Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Floating Dream Hot Spring
"The hot spring spewed forth, its mist like a dazzling mirror’s reflection, the white water cascading down like a rainbow after rain."
Teacher Yinxi pointed to the hot spring before her and spoke in a gentle tone, "This hot spring is known as the Floating Dream Hot Spring. Its waters are pure, rich with spiritual energy, capable of soothing the ridians and invigorating circulation, warming the yang and dispelling the cold, calming the spirit and the heart, and replenishing qi and nourishing blood. The spring’s warmth is unmatched, and soaking in it feels utterly comfortable, as if enveloped in a dream or drunk in slumber. Then, you’ll realize that all the worries and grievances of this mortal world, all the wars and strife, are but fleeting dreams."
Qin Sisi blinked her eyes looking at Teacher Yinxi, feeling that there was a deeper aning behind her words.
Yet Teacher Yinxi spoke no further, and with a gentle push of her palm, Qin Sisi found herself moving backward involuntarily, straight above the hot spring, followed by a "plop" as she fell into the pool, splashing water everywhere.
Teacher Yinxi raised her voice to give instructions, "You have half an hour. Afterward, co find
at the training ground we were just at."
With that, Teacher Yinxi turned and left.
Standing dazed in the hot spring pool, Qin Sisi took a while to realize that Teacher Yinxi had brought her here to soak in the hot springs on purpose.
Floating Dream Hot Spring, what a fine na. Since she was already here, she naturally couldn’t waste her teacher’s kind gesture.
Qin Sisi’s mood relaxed, she took a deep breath, stripped off her sweat-soaked clothes, and tucked them into her storage ring, subrging her entire body in the hot spring and only leaving her head exposed.
The spring water was clear and warm, gently wrapping around Qin Sisi’s body, washing away the dirt left by sweat and also the fatigue from her entire body.
Half an hour later, Qin Sisi reluctantly stepped out of the hot spring pool, dressed herself in clean clothes from her storage ring, and then retraced her steps to the training ground.
The roots they had used for their lessons had been cleared away, and the white circles marking distances had disappeared as well. Now it was just an ordinary piece of vacant land, very spacious and also very clean and quiet.
Only Teacher Yinxi stood there. Seeing Qin Sisi approaching, she lifted her arm and waved.
Qin Sisi hurried over and called out, "Teacher Yinxi."
Teacher Yinxi nodded her head, her wrist turning to reveal a crystal clear goblet in her hand, filled with a pool of jade-green liquid that looked like a piece of exquisitely colored jade.
She passed it forward, Qin Sisi quickly took it, looking at her with curiosity.
Teacher Yinxi said, "This is Jade Water from Tranquil Pond. At the highest point of Tianshui Mountain lies a small lake called Tranquil Pond. The water from the pond is as green as jade, hence the na Jade Water. Drinking a cup of this will keep you from hunger for three days."
Qin Sisi was overjoyed and imdiately brought it to her lips, taking large gulps.
The Jade Water from Tranquil Pond was cool to the taste, refreshing to the heart and spleen, but once it reached the stomach, it radiated a faint warmth. Her ridians beca moisturized and her energy seed more plentiful.
"Thank you, Teacher Yinxi," Qin Sisi said gratefully.
After these classes at Heaven Academy, each teacher had left her with a very favorable impression. Though their personalities varied, each was very responsible in their work.
In the past few days, she had faced quadruple the workload as punishnt. Each teacher had been strict with her but had also provided her with so assistance, which ward her heart.
"Let’s go, it’s ti for your next lesson," Teacher Yinxi replied indifferently, then turned and drifted away. Her water-green gown danced with the wind, flowing elegantly.
Qin Sisi glanced at Teacher Yinxi’s retreating figure and summoned the Wings of Rainbow to fly towards Tianhuo Mountain, where the next class was Teacher Huohuan’s Fire Magic Course.
The timing was just right, the other eight students had already arrived, but Teacher Huohuan had not.
Xiao ng knew that Qin Sisi had not returned all night again and couldn’t help but worry inwardly, no matter how sturdy one was, they couldn’t withstand such torturous deprivation of food and sleep.
Yet when Qin Sisi appeared before her, light on her feet, with a rosy complexion and sparkling eyes, Xiao ng was stunned—this didn’t look like soone who had been pulling all-nighters one after another!
Not just Xiao ng, everyone thought that even if Qin Sisi had sohow managed to complete the tasks of the past few days, she must look exhausted, worn out, and lackluster.
Ya Ling had been comforting herself with this thought, no matter how hard Qin Sisi worked, if she ate and slept poorly all the ti, she would definitely beco more and more unattractive, and Ye You would soon grow tired of her.
However, Qin Sisi’s current state was impeccable, and she even seed a few degrees more beautiful than before, leaving Ya Ling wide-eyed and speechless, unable to snap back to reality for quite so ti.
Before Xiao ng could press for details, Teacher Huohuan arrived, and although the students each harbored their own thoughts, they now had to concentrate on the class beginning.
Teacher Huohuan touched her red hair and said with a smile, "I heard you all have been having review sessions the past few days, how does it feel?"
Everyone exchanged glances, with no one daring to respond.
Clearing her throat, Teacher Huohuan continued, "Well, I like to do things differently. Since they’ve been doing review sessions, I’ll teach a new skill. Today we’re going to learn a new Fire Attribute Magic skill—Magic Fla lting Gold."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The review sessions, with their tenfold workload, had been unbearable for everyone, but learning a new skill seed less strenuous; they could catch their breath now.
Seeing them all standing still, Teacher Huohuan frowned and scolded, "What are you doing, standing around? Get into the classroom!"
"Oh," everyone responded quickly and started walking towards the magic classroom.
Last class, they went straight into the magic classroom, only to be chased out by Teacher Huohuan; this class, they all stood outside waiting, only to be herded into the classroom in the end.
The process of learning a new skill was similar, with Teacher Huohuan starting with a demonstration, the requirent being to use this particular magic skill to kill one’s own reflection in the mirror.
Teacher Huohuan stood firmly in front of the mirror; her usual nonchalance faded, replaced by a somber deanor.
She raised her palms slowly, crossed them in front of her chest, and ford a strange seal with her fingers. In her palms, a ter-high fireball roared into existence, and what was surprising was that the fireball conjured by Teacher Huohuan was green.
"Netherworld Ghost Fire!" These four words flashed through Qin Sisi’s mind; Teacher Huohuan too possessed the Divine Fire.
After the fireball was successfully ford, Teacher Huohuan pushed her palms forcefully forward, and the green fireball, like a nacing Demonic Beast, roared towards her reflection in the mirror.
The reflection of Teacher Huohuan in the mirror also produced a large green fireball, but that fireball was an illusion, never to reach beyond the mirror.
The real green fireball shattered the illusory one, striking the reflection of Teacher Huohuan heavily. The body in the mirror didn’t disappear imdiately but lted down bit by bit like ice cream under the sun.
The sight was sowhat terrifying, as the body of a person lted away like a liquid, trickling down bit by bit until it completely dissolved into nothingness after a few minutes.
