Chapter 65: Spirit Ascending Powder

There is only 1 day left until the college entrance exam!

In the classroom, the usually stern head teacher, Chai Deyun, began to speak passionately, emphasizing the importance of the college entrance exam to all the students.

"According to statistics, the success rate of Foundation Establishment for students at the Danzhu Chixia Academy is 2%. That means out of a hundred students, only two can successfully establish their foundation."

"For students at the top ten academies, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is 20%. For example, if all 49 students in our class were to be admitted to the top ten academies, 10 of them would successfully establish their foundation. What a glorious thing that would be."

"If you are admitted to one of the four major Daoist colleges, it's even more impressive. The success rate of Foundation Establishment at the four major colleges hit a new low last year, but even at this new low, it's still 75%!"

"There's no need for me to elaborate on the benefits of successfully establishing your foundation. Not only will your lifespan increase significantly, but you can also apply to the Immortal Sect for a second-level spirit vein, or even access the Immortal Sect's spell library and the national library to study more powerful spells and cultivation techniques."

"After establishing your foundation, if you want to become the principal of your alma mater, I'm sure the current principal would be happy to step down for you."

...

Chen Mobai listened to Chai Deyun's words, his head lowered as he played with his phone.

He was trying to purchase the "Spirit Ascending Powder" released by the official flagship store of the Immortal Sect today. Although he knew it would be listed at 9:38 AM, he had been refreshing the page since 8:30 AM.

After all, there are quite a few Golden Core Real People in the Immortal Sect. Although they have no interest in the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, what if their juniors need them?

However, his luck was very good. Perhaps his sincerity moved the Immortal Sect. When the 10,000 portions of "Spirit Ascending Powder" were listed, he quickly placed an order and successfully secured one.

Yes!

If he hadn't been in the classroom, Chen Mobai might have jumped up in excitement.

"What are you so happy about?"

His expression caught the attention of his desk mate, Lu Hongsheng, who completely forgot about the previous incident and asked in a low voice.

"I was casually browsing the Immortal Sect's website and happened to see a batch of newly listed 'Spirit Ascending Powder.' I got lucky and managed to grab one."

Chen Mobai didn't hide it. He showed Lu Hongsheng the screen of his phone, which displayed the successful purchase but unpaid order.

"You must be incredibly lucky."

Lu Hongsheng's eyes widened, and he spoke with a hint of envy.

"You really got it!?"

At this moment, the head teacher finished his speech, and the class entered a break. The two girls in front of them turned around, looking at Chen Mobai in disbelief. He shrugged and showed the order on his phone to the surrounding students.

"Wow!"

Everyone then looked at Chen Mobai with envious eyes.

One student, quick on the uptake, took out his phone and started to purchase. It was like a chain reaction; everyone began logging into the Immortal Sect's website, trying to grab a portion of the "Spirit Ascending Powder."

"Oh, just a little more, I clearly saw three portions in stock just now!"

The first girl to react slapped the table in frustration.

"How could I be so stupid!"

Lu Hongsheng, the first to know, hit his head against the wall. If he had started purchasing right after Chen Mobai told him, he might have gotten one too.

Whether he could afford it was another matter, but there were people who would pay for him.

Only Song Zheng remained seated, unmoving.

He believed he could at least be admitted to one of the top ten academies. At that time, he would receive two of the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment for free during his first Foundation Establishment. If he had enough merit points, he could buy the third one from the school to complete the set.

Therefore, Song Zheng had no interest in just one portion of "Spirit Ascending Powder."

The commotion also caught the attention of the head teacher, who was about to leave to tidy up his books. Knowing that Chen Mobai had secured the "Spirit Ascending Powder," he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. If he hadn't already used his first Foundation Establishment opportunity at the academy, he might have asked the student to sell it to him.

However, some quick-witted students had already taken out their phones and quickly spread the news.

After all, there were many teachers in the school who were at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation.

Ding!

Before the second class, Chen Mobai suddenly received a text message.

The sender was Chansi.

【I have a senior preparing for Foundation Establishment. If you want to resell the 'Spirit Ascending Powder' in your possession, you can consider me.】

Chen Mobai never expected the first person to approach him would be this teacher. He had intentionally let the whole class know, as selling to a teacher at the school was better than selling to strangers outside.

Although the faculty of the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect was average, these teachers, who had been hired to teach them, were all of the highest moral character. Selling to them meant no risk of non-payment.

If it were another teacher, Chen Mobai would have tried to negotiate a higher price.

But since it was Chansi who sent the message, he thought about it and replied with a 【Sure】.

Fortunately, Old Ding's time limit had passed, and he no longer needed the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, if both teachers wanted to buy the "Spirit Ascending Powder," he wouldn't have known who to sell it to.

After class, Head Teacher Chai Deyun called Chen Mobai to the office.

He was helping another teacher who also wanted to buy the "Spirit Ascending Powder." However, when Chen Mobai said he had already agreed to sell it to Chansi, the teacher left with regret.

"If I'm not mistaken, Teacher Chansi hasn't established his foundation yet. If he needs it, he can buy the complete set of the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment from the Danzhu Academy."

As the teacher left, Chai Deyun suddenly asked. Chen Mobai was taken aback but then explained that Chansi was buying it for a senior. Chai Deyun nodded in understanding.

It just so happened that Chansi was teaching the neighboring class and was still at the school. They agreed to meet after the morning classes.

"The Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment usually sell at a 20% premium on the market. How about I transfer you 160,000 merit points?"

In the office, Chen Mobai nodded after hearing Chansi's words.

Among the Three Treasures, the demand for "Spirit Ascending Powder" is slightly lower. Compared to "Pulse Protection Pill" and "Qi Condensation Liquid," there are many alternative pills and magical artifacts. Even if he sold it to Wu Wan, it might not fetch this price.

Chen Mobai modified the delivery information on the order and handed it over to Chansi to pay. Chansi took his card number and quickly transferred 160,000 merit points to him.

Seeing the new balance notification from the bank, Chen Mobai, who had never owned so many merit points before, felt his hands tremble.

He laughed at himself for being inexperienced, reacting so strongly to just 160,000 merit points.

"By the way, the college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. How are you preparing?"

Chansi suddenly asked. Chen Mobai smiled modestly.

"Participating in the entrance exams for the four major Daoist colleges and the top ten academies should be no problem."

"Oh, congratulations then. However, this year's entrance exams are a bit special. The chances of you passing might be slim."

"Huh?"
