Chapter 321 Gu Xiao
Xiaoyao Town, Taiping Academy...
The early morning sunlight shines through the dense leaves into the academy.
White walls and black tiles, cornices and brackets, and a clear stream flowing beside the academy. The sound of gurgling water adds a bit of vitality to the peaceful atmosphere.
After a while, the bell rang, breaking the tranquility.
The door opened, and students came in one after another.
They wore uniform clothes and went to their respective courtyards talking and laughing.
Soon, the loud sound of reading began to play, kicking off the day...
In the classroom, an old man stood on the stage and explained the process and principles of spell release.
"The Water Mirror Technique condenses the water aura in the air and turns it into a pool of clear water. It is controlled to form a water curtain, and then the release is completed."
"This technique is simple and consumes less mana. Even if the condensed water loses control, it will not cause much damage."
"This is why the first spell taught to you by the teacher is this one."
"There are some important points to pay attention to. I will explain them in detail..."
After about half an hour passed, the teacher finished explaining the details and demonstrated it to the students below.
"Okay, you can start trying this technique now. If it can be released successfully, it proves that you have spiritual roots in your body, and you may be able to embark on the path of cultivation in the future..."
"yes!"
Sitting below were a group of 6-7-year-old children, who could not wait to experience the mysterious feeling of casting spells.
If it can be successfully performed, it means that you know in advance that you have spiritual roots. You will naturally be able to be more calm at the spirit testing conference soon.
In the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, a grand spiritual testing conference is held every three years, which determines the future fate of many people.
Before clarifying their spiritual roots, children will learn how to behave and understand the principles of the world in this ‘Transformation Courtyard’.
After years of research, education, and curriculum planning, teachers can use the simplest and easiest-to-understand language to shape a correct worldview and values for them.
Students who come out of the ‘Transformation Academy’ are often more rational and intelligent...
Of course, before that, there are naturally many wrong views that need to be corrected.
"Look, I made it!"
At this time, a little boy exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention, and saw that a pool of clear water had condensed on his hand.
"Quick, turn him into a mirror!"
A little girl on the side encouraged me.
The little boy nodded, closed his eyes, and began to control the water in front of him.
Unfortunately, the water ball swung left and right in his palm, unable to form a mirror, and finally exploded into water splashes, showering him all over.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, the children around him burst into laughter, and he also looked a little disappointed.
The teacher patted the table, making the whole room laugh.
"What's so funny? The fact that he condensed the water mass has already proven that he has spiritual roots. After passing the spirit testing conference and being assigned to the Immortal Cultivation Academy, as long as he studies hard, he can become an immortal cultivator!"
"You have the ability to laugh at him, why not try to see if you have the talent."
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, many of the children who had just laughed at him stopped talking and silently concentrated on releasing the 'Water Mirror Technique'.
If it can't be completed, wouldn't the person who laughed at it become a joke?
Later, several more people successfully condensed water balls, but they all failed in the final step of condensing into a mirror.
"Ha, isn't it just a matter of 'Water Mirror Technique'?"
At this time, a arrogant voice came out, attracting everyone's attention, wanting to see who it was that was so brazen.
But in his hand, a complete mirror floated steadily in the air, and the figure reflected on it could be seen from behind.
Obviously, this is the most standard 'Water Mirror Technique', but unexpectedly, it was successfully performed by a person who had not officially started practicing...
Even the teacher couldn't help but praise, "Very good!"
"It turns out to be Lu Qianyuan, no wonder."
"His parents seem to be monks, so it's not surprising that he has spiritual roots..."
"That's great. It would be great if my parents were also monks."
The children around were talking a lot. Many of them had tried it, but no matter what they did, there was no reaction at all. Let alone the water mirror, even the water ball was difficult...
"By the way, where is Gu Xiao? Did he succeed?"
Everyone looked sideways.
Even Lu Qianyuan looked aside after feeling proud.
But this time, he smiled even more wildly.
Just because the person he could never surpass didn't condense the 'Water Mirror Technique' like him, not even a water ball.
Doesn't that mean...
"Haha, Gu Xiao, it seems you don't know everything! At least, in terms of spiritual roots, I won!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiao raised his head and glanced at him, and said calmly: "It seems like this..."
"You...hum, no matter how clever you are, what's the use? Without spiritual roots, you can only be a mortal! Do you think you can still be as arrogant as before?"
Seeing that he was still unmoved, it gave him a feeling of being ignored.
It made him furious.
"If you want to blame it, blame it on your mother being a mortal!"
As soon as these words came out, the classroom fell silent for an instant.
"Bastard thing!"
The teacher who had just praised him shouted angrily, and then threw the crutch in his hand at him.
Boom!
It hit Lu Qianyuan on the head, causing a big bump.
Then, under the control of the teacher, it flew back to his hand.
"Who told you to say such a thing?"
"Since the founding of our Xiaoyao Xianzong, we have been harmonious with immortals and mortals, just because immortals come from mortals."
"Looking back on the past, whose ancestors were not mortals? How can you say words that despise mortals?!"
Lu Qianyuan had a bump on his forehead and lowered his head and dared not speak. In fact, he regretted it after saying that. After learning this lesson, he had nothing to refute.
"Besides, who says that mortals are definitely inferior to immortals?"
Seeing that his attitude of admitting his mistakes was okay, the teacher also let it go, but this idea that immortals are superior to others still needs to be reversed.
Coincidentally, Xiaoyao Xianzong has such an example.
Seeing that the students in the audience were attracted by his words, he asked:
"Lost Pearl, Yin Qin, Dean Yin, have you ever heard of it?"
"I know!"
"I know too!"
"I have heard her story countless times, how about telling a different one?"
"Haha", the teacher smiled and stroked his beard.
"Yes, he is gifted and intelligent, with extraordinary comprehension. At the age of 11, he could discuss Taoism with the sect master and created the magic of 'Broken Mirror Reunited'! Since then, he has been named 'Lost Pearl'."
"I believe you are all familiar with this story."
"Then I will tell you something you don't know."
"For example, the 'Water Mirror Technique' you just learned was also invented and improved by him. This technique is also one of the rare spells that can be released without cultivating mana..."
"As long as you have spiritual roots and are not three strange spiritual roots, you can release this technique."
"Therefore, even if some students did not successfully release the 'Water Mirror Technique' this time, don't be disappointed. Maybe you are the rare owner of strange spiritual roots!"
The students below who did not release the spells could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least they still have a chance, and it has not been determined yet, and the others who have confirmed their spiritual roots no longer feel superior.
At that time, if the person sitting next to you who is looked down upon by you turns out to be a strange spiritual root, it will be embarrassing!
They refocused their attention on the class, wanting to hear the teacher continue to reveal information.
As a result, the next moment, the teacher revealed a shocking secret!
"More importantly, Dean Yin is Gu Xiao's mother, the mortal mentioned by Lu Qianyuan!"
"Ah?!"
Everyone present opened their mouths in surprise, looking at Gu Xiao, who still had an unchanging expression, in disbelief.
Including Lu Qianyuan who was standing next to him.
Gu Xiao had never talked about his family background in front of everyone.
His father, a monk, usually picked her up and dropped her off at school.
His mother had always been a mystery...
Until one day, someone saw Gu Xiao being taken home by a beautiful mortal woman.
The next day, when he was curious and asked him, Gu Xiao did not hide it and answered truthfully that the person was his mother.
So far, the fact that Gu Xiao's mother was a mortal has become a consensus among the classmates.
But he did not expect that his mother was actually the legend among mortals, the lost pearl - Yin Qin!
