Chapter 65 – Spirit Ascension Powder


There's only one day left until the college entrance examination!

 

Inside the classroom, the usually stern head teacher, Chai Deyun, began to passionately emphasize the importance of the college entrance examination to all the students.

 

"According to statistics, the success rate of Foundation Establishment for students of Danzhu Chixia Academy is 2%. That is to say, only two out of a hundred people can successfully establish their foundation."

 

"For students of the top ten academies, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is 20%. Taking our class of 49 people as an example, if all of them were admitted to the top ten academies, then ten people would successfully establish their foundation. What an honor that would be."

 

"If you are admitted to one of the four major Taoist institutes, that's even more incredible. Last year, the success rate of Foundation Establishment for students of the four major institutes hit a new low, but even this new low is 75%!"

 

"I don't need to say much about the benefits of successful Foundation Establishment, do I? Not only will your lifespan greatly increase, but you can also apply to the Immortal Gate for a second-order spiritual vein, or even access the Immortal Gate's spell library. You can consult more powerful spells and stronger cultivation methods in the national library."

 

"After Foundation Establishment, even if you are equivalent to the principal of your alma mater, I guess the principal would happily give up his position to you."

 

……

 

Chen Mobai listened to Chai Deyun's words, playing with his phone with his head down.

 

He was trying to purchase the "Spirit Ascension Powder" that the official flagship store of the Immortal Gate released today. Although he knew in advance that it would be on sale at 9:38 in the morning, he had been refreshing and waiting since 8:30.

 

After all, there are not a few Golden Elixir Taoist masters in the Immortal Gate. Although they have lost all interest in the Foundation Establishment treasures, what if their juniors need them?

 

However, he was lucky. Perhaps his sincerity moved the Immortal Gate. He quickly placed an order the moment the ten thousand "Spirit Ascension Powder" went on sale, and successfully grabbed one.

 

YEAH!

 

If he wasn't in the classroom, Chen Mobai almost couldn't help but jump up in joy.

 

"What's making you so happy?"

 

However, his expression caught the attention of his desk mate. Lu Hongsheng, who had completely forgotten about the previous incident, asked in a low voice.

 

"I casually browsed the Immortal Gate's website today and happened to come across a batch of newly listed 'Spirit Ascension Powder'. I was lucky and managed to grab one."

 

Chen Mobai didn't hide anything and happily showed Lu Hongsheng the unpaid purchase success page on his phone screen.

 

"Your luck is really against the heavens."

 

Lu Hongsheng's eyes widened, and he spoke with a somewhat sour tone.

 

"You really got it!?"

 

At this time, the head teacher on the stage had finished speaking and it was time for a break. The two beautiful female students in front of them who heard the conversation turned their heads in disbelief to look at Chen Mobai. The latter shrugged and let the students around him see the order page on his phone.

 

"WOW!"

 

Afterwards, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with envious eyes.

 

One student who was quick to react took out his phone and started to make a purchase. It seemed like a chain reaction, everyone started logging onto the Immortal Gate's website, hoping to grab some of the newly listed Spirit Ascension Powder.

 

"AH, I was so close, I clearly saw there were three left in stock just now!"

 

The first female student to react regretfully slapped the table.

 

"Why am I so stupid!"

 

Lu Hongsheng, who was the first to know, banged his head against the wall. If he had tried to grab one right after Chen Mobai notified him, he might have been able to get one.

 

Whether he could afford it or not was another matter, there were plenty of people who would help him pay.

 

The only one in the class who remained still was Song Zheng.

 

He believed that he could at least be admitted to one of the top ten academies. At that time, he would be able to get two of the Foundation Establishment treasures for free during his first Foundation Establishment. If he had enough Good Deeds, he could also buy them from the school to complete the Foundation Establishment treasures.

 

Therefore, Song Zheng had no interest in a mere "Spirit Ascension Powder".

 

The commotion here also attracted the head teacher who was about to pack up his textbooks and leave. When he found out that Chen Mobai had grabbed a "Spirit Ascension Powder", he couldn't help but show a different color on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he still had his first opportunity to establish his foundation in the academy, he might have wanted to buy it from this student.

 

However, some quick-thinking students had already taken out their phones and quickly spread the news.

 

After all, there were quite a few teachers in the school who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

 

DING!

 

Before the second class, Chen Mobai suddenly received a text message.

 

The sender was Chan Si.

 

【I have a senior sister who is preparing for Foundation Establishment. If you want to sell the 'Spirit Ascension Powder' you have, you can consider me.】

 

Chen Mobai didn't expect the first person to approach him to be this teacher. He had intentionally let the whole class know, after all, selling to the school's teachers is always better than selling to strangers.

 

Although the teaching staff of the Fifth High School of the Immortal Gate is average, these teachers who can be hired to teach them are all top choices in terms of moral cultivation. Selling to them, there's no need to worry about them defaulting on payment.

 

If it were another teacher, Chen Mobai would definitely hold out for a higher price.

 

But since it was Chan Si who sent the message, he considered it for a while and then replied with a 【Okay】.

 

It's a good thing that old man Ding's time has passed and he doesn't need the Foundation Establishment treasures anymore. Otherwise, if both of these teachers wanted to buy the Spirit Ascension Powder, he really wouldn't know who to sell it to.

 

After class, the head teacher, Chai Deyun, called Chen Mobai to the office.

 

He was introducing another teacher who also wanted to buy the "Spirit Ascension Powder", but Chen Mobai said he had already promised Chan Si. After hearing this, the former left regretfully.

 

"If I remember correctly, Teacher Chan has not established his foundation yet. If needed, he can purchase the complete Foundation Establishment treasures from Danzhu Academy."

 

Chai Deyun suddenly asked when the other teacher left. Chen Mobai was taken aback, then replied that Chan Si was buying it for a senior sister. After hearing this, Chai Deyun nodded in understanding.Chan Si was teaching a class in the neighboring class today, and they were both in the school. They agreed to meet after the morning classes ended.

 

"The three treasures of Foundation Establishment are usually sold at a premium of about 20% in the market. How about I transfer you 160,000 Good Deeds?"

 

In the office, Chen Mobai nodded after hearing Chan Si's words.

 

Among the three treasures, the demand for "Spirit Ascension Powder" was slightly less. After all, compared to "Vein Protection Pill" and "Qi Condensation Liquid", there were many other pills and magical tools that could replace it. Even if he gave it to Wu Wan to sell, it might not reach this price.

 

After Chen Mobai modified the delivery information of the order, he handed it over to Chan Si for payment. The latter took his card number and transferred him 160,000 Good Deeds without hesitation.

 

Seeing the new balance notification from the bank, Chen Mobai, who had never had so many Good Deeds before, was a bit shaky.

 

He laughed at himself for being inexperienced, getting so excited over just 160,000 Good Deeds.

 

"By the way, the college entrance examination is in two days. How are your preparations?"

 

Chan Si suddenly asked about this. Chen Mobai modestly smiled.

 

"There should be no problem for me to take the entrance exam for the top ten academies of the Four Great Daoist Institutions."

 

"Oh, congratulations then. But this year's entrance exam is a bit special, I'm afraid your chances of passing are slim."

 

"EH?"
