Chapter 321: Chapter 264 Map of Treasures_2

After exchanging names, Chen Mobai learned that the man standing before him was Mi Yudao, a student from the 5009th cohort, and was a Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He specialized in the Earth Escape Technique and was currently one of the teaching assistants in the field of mineral studies.

“Junior Brother Chen, everyone from your 5012th cohort has left a deep impression on me.”

Learning that Chen Mobai was only a fifth-grade student, Mi Yudao sighed. He was also surprised by how the incoming generations could surpass the previous ones. But then he said something that surprised Chen Mobai.

“You’ve also met Zhongli Tianyu?”

“Ah, I happened to accidentally enter the area where he was cultivating last year. I ended up getting a bump on my head due to his Technique of transforming earth into steel.”

Mi Yudao pointed to the bald spot on his head with slight embarrassment. It was the spot where Zhongli Tianyu’s spell had hit him last year, causing a swelling.

“Senior Brother Mi, using the Earth Escape Technique so recklessly does seem to be inappropriate.”

Chen Mobai said it tactfully.

Qin Beichen had told him about the rules of the Treasure Trove. If someone had set up an Array Prohibition, other students should not disturb it.

After all, the place was vast and the tunnels were nearly infinite for all the Foundation Establishment students of the Daoist Academy, so why create conflict in just one place?

“I was simply following the Student Association’s instructions to find the Device Nurturing Sphere. I didn’t know that you already claimed what’s here. Had I known, I wouldn’t have come…”

Mi Yudao murmured, glancing at the white jade sphere embedded in the red iron ore above Chen Mobai’s head. He sighed and shook his head.

“Oh, so the Student Association can also manage the affairs of the Treasure Trove?”

This was news to Chen Mobai. The Dance Tool Dao Academy’s Student Association was practically non-existent in their first to sixth years, but it was undoubtedly a major force within the academy.

As one of the “Top Ten Talented Students” of the 5012th cohort, Chen Mobai had received an invitation to join the Student Association.

However, he was busy acquiring the Foundation Building Pills at that time and didn’t even respond.

Apart from him, others from the Metaphysical Class such as Ming Yuhua, Wang Xingyu, and Yunyang Bing had also received invitations, but they declined because of their high self-esteem.

Even individuals with a mild temperament such as Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan stated that they wouldn’t consider this matter until they established their Foundation.

“Not exactly. The Student Association has many talented and unique individuals. They compiled the documents left by the previous senior brothers and sisters, combined them with their own exploration results, discoveries, and deductions to create a Map of Treasures.”

“The map indicates over a thousand specific locations of Device Nurturing Spheres in the Treasure Trove. They offered rewards, and they were willing to transfer 5 credit points to anyone who could find a Device Nurturing Sphere outside of the Map of Treasures.”

“Like me, those who help the Student Association improve the information about the Device Nurturing Sphere recorded on the Map of Treasures can also get 1 credit point.”

Mi Yudao didn’t hide anything. He found Chen Mobai here by following the instructions on the Map of Treasures from the Student Association.

“So, does that mean the Student Association considers this Device Nurturing Sphere as their own?”

Chen Mobai frowned, looking somewhat discontented.

Although he didn’t need this flying sword much, it was still the only thing he had gained in the past six months. To be told now that this thing had already been marked by someone else, it was hard not to feel somewhat indignant.

“Not exactly. Opening a Device Nurturing Sphere requires 100 credit points, and even if all the credit points of the students in the Student Association are added together, they can only exchange at most for 10 Device Pieces.”

“The creation of the Map of Treasures has been a task passed down by the Student Association from generation to generation to prevent some Device Nurturing Sphere seals from exceeding their time limit, leading to the degradation of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and the decay of the magic artifacts inside.”

“Any member of the Student Association can freely view the information on the Map of Treasures, find the information of the magic artifact they need, and thus greatly save everyone’s time.”

Upon hearing this, there was an expression of sudden enlightenment on Chen Mobai’s face.

He had been wondering before, since the effectiveness of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid only lasts a hundred years. If some Device Nurturing Spheres were deeply hidden and never discovered by anyone, wouldn’t they decay for nothing?

Obviously, the upper echelon of the Daoist Academy must have realized this point as well, and thus assigned the Student Association to handle this matter.

“What about non-members of the Student Association? Can we also view the Map of Treasures?”

“You can, but there is a fee of 2 credit points for the information.”

Having heard Mi Yudao’s explanation, Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that he could afford to pay this much in credit points.

“How do I make the payment?”

“I’ll take you there.”

Mi Yudao naturally couldn’t use the Earth Escape Technique with Chen Mobai in tow. He exited from the mountainside and led Chen Mobai to fly out of the cave opening.

They then ascended to a height of about a kilometer and flew into a wide cave entrance with a diameter of nearly thirty meters.

The two continued onward, and Chen Mobai soon heard the sound of rushing water.

This was an underground stream; he didn’t expect it to be here.

Looking at the clear and transparent water before his eyes, and the hollow space across the stream that had been excavated, roughly over two hundred meters wide, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel.

In that massive hollow space across the stream, there were quite a few stone houses, as well as a square that looked like a market place.

Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao across the stream, and saw a “Device Nurturing Sphere”, similar to white jade, hanging at the entrance of many of the stone houses.

“These are dead seals, so it’s not an issue to take them out. At the end of the year, everyone will place these on the square, choose one to open, and that sight is truly spectacular.”

After hearing Mi Yudao’s words, Chen Mobai imagined a dazzling scene of over a dozen magic artifacts flying out from the white jade spheres, and nodded.

“If it’s a dead seal, then there’s no way to know what kind of magic artifact is sealed inside. Could there be a decayed magic artifact?”

“There might be, it’s all about luck. Have you heard of stone gambling? This is the highest-end stone gambling in the celestial door.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, then his face showed realization.

It can’t be denied, the phrase ‘stone gambling’ is quite fitting.

He activated his Void Spirit Eye to look at a dead sealed “Device Nurturing Sphere”, but found it chaotic and completely unreadable.

He couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

“Eh, have you also practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes? Does that mean you can see clearly what’s inside the “Device Nurturing Sphere”?”

Mi Yudao saw the clear luster flashing in Chen Mobai’s eyes, and his eyes lit up.

“You could say that, why do you ask?”

“You can exchange the information from that ‘Device Nurturing Sphere’ for school credits at the student association, isn’t that the reason I came here for that 1 school credit?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately remembered what Mi Yudao had said earlier and nodded.

Fortunately, he had plenty of flying swords and had no interest in broken ones.

They arrived at a three-story house in the middle of the square. Mi Yudao introduced it as the student association’s location.

The person on duty inside was a stern-looking young man.

“Tiansuan, why are you the one on duty?”

It seemed that Mi Yudao recognized the stern young man, and greeted him with familiarity.

“Get to the point.”

The young man’s last name was Lu, and his first name was Tiansuan, a very domineering name. He and Mi Yudao were from the same class.

“This is Chen Mobai from the 5012 class, also the youngest True Cultivator of Foundation Establishment in our Daoist Academy…”

Mi Yudao, with his mild temper, introduced Chen Mobai to Lu Tiansuan, whose expression didn’t change upon hearing this, as if that was always his face.

“Checking the Map of Treasures once equals 2 school credits.”

Chen Mobai nodded and handed over his student ID.

“The Academy originally doesn’t allow the exchange of school credits between students, but the Map of Treasures is one of the few channels that can conduct school credit transactions.”

While Mi Yudao was talking, Lu Tiansuan deducted the school credits and took out a tablet. He opened a software program with a “treasure” icon.

“State your requirements for the magic artifact as specifically as possible. I’ll help you search.”

Chen Mobai understood, so the Map of Treasures was a search engine, with 2 school credits for one search opportunity.

The Turtle Treasure seems to have found a place to shine again.

“I would prefer a Rank-3, suitable for Fire Essence Cultivators to use as a companion item.”

Unfortunately, he found out too late, he already paid the school credits, and it was too embarrassing for Chen Mobai to change his mind, so he could only state his requirement.

Upon hearing him, Lu Tiansuan and Mi Yudao both rolled their eyes simultaneously.

If the Map of Treasures could determine which “Device Nurturing Sphere” contained a Rank-3 magic artifact, they wouldn’t just charge you these few school credits.
