Three days after the New Year, Chai Lun came back.
He had only graduated a few years ago. At this age, all he could think about was developing his career and improving his cultivation. Although the puppet factory was not very profitable due to acquaintances, it was a practical application of the entire puppet system. For him, It is a very rare opportunity to practice.
After all, except for Xianmen agencies, private companies basically do not consider the luxury of replacing humans with puppets.
When Chai Lun was resting at home these days, he came up with some inspiration.
"You can customize some special transport vehicles and use puppets to drive them, or you can directly combine the main controller chip with the transport vehicles to make transport puppets, which will save manpower for loading and unloading goods in the future."
Although the puppet factory can operate according to established procedures, the raw materials for making talisman paper and ink still need to be obtained and transported from the outside. Chai Lun means to use puppets to replace this.
Chen Mobai thought about it and thought it made sense, so he found a company in the Immortal Sect that specialized in manufacturing transportation vehicles and ordered two large and two small transportation vehicles.
Of course, in order to be able to adapt to the puppet, Chen Mobai still made a trip in person. After all, only he and Chai Lun knew the relevant technical standards.
Chai Lun is also responsible for making puppets, so he, Party A, can only take action.
These custom-made transportation vehicles cost Chen Mobai another 2.3 million yuan in charity.
However, Chen Mobai spent this good deed willingly. After all, transportation tools will be indispensable when the output of his factory increases in the future.
Previously, Feitian Talisman Factory had a small output and had to hire logistics companies to transport bulk goods.
In addition to the one-time investment in tools, the labor cost of the driver is also essential for transportation. However, if Chen Mobai has a puppet instead, he can save this money.
It's just that if the puppet wants to go on the road, it needs to go through a special approval process on the Xianmen side, and it can only run specific routes.
After Chen Mobai completed the order for transportation tools, he immediately asked Qin Baipeng for help. He first opened a puppet route between Danxia City and Yumu City next door, so that in the future, Chiyang Spirit Wood can be transported regularly in an endless stream. Go into your own factory.
Busy.
The time soon came for the first day of school.
Chen Mobai could only put aside the matter of the puppet factory for the time being and return to Chicheng Cave.
In addition to registering for eighth-grade courses, the most important thing is that his second-level Talisman Maker assessment is about to begin.
Of course, the student union also needs to coordinate the course schedule between teachers and students at the beginning of the new semester. After Hua Zijing graduates, many things need to be done personally.
Fortunately, thanks to the effectiveness of Enlightenment Tea, he was already confident about taking the professional exam.
"Congratulations, you will be a second-level Talisman Maker from now on."
In the classroom in Chicheng Dongtian that specializes in assessing the drawing of talismans, Chen Mobai took out his full collection of various talisman pens in front of three examiners, and under the full camera, and completed the drawing of ten second-level talismans in a smooth manner. All in one go.
"Thanks."
After Chen Mobai shook hands with the three examiners one by one, he completed the registration on the spot and received his professional seal representing the second-level Talisman Maker.
"Looking at the success rate and stability of your drawing, you should already be at the level of a second-level talisman maker. I heard that when you entered school, you were known as the number one talisman maker in your class. Why have you only come here now to take the exam for the second-level professional title?"
One of the three examiners is also a graduate of Wuqi Taoist Academy, named Zeng Xingfu.
Before the exam, he remained silent, but after Chen Mobai passed the exam, he no longer had to avoid suspicion and came over to say hello with a smile.
"There are a lot of distractions, so I spend less time on the art of making talismans. Only this year can I take the exam with confidence."
Chen Mobai was also telling the truth, but Zeng Xingfu thought he was being humble.
The three examiners witnessed the entire process of Chen Mobai drawing ten talismans, which far exceeded the average level of the second level. In some of the strokes and strokes, the shadow of the third level talisman maker could even be seen. .
"There are not many juniors today who are as talented and humble as Xiao Chen. He is worthy of being the most outstanding chief of your dance academy in the past century."
The other two examiners also came over and praised Chen Mobai greatly when they saw Chen Mobai, who was young and promising but not arrogant.
Zeng Xingfu's face flushed after hearing this, and he patted Chen Mobai on the shoulder with emotion.
"I hope that before I die, I can see another golden elixir master emerge from the Taoist Academy."
The examiners of Xiuxian Baiyi are generally civil servants who have passed the legal retirement age in the immortal sect, experts who are rehired in order to find something for themselves.
For example, Zeng Xingfu was over 180 years old. Although his face was well maintained, his hair was already gray.
Ten years ago, he used his life's savings of service and good deeds to exchange for a golden liquid jade rejuvenation pill. Unfortunately, the formation of the pill failed, and his essence and blood were lost.
Although Zeng Xingfu also took the life-extending elixir to replenish the life span lost due to serious injuries, according to the rules of the immortal sect, if Chen Mobai wants to obtain the elixir-forming spiritual object, it will take sixty years at the earliest, so he is very likely to see That day is not here anymore.
"Senior Chi Shicheng can exchange it for the Gold Liquid Jade Return Pill in another thirty years. Maybe Teacher Zeng can see the day when he forms the Pill."
"I hope it's as you said."
Chen Mobai's words made Zeng Xingfu burst into laughter.
Nearly half of the monks who have successfully established the foundation of the Immortal Sect are from the Four Dao Temples. Chi Shicheng is indeed the one who is most likely to form an elixir among those who graduated from the Wuqi Dao Academy in the past sixty years.
"Xiao Chen, I think you haven't joined the Talisman Makers Association yet. Are you interested? The association has many authentic talismans. Except for some ancient talismans collected in the Immortal Sect Museum, the inheritance of talismans can be said to be the entire Immortal Sect. The most numerous and most complete ones, and our president is one of the only two fifth-level Talisman Makers in the Immortal Sect, Master Yu Yi from Tianshu Academy."
One of the middle-aged female examiners named Yan Wanqing opened the invitation with a gentle face. Immortal sects all have their own associations for cultivating immortals and various arts. If the others want to join, they must at least be second-level Talisman Makers who have passed the examination.
In addition to the second-level professional seal, you also need to pass the exclusive examination within the Talisman Maker Association.
However, as long as three official members of the association nod, a new second-level Talisman Maker can join the association without taking the test.
As long as Chen Mobai is a talisman genius and is also the chief of the Wuqi Taoist Academy, the three people present are willing to be his guide in joining the guild.
"Well, because I have been focusing mainly on the Taoist Academy and the Puppet Tao in recent years, I may not have any extra time to spend on the Tao of Talismans before graduation."
Chen Mobai also told the truth. With the Pure Yang Scroll and Divine Consciousness foundation building completed, coupled with the puppet factory that was just on the right track, and future trade between the two worlds, etc., at least in the past ten years, making talismans has played a key role in his mind. The priority is the lower one.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, our Talisman Maker Association is a loose organization. It just provides a platform for everyone to communicate and learn from each other. Most of the Talisman Makers of the third level and above in the Immortal Sect are in the association. After you join, you only need to pay 100 per year. With the membership fee for good deeds, you can freely browse and download the talisman inheritance of levels one to four in the association, and the talisman-making tasks issued by the association are also voluntary, so you don't have to worry about being restricted."
Zeng Xingfu also gave a rare persuasion. Once Chen Mobai heard this, he no longer refused the kindness of the three examiners.
After filling out an application for membership of the Talisman Makers Association, Zeng Xingfu and the other two signed their signatures and then stamped their professional seals. The procedure was completed.
Chen Mobai couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw that Zeng Xingfu's seal turned out to be a third-level Talisman Maker.
But when you think about his age, it becomes clear.
After the foundation of the Immortal Sect is completed, especially civil servants, they have a lot of free time while waiting for the elixir to be formed. Since Zeng Xingfu graduated from the Wuqi Taoist Academy, he is naturally a genius. After nearly a hundred years of study, he has become A third-level Talisman Maker is a matter of course.
Because Chen Mobai was still thinking about various things in the new semester at the Taoist Academy, he just had lunch with Zeng Xingfu and the others, and after adding their contact information, he went back to Chicheng Mountain.
"President, how did you do in the exam?"
In the small foreign-style building in the student union, Zhuang Jialan saw Chen Mobai coming back and couldn't help but asked with concern.
"With the guidance of your little teacher, I will definitely pass."
Chen Mobai took out his second-level practice seal and said something teasingly.
"The president is a genius. Even without my guidance, he can pass it easily."
Zhuang Jialan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the seal.
In fact, she was still a little worried in her heart. After all, when Chen Mobai asked her for advice at the beginning last year, he was still a little unfamiliar. However, he learned faster and faster. Before taking the Enlightenment Tea, the success rate of one practice was basically the same. Seventy or eighty percent done.
"There's no conflict with the courses in the new semester, right?"
Chen Mobai asked about the work of the student union, and Zhuang Jialan immediately took out a document and mentioned that three of the courses had been canceled by the Academic Affairs Office due to too few students signing up. These students needed to take another elective course. door to avoid affecting the number of credits at the end of the year.
These matters need to be communicated by the student union.
However, some students may re-select courses that may not be accepted by the instructor due to too many students.
That's the case this year.
"I understand, let's inform Zhongli Tianyu, and the three of us will go handle this matter."
After the puppet factory started, Chen Mobai has decided to resign from the position of president of the student union at the end of this year. Although Zhongli Tianyu has a strange mind, he has a high level of cultivation and is the most capable player after their generation of chiefs. one of.
If he takes over, it can at least ensure that Wuqi Daoist Academy will remain number one in the entire Immortal Sect in the next three years.
Anyway, if there is another offline competition next time, Chen Mobai will definitely not go.
He has already cleared the level, it’s boring!
And it is estimated that the other Taoist academies will not send out graduates like last year, because then there will be no chance for young people to stand out.
Last year, due to special circumstances, Chen Mobai killed people in Xiaochitian, which made many people in the Taoist Academy a little unconvinced, so he came out like this.
Now everyone online and offline has been defeated by Chen Mobai, and no one will humiliate themselves anymore.
Chen Mobai stayed in the Taoist Academy for another month. After taking care of the busiest period of school, he asked for leave from Che Yucheng. The reason was to unite knowledge with action and apply the knowledge learned in the textbooks to practice.
Che Yucheng must have approved it.
"I also heard from Zhou Tiangong about your puppet factory. I heard that the factory is located in a fire-poisoned place. Do you need help from someone from the Taoist Master Department to deal with it?"
After approving Chen Mobai's internship application to leave the Taoist Academy this year, Che Yucheng asked with concern.
"Yun Yangbing has already seen it. He also passed the second-level Earth Master examination. He said that there is no big problem, just plant more trees. Since you mentioned it, teacher, can you see if you can apply for a second-level earth master for me. The red fruit tree and the fire spirit tree saplings are very suitable for regulating the fire poison in my land."
Che Yucheng didn't say anything, Chen Mobai was about to mention this matter, but he happened to catch up and immediately followed the words.
"As for the Fire Spirit Tree, just talk to Director Jin of the Spiritual Plant Department. Although the exchange time has passed, it can be handled according to special circumstances. Zhu Guoshu is in a bit of trouble..."
The Fire Spirit Tree is one of the tree species researched by Wuqi Taoist Academy. It is a spiritual tree that is specially planted on fire veins to survive. Due to its tenacious vitality, there are many tree species. Most of the first-year students in the Spiritual Plant Department This is all used for research.
One credit in the Taoist Academy can be exchanged for 10 first-level Fire Spirit Tree saplings.
After Che Yucheng called, a few freshmen from the spiritual plant department sent 100 saplings soon after.
"Logically speaking, the Zhuguoshu is not included in the student's credit redemption list, and the second-level spiritual trees are already mature, so transplanting them is very troublesome."
After Che Yucheng finished speaking, he made a few more calls. Finally, his expression softened slightly, and he seemed to have found a solution.
"Senior teachers of the Taoist Academy, director level can exchange for a red fruit tree. I will help you exchange for a second-level one in my own name."
"Thank you, teacher. I will transfer the credits to you."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly moved.
"Forget it, just think of it as a graduation gift given to you in advance by your teacher."
Che Yucheng said lightly, but Chen Mobai was even more moved. The value of the second-level red fruit tree must be high. After all, he would need 20 credits to exchange for a second-level red fruit tree.
Later, when Chen Mobai went to transplant the red fruit tree with the students from the Spiritual Plant Department, he learned that a second-level red fruit tree requires 300 credits to redeem, which is equivalent to three pieces of equipment.
He could only record this kindness in his heart, thinking that he would definitely live up to Che Yucheng's teachings and must carry forward his puppetry.
