Magic Duel.

Chen Mobai was pondering on how to improve in this area. For now, he would not consider the use of talismans. All the major Daoist academies and institutions within the Immortal Sect wouldn’t favor the children of wealthy families. Even if they could use talismans, restrictions would certainly be placed.

So, firstly, he had to cultivate some spells suitable for combat.

Thinking of this, he opened his personal panel.

[Name: Chen Mobai]

[Age: 18]

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Level]

[Spiritual Roots: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]

[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]

[Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield]

The only ones suitable for combat are “Spiritual Force Shield”, “Water Controlling Technique”, and “Water Elemental Shield”.

Among them, “Water Elemental Shield” requires the refinement of a spiritual water named “Dark Water”. The method of refinement is recorded in the notes that Liu Yanpei left behind, which involve the use of the “Water Controlling Technique”. However, Chen Mobai was distressed.

Based on the records in the Blackwater Cultivation notes, the refinement of Dark Water requires finding a spiritual spring that has been stained by the Water Pulse Spirit Qi for a long time, then refining its essence with the Water Controlling Technique. Further processing is then done with a spirit stone and six types of medicinal plants from the Tianhe Realm. The quickest refinement process takes a month.

About 20 days after the university entrance exam, the scores can be checked, along with the preparation work for registration and group assignments based on grading lines. Chen Mobai figured he would just have enough time to prepare for a month.

However, even if he had good fortune and the refinement was successful within one try, he did not plan to waste a precious month on refining Dark

Water.

At the very least, he needed to practice a powerful offensive spell. After all, the spells he currently knew, be it the Spiritual Force Shield or the Water Elemental Shield, were all for defense purposes. The Water Controlling

Technique was inclined more towards auxiliary usage.

Perhaps due to the extended peace in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai never felt the need to cultivate destructive spells.

Even if combat was needed, he could substitute it with talismans. Little did he know, the entrance exam of this year’s Daoist Academy would adopt such a crude and simple method of a “Magic Duel”.

His current situation compelled Chen Mobai to cultivate an offensive spell. Immediately, he opened the “Immortal Sect Spell Library” software. He wanted to find a spell that was suitable for himself, could be quickly mastered, had notable power, and preferably would fit with his current skill set.

However, he was merely a Qi practitioner and didn’t have the authority to let the “Immortal Sect Spell Library” ‘s artificial spirit make such a precise judgment for him.

At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not becoming a proxy for the “Immortal Sect Spell Library” when he broke through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation.

But it was too late for regrets now. All he could do was to look for the software that aids in cultivation.

Searching for the strongest spell that a Five Elements Cultivation practitioner can cultivate, what would it be?

The results were plentiful. However, most of them were Rank-2 spells and above he couldn’t practice. Some of the Five Elements Cultivation practitioners shared the spell systems they had built from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.

But upon looking into it, Chen Mobai was utterly disappointed.

Most of them did not particularly focus on combat. Many of them were for the ease of cultivation. While there were a small portion of combat spells, none of them could be mastered within a short month.

And to create a balanced system of offense and defense, at least two or more spells would have to be cultivated, which would leave him no time.

After looking around online, Chen Mobai was compelled to return to Blackwater Cultivation.

The spells recorded in this Qi Cultivation method from the Tianhe Realm, started from “Water Controlling Technique” to “Water Elemental Shield”, then to “Cold Ice Technique”, are sequentially progressive, forming a complete system. After the “Cold Ice Technique”, there was the “Ren Water Thunder Method” that Liu Yanpei had left in his notes.

However, Chen Mobai had absolutely no ideas about this method of water and thunder. He only hoped that he could master the “Cold Ice Technique” within one month.

According to Liu Yanpei’s notes, the “Cold Ice Technique” also requires water to cast. If “Dark Water” is used, its power would double.

Dark Water, again!

When Chen Mobai thought of these two words, he felt a toothache.

But he soon thought of a good solution – to get Dark Water without refining it himself.

When Chen Mobai previously sold the Blackwater Cultivation to Old Man He, he clearly remembered Qi Er mentioning that he was practicing this technique. Also, being at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Er must have also mastered the Water Elemental Shield.

Based on this inference, given the unique social environment of the Tianhe Realm, He Qun would undoubtedly do everything she could to augment her combat abilities. Perhaps, she had already refined Dark Water.

Thought breeds action.

Chen Mobai immediately left the Water Mansion and rushed to Southstream Market, hoping to rely on his luck to make a purchase.

“You want to buy Dark Water?”

Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, He Qun, the stall vendor selling cultivation techniques, was stunned. He then shook his head and declined.

“You’re right. I did refine a few bottles of Dark Water myself, but they are my most valuable assets. I don’t even have enough for myself, let alone sell them

to you.”

Chen Mobai persistently pleaded, but Old Man He was annoyed and directly proposed twenty spirit stones per bottle as an outrageous price to dissuade him.

“Kid, don’t blame me for being heartless, the refinement of Dark Water is just too difficult.”

“To gather six medicine plants for refining, I need to hire an alchemist. Old Man Liu’s alchemy skills aren’t so refined; three out of every four attempts result in failure, and he still charges me one spirit stone for each attempt.” “Altogether, the production cost of one bottle of Dark Water rounds up to about five spirit stones. And as you know, the power of the Cold Ice Technique practiced in the Blackwater Cultivation is doubled when backed by Dark Water. Recently, I planned to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze. Once successful, I will fear no one in the same realm.”

Having recognized Chen Mobai, He Qun knew that he had a lot of powerful talismans and didn’t want to refuse him completely. After quoting an outrageous price, he started explaining.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more depressed. If he hadn’t sold the Cold Ice Technique to Old Man He, the latter probably wouldn’t have valued Dark Water so much.

It can only be said that every sip and every bite is ordained by heaven.

“Oh, the Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze, can they help in mastering the Cold Ice Technique?”

However, Chen Mobai immediately noticed another piece of information in Old Man He’s words and asked urgently.

“Yes, the gallbladder of the Cold Snakes contains a unique Cold Ice True Intent. They possess the ability to freeze water and spit out arrows. After consuming a few, practitioners of Blackwater Cultivation can basically comprehend the Ice Breath and subsequently master the Cold Ice Technique.

“Is Yun Meng Ze dangerous?”

“It can be dangerous, but also safe, depending on which area you go to and whether you go alone or in a team.”

“Does it help in improving a cultivator’s combat abilities?

This was the question that Chen Mobai cared about the most.

After reading the interview article about Lan Haitian’s victory in the magic duel and his admission to Kunpeng Daoist Institute, he knew that real combat was the best way to train. There were no real combat conditions on Planet Di Yuan, while in Tianhe Realm, it was everywhere. Also, knowing the shortcut to mastering the Cold Ice Technique, it felt like heaven was encouraging him to make a move..
