Chapter 184 Showcasing Talent, Autumn Leaf Town
Inside the bamboo house schoolhouse in the mountains.
When the eagle demon master saw the Rejuvenation Technique performed on Lin Li's palm, his eyes suddenly lit up.
What a gift!
To achieve this level in just six months is absolutely outstanding among the lesser demons of recent years.
With such qualifications, if given guidance, it is estimated that they could enter the inner dormitory in less than a year, and the chances of entering the upper dormitory are extremely high.
In the Autumn Mist Mountain today, any demon clan member who can enter the Upper Abode is considered to have entered the core circle of Autumn Mist Mountain.
After all, the one who teaches magic and supernatural powers in the upper house is the old mountain master of their Qiulan Mountain.
Currently, the other two Foundation Establishment stage demons in Qiulan Mountain are graduates of the Upper Abode.
'This little white ape seems to have a superior first-tier bloodline aptitude; it's definitely among the top tier of these lesser demons.'
"Very good."
The Eagle Demon Master was in a good mood.
The more students he teaches at the upper-class academy, the more Qiulanshan contribution points he receives.
This is a good thing.
The Eagle Demon Master has a large family of demon clan members to take care of in this town. Earning more contribution points will allow him to provide more subsidies for his family.
"it is good."
"Bai Yao, you did a great job."
"Your talent is very high, but remember not to be arrogant. In the path of cultivation, refining Qi is just the foundation."
"You have this talent; remember not to let it go to waste."
"This Rejuvenation Technique is merely a low-grade first-tier technique, and among magical arts, it is only the most basic one."
"Come with me after school ends."
"I will personally instruct you."
The Eagle Demon Master spoke to Lin Li in a slightly gentle tone.
now.
Bai Xiaomei, sitting next to Lin Li, stared blankly at the soft green light that Lin Li was holding in his right hand.
Having cultivated for so long, I've always carefully guided the spiritual energy within my body, but I can only manage to conjure up a tiny, rice-grain-sized Rejuvenation Technique. That small Rejuvenation Technique is only good for treating ants and small mice.
For the Qi-refining demon race, it would probably only have some effect on minor scratches.
But this little monkey succeeded in demonstrating it in just six months.
This was the first time Bai Xiaomei realized what it meant to be a genius, as described in the illustrations for the story.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Li nodded in response and then sat down.
The desired effect was achieved.
As long as one improves steadily step by step, once one's bloodline aptitude is detected as second-tier lower grade, the Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators within Qiulan Mountain will naturally try to obtain Foundation Establishment spiritual items for them.
This gradual, step-by-step advancement in qualifications will allow for steady improvement.
As for the mystical arts and techniques.
Lin Li chose to give up directly.
Once you choose to cultivate the Xuanmen techniques, it is highly likely that the Devouring Dragon Gu will detect it. After you start cultivating, it is very likely that one or two years later, that Nascent Soul stage Devouring Dragon Gu will descend upon Autumn Mist Mountain.
It is highly likely that the only thing separating the Northern Yue Kingdom and the Southern Yue Kingdom was a single mountain range.
Regardless, as the reincarnation of the Gu clan in the Spirit Realm, the Devouring Dragon Gu will be suppressed by the rules of this realm for its entire life, remaining firmly in the Nascent Soul stage. If it wants to advance to the Divine Transformation stage, the Divine Transformation Tribulation will teach it to be a Gu.
"Who else is coming..."
Immediately, the Eagle Demon Master's expression turned serious. His gaze swept over the other lesser demons besides Lin Li. Many of the lesser demons who had raised their heads earlier now looked like frightened quails, shrinking back slightly and not daring to utter a word.
"Bai Xiaomei".
The Eagle Demon Master glanced at Bai Xiaomei sitting next to the little white ape and said calmly.
He seemed to have seen Bai Xiaomei a few times before. Bai Xiaomei and Su Baiyao were very close, and they seemed to have talked quite a bit. So, they couldn't be too bad off!
"Master, it's me?"
Bai Xiaomei stood up, raised her right hand and pointed to her little head, her big eyes showing some surprise. Among so many little monsters, she was chosen.
Then, Bai Xiaomei glanced at the little white ape sitting in its seat looking at the illustrated book, and felt a little bitter.
"certainly."
The Eagle Demon Master's tone became more forceful.
Although this little spirit bird, Bai Xiaomei, is a monster from outside the town, she belongs to the Qiulan Mountain area. Moreover, her father was seriously injured in a battle with an evil demon from outside the mountain when he was guarding the spirit fields outside Qiulan Mountain.
The dean then gave the Lingque family a place to enroll.
This little sparrow's comprehension and aptitude are indeed very poor.
I estimate I'll have to leave before I even reach the inner school, but with the status of a student at the Four Seasons Academy, settling down in town and finding a job won't be too difficult.
"Yes, Master."
Bai Xiaomei's eyes widened as she began to concentrate on casting several spells of the Rejuvenation Technique.
In the end, all that was produced was a tiny green dot the size of a grain of rice, which slowly undulated in the palm of the hand.
Some of the little demons in the school who had just been greatly stimulated began to secretly laugh, even though they were worse than the demons.
As expected, little monsters with extraordinary comprehension like the little white ape are always an extremely rare existence.
"Sit down."
Keep up the good work.
The Eagle Demon Master nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Even though she gets along well with Su Baiyao, her talent and comprehension are really lacking!
"Tie Dashan, come here."
...
The Eagle Demon Master then turned his gaze to the other lesser demons.
"Today we will learn three new spells, which are much easier than the Rejuvenation Spell, and can be helpful for those with less talent and comprehension."
"I will demonstrate it first, and you can choose one that suits you to study and practice."
"If you have a high comprehension level, you can learn several."
"The first one."
"Wind Drawing Technique!"
After saying this, the Eagle Demon Master raised his hand and smoothly cast seven hand seals.
Wow!
In the blink of an eye, a pale blue breeze appeared around him, causing his robes to flutter even without wind, and his white hair to move with the wind, making him look quite imposing.
The Eagle Demon Master had his own selfish motives. If one student from their lower academy could enter the inner academy after only half a year, he would gain more contribution points than if he sent one hundred ordinary students who had been there for more than three years into the inner academy.
"The second one."
"Water Armor Technique!"
The Eagle Demon Master continued to cast spells, his hand seals flowing smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, a semi-transparent light blue water curtain enveloped his figure.
"The third one, Frostbite!"
Immediately after forming hand seals, the Eagle Demon Master's hands were enveloped in a thin layer of frost.
Lin Lidu wrote them all down.
Not difficult.
Let's wait until after January, when everything has been demonstrated, before entering the inner dormitory school.
The Eagle Demon Master's gaze kept drifting towards Lin Li's location. When he saw Lin Li carefully watching him cast a spell, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
Soon, the sun began to set.
When school ended, Bai Xiaomei watched the little white ape and the teacher leave together, and couldn't help but feel a little lost. How wonderful it would be if she could understand more and comprehend things more thoroughly.
No matter how hard she tried, understanding the art of rejuvenation remained difficult.
However, this time, the Wind-Gathering Technique was quite easy to master. In just the first lesson, he had already memorized the entire technique. Moreover, the Wind-Gathering Technique was extremely suitable for the little monsters of their avian race.
Lin Li followed the Eagle Demon Master all the way to a two-story pavilion in the academy.
"Bai Yao, have you memorized all the spells you learned today?"
"If there is anything you are interested in or have any questions about, you can tell me, Master."
"Your comprehension and talent are both excellent, and you're so young."
"The future is bright!"
"If you can enter the Inner Dormitory School before you turn six next year, you will be the youngest student there."
The Eagle Demon Master encouraged Lin Li, who looked like a little monkey, and then lowered his body and patted Lin Li's shoulder.
"I have remembered everything the Master said."
Lin Li nodded.
He then unleashed all the spells from those three techniques one by one.
The movement was so fluid that it could even draw upon the surrounding elemental energy.
"it is good."
"Very good."
Upon witnessing this scene, the Eagle Demon Master couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes. With such a young and talented student, Su Baiyao's entry into the Inner Dormitory could be brought forward.
They will definitely be able to enter the inner school before the age of six.
Moreover, given his speed of comprehension and his superior first-tier bloodline aptitude, his future at Shangshe Academy is almost a certainty.
"Master, I have a few more questions to ask."
Lin Li then pretended to ask a few questions, all about the control of spiritual energy, and the questions were all very well-chosen. Once you understand them, you will be able to cast spells smoothly very quickly.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the Eagle Demon Master's mind.
Unexpectedly, the questions raised by this little white ape were all very crucial.
Even he himself back then could only dream of such talent.
The Eagle Demon Master had previously attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The Mountain Lord had prepared a Foundation Establishment spiritual item for him, but he still failed. However, the item had a life-saving effect.
His injuries were not serious, and he even advanced to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
He was significantly stronger than the average Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator. Many cultivators who failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage could only reach the Qi Refining Level 10.
Although there is a 10-20% chance of advancing to Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment spiritual items are extremely precious, and it is impossible to waste such a 10-20% chance. After that, this Eagle Demon Master can only be a teacher in the lower-level school of the Four Seasons Academy.
The teachers at the Lower Academy rotate every three years. There are a total of five teachers at the tenth level of Qi Refining in Qiulan Mountain, who take turns teaching.
gradually.
The sun is setting.
It wasn't until evening that Lin Li left the Four Seasons Academy, heading down the mountain path and stone steps towards the town below.
On the protruding cliff outside the Four Seasons Academy, the Eagle Demon Master stood with his hands behind his back, looking with satisfaction at the little white ape's back as it descended the mountain. "This child is teachable."
The talent that Su Baiyao displayed was indeed unprecedented in his life.
The progress has been very rapid.
With just a little guidance, he grasped the concepts perfectly and could even apply them to other situations. This level of comprehension, combined with Su Baiyao's age, definitely earned him the title of a genius.
...
The outermost edge of Qiuye Town, located halfway up Qiulan Mountain, is surrounded by several concentric circles of stone houses, all built of stone, encircling the entire town.
Furthermore, the area surrounding the stone houses outside the town is all under the protection of the formation.
Lin Li now lives in a small stone house on the outermost edge of the courtyard.
In this life, there is only one human mother and one monkey demon aunt. This small courtyard was rented with the help of the monkey demon aunt, Su Xiuniang, who is a first-class low-level talisman painter.
We have a long-term partnership with a talisman shop in Qiuye Town.
The main reason is that Su Xiuniang also graduated from the Four Seasons Academy, specifically from the Inner Dormitory School. It was precisely because of this identity that she had the qualifications and strength to rent a stone house on the outskirts of Qiuye Town.
When Lin Li returned to the stone house, he saw a young woman inside embroidering a silk robe stitch by stitch.
Zhou Qing.
She was the human mother of Lin Li, the spirit monkey in this life.
There was still food left on the table inside the house. Zhou Qing had been doing embroidery work day and night for the past few years, earning a few spirit stones a month.
It was only with the help of Su Xiuniang that they were able to survive in Qiuye Town.
"Mother."
Lin Li looked at Zhou Qing, who was focused on her work, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Mu is back. Quickly eat all the spirit rice on the table."
"You have no idea, several people have come to our neighborhood today. Your classmates in the school all told me that you, Xiao Mu, have learned the Rejuvenation Technique in just half a year. The teacher even kept you behind to teach you the technique."
"Those families gave us spirit rice and spirit fruit, and I couldn't refuse them, so I accepted them all."
Upon seeing Lin Li, Zhou Qing quickly stood up, put down her work, and smiled broadly.
"Xiaomu."
"My cultivation level is not high; I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining."
"Their qualifications are also low."
"With only four spiritual roots, it won't help you much in terms of cultivating magic. However, your aunt knows about this and says she'll come to our house tomorrow to buy you some spiritual medicine."
Looking at her child, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
It's just that my own aptitude is too low. My own child, Xiao Mu, has been very sensible since he was a child, learns things very quickly, and has a first-class aptitude, which makes my aunt, Su Xiuniang, value him highly.
After seeing that Xiao Mu was over four years old, they sent him to the Four Seasons Academy.
The descendants of students who graduated from the inner school of the Four Seasons Academy have the opportunity to obtain a place. Su Xiuniang used one of her places at the Four Seasons Academy.
"Mother has helped Xiaomu a lot."
"My aunt has helped me a lot too, Xiaomu, I know that."
Lin Li said very sensibly, and then didn't say anything more, but started to show off his food.
The spiritual rice contains spiritual energy, which is beneficial to one's own cultivation.
Since they have chosen to showcase their talents, they no longer need to refine their cultivation level further, as their foundation has already been built to a very solid level.
