Another year has passed.
On this day, after finishing the meeting, Chen Mobai returned to his courtyard.
He had remodeled one of the rooms for artifact refining purposes.
After informing Shi Wanyu, he once again began his seclusion.
A simple red copper bell fell into Chen Mobai's palm—his Lifespan Artifact, the Morning Bell.
Because he had previously spent all his time on enhancing his cultivation realm, the Morning Bell was only nourished to the Third Rank Peak.
This was quite rare within the Immortal Gate.
Many cultivators capable of breaking through realms would train to the limits of their current realm early on, then pour their energy into their Lifespan Artifacts while waiting for elixirs.
Sometimes, the Lifespan Artifact would break through before the cultivator.
But for Chen Mobai, this process was reversed.
He cultivated too quickly; before the Morning Bell could react, he had already achieved Nascent Soul Formation.
