Chapter 4: Painful Choices
Liu Yu used to be my roommate, and he came to Fangming Academy nearly seven months later than me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info So he's been alive in this damn world for seven months less than I do.
Before the third level of Warlock, almost all of the students' time was spent cultivating their Yuan Qi into the body.
The most necessary prerequisite for becoming a monk is that you must have a root root.
What exactly is the root and where is it in the human body?
The root is in the dantian, and it is an extremely fine wisp of gas. With this repeated qi as traction, you can independently absorb the vitality in heaven and earth, preserve the vitality into the dantian, and become a monk.
The chance that a mortal has a root is about 2 in 1,000 in the book.
Therefore, as long as someone is found to have a Yuan Root at the age of sixteen and is sent to a graduate academy to study, they will definitely do their best to cultivate. I don't want to waste a single bit of my time. Because, becoming a monk not only can you have great power, but most importantly, you can greatly extend the life of a monk!
That's why there are very few idlers like me hanging around in the academy. Yesterday, it was really because I had been cultivating for too long that I left the academy with strong vitality and went outside to relax.
Far from it.
Looking at Liu Yu's concerned look, I smiled reluctantly, and instead of replying to him, I asked him, "Early in the morning, if you don't take the opportunity to cultivate, where are you going?"
"Ah......" He suddenly smiled, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I went to go through the procedures for moving to the third-level dormitory, yesterday Teacher Wu Yun suddenly came to my dormitory to test my cultivation progress, and then I actually found that my dantian already had the vitality of a third-level warlock." ā
As he spoke, he couldn't stop smiling.
"That's good. I was stunned, and for some reason there was an unnatural look on my face, and I reluctantly smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You kid is really good." ā
Laughing, laughing, I could feel that my laughter was a little unreal. Am I jealous of him? Yes. I'm jealous of him. Envy him. Hate yourself why the monk's path has stopped.
The situation was a little awkward, and we didn't speak for a while.
He scratched the back of his head and said, "You practiced for another night last night?"
His words reminded me that I still have to go to the dean to deal with that ghost old man. I gave up anyway. Gave up.
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You go quickly, don't worry, I will go back to the countryside in a month." My dog must have missed me a lot. ā
Speechless for a moment.
"Go ahead. I said.
I watched his tall figure disappear behind the door of the third-level dormitory, and I didn't know what it was like to have mixed feelings in my heart for a while. He came seven months later than me, but he only lived in the first-level dormitory for a month, and then he cultivated to the state of a second-level warlock and moved to the second-level dormitory. Unexpectedly, only three months later, he cultivated to the rank of third-level warlock......
I never imagined that the future of two people who worked the same hard would be so different.
Shaking his head, Dongyang has completely risen. In the morning, the heavens and the earth were warmer. I tightened up, glanced at the red sun, and then looked at the red building where the dean was.
I hesitated. Am I really going to give up this opportunity? Maybe this old man is really a master of the world and wants to help me. It's like when I see a child crying on the ground, I'll kindly give him a candy to make him laugh.
But when I thought of his miserable face, I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart. I've heard a lot of stories about ghosts and ghosts in mortal schools before. Usually the goblins will come up with things that are very tempting to you, and in the end, you will never recover.
I've read too many of these stories in the book.
I thought of Liu Yun'er's beautiful face and the cute dog in my hometown again. I don't want to die. It's decided, go to the dean!
Knock.
The door opened.
His face was amazed.
I was nervous. Trembling. It took me a lot of time to intermittently, and I stammered and barely finished saying that I was a first-class warlock, and I seemed to be haunted by ghosts, Dean, can you help me and other nonsense. At the end of the day, even I don't know what I'm talking about.
No way, I'm not a good person at dealing with people. Especially with a big man like the dean who can run in the sky, I feel even more uncontrollably nervous.
"Goblins?" he stood up from a mahogany chair, his brow furrowed.
"What's your name, how long have you been living in the first level dormitory?"
"My name is Deming...... In the dormitory, it's been almost eleven months. "I hung my head, very ashamed. I can't wait to escape from here, the dean must be laughing at me in his heart, a waste who can live in a first-class dormitory for eleven months is worthy of coming to him to help bring down the ghosts?
The Dean's Office also serves as a meeting room for the college. So this room is very large, almost more than 100 square meters, and there is a large round mahogany table in the middle. There are a lot of chairs around the table, which are also red. The floor was green, and I stared at the green floor under my feet, and my heart became more and more trembling, ashamed, and what I wanted to say next was suddenly forgotten. Even the book in his arms that he had never flipped over because he was afraid and had never flipped it up with a black cover forgot to show it to the dean.
I just stood with my head bowed. I hope the dean will drive me away, and I won't be in such a painful situation again!
"What goblin?"
He was very thin and thin, wrapped in a cyan gown. At a hurried glance at the door, I only knew that he was about a middle-aged man in his forties, with a pair of sharp eyes. It was the first time I had seen the dean so closely. This was also the second time I had seen him, the first time he had seen him when he was teaching those high-level warlocks to practice Yuan and Body Techniques in the academy's martial arts training ground. At that time, when he was running, he stepped off the ground, ran higher and higher, and finally ran straight into the air dozens of feet high and walked on the ground!
I've always been in awe of people who are better than me. What's more, the person in front of him was the dean of Fang Ming Academy, a powerful ninth-level warlock.
"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, talk slowly, what's going on. He repeated it again.
This time, his voice was soft, dissolving some of my awe, and I raised my head to meet his eyes, the sharpness of his eyes replaced by kindness.
"Knock Knock"
I had just opened my mouth to tell me more about my experience yesterday when there was a sudden knock on the door. The dean smiled at me and walked to the door.
The door opened.
More than a dozen people came in one after another, most of them middle-aged, and few young people. Seeing this, I quickly lowered my head, not daring to look at them closely, so I don't know if Teacher Wu Yun was among these dozen people.
But I felt the aura emanating from them, all as vast and unfathomable as the sea. This is a manifestation of the many vitality in the body......
They should all be teachers who teach warlocks above level 4.
I stood awkwardly and nervously, my nervousness reaching the extreme. It's the first time I've been in front of so many masters. I felt like I couldn't even breathe naturally, my hands weren't hanging down, my back wasn't my back, I wasn't holding my arms on my chest, and I had to hold them together, my fingers fighting.
"Dai ...... This student, you go back first, and I'll go back to you. ā
The dean's words are as beautiful as heaven. I bowed my head, and under the gaze of many high-ranking warlocks, I blushed and escaped from the dean's room with some unsteady steps.
I don't want to go back to my dorm at this time. Stimulated by Fang Cai, he didn't have the appetite to go to the cafeteria to eat. Unconsciously came to the plane tree next to the martial arts training ground.
"Hey...... Are you looking for that ninth-level warlock to destroy me?" an old voice suddenly appeared in my head. I was so scared that my butt on the grass jumped up. The hairs on my right foot stood on end at the same time.
"Where are you?" I could already hear.
"Don't say that he is a mere ninth-level warlock, even a real foundation building period monk is here, and Lao Tzu doesn't pay attention to it! You kid really has no chance at all, Lao Tzu gave you this great opportunity, you are so afraid that you don't even dare to open the "Yin and Yang Law" I gave you, how could Lao Tzu enter your waste body yesterday!
