Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world
Chapter 58 Setting Off on a Trial
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed like sand slipping through our fingers, silently passing by.
As the dean's personal disciple, Lu Lingxi Yao enjoys unique treatment. She does not have to follow the strict schedule of other students, allowing her to arrange her studies and cultivation as she pleases. She can go to class to learn new knowledge whenever she wants, or stay in her own little world if she has something else in mind.
During this period, Lu Lingxi often retreated into her space to study pills or poisons. Day after day, she was immersed in the interplay of medicinal fragrance and reagents, finding great enjoyment in it.
However, as time goes by, even the deepest interest can inevitably lead to a sense of weariness.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind: instead of wasting time in the academy, why not throw herself into the vast world and gain some experience? Besides, she had taken on quite a few missions. Although these missions did not have time limits, wouldn't it be a good thing to complete them while gaining experience?
For her, the experience was not only a test of her mind and body, but also an essential path to a higher level.
However, by accumulating points through completing tasks, she can enter the Jade Tower. Besides improving her cultivation, she also harbors a more important purpose in her heart.
The words her grandfather, Lu Lingyuntian, spoke on the eve of her first day at the academy still echoed in her ears.
Lu Lingyun slowly spoke, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity, "Yaoyao, there is something I have never mentioned to you before, and that is about your father and mother."
Lu Lingxi Yao's gaze fell on Lu Lingyun Tian, with a hint of confusion and doubt. Why would he suddenly decide to tell her about this past now? Wasn't he always avoiding these topics?
Lu Lingyun sighed softly and continued, "You don't need to be surprised or confused. Now that you're an adult, there are some things you need to understand. As for what to do next, I believe you will make your own judgment."
He paused, as if gathering his thoughts, before continuing, "Your mother came from a higher plane, but we still don't know what that plane is. Shortly after your birth, a mysterious man suddenly visited, and the next day, your mother left without a trace, leaving only a message for your father: to raise you well and never look for her."
Lu Lingxi Yao's face remained calm. She didn't actually have much emotional entanglement with the parents of this body.
However, a lingering obsession deep within the original owner's soul compels her to confront this past and fulfill those unfulfilled wishes.
"Grandpa, you just said that Mother came from a higher plane. What do you mean by that?"
Lu Lingxi's voice trembled slightly as she interrupted Lu Lingyuntian.
Lu Lingyun looked at her, a complex expression flashing in his eyes: "It was only after your mother disappeared that I began to realize that this world is far more complicated than we imagined. Beyond the Holy Spirit Continent, there is a much wider world. The dean of the Holy Spirit Academy is very knowledgeable. If you have the opportunity after entering the academy, you might as well ask him for some advice. At the same time, you can also inquire about whether there are any clues about your father inside the White Jade Tower."
Lu Lingxi nodded, her voice soft but firm: "I understand, Grandpa, I will."
At this moment, something seemed to touch her heart. Although she didn't have much affection for her parents, the obsession she felt for the original owner of the body forced her to embark on this journey to find the truth.
When this matter was mentioned, Lu Lingxi suddenly realized that she had completely forgotten about this important matter when she became an apprentice.
Having decided to go out and gain experience, she felt she should first go and say goodbye to that eccentric old man—her master—and take this opportunity to inquire about her father.
"Old man, uh, no, Master, I have something to discuss with you."
Lu Lingxi's voice reached Zisang Gucheng's ears from afar. Three months had passed, and his apprentice hadn't seemed to have taken the initiative to contact him yet. A sense of disappointment and slight anger welled up in his heart. Despite his slight dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but walk towards the door.
"If you call me 'old man' again, I'll get angry."
Zisang Gucheng pretended to be serious, but a faint smile was hidden on his face. He was enjoying this little interaction between master and disciple.
Upon seeing this, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately put on a sweet smile, quickly stepped forward, naturally took Zisang Gucheng's arm, and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, Master, your disciple knows she was wrong."
"Look at your fawning face, you must want something from me. Tell me, what brings you here to see your master this time?" Zisang Gucheng's lips curled into a playful smile, already having guessed what was going on.
“Master, it’s like this. I’ve taken on a few training missions and was thinking of going out to gain some experience, so I’ve come to say goodbye to you.” Lu Lingxi’s voice was filled with determination and anticipation.
"Yes, real combat is indeed the fastest way to improve your strength, and I support you. However, I suspect that your purpose for this trip is not limited to this, is it?" Zi Sang Gu Cheng's gaze was profound, as if he could see into people's hearts.
Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, took Zisang Gucheng's arm and slowly walked to the table to sit down, the atmosphere becoming warm and formal: "Master is right. Actually, I have another request, and I hope Master can give me some guidance."
Upon hearing this, Zisang Gucheng focused his gaze even more intently on Lu Lingxi Yao, a hint of curiosity and concern flashing in his eyes: "Speak freely, your teacher will do his best."
"Master, besides the Holy Spirit Continent that we know about, are there any other continents in this world?"
Zi Sang Gu Cheng gently stroked his beard. "Disciple, although I have never been to those distant lands, my master once told me that this world is vast and boundless, divided into nine realms. They are: the Holy Spirit Continent, the Starfall Continent, where stars are said to rain down, each containing incredible power; the Illusionary Sea Continent, a place shrouded in mist, full of illusions and miracles; the Frost Continent, covered in ice and snow year-round, an excellent place to cultivate the power of ice; the Apocalypse Continent, the legendary site where the Gate of Apocalypse opened, a source of wisdom and enlightenment; the Azure Sky Continent, suspended above the clouds, known as the Sky City; the Ancient Continent, with a long history, burying countless secrets of ancient civilizations; the Netherworld Continent, where the boundary between life and death is blurred, a dwelling place for souls and shadows; and the Fallen God Continent, the place where gods fell, and the ultimate testing ground for power."
At this point, Zisang Gucheng paused slightly, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes, "And among these continents, the Holy Spirit Continent has the thinnest spiritual energy and the weakest average strength."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi's eyes gleamed with fervent light as she eagerly asked, "Master, how do we get to those continents?"
Zisang Gucheng smiled slightly, his gaze profound, "When your cultivation reaches the Spirit God Realm, the spiritual power within your body will condense into a divine spark. At that moment, the passage to a higher plane will naturally open for you. But remember, every step forward requires a corresponding price. Only those with a firm will can go further on this path."
With a hint of urgency and anticipation in her eyes, Lu Lingxi asked softly again, "Master, have you ever heard of the name Lu Lingchenxuan?"
Zisang Gucheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.
“Lu Lingchenxuan? He is my fellow disciple. It’s a pity that time flies and I haven’t seen him for many years.”
Hearing this, Lu Lingxi's eyes reddened slightly. She said softly, "He is my father. He mysteriously disappeared when I was three years old, and there has been no news of him since. Master, do you know any clues about my father?"
Upon hearing this, Zisang Gucheng's gaze suddenly sharpened. He stared at the girl in front of him in shock, as if he saw the shadow of his former junior brother at this moment.
"You...you are actually my junior brother's daughter! No wonder, no wonder you possess such extraordinary talent."
After the initial shock, Zisang Gucheng slowly began to recount the past events.
"Seven years ago, your father came to me and said that his wife's whereabouts were hidden in the White Jade Pagoda. However, I have never seen him since he came out of the White Jade Pagoda, and I don't know why he suddenly disappeared."
After hearing this, Lu Lingxi felt a mix of emotions, but she quickly made up her mind.
“I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the truth. Thank you for informing me, Master. I will set off on my training journey tomorrow. I hope you will take care of yourself, Master.”
Zi Sang Gu Cheng nodded gently, his eyes filled with reluctance. He took out three talismans that shimmered with a faint light from his spatial ring and handed them to Lu Ling Xi Yao.
"This is a teleportation talisman. If you encounter danger outside, simply burn it, and it will teleport you back to the academy in a short time. Please keep it safe."
Lu Lingxi Yao took the talisman, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She carefully placed the talisman into her Kunlun Ring, bowed deeply to Zisang Gucheng, and then turned and left Zisang Gucheng's courtyard.
