Chapter 2 – Turtle shell


“Sure enough, the school’s benefits are great. The Qi Refining room of the first-grade superior level can be used for free for two hours every day.”

Chen Mobai thought that during the vacation, in order to break through, his mother used the Good Deed to upgrade the spiritual veins at home to the first-grade superior level. Even so, his spiritual energy value was only 7, occasionally fluctuating to 8 or 9.

And this Immortal Gate Fifth High School was built on a third-grade inferior spiritual vein, with a total of three hundred practice rooms.

After all, these students are the future of the Immortal Gate and cannot be left hungry.

There are three hundred practice rooms, one hundred for each grade, corresponding to the first-grade lower, middle, and upper level spiritual energy.

The high school seniors are the most hardworking. The concentration of spiritual energy in the practice room has reached the top level of the first-grade.

The practice room is very simple, with a square shape and only a cushion on the middle bluestone floor.

Chen Mobai didn’t waste any time. He put his phone away, turned on the auxiliary practice recording mode, sat on the cushion, and began to refine the spiritual energy.

Since he had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining and his realm was unstable, he did not practice the Five Elements Inner Gong during these two hours. He only practiced the most basic Qi cultivation technique.

Warm currents flowed through his meridians, and the pale white spiritual energy in the practice room, like a dragon, poured into Chen Mobai’s mouth and nose, merging with his increased spiritual power, slowly blending and transforming into his true strength.

He immediately became intoxicated with this feeling, unable to extricate himself.

Time passed slowly.

“Ding!”

The soul-suppressing charm in the practice room awakened Chen Mobai from his practice. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he thought of the classmates who had been waiting in line outside for a long time and could only pick up his phone and walk out of the practice room in three steps.

As soon as he came out, a female classmate who was behind him rushed in and swiped her card to close the door.

Not only him, but also the other ninety-nine high school seniors walked out of the practice room reluctantly.

Among them was Chen Mobai’s desk mate, Lu Hongsheng.

“Hey, you’re lucky. You actually got into the first batch.”

After greeting each other, Chen Mobai found that Lu Hongsheng’s eyes were a bit gloomy and depressed.

“Do you know what I saw just now?”

“What?”

Chen Mobai knew that Lu Hongsheng couldn’t keep a secret, so he waited for him to speak.

“I saw Song Zheng enter the second-grade spiritual vein practice room.”

“The second-grade spiritual vein? Isn’t that exclusive to teachers? Who gave their practice room to Song Zheng?”

In the school, there are not only practice rooms for students, but also high-end practice rooms exclusive to teachers.

Except for the third-grade practice room exclusive to the principal who is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even teachers need to queue up for the ten second-grade practice rooms.

If Song Zheng can enter the second-grade practice room, it means that a teacher has given him their practice resources.

“Who else could it be? It must be Old Man Ding. He has failed to establish a Foundation twice, and his time is running out. He is focused on the education career and sees Song Zheng as having the hope of entering the Four Great Dao Institutes, so he gave him his share of the second-grade practice room.”

When Lu Hongsheng said these words, he was so envious, jealous, and hateful that he wished he was Song Zheng.

“It’s so unfair. The school doesn’t even care.”Between the two of them talking, several classmates nearby also heard. One male student was indignant.

Although there was no fairness in society, the upper class in school still maintained a certain level of fairness and justice.

Although the teacher gave the cultivation resources to the students, even though it was the teacher’s share, the true ownership of the cultivation room still belonged to the school. It was unfair to the students, and if it was reported to the academic affairs office, it would at least cause a stir.

“You don’t understand. I heard that Song Zheng has already formally joined Teacher Ding’s sect during the vacation and registered in the inheritance hall of the Immortal Gate Education Department. They are now master and disciple. Even if the academic affairs office interferes, the master can still give resources to the disciple.”

A female classmate said with an unwavering expression to the male classmate who wanted to report.

Song Zheng had a good appearance and was a young genius. He was quite popular among the girls.

Chen Mobai also envied him.

If he practiced for a semester on the second stage of spiritual root, he was confident that he could advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Students of this level couldn’t enter the four major academies, but it was still possible to enter the second-level academy, and the third-level academy was even easier to select.

He was also a true spiritual root, so why didn’t any teacher take notice of him?

It could only be said that even among true spiritual roots, there were high and low levels.

“You guys talk, I’m going home. See you tomorrow.”

Chen Mobai still had an enterprising spirit, although he also felt unfair in his heart, he had no intention of participating in these disputes.

After using up his free time in the school’s cultivation room, he hurried home. After all, his mother had spent a lot of money to buy a first-grade superior spiritual root for half a year, just so he could get a good score in the college entrance examination.

He couldn’t waste it.

When he got home, there was no one there.

His parents were working hard to support the family, especially since they had rented a spiritual root for half a year. They worked overtime more often and could only come home very late every day.

Chen Mobai first cooked a pot of spirit rice, and then in his mother’s workshop, he cut large yellow paper into small talisman paper with a standard length of 12 cm and a width of 6 cm.

By the time the spirit rice was cooked, Chen Mobai had already cut more than a hundred blank talisman papers.

He counted twelve sheets per pack, stacked them one by one, tied them with a special spirit rope, and put six packs into a packaging box.

This kind of large talisman paper cost one Good Deed, and after packaging, it could be sold for two Good Deeds. After conversion, it was probably one Good Deed of handmade money per box.

To subsidize the family, Chen Mobai would do some work that he was capable of.

He neatly arranged the two packaged boxes on the table, plus the eight boxes he had previously cut, which made a total of ten, filling the entire table.

He took out his phone and took dozens of photos from different angles, then selected several better ones and put them on the online trading market opened by the Immortal Gate.

According to common sense, someone would make an offer within a week, and then Chen Mobai would choose the highest bidder to sell.

Because he couldn’t afford the teleportation fee, he limited his items to face-to-face transactions in Danxia City.

The transportation in the city was developed, and his student card could ride for free.

After eating the full and plump spirit rice, Chen Mobai used a cleaning spell to clean up the pots and pans, and then entered his bedroom.Although there was a cultivation room specially built at the mouth of the underground spirit vein in his home, Chen Mobai still preferred to practice Qi Refining in his own room.

After all, as long as the door of the cultivation room was open, the first-grade spirit qi would spread to every room in the house. Even if the windows were open, the overall sealing and prohibition of the house would firmly lock the spirit qi from the earth vein within the room, so there was no need to worry about waste.

Of course, as a result, the concentration of spirit qi in the house was not as high as that in the cultivation room of the school.

But Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.

He resisted the urge to check his phone and watch live streams, not thinking about the dancing and singing fairy girls, calming his mind, and sitting cross-legged on his bed, preparing to practice. Suddenly, he saw the turtle shell on the bedside table.

“Mom really, why did she bring this unlucky thing over here!”
