Chapter 22 Xuan Bing Jue

With her long hair draped over her shoulders and a clear and cold beauty, it was Yan Bingxuan.

She carried a backpack and held a book in her hands. As she walked in, she unexpectedly ran into Chen Mobai. She tilted her head slightly, seemingly quite surprised.

"I forgot to bring my textbook, so I came here to borrow it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan looked at the book of Five Elements Cultivation he held in his hand. Her clear pupils narrowed slightly, revealing her puzzlement.

Wasn't this basic cultivation technique already completely taught in the first year of high school?

However, Yan Bingxuan didn't seem to have any intention of probing Chen Mobai's words. She lifted her fair and round chin, nodded lightly in response, and then stepped past him to approach the female teacher responsible for lending and returning books.

"Hello, I'm here to return a book."

Once she finished speaking, Chen Mobai turned his head to see the book she was returning.

"Frost Condensation Technique"!

It was the cultivation technique that Old Ding had mentioned, which could transform one's spiritual root into an Ice Spirit Root.

"So you finally decided to return it. You must have borrowed this book for almost a year now, huh."

The female teacher with the round glasses seemed to recognize Yan Bingxuan. As she received the "Frost Condensation Technique", she joked with Yan Bingxuan. Seeing Yan Bingxuan's rare smile, which was as refreshing as a spring rain, Chen Mobai, who had only ever seen Yan Bingxuan's cold face in the past year, couldn't help but be amazed.

"I heard you dropped out, so I thought you must have succeeded. And now that you're returning the book, I'm even more certain."

While processing the return, the female teacher casually let that out, causing a stir in Chen Mobai's heart. He had a hunch that he knew the real reason behind Yan Bingxuan's withdrawal.

"Mm, I've already sensed frost intention, which means I've cultivated the Ice Spirit root. But my attribute points are still insufficient, and it will take quite a while to enhance them."

Yan Bingxuan was usually quite reticent, but the bespectacled female teacher seemed to be quite familiar with her. With a smile, she shared her cultivation progress.

"If anyone can do it, it's definitely you."

Contrary to her usual cold demeanor in class, Yan Bingxuan was very gentle and demure at that moment, making Chen Mobai realize the charm of this classmate of his for the first time.

"It must have been hard for you, pretending to be so aloof in order to resonate with the Ice Spirit Root."

"It's okay. It was quite peaceful."

So she was pretending all along.

Just as Chen Mobai had this realization, the teacher had already finished processing the return of the "Frost Condensation Technique" and handed Yan Bingxuan her student ID.

"I won't be needing it anymore." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She only gave it a lingering glance, then shook her head and turned to leave.

Yan Bingxuan reached the entrance and saw Chen Mobai standing there. Their eyes met. She hesitated a moment, then nodded, paying her respects to their brief time as classmates.

They were not in the same class in their first and second year of high school. Only when they began studying specialized subjects in the third year did they end up in the same class.

One might say it was a bit of fate.

"Once you reach the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, you can abandon the Five Elements Cultivation and switch to other cultivation techniques that suit your Spirit Root Attributes. What did you choose?"

Chen Mobai suddenly asked.

After learning the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique from Old Ding, he'd specifically searched online for more information in this area. He knew that although the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique was a technique, it was more like a spell.

As a cultivator, one needed to persistently practice it over a long period. Sometimes, you might not see any improvement in your Spiritual Root Attribute Points even after a month.

Many pioneers recommend cultivators to pursue cultivation techniques that match their spiritual roots. This way, they can not only avoid falling behind in their realm but also promote each other with the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique. It's the best of both worlds.

"Xuan Bing Jue."

Yan Bingxuan responded subconsciously before realizing why she did so.

"Until we meet again."

After hearing her answer, Chen Mobai's desire to give her the "Blackwater Cultivation" was diminished. He originally thought the Ice Breath and Cold Ice Technique in it could be of reference value to her and he wanted to make a good connection.

It appears the "Xuan Bing Jue" is specifically prepared for the Ice Spirit Root; he was overly thoughtful.

Watching Yan Bingxuan walk away, Chen Mobai turned around and headed back.

"Can I borrow this book?"

The bespectacled female teacher was about to put the "Frost Condensation Technique" on the bookshelf when she heard Chen Mobai's voice. She pointed hesitantly at the book in her hand: "This one?"

"Yes."

"This is a book from Zone A. If a student wants to borrow it, they need approval from the subject teacher."

Chen Mobai nodded slightly, remembering the words of Old Ding. Though there are many techniques to enhance one's Spirit Roots, in order to prevent self-indulgent students from wasting their precious foundation establishment time, students are generally not allowed to have access to this kind of knowledge until they enter university.

"I understand, thank you, teacher."

The bespectacled female teacher had a good impression of the polite Chen Mobai. She thought he had a crush on Yan Bingxuan and wanted to find a common language. To avoid Chen Mobai wasting his cultivation time, she specifically reminded him.

"Bing Xuan's aunt is a pure True Cultivator at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment in the Nature Studies Academy. It's said that she's about to attempt Core Formation. This is a matter of life and death, so she plans to cultivate an heir before the Core Formation. Bing Xuan is one of the candidates. If she succeeds in the Frost Condensation Technique and forms an Ice Spirit Root, then it's highly likely that she will be chosen."

Upon hearing the teacher's words, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then realized he had misunderstood. But he knew that the latter's reminder was just for his own good, warning him that he should prioritize Immortal Cultivation as he is still young. If he succeeds in Foundation Establishment, he will have more than a hundred years to pursue other things.

"Foundation Perfection, eh? I doubt anyone in the whole of Red Sandstone City could achieve that."

Though the Immortal Sect has an orderly lineage and a cultivation civilization, it still can't avoid the clustering effect. Those cultivators with even more talent basically run off to those metropolises with high-ranking Spirit Veins.

Red Sandstone City has two universities and a very rare Rank-4 Fire Vein, but besides the cultivators whose cultivation level has already reached its peak, no one would stay here for extended periods.

And naturally, this is even more true for cultivators who are at Foundation Perfection and are considering Core Formation.

"Although our city doesn't have a cultivator at Foundation Perfection, we do have two Gold Core True Cultivators."

Hearing Chen Mobai sigh, the teacher, a native of Red Sandstone City, couldn't help but say something.

Of the seventy-two blessed-spots, some do not even have a Gold Core True Cultivator. But Red Sandstone City has two, one at each university. One is the Red Robe True Cultivator who retired and returned to his hometown, while the other one is Master Shi Qing who refines Legal Treasures using the Fire Vein of Red Sandstone City.

"If I could just attend a lecture by a Gold Core True Cultivator once, maybe I would have the confidence to break through to Foundation Establishment."

The teacher was at the Perfection stage of Qi Cultivation, but she dared not make the leap to Foundation Establishment. If a Gold Core True Cultivator told her she could succeed in Foundation Establishment, she might just make the breakthrough.

But a Gold Core True Cultivator is highly respected and could even be seen as the sky over Red Sandstone City!

It's not just about her, a mere high school teacher, even the students of the two universities might not have a chance to meet one.

At this moment, the bell for the start of class rang.

Chen Mobai immediately took his leave, taking the Five Elements Cultivation back to the classroom with him.

He put on his wireless earphones and opened the Five Elements Cultivation lecture video he had downloaded the night before. To avoid being seen by his desk-mate, he turned off the internet connection on his phone, turned off the screen, and hid it under his textbook.

Qing Ping's slightly verbose speech resounded in his ears as Chen Mobai made a precise swipe across the screen without looking.

Fast forward!
