Heavenly Soul Pavilion (V)
"Come quickly, I will teach you the magic!" Peony was eager to try.
Chu Caiwu trotted to Mudan and stared at Gong Jiao warily.
Mudan formed seals with her hands and demonstrated: "Like this, gather together, and then gather upwards."
A ball of light suddenly hit the table next to it.
Gong Hui and Gong Yu sighed: "Why would the demon race learn the immortal race's mental methods?" The two turned to laugh at Gong Jiao: "Look at the good apprentice you taught on a whim."
Gong Jiao was embarrassed, but he didn't complain. He continued to demonstrate the mental method to Mudan. Spiritual power surged from his body and spread over his arms.
It turns out that Gong Jiao taught Mudan the secret method, no wonder the two of them sat together.
Gong Jiao gathered his strength and swung out a ball of light, which exploded with a loud bang and split Gong Hui and Gong Yu's table into two halves.
"What are you doing? We haven't done anything excessive. Why are you chopping the table?"
Mudan chuckled, her eyes climbing up to Gong Jiao, unable to take her eyes off him in admiration.
Gong Jiao was very proud and looked at the two men provocatively.
Gong Hui and Gong Yu looked very disappointed in each other, as they were trying to show off for women and had no future.
Mudan was stunned for a moment and then pulled Chu Caiwu to sit alone on the other side, leaving Gong Jiao alone there.
Gong Jiao: "Don't leave, don't you want to learn anymore?"
A white-haired old man walked into the Xinshu Pavilion.
Everyone turned a blind eye. This old and frail man could not be an immortal official except for a rag-and-bone sweeper of the immortal clan.
The old man staggered over and bent down to pick up the table that was split in two.
Gong Hui: "Hey, old man, you have such a keen sense. Are you going to exchange the wooden board for immortal power now?"
The old man held the wooden board tremblingly, without saying a word.
When Chu Caiwu caught a glimpse of the old man, the image of Xiaojiu aging in the mortal world flashed through his mind, and he felt a little reluctant.
It is said that the immortals rely on immortal powers to maintain their appearance. This old man must not have immortal powers to maintain his appearance, but he is being ridiculed like this.
Chu Caiwu couldn't stand it and stood up suddenly, but was grabbed by Mudan. Mudan whispered: "Don't go, it's not worth it."
It’s not that it’s not worth it, but Mudan doesn’t know Chu Caiwu’s past.
Chu Caiwu didn't have any magical powers, and she was tired of being at the mercy of others. Now that this was happening before her eyes, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
The old man said calmly, "If you continue like this, you will be punished by the deputy instructor."
Yin Zhuo was the only assistant teacher, whose main responsibility was to monitor the classroom and maintain order. Xie Fu was very strict and told Yin Zhuo that any verbal offenses would be severely punished.
Chu Caiwu threw off the restraints and stood in front of the old man: "You are born into a noble family, but you are nothing but rotten cotton inside."
The old man put the two pieces of wood together and restored them to their original state.
Gong Hui and Gong Yu stretched their chins and stared at the old man in surprise, forgetting that they had been scolded by Chu Caiwu.
Chu Caiwu was suspicious, thinking that this person's magical power must be very high, otherwise the table would not have been restored to its original state.
The old man walked to the desk slowly and looked down at his disciples. "My name is Dan, my surname is Pang. I am fortunate to be your master of the Dharma."
A master of the inner cultivation technique? Chu Caiwu was startled and looked at Pang Dan carefully. It turned out that he was not an old man with low immortal power.
Pang Dan had a kind and friendly face, but when his eyes fell on Chu Caiwu, a flash of astonishment and disgust passed through his eyes.
Chu Caiwu also kept looking back at Pang Dan. She couldn't understand why Pang Dan had been staring at her for so long. Could it be that Pang Dan knew her?
It's impossible, not to mention that no one can break the Demon King's illusion.
Even if the illusion was broken, Chu Caiwu and Pang Dan could not have met before, let alone know each other.
Pang Dan gathered his thoughts and said, "Xie Fuke told you that there are three secret realm trials before graduation from the Heavenly Soul Pavilion?"
The eyes of the disciples were empty and they were all confused.
When Chu Caiwu heard about the secret realm, he wanted to prick up his ears and move closer to listen.
She wanted to go to the secret realm to find immortal ginseng for Yin Zhuo, but if she went there rashly, not only would she be unsure, but there might also be danger.
Chu Caiwu is not afraid of danger. If there is danger, there must be a countermeasure.
Pang Dan, the outer perimeter of the secret realm is covered with soul power barriers that no one except the Sect Master can break. The exception is that after three trials, you can enter the secret realm.
Some disciples were eager to try and boasted that they would go to the secret realm today to see if any monsters could be chopped into pieces.
Pang Dan said kindly, "The first level of the secret realm trial is what I taught you in my Heart Method class. No matter how powerful your immortal arts are, if you don't practice the Heart Method, you will fail."
Chu Caiwu thought quietly to herself, practice your mental skills, practice your mental skills. If she wants to win, she must come out on top in the trial.
Pang Dan: "Everyone here, if there are three people who can pass the mental method, it is already a blessing from your ancestors."
The hall suddenly became quiet, with not a sound.
Pang Dan's words were more than just a scolding to these immortal disciples who got in through connections.
It even directly points out that the families behind them are engaging in corruption and abusing their power for personal gain.
No matter how arrogant these disciples were, they were unable to refute at this moment. It was not because they did not dare, but because their minds were blank. No immortal official had ever dared to offend the family like this.
Pang Dan glanced at Chu Caiwu and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll give you a test to see if you can answer it."
Pang Dan: "The Heart Sutra class focuses on cultivating the mind and being kind. If someone were to pull out your tendons and bones, temper your soul, and refine elixirs, leaving you with a life worse than death, and that person imprisoned you under the banner of saving the world, what would you do?"
Chu Caiwu's hair stood on end. These words seemed familiar. She had been imprisoned by the head of the sect since she was born, and her blood was drawn every day as a bait.
Chu Caiwu was sure that Pang Dan couldn't possibly know her, otherwise Pang Dan's words would be like a hint to her.
The Immortal Clan disciple answered quickly, hypocritically saying, "I will willingly die for the sake of the people."
All the disciples burst into laughter. They knew that what he said was just to please Pang Dan, and in an extremely hypocritical way to please the statement that "the mind method class focuses on cultivating the mind and being kind."
Pang Dan knew very well that the disciple was saying things that were not what he meant in order to get closer to the correct answer.
Yet he continued to patiently instruct, "Kindness isn't about repaying kindness with hatred. Kindness without a bottom line is foolish kindness, not the kindness I cultivate in my Heart Sutra lessons."
Chu Caiwu glanced at the disciple. He was wearing expensive clothes, had a noble demeanor, and had clear eyes. He must be a man who would have a smooth journey and live a life of luxury.
Chu Caiwu couldn't help but feel envious. The disciple had not personally experienced the suffering of being exploited and imprisoned. He could not empathize with such a situation, so he was qualified to say such "righteous" words.
Mudan quickly replied, "I will end my own life to avoid this torture worse than death."
Gong Jiao's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Mudan with reluctance but admiration.
Pang Dan shook his head, then looked at Chu Caiwu and said, "What's your name? Tell me."
Chu Caiwu stood up and bowed: "Master, my name is Chu Caiwu."
The disciples had different looks in their eyes, but they all stared at Chu Caiwu.
Some felt regretful and lamented that Chu Caiwu had just stood up for Pang Dan, a favor they had earned for nothing, and they had missed out. Some felt jealous and resentful, wondering why she was the one getting special attention.
Chu Caiwu was concentrating on the problem, with no distractions: "I want to stay alive and save many people who are also being tortured."
Pang Dan was surprised: "Why don't you take revenge?"
Chu Caiwu muttered to herself that she was not that magnanimous. She did not seek revenge simply because she could not win.
That's the bleak reason.
A golden-robed disciple retorted, "When will this cycle of revenge end?"
Everyone burst into laughter. This was what the leader of the Immortal Clan often said. This golden-robed disciple was the leader's nephew, Dong Bai.
Chu Caiwu was furious. What the disciple said was easy for him to say.
Pang Dan waved his sleeves, and the medicinal powder flew towards the disciples, and they suddenly fell silent.
The disciples looked at each other in surprise, touching their throats. They wanted to speak, but they couldn't, as Pang Dan's powder forced them to be silent.
Pang Dan cleared the classroom: "Today's mental training class ends here." After that, he waved to Chu Caiwu, indicating her to come forward.
The disciples wanted to make an uproar, but could not make a sound. They stared at Chu Caiwu with envy.
Not long after entering the Tianhun Pavilion, Chu Caiwu stole the limelight. She was the only one with top soul power in the soul power test, and was more familiar with the deputy teacher Yin Zhuo than they, the other disciples. Even the strange old man Pang Dan appreciated her.
Fearing that she would achieve great things in the future, the disciples were terrified and did not dare to offend Chu Caiwu again or look down on her as a demon.
Chu Caiwu slowly walked towards Pang Dan. The old man's words were strange, talking about soul-tempering and alchemy, revenge. She always felt that the old man seemed to know her, but it was impossible.
Let's just assume that it's an illusion.
Pang Dan patted Chu Caiwu admiringly and said, "You are the best in this art of mind."
More than a dozen eyes fell on Chu Caiwu.
Chu Caiwu felt a little uncomfortable. Not to mention that none of them had formally practiced mental skills, she was already far behind others in terms of immortal arts alone.
Being flattered at this time not only made her jealous, but also put too much pressure on her. She only wanted to learn magic to save people, and when she became good at it, she would kill the leader.
As for whether he is the best in mind skills and the strongest in Tianhun Soul Pavilion, Chu Caiwu is not interested in this.
Chu Caiwu shook his head: "I am a very dull disciple, Master, you are praising me."
Pang Dan handed Chu Caiwu a bottle of pills with a purple halo and said, "This elixir is made by me in secret. It not only increases your immortal power, but also allows you to enter the immortal grass world outside the secret realm."
The powder gradually lost its effect. The disciples twisted their necks and touched their throats, and finally they were able to speak.
"Master, isn't it true that only those who have passed the trial can enter the secret realm? Why is she allowed to go?!"
"Master, I want to go to the Immortal Grass Realm too!"
Pang Dan: "So far, the only person who has qualified for the Heart Technique is Chu Caiwu. If you go there, I'm afraid you will be lost in the periphery." Pang Dan changed the subject: "However, if she is willing to take you there, that's fine."
Mudan said excitedly: "Rapeseed! Take me there, I want to pick some magical herbs and send them to the demon tribe!"
Gong Jiao pulled Mudan and whispered, "Rapeseed and peony are different. Are you sure you want to call them that?"
The name Peony is vulgar, and the rapeseed looks like it wants to eat people, which is really embarrassing.
Mudan knew she was wrong, so she covered her mouth and smiled at Chu Caiwu, whispering to Gong Jiao: "She won't blame me."
Chu Caiwu was indeed going to the fairy grass world to secretly pick fairy ginseng for Yin Zhuo, but why was the elixir Pang Dan gave him this time so coincidental?
Chu Caiwu couldn't refuse the pill, but he always felt something was strange. Only the magic power was purple, and the pill was emitting purple light.
The footsteps were strong, solid and steady, and Xie Fu stood in front of the door.
The disciples were trembling with fear, they were going to be scolded again. Xie Fu was coming, and it was sure to be no good.
Xie Fu angrily shouted, "Pang Dan, what are your intentions?"
He actually scolded his master this time? That's strange.
