Chapter 403: Chapter 301 Separation_1
After breaking through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was eager to share the good news with his friends.
However, despite searching throughout the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he found himself uncertain who to share it with.
This year, Ming Yuhua joined a major project, working alongside the top students of the Refining Implement Department to refine a Rank-4 large equipment magic artifact under an order from Gongye Zhixu, effectively a mission from the Immortal Sect.
He had left the Daoist Academy in the middle of the year and has not returned up to present.
After receiving two more Vermillion Fruits from Chen Mobai, Wang Xingyu had started refining pills in his medicinal pool while Chen was secluded for cultivation advancement. It was estimated that it would take some time before the refining process was completed.
The other students of the Metaphysical Class has also been stimulated by stress, choosing to go into reclusive cultivation during the break.
Only Yunyang Bing could be reached, but Chen Mobai felt it would be inappropriate to show off in front of him. After all, his Spirit Gathering Array has been of great help in Chen’s breakthrough.
After returning the Array Plate and Array Flag, Chen Mobai walked through the academy, looking at the youthful and spirited path filled with students, and felt a sincerer sense of loneliness.
Posting on the friend circle was something that Chen Mobai couldn’t bring himself to do unless drinking.
He opened the friend page on his phone, scrolling up and down, and paused when he saw a few avatars of friends he hadn’t contacted in a long time.
He remembered that he still owed Wanyu a tube of lipstick.
He immediately sent her a message asking if she was at school during the break.
Wanyu replied immediately with great surprise.
But sadly, she had gone home this year and was not in Crimson City Cave Heaven.
In response, Chen Mobai could only regretfully shake his head. However, the message he sent back was very polite, stating that he would ask her out when he was free.
On the other side of the phone, Wanyu, who was lying on her bed with her long, beautiful legs crossed, was playing with her phone in annoyance.
“Damn, why did I have to go home this year!”
Unaware of this, Chen Mobai contacted a few other friends. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the cabin he rented.
Lifting his eyes, the villa on the mountaintop was still deserted.
Meng Huang has not returned for half a year. No one knows what motivated her this semester, but she attempted to achieve Foundation Establishment without understanding the Boundary Law.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t Lu Zixuan, who had gone through a deep emotional shock from a breakup, and ultimately failed.
Chen Mobai only learned of this later from the student council members.
During that time, he returned to Red Sandstone City as the half-year agreement with Wu Shangru drew near. The Feitian Talisman Factory was to be officially handed over to him.
Once this matter was taken care of, Wu Shangru could formally leave Red Sandstone City. He was extremely keen on this, always urging Chen Mobai to return.
Under the witness of Qin Baipeng, Chen Mobai officially took over the Feitian Talisman Factory. The media reported on this for several days.
Of course, all the news was positive.
Return home with honor, make the family proud…
In that period, Chen Mobai was the hottest topic in Red Sandstone City.
But because he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, no media dared to harass him, allowing him to stay peacefully at home and at the factory for some time.
After the carefree departure of Wu Shangru, Chen Mobai had to stay and manage the factory for a month.
Thankfully, Chen Xinglan, Tang Panchui, and even Luan Jingsheng, had all become proficient at their respective tasks. After the change in management, suppliers and channels gave face to Chen Mobai, the Chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. They were even willing to yield a point or two in profits, wanting to sign longer-term contracts.
With a smooth transition in mind and considering his youth and the more than two hundred years he had to run the talisman factory, Chen Mobai renewed the contracts for four years. After his official graduation from the Daoist Academy, he would make further adjustments.
However, he fulfilled his promise to add Shen Juanxiu’s family to the list of Ling Sha suppliers for the Feitian Talisman Factory as a way to repay her for her previous support.
In return, Shen Juanxiu and her newlywed husband invited him over for a meal.
After dealing with matters in Red Sandstone City, he returned to Crimson City Cave Heaven.
However, on the first day he returned, Chen Mobai heard the news of Meng Huang’s failed attempt at the Foundation Establishment.
He wanted to visit and comfort her as a friend, however, the villa on the mountain was empty, and she did not pick up his calls.
It was only after he asked Bian Yiqing that he found out Meng Huang has gone on a national tour with him to heal her injuries, temper her heart, and hopefully comprehend her path amid the bustling world.
However, this time there was no Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe as Jiang Yuyuan has achieved Foundation Establishment. He was taken away by a higher up from the Immortal Sect.
Based on Chen Mobai’s guess, Jiang Yuyuan’s cultivation progression should not be slower than his. The Shocking God Sonata, being dependent on Jiang Yuyuan’s cultivation level, is one of the hopes for Nascent Soul elders to achieve Divinity Transformation.
Jiang Yuyuan definitely wouldn’t lack items like Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Barrier Breaking Pill.
There were times when Chen Mobai wondered if Meng Huang deliberately failed her Foundation Establishment because she didn’t want to live a life of being reared by the higher-ups.
But he only thought of it. After all, they had several warm conversations. From texts and voice messages, he could feel her longing for Foundation Establishment and frustration at her inability to comprehend Boundary Law.
