Chapter 656: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_1

Meng Huang thought she was too useless, hence even borrowing Chen Mobai’s energy did not prevent her failure at the Foundation Establishment.

Listening to this, Chen Mobai shook his head and comforted her.

“Right now, your main task should be to recuperate from your injuries, striving to attempt the Foundation Establishment once again before graduation next year.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Huang’s face reflected a trace of disappointment. She lowered her head, not speaking a word, seemingly lost in her lack of faith in herself.

“This is the original Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret of the liminal law. You might find it useful for your recuperation. After comprehending this, I was able to grasp all the mysteries of liminal law.”

Chen Mobai handed over a book that he had once read in the Daoist Academy Library to Meng Huang who was lying in bed. Upon hearing his words, the light in her previously dull eyes reignited a little. She accepted the book and thanked the handsome young man in front of her.

...

“Have you always been this diligent? Few people would bother to read this.”

Meng Huang gently asked.

Since the cultivation technique of the Immortal Sect can be easily obtained, and the higher-ranking cultivators update it timely with their new interpretations for the benefit of the public, many people choose the version with the most recent update when downloading online.

Since the inception of the liminal law, the Immortal Sect has updated at least hundreds of versions.

Many people might cross-reference only a few of the most recent versions, but the fact that Chen Mobai was still practicing the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret from the original source surprised Meng Huang. She had never heard anyone else doing the same.

“When I was searching for liminal law cultivation experiences on the Auxiliary Cultivation software, I happened upon a post claiming its usefulness, so I started diligently cultivating it and, by pure luck, succeeded.”

Chen Mobai was telling the truth, except he left out the part about his success only after taking a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.

“Oh, is that post still available?”

As software that’s popular among cultivators, Auxiliary Cultivation is relatively well-known. Meng Huang has downloaded it and searched for liminal law cultivation content but hadn’t noticed this post.

Chen Mobai directed her to Tian Wenguang’s post. Although the most critical part of the post was hidden and inaccessible, the visible parts verified his words.

This post, due to its privacy settings, had minimal viewings and was thus buried far back. Chen Mobai would not have noticed it if he hadn’t habitually filtered the posts from high to low privacy settings.

“How can I get in contact with the person who posted this?”

Having heard Chen Mobai’s successful experiences, Meng Huang was pinning her hopes of mastering the liminal law on the Jade Lock Golden Secrets. She was extremely interested in the hidden parts after reading the visible content.

“Send him a private message and see if he replies.”

Chen Mobai, of course, knew Tian Wenguang was a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, but he couldn’t reveal that he had high access rights. So, he let Meng Huang send a private message from her account to the poster.

Tian Wenguang’s username in the Auxiliary Cultivation software was “Lone Ranger”. Meng Huang politely phrased a message, stating she wanted to learn from his successful experience with the Jade Lock Golden Secrets.

However, as the vice-director of a top-tier hospital, Tian Wenguang obviously couldn’t always be glued to his phone, so the message lying in his inbox remained unanswered.

“Let’s wait and see. You might comprehend the Jade Lock Golden Secrets by yourself after some time.”

Chen Mobai, seeing Meng Huang’s improved mood and that she seemed to have found a new purpose, was relieved and reassured her with these words.

“Sure, I’ll look at it myself first. Speaking of which, didn’t you mention that a friend from the Imperial Medical Academy also mastered it? Did he share any tips?”

It seemed Meng Huang hadn’t forgotten Chen Mobai’s comfort to her. She viewed the Jade Lock Golden Secrets as her last hope and asked hastily as he was about to leave.

“Although we’re friends, it was a pretty casual friendship. I did bring it up to him, but I will have to wait until after the New Year for a detailed discussion.”

Chen Mobai responded truthfully. Meng Huang was disappointed but still maintained a smile and expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you for your efforts.”

After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai booked a ticket back to Red Sandstone City.

There were a few issues he needed to address at his hometown’s rune factories at the end of the year.

The first was related to the loans he took out when he set up the puppet factory. The annual interest needed to be paid by year-end, and one large loan required an extension. Without his presence, these matters would not be resolved.

After returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai started to tally up his annual income from the Immortal Sect.

Beginning with the Sky Rune Factory, because of the puppet factory, he had instructed them to switch to high-end product production, generating only Rank-2 talisman papers and inks.

Despite the staff at Sky Rune Factory being skilled, without the leadership of the veteran Talisman Maker, Wu Shangru, the quality of the produced Green Jade Talisman Paper could barely maintain Rank-2.

Originally, this Green Jade Talisman Paper was priced at 500 Good Deed Points per piece, but due to its mediocre quality, even as the cheapest among Rank-2 talisman papers, it struggled to sell.

Tang Panchui was very worried looking at the accounts at the end of the year.

The profit margin significantly decreased compared to the previous year, and if not for the reasonably well-selling Rank-2 Chixia Talisman Ink, they might have been at a loss.
