Wang Xingyu was not suitable for practicing the Synchronous Contract due to his No-Form Puppet deduction.

However, he was a man of firm character. Not only did he rely on his own talent to master the basics of the Synchronous Contract, but he also emulated Zhong Li Tianyu, transforming a third-order magic treasure inherited from his family into his own Synchronous Object.

This magic treasure was a bronze bowl, capable of holding the water of the five lakes and four seas.

Moreover, it could also be used as a medicinal pool for refining Spirit Water, which was twice as effective.

But according to the No-Form Puppet deduction, Wang Xingyu’s Synchronous Object should ideally be a flying sword. However, this was his own choice. After all, compared to the second-order flying sword he could obtain, a third-order magic treasure was more tempting.

Chen Mobai had just received a million Good Deeds from Shen Juanxiu and was not short of money. He directly pre-ordered a hundred top-grade first-order Spirit Waters from Wang Xingyu.

If it weren’t for the expiration date, he would have bought a year’s worth.

“Old Chen, don’t embarrass us during the make-up exam,” Ming Yihua joked as they parted ways.

In the entire Divine Transformation class, only Chen Mobai had failed a subject, which had been a source of ridicule for him throughout the holiday.

“I was careless last year and didn’t review. This year, I studied hard on the textbook of talisman scripts at home. I guarantee there will be no problem,” Chen Mobai said with full confidence.

“Hahaha, that’s good. But if you fail the make-up exam, you’ll probably be laughed at by the seniors for a whole year,” Ming Yihua laughed heartily, patting Chen Mobai on the shoulder before they all parted ways at the school gate.

Two others, like Chen Mobai, had rented independent caves outside the school.

After returning to his long-abandoned log cabin, Chen Mobai made a trip to the Tianhe Realm.

He checked on his sun-drying rice, confirmed that it hadn’t been stolen by birds or insects, and returned satisfied.

In a couple of days, when the rice was properly dried, it could be husked.

He had already bought the husking tool, a multifunctional version worth 2000 Good Deeds.

Although the Dao Institute had one, and he could easily borrow it with his connections with Lin Wenkang, he thought it would be better to buy one considering his future plans in the Tianhe Realm.

In addition to the husking tool, he also bought various tools for brewing.

After ordering everything he needed, Chen Mobai began to focus on his studies.

In college, there was a chance to retake the exam at the beginning of the next semester for the subject he had failed. His failure in the talisman script course had become a joke, and his title as the Sleeper was barely holding up.

Even without the Enlightenment Pill, he had planned to review the talisman script course during the holiday.

Although he had thoroughly understood all the textbook knowledge of the first and second grades and learned part of the third grade, he was afraid that the examiners might come up with a tricky talisman script not in the textbook.

During his review, he also felt the concern of his classmates.

Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu, the two top students in the talisman script course, even came to deliver their notes to him after learning that he had returned, and asked if he needed tutoring.

Moved, Chen Mobai opened a jar of wine he had brought from Qingshan Village and treated them to a meal.

“Class President Si, Committee Member Zhuang, rest assured, I will definitely pass the make-up exam this time.”

“I deeply reflected on myself during the holiday and realized that I was too casual in the talisman script class. This year, I will study hard and not drag the class down.”

After hearing Chen Mobai’s heartfelt words, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu were somewhat skeptical.

Because they also doubted Chen Mobai’s true level.

“Alright, as long as you have this ambition, we can rest assured. There are five others who failed, we need to care for them too.”

After drinking, Si Guanyu did not forget his duty as class president.

Last year’s exam was a bit difficult. In addition to the three who failed due to nepotism, including Chen Mobai, two others were also stumped and needed to retake the exam.

It was precisely because many people in the class had failed that Chen Mobai’s failure did not attract much attention. Otherwise, his title as the Sleeper would have been exposed long ago.

Those who failed were all from their class, so Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan expressed their concern and bid farewell.

Since Chen Mobai returned to the Dao Institute early and there was still half a month before the make-up exam, he husked and brewed the seven acres of Spirit Rice he had planted in the Giant Wood Ridge while studying.

During this period, under the guidance of Lu Jun from the Spirit Plant Department, he completed the takeover of the Xiaoyang Ridge Spirit Vein.The senior brother who cultivated the medicinal field here last year packed up his tools and left immediately after the settlement of Lu Jun’s contribution points for the two acres of Condensation Dew Grass. He took the hint that the yield per acre was not satisfactory.

“Junior Brother Chen, from now on, this area within twenty miles is your territory.”

After playing the villain, Lu Jun cheerfully handed over the Mountain Formation left by his predecessor to Chen Mobai.

This was a second-order Formation, combined with the spiritual veins of Xiaoyang Ridge, it could even withstand the attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a while.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for your hard work. This pot of spirit wine was brewed by me before I joined the sect. You can take it back and try it.”

The wine Chen Mobai gave away was naturally from Qing Mountain Village.

He had bought up all the wine his grandfather had made that was available for sale, after all, he had two storage bags.

After buying his family’s wine, he also picked out some of the better quality ones from other families in the village and bought them. He filled a storage bag with a total of one hundred jars.

The wine he gave to Lu Jun was naturally the good kind.

Just like the one he had served Ming Yihua and the others a few days ago, it was a two-year-old yellow wine.

This was already the best Chen Mobai could buy. The rest, with more years, were kept by the villagers for their own consumption, or for when they had guests at home.

The ones for sale were all newly brewed in the last two years.

“Alright, thank you, Junior Brother Chen.”

Lu Jun took it as a polite gesture from Chen Mobai, and left with a smile, carrying the pot of wine.

Two days later, Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo, who had received the message, also came to Xiaoyang Ridge.

When the three met, Chen Mobai was naturally generous.

He opened five jars of good wine directly and they had a great time drinking.

“Good wine, Junior Brother Chen, you’ve gone to great lengths.”

Qi Rui was a wine lover. As soon as he opened the jar and smelled it, he knew this wine was extraordinary, completely different from what he usually drank.

“You’re about to participate in the sect’s grand competition. Let’s toast to your success. I hope you can make it into the top twenty-four and be promoted to a true disciple.”

Every year, the Shenmu Sect held a grand competition, which all Qi Refining disciples under sixty could participate in.

Qi Rui was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and was included in the Talisman Department’s roster. Naturally, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity to become a true disciple for the Foundation Establishment Pills ten years later.

Xi Jinghuo also signed up to hone his skills.

Only Chen Mobai, feeling that his level was not enough and not wanting to waste talismans and time, chose to give up directly.
