Chapter 569: Chapter 375 The Five Smoke Nets of Taiyi_3
“What’s going on, you’re smiling so broadly?”
Eating fish, Yan Bingxuan looked at Chen Mobai’s face and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“I managed to buy a Heavenly Calculation Bead.”
“Is it the Heavenly Calculation Bead from the Repairing Heaven Institute? The chairperson of our department always wanted to buy one but could never get it.”
The one who spoke these words was Shi Jingjing. Today was Chen Mobai’s high school classmate reunion, though only enough people for one table turned up. Most of them didn’t return to Red Sandstone City; some were there but didn’t come.
Those who did come were Yan Bingxuan, Cao Yaling, Shi Jingjing, Lu Hongsheng, Pu Jiangxue, Yu Shu, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing.
Song Zheng and Mo Simin didn’t come back, otherwise, given their relationship with Chen Mobai, they would certainly be here too.
“I managed to buy it thanks to some connections. I met a friend during a competition at the Jumang Daoist Academy. As the old saying goes, ‘the more friends, the more paths’. Which really came into play here.”
If people from the Repairing Heaven Institute heard Chen Mobai’s words, they definitely wouldn’t believe him.
During the competition on the island in the lake, Lou Fengcheng was Chen Mobai’s most unfortunate opponent, hit head-on by the Sword Sha. The fiery poison entered his body, and after returning, he lay down for over a month to recover.
“Cao, today’s event is mainly to congratulate you on your successful Foundation Establishment.”
Chen Mobai raised his drink in his hand, wishing Cao Yaling well. Of everyone from their Fifth High School, time revealed who was truly the best.
After Chen Mobai, the second to establish his foundation was the most talented.
“It’s just good luck. Yuanqing has also understood the law of the boundary, so he should be able to establish his foundation next year.”
Cao Yaling spoke with a light smile. She had always been quiet. If she were with Shi Jingjing, she could remain silent the whole day because the latter would say everything for her.
“Sigh, while everyone is discussing Foundation Establishment, I’m already considering military service.”
Lu Hongsheng, with the lowest cultivation level still stuck in the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation without a hint of Divine Sense, had a miserable look on his face. With only three years left, he could never establish his foundation. As a male cultivator, he was obliged to serve ten years of military service.
“That’s how I feel too. But I’m also considering whether I should just get married after graduation.”
Chen Mobai’s pretty desk mate Yu Shu sighed too. She was at the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation and wanted to progress further in her cultivation, but military service was tough on women, and she was fearful.
The topic turned to military service, and the rest began discussing their various pieces of information.
Except for Shi Yuanqing, who was confident he could establish his foundation before graduation, everyone else was somewhat uneasy and had considered the issue of military service.
Chen Mobai noticed Yan Bingxuan quietly eating the grilled fish he brought over and felt a sudden unease in his heart.
“Has your Ice Spirit Root not fully upgraded yet?”
After everyone left, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan were on their way back as he voiced his uncertainty.
Back in the same class, Yan Bingxuan’s Spiritual Root Value was the highest.
“A Spiritual Root can always upgrade as long as it hasn’t reached 100.”
Yan Bingxuan replied calmly as she they walked.
“You know that’s not what I meant to ask. Are you confident in establishing your foundation?”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s direct question, Yan Bingxuan stopped walking. She looked up, their eyes met, and she shook her head.
“I’m not confident, perhaps I’m not talented enough. I still haven’t understood the law of the boundary.”
