Chapter 372: Chapter 287 About Longevity_1
“Master, are you alright?”
Chen Mobai was about to ask how the poem on their cards came about when he turned to see the sunglasses-wearing girl spitting out blood, which shocked him greatly.
He was inclined to reach out to the master in front of him, but remembering that they had female company, he quickly sent Wanyu over to see to her instead.
“No need, my fate here today is already fulfilled. I will take my leave.”
The sunglasses-wearing girl waved her hand, stopping Wanyu who was approaching her.
After saying this, she wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, then swept all items like card cloth from the table to the floor. Suddenly, she seemed like a phantom, retreating rapidly and retreated into the wall behind her, disappearing from their sight.
Chen Mobai released his Divine Sense, searching high and low, but all he caught sight of was the girl’s heel disappearing into another wall.
He hesitated for a moment, but didn’t forcefully follow her.
“I wonder what this line of poetry means?”
Once the sunglasses-wearing girl left, Wanyu glanced at the card in her hand and muttered to herself.
“Let’s look it up on an ancient text website when we have some time.”
Chen Mobai casually suggested, which Wanyu agreed to happily. She then slid her card into the compartment of the little black bag she was carrying around her waist.
“Are you well-versed in the exchange fair?”
Chen Mobai once again checked his drawn card, stashed it inside the pocket of his sleeve after understanding the general literal meaning, then posed a question.
“Pretty much, I’ve been to most of the stalls with friends.”
Wanyu said excitedly.
“Shall we walk around together? I want to go to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to ask some professional questions.”
Chen Mobai courteously invited Wanyu, already mentioning his intended destination. She could easily steer the conversation elsewhere if she had other things to do.
“Mm-hmm!”
However, Wanyu blushed and eagerly agreed.
“Let’s go then.”
Chen Mobai gave it no further thought, glanced at where the sunglasses-wearing girl had been sitting, which was now empty, adjusted his mood and said to Wanyu, before turning around and heading towards the end of the alleyway.
At the moment his foot stepped into the outside sunlight, he wiped his face with his right hand and black crystal-like scales flew out, covering his face once more like a half-faced mask.
Wanyu happily followed him out, her black shiny round-toed shoes on her feet.
Upon seeing Chen Mobai put the mask back on, she felt as though she had him all to herself, her heart bursting with joy and her radiant face radiating sheer happiness.
Some passers-by stopped in their tracks when they saw the stunningly attractive Wanyu emerge from the alleyway with a joyous expression on her face.
However, when they saw her rushing to join the young man dressed in a Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, there was a hint of regret on their faces.
So the beautiful lady’s heart already belongs to someone.
Damn it! Who was this Dancing Tools Dao Academy guy, acting mysterious with a mask on?
Can’t he see that we are here?
Even the Magic Duel victor probably wouldn’t act this pompously.
Two male students watched as Wanyu, who was genuinely smiling by Chen Mobai’s side, found their hearts souring and couldn’t help disparaging him.
“The Life-Extension Cultivation Institute has four stalls: one for life extension, one for health preservation, one for medical consultation, and the most popular one, is the beauty preservation. It’s crowded every day.”
Listening to the cheerful voice of Wanyu next to him, smelling her scents wafting from her body, Chen Mobai found himself at peace.
It was so much better than shopping with Hua Zijing.
This vice-chairman, even though he’s good-looking, never smiles, always acting detached, which makes this handsome boy who enjoys admiring beauty feel pressured.
In contrast, Wanyu was a breath of fresh air. The two walked together, her face with light luxurious makeup was not only radiant with smiles the whole time, Chen Mobai could also feel her genuine joy and excitement. The cheerful rhythm of her elegant legs in her little leather shoes filled the atmosphere with her youthful vigor. It even seemed to affect him, whose mood was a bit down due to the Core Formation Tribulation, making him smile unconsciously.
“Why are there four stalls? I thought there’s just one for life extension.”
Chen Mobai asked while smilingly jabbering as if in response to Wanyu’s sprightly chatter.
“I know this. Our Starlight Institute and the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute are in the same campus and we interact quite often. Although they said they’re studying the secret of eternal life, in reality, only those True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and the teachers could participate in the life-extension project.”
“Though the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute was spun off from the Jumang Daoist Academy, the cut-off points for admission are just average each year. Hence, most people who study here do not have the interest or talent to invest time in the ‘life-extension’ course which takes a long time to yield results. They typically select health preservation and beauty maintenance courses.”
“Among these, many Cultivators would practice Health Preservation Techniques in their later years and after mastery, they would open a tutoring class. If they manage to establish a good reputation, it could be lucrative. As for beauty maintenance, needless to say, many female cultivators would go to great lengths to achieve it.”
