Chapter 76: End of Spiritual Root Test
"We are about to face the most important moment in our lives together. Brother Yan, are you nervous?"
On the way to the gathering place in the square, Chu Yi turned his head with interest to look at Gu Jiayan beside him and asked him how he felt now.
"What's there to be nervous about?" Facing the teasing of his naughty little sister, Gu Jiayan remained calm and composed. He didn't seem nervous at all, and even his pupils didn't change at all.
He had worked so hard for so many years just for this moment to come, so how could he be nervous? He was only excited.
"And we are not the only ones. There are so many others. Please don't turn a blind eye."
"cut"
Not amusing anyone, Chu Yi pouted in disappointment, suppressed his emotions, and pretended to be serious.
The spiritual root test was completed the day before yesterday. After more than a day of preparation, the government is planning to officially launch the Cultivation Academy today. The new students who were confirmed to enroll during the test arrived in Ning'an City yesterday to witness the completion of the academy with their own eyes today.
Then I attended the press conference for the elite class students.
Just like the Dragon Group, the country also intends to develop these future chosen ones into the face of the new era of cultivation. From the beginning of enrollment and classes, they will be well promoted to make other countries jealous.
As the direct disciples of the Dragon Lord, she and Gu Jiayan were of course the focus of attention, which was why she said this to Gu Jiayan just now.
She herself had experienced countless live broadcasts and press conferences and had long been immune to them, but Gu Jiayan had never experienced them. Although he is very talented, he is not yet at the age where he can make any major discoveries, so he does not have as much experience as Chu Yi in dealing with the media.
However, as people like them who are very outstanding, they are naturally very confident. Even without experience, Gu Jiayan is not at a disadvantage.
Soon, under the guidance of the soldiers, Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan arrived at the meeting place.
The others had arrived early and were gathering in groups of three or four, chatting.
Chu Yi took a quick look and found that only a few leaders had not arrived. They should still be discussing the details with Dragon King in the main hall of the Taimiao, and they probably won't show up before the scheduled time. The only people gathered here, apart from the soldiers who were there to keep watch, were students from the elite class. Most of them were familiar faces, with only a few that she didn't recognize.
But this is only for her other identity. For Chu Yi, she doesn’t know anyone here.
So she looked very interested and stared at everyone with shining eyes. There was no malice in her gaze, and no one was disgusted, so they just let her look at them. Anyway, it was pretty much like this when they first arrived.
Here, she and Gu Jiayan were silently observing their future classmates, and others were also silently paying attention to them. The fact that they can come here today shows that they are not mediocre. I think they have at least a top-grade spiritual root.
A bunch of people looked at each other for less than two minutes before they were interrupted by a female voice that changed with excitement: "Mrs. Daju! Is it really you?!"
"Hmm?" Chu Yi tilted her head in confusion when she heard the familiar name, her eyes wandering as she looked at the girl who was excitedly rushing towards her.
In a blink of an eye, this excited person who was suspected to be a fan of Chu Yi appeared in front of her. Before Gu Jiayan, who was standing beside him, could reach out to stop him, the other party stopped on his own accord, put away his open arms, and just stared at Chu Yi with red cheeks and shining eyes.
Seeing that she didn't do anything out of line, Gu Jiayan didn't take any action. Judging from the situation, she should be a loyal fan of Chu Yi and would not hurt her, so there was no need for him to interfere. However, he did not leave Chu Yi's side. He knew a person's appearance but not his heart. He was still wary of strangers who were showing excitement.
Shi Fan didn't know what the head of the Chu Yi family was thinking. Now she only had eyes for her beloved wife. Facing her idol, she shouted incoherently: "Oh my God, it's really you! Ahhhh, I saw the real person!!!"
"Calm down, dear, who are you?" Looking at her reaction, Chu Yi guessed that she must be his die-hard fan, but he didn't know who she was and whether she left messages often. If the interaction was active, she should know the other person.
Being addressed by her, Shi Fan seemed even more excited. She couldn't help but let out a series of screams, then embarrassedly covered her mouth with her hands under the curious gazes of others behind her.
Chu Yi was amused by her reaction. She couldn't help but smile even more. She reached out and patted her little fan on the shoulder, saying in a friendly manner, "Hello, my name is Chu Yi, what's your name?"
Being addressed so friendly by her own wife, Shi Fan could no longer care about being excited. She took a few deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and replied in a voice that was still a little trembling: "Hello, madam, my name is Shi Fan, ID Mizi is the cutest. I just received your work, I wonder if you have any impression of it?"
As soon as Chu Yi heard the ID, he knew who the person in front of him was. He was indeed her fan, and a die-hard fan among die-hard fans. Unexpectedly, they met here by chance. She happily held Shi Fan's hand and said, "Of course I remember you. I didn't expect you to be Mimi. You are as cute as your ID. Thank you for your support over the years."
When she held her hand, Shi Fan became excited again, but after a few minutes of buffering, her condition had at least stabilized. She just held Chu Yi's hand back and gave her a shining smile.
"Madam, you are the cutest. I'll tell you a little secret. I was attracted to you because of your looks."
It's not just her. Many people fell into Chu Yi's trap because of her looks. There are not many anchors who can withstand the high-definition unretouched original camera. Later, these talents became fans of her technology because of her exquisite craftsmanship.
Chu Yi knew this. From the very beginning, she had a deep impression of the ID 'Mimi is the cutest'. After all, there weren't many people who would give her a bunch of gifts right from the start just because they thought she was pretty.
"Okay, just call me Chu Yi. It's still a bit embarrassing to hear people call me Madam in real life." It was like they were playing some weird game.
"Okay, then can I call you Xiaoyi?" Shi Fan didn't care, but since her wife said so, of course she agreed.
"Sure." Chu Yi could accept it as long as she didn't call him his wife. "Then I'll call you Xiao Fan too."
After they had agreed on their names, the two of them gathered together and started chatting, completely forgetting about everything else.
Gu Jiayan looked at the two little girls and smiled helplessly. He was too embarrassed to disturb them, so he had to move closer to the classmates who were gathered together. Seeing him coming, others showed goodwill, nodding and smiling, or greeting him in a friendly manner.
One of the handsome guys who looked quite romantic was the most enthusiastic. He took two steps forward with a smile on his face and was the first to extend his hand. "Long time no see, Gu Jiayan. I'm Qin Hang. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Gu Jiayan certainly still remembered this highly recognizable face and name. He extended a hand to shake his hand and smiled back, "Of course I remember. It's not so easy to forget a famous figure in the business school."
He and Qin Hang in front of him are alumni. Logically, they are from different departments and should not have any intersection. However, they are both young talents with outstanding looks. Whenever the school has any activities that need to be shown off, they will be dragged along. In this way, even if there is not much interaction between them, at least they are not strangers.
"Hahaha, we are the same. You are not even the head of the School of Chemistry. I don't know how many seniors and juniors in our School of Business were fascinated by you."
Seeing that he still remembered him, Qin Hang smiled more cordially. After releasing their clasped hands, he punched Gu Jiayan on the shoulder and asked with concern, "How is your lab going? Now that you are going to enter the academy, can you still come here?"
Gu Jiayan did not have any special reaction to the kindness and closeness he showed. This famous young man in the capital was just trying to win him over. He had expected all this.
It was all about human relationships and he had no objection to it. Besides, as a well-known figure in the capital, it was a good thing for him to be on good terms with Qin Hang. Therefore, Gu Jiayan did not perfunctorily deal with the other party's concern, but replied very seriously: "The laboratory has been closed. Cultivation is not an easy thing. I don't have that much energy to take care of it."
"Indeed." Qin Hang greatly agreed with Gu Jiayan's actions. Just like him, he was lucky enough to participate in the festival this time, and washed out a top-grade spiritual root. He also immediately gave up his identity as the heir of the Qin family and devoted all his mind to new challenges.
In this day and age, those who cannot distinguish between the two and want to hold on to both sides are the stupidest. Even if they have good spiritual roots, their future achievements may not be as good as those who have not so good spiritual roots but work very hard.
He added: "And now that spiritual energy is gradually changing the world, the previous theorems and formulas may no longer be applicable. We have to study them again, which requires even more energy. I'm afraid that even after several generations of hard work, no results will be achieved."
This sentence hits the nail on the head. Since the revival of spiritual energy, countless scientists have collapsed. Although they have not yet reached the point of suicide, it is inevitable that they will become discouraged. These are things that everyone has invested all their efforts in pursuing, and then one day they are overturned, and everything has to start all over again. Not everyone can bear this blow.
Just like his mentor, if several students had not discovered it early, he would probably have passed away regretfully because of his momentary depression.
Thinking of some of his old friends who were devoted to scientific research, Gu Jiayan couldn't help but sigh. He shook his head and said helplessly, "That's right. Today, we are just like the pioneers of the past. Facing a strange world, we can only fight our way through. But that's easier said than done. We don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe a small immortal will appear in the world and make all our efforts go to waste."
Fortunately, scientific research is just a stepping stone for him to knock on the door to the truth. In the past, one could only understand the truth through research, but now this road is paved directly under his feet, so there is no need to persist.
