“I suggest that we take turns, with only one person coming to help with the spiritual infusion each day. This way, we can save everyone’s time.”

The first matter discussed upon the establishment of the small group was unanimously approved.

Ming Yihua also agreed with this proposal and was temporarily elected as the spokesperson for the Divine Transformation team.

He seemed quite pleased and immediately offered to perform the spiritual infusion for everyone the next day.

After leaving the No.1 building on the top of Chicheng Mountain, everyone went out for a meal. After eating, Ming Yihua invited Chen Mobai and Yun Yangbing to continue the gathering.

“Your mentor is also Taoist Master Shaoyang, isn’t it?”

When only the three of them were left, Ming Yihua was the first to ask.

“Indeed, it is said that he has been in seclusion for ten years, trying to break through from the third level of the Golden Elixir to the fourth.”

Yun Yangbing seemed to have heard quite a bit, speaking with a hint of worry.

In the Wuqi Taoist Academy, only Taoist Master Shaoyang formed his Golden Elixir with pure Yang energy. If they chose to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, they could only be assigned under his tutelage.

“I heard that Taoist Master Shaoyang has already reached the fourth level of the Golden Elixir. The reason he is still in seclusion is because of the cultivation of his Pure Yang Body. I wonder if we will get to see our mentor in the ten years we will be at the academy.”

Ming Yihua also looked helpless.

“From now on, we are all brothers of the same sect. Let’s keep in touch.”

Seeing the atmosphere becoming melancholic, Chen Mobai immediately changed the subject and raised his glass. The other two also clinked glasses with him.

“By the way, what courses do you plan to take?”

Ming Yihua asked first, then talked about his own plans.

“I want to become a refiner, so I will major in ‘Refining’ and ‘Treasure Appraisal’, and minor in ‘Spiritual Material Identification’, ‘Ore Extraction’, ‘Metallurgical Engineering’, and ‘History of Magical Instruments’.”

Hearing Ming Yihua’s choices, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

The Wuqi Taoist Academy offers a total of 18 major courses and 72 elective courses.

The credits for major courses are 3 points, and for elective courses are 2 points.

The academy requires each student to complete 10 credits per year.

If Ming Yihua takes all these courses and passes all of them at the end of the term, he could earn 14 credits in a year, making him a super scholar.

Chen Mobai only plans to take 10 credits, as he also needs to spend time in the Shenmu Sect and doesn’t have much time to study.

“‘Spiritual Material Identification’ and ‘History of Magical Instruments’ are closely related to treasure appraisal, and ‘Ore Extraction’ and ‘Metallurgical Engineering’ are the basics of refining. My two major courses and four elective courses are all carefully considered. Do you want to join me? It would be nice to have company in class.”

Ming Yihua was very enthusiastic, but both of them shook their heads and declined.

Yun Yangbing expressed his thoughts: “I want to study formations, so I will probably choose related courses like ‘Geology’, ‘Environmental Science’, ‘Atmospheric Science’, ‘Astronomy’, and ‘Ley Line Studies’.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai stared at him in surprise and couldn’t help but ask.

“Are you planning to study both ‘Earth Formations’ and ‘Heavenly Formations’ at the same time?”

The way of formations is divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Formations can be based on people, mountains, rivers, ley lines, or the stars and phenomena of the heavens.

Among them, Earth Formations are complex, Heavenly Formations are vast, and Human Formations lie in between.

Many people who study formations will choose one of the three to start with, and only when their formation cultivation hits a bottleneck will they think of practicing the other two types of formations for cross-reference.

Yun Yangbing’s decision to challenge the highest difficulty by studying both Earth and Heavenly Formations from the start is truly a testament to his confidence as a student admitted to the Wuqi Taoist Academy.

“Old Chen, what about you?”

Chen Mobai saw the other two’s gazes turn to him and hesitated for a moment.

He originally planned to major in “Talisman Making” and then take related electives such as “Extraction of Talisman Ink and Pigments”, “Solidification Science”, “Techniques of Talisman Paper Making”, “Calligraphy”, “Layout of Talisman Paper”, etc., aiming to scrape by with 10 credits each year.

But seeing his fellow disciples working so hard, he couldn’t bring himself to admit that he wanted to take it easy.

Is this the attitude of a student who has rightfully earned a place in the academy? School hasn’t even started yet, and they’re already working hard.

“I will probably major in ‘Talisman Making’ and ‘Puppetry’, and for electives, I will choose two related courses for each.”

“Puppetry? Why would you choose such an unpopular subject?”

Hearing his words, Ming Yihua looked surprised.

“I’ve always liked robots and figurines since I was a kid. Plus, using puppets can replace me in exploring dangerous places. Also, after seeing that mysterious faceless puppet today, I feel that this subject has a lot of potential.”

Chen Mobai didn’t lie. He was indeed attracted by the faceless puppet, thinking about whether he could use it to simulate his own cultivation of the Longevity Sutra and the Two Phases Power.

In the future, he would definitely delve deeper into the Tianhe Realm. Learning puppetry seemed to be very useful.

The more he thought about it, the more right it felt. Chen Mobai couldn’t help but slap the table.

“Here’s to the ten years of hard work we will put in at the academy.”

The three of them drained their glasses, drinking quite a bit.

“Old Chen, which dormitory are you staying in?”

After the meal, Ming Yihua and Yun Yangbing saw Chen Mobai walking in the opposite direction and couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m used to living alone, so I rented a small house off-campus.”

“Is that allowed?”

Yun Yangbing was very interested when he heard this. He also preferred a quiet environment, and studying formations required a large area. It would be best to have his own experimental site.

After parting ways, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house.He looked up and saw the lights brightly lit in Meng Huang’er’s hilltop villa. It seemed she had already returned.

After cleaning up, he lay on the bed and took out his phone.

After mentioning his intention to learn puppetry, Chen Mobai suddenly came up with a good idea.

In the Tianhe realm, he didn’t trust anyone, so he had to do the woodcutting business all by himself.

Although it was very profitable and the demand from Xinyao Hall was great, he had to cultivate and prevent being discovered, which was a bit overwhelming.

If he could use puppets to replace him in chopping wood, wouldn’t that perfectly solve the problem?

With this thought, Chen Mobai couldn’t lie still.

He began to search online for puppets that could replace manual labor.

However, the search results made him curse the unscrupulous merchants.

The cheapest puppet that could operate a first-order magical instrument and simply recognize commands was nearly 100,000 Good Deeds.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have that much money, but the idea of investing so much at once made Chen Mobai feel a bit heartache.

He couldn’t understand why puppets were so expensive.

He couldn’t help but directly consult the shopkeeper.

After chatting, he found out that it was because he had added the keyword “recognize commands” when he was searching.

Puppets were not expensive, but those that could recognize commands were equipped with artificial intelligence chips. These chips were integrated on top of spirit stones, which were definitely not cheap.

So, it was the spirit stones that were expensive!

Chen Mobai understood.

But after understanding, he felt it was even less worth it.
