The meal was not enjoyable for Mo Simin.
Qing Nv also looked a bit strange.
Only Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan seemed oblivious, enjoying their meal.
This was a spiritual fish that Chen Mobai had specifically caught from the Dream Swamp. The meat was fresh and delicious, and with the boss’s secret recipe, the taste was outstanding.
“By the way, when do you plan to leave?”
Chen Mobai was naturally asking about the time to go to the Daoist Academy. The Red City Cave he was going to was not too far from Danxia City. If he took the express train, it would only take about a day and a night.
“I might have to go ahead because I’m being directly sent there and need to handle some procedures.”
Qing Nv said while eating, glancing at Chen Mobai, who was completely unaware.
“I’m the same, going ahead.”
Yan Bingxuan was also being sent to the Natural Academy by her great-aunt.
“I might be a bit late, after all, it’s close.”
Class president Mo Simin was lucky. Although her entrance exam score was average, she was still admitted to the Book Academy.
Chen Mobai asked about the others’ situations.
It was a pity for Song Zheng, who did not receive an admission notice from the Taiyuan Academy and ended up going to the same Book Academy as Mo Simin.
Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling decided to go to the Lingbao Academy together. It was said that Cao Yaling originally received an admission notice from the Star Observation Academy, but she chose to stay with Shi Jingjing.
As for Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing, the latter also wanted to go to the same academy with Xu Yuan, but was rejected by him.
In the end, under the persuasion of family and friends, Shi Yuanqing went to Taiyuan Academy, which was the second-best result in the fifth high school, only after Chen Mobai.
“Can my sister go with you? It would be nice to have a companion.”
Qing Nv suddenly asked Yan Bingxuan, who was taken aback.
Chen Mobai quickly explained that Qing Nv’s sister was Yang Jing.
The expressions of Yan Bingxuan and Mo Simin were exactly the same as Chen Mobai’s initial shock.
“No problem, my master asked me to take her with me when she left.”
Hearing this, Qing Nv nodded to Yan Bingxuan in thanks.
Originally, Qing Nv wanted Yang Jing to go to the Medical Academy, but Ning Anning said on the stage, “Doctors do not heal themselves.”
After considering, they finally decided to let Yang Jing go to the Natural Academy to find a solution to her own problems from the cultivation methods. Kong Feichen chose the Medical Academy, and with his results, he quickly received an admission notice.
Yan Qiongzhi of the Natural Academy regretted Kong Feichen’s choice, but considering that he was doing it for his sister, she expressed understanding.
As for Chen Mobai’s two opponents, Gong Xiangyu went to the True Spirit Academy, and Yan Feng went to the Mountain and Sea Academy.
They had already chosen their own paths. Unable to go to the four major Daoist academies, they did not choose the most famous Taiyuan and Pure Yang, but the academy that best suited their cultivation progress.
They were all people with firm Daoist hearts!
It was said that they were very unwilling to admit defeat.
“I hope that the next time we meet, we have all reached Foundation Establishment.”
At the final farewell, Chen Mobai gave a sincere blessing.
“Okay.”
Qing Nv smiled and spoke.
“Then we might not see each other again until ten or twenty years later.”
Yan Bingxuan wiped her mouth expressionlessly and made a cold joke. It would take her several years to enhance her ice spiritual root. By the time she was ready to establish her foundation, it might really be that long.
As for class president Mo Simin, although she lacked confidence, she still nodded.
No one didn’t want to reach Foundation Establishment.
Even if it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
After chatting for a while, the four of them went home separately.
In the following days, Chen Mobai gathered with his desk mate Lu Hongsheng, front desk Yu Shupu Jiangxue, Song Zheng, and other classmates to say goodbye.
On the other side, in the Tianhe Realm, after three days of drifting, he finally arrived at the island operated by Nanxi Market.
Here, too, there were clear signs of monster attacks, but fortunately, there were still signs of human activity.
As soon as Chen Mobai’s raft approached, it was stopped by two cultivators.
After some negotiation and explaining the situation, he was allowed to land.
“Brother, you’re really lucky. Of the sixty-six markets on the outskirts of the Dream Swamp, twenty-four were broken by monsters. There are very few who managed to escape after the island was broken. You’re the third one we’ve met here.”
A cultivator sighed after confirming that Chen Mobai was a human, not a transformed monster.
“I didn’t expect the situation to have deteriorated to this extent. I’m ashamed to say that after Qingguang Island was broken, I hid in a hole I dug for half a year. I only dared to come out when my supplies ran out.”
“Oh, it seems that among the beast horde that broke through Qingguang Island, there was no Spirit Seeking Bird.”
This cultivator’s surname was Liu, a member of a cultivation family from Nanxi Market.
Chen Mobai asked what a Spirit Seeking Bird was.
“This type of beast, like the Treasure Seeking Rat, is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy.”
“Beasts of the second rank and above already possess spiritual intelligence. They know that powerful spiritual objects can bring about their transformation, so generally powerful beasts will capture a Spirit Seeking Bird to keep by their side.”
“Every time beasts break through our cultivators’ market, they will take the Spirit Seeking Bird to every corner, sweeping clean all objects with spiritual mechanisms. We cultivators, being mobile sources of spiritual power, cannot escape the capture of the Spirit Seeking Bird.”
It was for this reason that Liu believed Chen Mobai was able to escape unscathed after the fall of Qingguang Island. It must have been because that group of beasts did not have a Spirit Seeking Bird.
Chen Mobai was truly unaware of this. No wonder he had searched Qingguang Island for half a year and only found so few items. It turned out that the beasts had already swept through once.
The magical tools he found were all overlooked by the beasts, slipped through their claws.
“Is the teleportation formation in the market still usable?”
Chen Mobai dared not continue the conversation, fearing he might reveal more flaws, and immediately changed the subject.
“It’s no longer usable, it’s been destroyed by the beasts. The Formation Master who repairs the teleportation formation won’t be available until a year from now. If you want to return to Nanxi Market, you can only take our Liu family’s boat, then transfer to the Luo family’s spirit camel on land, or you can walk.”
Liu shook his head.
Unlike the seven major sects, these cultivation families sensed the impending beast attack and immediately packed up their spirit stones and tactically relocated to the mainland via the teleportation formation, readily giving up the island.
After the beasts landed on the island, they could only destroy the buildings. As for spiritual objects, they left none behind.
The teleportation formation was the only valuable thing, but the beasts didn’t understand formations and didn’t dare to teleport to the cultivators’ main base on the mainland, so they could only destroy it.
Chen Mobai was lucky. The team returning to Nanxi Market had just arrived this month.
If he had come earlier, he would have only seen a destroyed deserted island.
“Has the Wind and Rain Fort in the center of Dream Swamp fallen? Otherwise, how could the beasts be so rampant?”
Chen Mobai’s words made Liu shake his head and sigh.
