BXBX NOVEL Chapter 222: Becoming an Apprentice 1
Chen Mobai was floating in the middle of his room.
He saw himself sitting on the cushion, his whole body radiating with a translucent glow.
This feeling of observing himself was very peculiar, making him joyfully rotate around his body.
He then permeated his out-of-body divine sense into his own body, the experience was even more wonderful.
He saw every detail of his body operating the Immortal Cultivation Technique, and also noticed the slightly damaged water and wood organs-his kidneys and gall bladder-due to cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body.
However, his heart and the Triple Burner were like oil in a blazing fire, exuding vigorous and robust energy.
Just when he wanted to delve deeper to verify the hidden Five Elements Spiritual Root within him, a wave of exhaustion rushed over him.
After all, he had just completed his Foundation Establishment, and his divine consciousness intensity couldn’t support a long out-of-body experience.
Chen Mobai calmed his excited emotions and returned his divine sense to his body.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the fivefold increased Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qj Sea, he couldn’t help but clench his fist.
The final stage of Foundation Establishment, the out-of-body divine sense, was much simpler than he had imagined.
It seemed like he had already reached the threshold of this stage, and the effects of the Foundation Building Pill merely gave him a gentle push, enabling him to easily cross this barrier, overcoming what was supposed to be the most difficult phase of Foundation Establishment.
After the out-of-body divine sense experience, his body and spiritual power were unified under his control.
With the unity of essence, Qj, and spirit, Chen Mobai easily advanced to the tenth level of the Immortal Cultivation Technique, successfully establishing his foundation.
The rest of the Foundation Building Pill’s effects were not wasted. He directly guided them with his divine sense into his kidney and gall bladder, giving them a good boost.
To be on the safe side, Chen Mobai waited for three more days, making sure his realm was stable, before finally standing up contentedly.
“Checkout!”
At the front desk of Building 9, the same diligent student sisters saw Chen Mobai, brimming with vitality, put his student ID on the table. Their faces showed surprise.
“You, did you succeed!?”
“I managed to break through by sheer luck.”
Chen Mobai remained modest as ever, but the joy and pleasure in his eyebrows clearly told the two girls about his inner happiness.
“Congratulations, junior brother.”
“Congratulations, senior brother!”
Hearing this, the two girls simultaneously stood up, lifted their right hands to their chest level, and bowed halfway in an ancient ritual.
This was a tradition passed down by Yunya Daoist, the founder of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, a ceremony to congratulate a disciple on their successful Foundation Establishment, officially entering the path of Immortal Cultivation.
When Chen Mobai first joined the academy, he was taught this ancient ritual and the method to return the gesture.
“I hope that the next one to establish the foundation will be my senior sisters.”
He opened his left hand, placed it flat on his chest, and slightly lifted it with a smile in return.
“Thank you, senior brother.”
After Chen Mobai had checked out, under the admiring gaze of the two girls, he walked out of Building 9 into the sunlight.
He had successfully established his foundation!
This had been his dream since childhood, as well as the dream of his father, mother, maternal grandparents, and even his faintly remembered paternal grandparents.
The whole Chen family had a True Cultivator who had established his foundation over a hundred years ago, who was Chen Mobai’s paternal grandfather.
Unfortunately, he died in a state of cultivation deviation during one of his seclusion sessions.
After the six offspring of this great grandfather Chen separated, the-third-in-line eventually became Chen Mobai.
If he wished, he could instantly reorganize the Chen family.
But that would be too boring. Besides, in modern society, families are already quite rare. Usually, once the old master dies, they choose to split up.
Right, he hadn’t informed his family of the good news yet!
Standing on the steps of Building 9, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the most important thing and couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
He took out his phone and dialed Chen Xinglan’s number.
“Hello, son, why did you suddenly think of calling me?”
It had been a while since he heard his father’s voice on the phone. Ever since he failed Foundation Establishment, his father and Tang Panchui had been traveling all over the country.
They knew that Chen Mobai had reached a crucial point in his training, so they wouldn’t usually make the call themselves unless it was truly necessary.
“Hello, hello, hello, son, why aren’t you speaking? Your father and I are currently in Rotten Ax City. The wishing talismans here are said to be very effective. Your father and I plan to buy one to wish for your successful Foundation Establishment…”
Before Chen Mobai could answer, Tang Panchui’s voice was already heard from the other end of the line, as if she had snatched Chen Xinglan’s phone.
“Mom, Dad, I’ve established my foundation!”
His straightforward sentence made Tang Panchui, who had been chattering nonstop, immediately fall silent as if she had been muted.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
After a long pause.
“You … you’re not joking…”
Her trembling words indicated disbelief.
“Yes!”
His resounding reply caused Tang Panchui to let out a scream on the other end of the phone!
“Ah…”
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but move the phone away from his ear; her voice was just too loud.
“Son, where are you? We’re coming to find you right now.”
Once her excitement had passed, Chen Xinglan immediately asked. Chen Mobai could also hear Tang Panchui’s cries of joy on the other end of the line.
“Of course, I’m on Crimson Mountain. But you don’t need to come. I’ll go back to Red Sandstone City when there’s a vacation at the end of the school year. By the way, please notify my grandparents, uncles and aunts. We’ll have a gathering then.”
After ending his call with his parents, Chen Mobai’s elation still had not yet fully subsided.
He thought of Qjng Nu.
“Congratulations…”
As the two chatted, time flew by unnoticed.
By the time he hung up the phone, Chen Mobai had already received congratulatory text messages from his uncle and sister.
After replying to each one, he finally remembered his main task.
The Tianhe Realm wouldn’t check when someone establishes their foundation, but the Immortal Gate would need it to be recorded and registered.
First Floor.
Che Yucheng sat in his office, looking with satisfaction at the handsome young man in front of him.
“Not bad, not bad.”
He said admiringly.
“I owe my progress today to Teacher Che’s guidance.”
“Are you interested in becoming my student?”
Naturally, this was not referring to being a student in the classroom but an actual direct disciple. Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai accepted on the spot.
After all, without Che Yucheng’s guidance, he wouldn’t have come this far.
“Greetings, Teacher!”
Very good, this is a gift I have prepared for you.”
Che Yucheng helped Chen Mobai up with a smile then pulled a long square box from under his desk. It seemed to have been prepared beforehand, and judging from its shape, it most likely contained a puppet.
“Thank you, Teacher, what’s this?”
“An Unseen Puppet!”
Che Yucheng’s casual words made Chen Mobai’s hand go soft. The gift was so valuable that he was hesitant to accept it.
Unseen Puppets, known as the peak of puppetry artistry, were worth at least tens of millions of Good Deed Points.
“Teacher, this is too valuable.”
“Accept it since I’m giving it to you. Good. I’ve updated your cultivation level in the system. You can apply for a new student ID, which will allow access to the back mountain.”
Acting as though he’d merely given a piece of paper, Che Yucheng signed for Chen Mobai to accept the gift. He then registered his disciple’s successful Foundation Establishment in the records and sent out a notice on the campus network.
