Chapter 103: Improved Mood

Noticing Su Qingwu's complicated mood, Su Wen immediately conveyed his thoughts.

"Is there any problem with the test of the Wuji Golden Pearl?"

"I don't know either. From the current situation, the test is presented in the form of an illusion, and no other problems have been found."

"Do you think the spirit of the golden bead is good or evil?"

"There is no clear distinction between good and evil. This test does have traps, but after passing the test, I also gained a lot and obtained a heavenly magic."

Hearing this, Su Wen was very surprised.

"There really is a heavenly realm?"

"Yes, according to the jade slip, after casting it, one can use the Earthly Evil to create a clone with the same strength as the original body. The spiritual power is endless and the clone is indestructible. Only a Heavenly Level technique can achieve such an effect."

"I remember that the dean of Wuji Academy once mentioned that the level of the Taoist magic obtained by participating in the test depends entirely on personal luck. Qingwu, do you think this is related to the difficulty of the test?"

"Maybe. I wonder if I had agreed to the tempting voice, would I have stayed in the illusion forever?"

"Based on what Dean Zhao Gu said, the test should be safe?"

Su Qingwu pursed her lips and replied:

"This is entirely decided by the spirit of the Wuji Golden Pearl. His dean was also appointed by this treasure. His words can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully trusted."

This made sense, and Su Wen turned to another matter.

"Can you tell me what you experienced in the illusion? If you feel uncomfortable, you will feel better if you speak out directly."

"When the test began, my memory of everything since I entered the Dao became blurry. In the illusion, I saw my parents and experienced a flood."

"In a fantasy test, what appears is often the thing you want to escape from the most. Qingwu, are you still unable to accept the death of your loved ones?"

Su Qingwu thought intently for a while and shook his head slowly.

"Since I started practicing Buddhism, I sometimes miss my parents, but I have been able to face the fact that they are no longer in this world. I have never thought of escaping. However, the flood, the suffocation and near-death feeling of drowning left a deep impression on me. Perhaps I have always been afraid of similar things in my subconscious mind?"

"I remember you mentioned that in reality it was a foundation-building monk from the Qianzhi Sect who saved you."

"Yes, it's Senior Sister Gong Ning Liugong. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Senior Sister Gong since she brought me into the sect. I have never been able to repay her for saving my life."

Having said this, Su Qingwu paused for a moment and then added a sentence.

"When I return to the sect, I will inquire about Senior Sister Gong's situation. If there is a chance to repay her kindness, I will definitely do my best."

......

After a cup of tea, Su Qingwu came to the small courtyard that Zhao Gu had prepared for her, set up a seal around it, took out the jade slip that contained the Disha Tianyin Jue, and began to try to practice.

Heavenly level magic is very difficult to practice.

The first few attempts all ended in failure.

Su Qingwu vaguely realized that her mind was still a little affected by the illusion, so she simply stopped and chatted with Su Wen.

The two talked about cultivation, daily trivial matters, and then mentioned the overall situation of Dongxuanzhou today, and made a general analysis of the strength of each sect and family.

After a long talk all night, the influence of the illusion on Su Qingwu finally disappeared completely, and his mood improved a little without him realizing it.

She began to devote herself to cultivation again...

......

Outside, the sun rose in the morning and set in the evening, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Every day in Wuji Academy is peaceful and calm.

Dean Zhao Gu specifically reminded him of this, so no one came to disturb Su Qingwu.

On this day, she came out of her cultivation state, and the aura emanating from her body became more mysterious and ethereal compared to ten days ago.

She successfully practiced the Disha Tianyin Jue, and from now on, she had mastered another powerful method to fight against the enemy.

After stopping his practice, Su Qingwu found the dean of Wuji Academy and brought up something.

"The seniors once said that the test can be repeated as many times as you want. Is there any restriction on this?"

Zhao Gu said bluntly: "Theoretically, no, after all, the spirit of the Wuji Golden Pearl has never mentioned anything like this."

"What about the reality?"

"Over the years, among the hundreds of cultivators who have entered the academy, several have mentioned to me that taking repeated tests in a short period of time may affect one's mind. However, this is a double-edged sword. If one can withstand the impact, one's state of mind will be further improved, which will be of great help to one's future cultivation."

"I wonder if you have ever taken the test yourself?"

"Of course I have participated in it. All together, I have participated in it hundreds of times."

"So does Senior experience a hallucination every time he takes a test?"

"Not entirely. Illusions account for about 70% of the total. As for the duration, it can be as short as ten days and a half a month, or as long as seven or eight months. Moreover, most of the time, I gained nothing. This is because I often get lost in it and am forcibly taken away from the illusion..."

Having said that, Zhao Gu glanced at Su Qingwu, with a rare look of surprise in his eyes.

"It took Su Xiaoyou less than a day to pass the test since he entered Mingxin Garden, breaking the record of Wuji Academy."

Su Qingwu didn't have any idea about this.

Rather than breaking records, she cares more about the results obtained from it. As for fame, it is ultimately illusory.

Thinking of this, she turned to ask:

"Will the same illusion test be repeated?"

Zhao Gu shook his head slowly. "I have participated in the test hundreds of times, and each time I encountered something different. I have never heard of any disciples in the academy mentioning that they encountered the same illusion, so this possibility should not exist."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu felt a little relieved.

She didn't want to experience the same illusion again.

Fuzzy memories, every time is equivalent to starting all over again.

What we have experienced in the past is the most real. If we ever get lost in it, even if we are eventually forcibly taken away from the illusion, when our memories are restored, it will most likely cause an indelible impact on our spiritual heart.

......

The next morning, as the sky gradually brightened, Su Qingwu left Wuji Academy.

She can come back here at any time, so the test has been postponed for the time being and is not planned to be continued in the short term.

The Wuji Golden Pearl controls the entire courtyard and has great powers. Therefore, Su Qingwu did not go to the space during this period.

Now that many days have passed, it is necessary to find another place to take care of the spiritual plants.

After flying all the way for about two incense sticks of time, they arrived at an uninhabited mountain range, quickly opened a cave, and set up the Xuanshui Formation.

After everything was done, he went to the Yuqing Mirror space with Su Wen.

The voices of many spiritual plants reached my ears at this moment. Their contents were similar. They all complained about the lack of water and urgently needed spiritual rain to irrigate them.

Su Qingwu immediately performed the Small Spirit Rain Technique and the Spring Breeze Rain Technique, and during the process of watering, he thought about something.

In the future, as her cultivation level improves, seclusion may become a common occurrence. Su Wen cannot touch things in space, and the spiritual fields can only be irrigated by herself.

Maybe we can find a way to make a few sets of tools for daily automatic watering?

If it succeeds, I won't have to worry too much about the existing spiritual fields in the future, and I can avoid situations like the one just now...
