the teaching task of Danzhu Academy. She was also studying formations, using the opportunity of teaching to further solidify her foundation.

Chen Mobai was shopping online.

The “Green Arrow Talismans” he bought last time worked very well, so he placed another order in the same shop.

This time he had money, so to ensure success, he bought ten at once. Although half of the money in his card was gone, he didn’t feel bad about it. After all, these Good Deeds were gained without any cost.

He also bought two more Wood Armor Talismans.

Spending money felt great.

Chen Mobai was also incredibly lucky, managing to snatch two bottles of “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water” that had just been put on the shelf by the Sentence Mang Dao Academy. It was a middle-grade first-level product that could quickly fill up the cultivation level after a breakthrough.

For example, Chen Mobai had just broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining. If he cultivated the Five Elements Technique by absorbing spiritual energy on his own, it would take about two years to reach the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining and attempt to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

But by taking the “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water”, this process could be significantly shortened.

According to the prescription, taking one bottle and cultivating in a place with abundant spiritual energy could achieve the efficiency of ten days in one day.

That is to say, if Chen Mobai took this “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water” every day, he could shorten the two years to 70 days and reach the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

Many so-called young geniuses were “fed” with this “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water”.

However, there were pros and cons.

Firstly, the price was not cheap, costing 200 Good Deeds per bottle.

Secondly, taking this “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water” to shorten the cultivation time would naturally result in an unstable foundation. The time needed to break through the bottleneck would be much longer than those cultivators who improved step by step through cultivation.The bottleneck of minor realms was manageable, but if it came to the major hurdle of Foundation Establishment, if the foundation was unstable, failure was almost guaranteed.

Chen Mobai hadn’t initially planned to buy this, but after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, he felt that if he put in some effort, he might have a chance to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the college entrance examination.

The latter stage of Qi Refining was a completely different story. It basically guaranteed admission to the top ten college palaces. Even if the foundation was a bit unstable, he could find ways to make up for it in the future.

Qingping Shangren had always said, realm comes first.

This Elemental Infant master had experienced over three hundred battles since he started cultivating, and he had never been defeated. What he relied on was his high realm.

When he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he fought against Qi Refining cultivators. When he reached the Golden Elixir stage, he defeated those at the Foundation Establishment stage. After reaching the Elemental Infant stage, he only took action against Golden Elixir Taoist masters, never engaging in combat with cultivators of the same realm.

Chen Mobai felt that what Qingping Shangren said made a lot of sense.

In his battle at the Water Mansion, if he hadn’t been in the middle stage of Qi Refining and the old man was only at the third level of Qi Refining, he might not have been able to win.

Therefore, improving one’s realm was the most important thing.

That’s why he decided to buy the “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water”.

He was also lucky. This was a best-selling item. Every time it was put on the shelf, it would be sold out within a minute. Each account was limited to five bottles. If Chen Mobai hadn’t been refreshing the official flagship store of Jumang Dao Academy just then, he might not have been able to get it.

It was a pity that he was short on funds, otherwise he could have bought all five bottles. Even if he didn’t use them himself, he could resell them and make a small profit of a hundred Good Deeds.

As he was feeling regretful, Chen Mobai heard the bell signaling the end of class.

In the school’s cultivation room, he didn’t watch Qingping Shangren’s Five Elements Cultivation lecture video this time. Instead, he searched for videos on breaking through restrictions. Relying on his high privileges, he found over three hundred methods to break through restrictions similar to the Water Ripple Restriction.
