Chapter 23: The Reality of Experiencing Illusion

Chapter 23: The Reality of Experiencing Illusion
The next day, Zhang Xiu asked for leave.

Zhang Yunlu followed what Xu Xing said and went to school early, ready to report his realm and inquire about foundation-building issues.

Whenever she saw someone along the way, she would subconsciously look at their vital parts.

"..."

This is a sequelae, and I'm afraid it will last for a long time.

After entering the school, she went directly to see the dean.

Originally, I should have told my class teacher about this matter, but Fang Chi... decided to forget it.

Office of the Dean of Students.

"The ninth level of Qi training. The foundation is solid, quite good." A bright thread of magic power was drawn out from Zhang Yunlu's wrist.

The principal of Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School is called Yu Ming, an old man who looks a bit stern and old-fashioned. He has gray hair and age spots on his face, and looks very old.

But after getting to know him, you will find that he is actually a very gentle elder.

It is said that he liked to explore various secret places in his early years. It was because of this that his foundation was damaged in an accident and he lost the possibility of further progress. He eventually came to this school to become the dean of studies.

"Now that you have reached this level, it is time to explain some things about foundation building to you." Yu Ming handed her a glass of water. "The information on the spiritual network is mixed. The third-level foundation building described above has some merits, but it is incomplete."

Yu Ming knew very well why Zhang Yunlu came to him today. According to the rules, she should have asked her class teacher about the foundation building matters.

"There are three mainstream ways of building foundations nowadays, namely pseudo-foundation building, external object foundation building, and natural foundation building."

In Yu Ming's opinion, the conflicts between teachers and students and some insignificant rules are far less important than a student's future.

He carefully explained the three foundation-building methods he knew.

Pseudo foundation building, which is similar to what Zhang Yunlu understood at the beginning.

Building a foundation with external objects is equivalent to the second and third types of foundation building that she originally knew, plus the first type of foundation building that she heard from Xu Xing.

Tiancheng Daoji is exactly the same as what Xu Xing said.

But is there another one?

"It is extremely difficult to build a Tiancheng Dao foundation. Not only does it require an extremely strong foundation, but the process of collecting sun essence, condensing moon essence, and refining starlight is also extremely painful." Yu Ming chuckled, "Your foundation is sufficient, it depends on whether you can survive these three levels."

"I think my willpower is pretty good." I died more than a hundred times in one night, "But the rare treasures in the world should be very rare, right?"

Xu Xing said he would give her one, but Zhang Yunlu still wanted to ask.

"Rare treasures from heaven and earth are indeed hard to come by, but as early as seventy-three years ago, someone developed a replacement. I personally recommend the 'One-time Foundation-Building Rare Treasure Divine Essence' of the [Pure Moon Flying Sword]."

A rare and precious divine essence for building a foundation at one time? !
“The price is not too expensive and the efficacy is comparable to other brands.”

For example, the products sold by [Xuan Yue Pavilion] are more expensive, but the effects are obviously the same, so they are a group of unscrupulous businessmen.

Yu Ming opened the drawer, took out a crystal card from a small box and handed it to Zhang Yunlu.

"This is the 'Basic Mining and Refining Method' created by Saint Emperor Yuan. You should study it carefully after you return."

"Teacher, this is too..."

"Don't refuse. I'm not being special. Every student who has reached the ninth level of Qi training has it. Otherwise, how can it be called "Basic Qi Refining Method"? "

The various mining and refining methods of the major immortal sects are also available in their schools, but they are all too extreme and violent. This "Basic Mining and Refining Method" is relatively peaceful.

Even so, the school only dared to give it to students who had reached the ninth level of Qi training during their senior year of high school.

Oh I got it.

Zhang Yunlu took the crystal card and put it into the storage ring.

"Student Zhang, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Have you ever heard of... the foundation of creation?"

"..." Yu Ming was silent for a while, "Yes, but that is not mainstream and it is too difficult."

"The current pseudo foundation building is a new foundation building method created by Lingyinfang after studying the foundation of creation."

Although there are few natural Dao foundations, there are always a few to be seen in every college entrance examination. However, the creation Dao foundation last appeared fifteen years ago.

knock knock!

"Director, this is for the battle test tomorrow..." Zhang Yunlu turned around and found that the person coming was her teacher Fang Chi. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

…………

At noon, senior high school students came out of the school one after another.

Because there will be a magic battle test tomorrow, the school gave them the whole afternoon off to prepare.

Zhang Yunlu was also among them, but after leaving school she did not go home. Instead, she took a taxi to the villa community where Xu Xing lived.

During class today, many classmates who she rarely talked to came to persuade her to apologize to Fang Chi, saying that there were no conflicts between teachers and students that could not be resolved.

However, Zhang Yunlu ignored it, she just thought it was noisy.

We're almost graduated, and you want me to ease the relationship between teachers and students?

Seeing how ungrateful she was, those people directly said that they would have a duel test tomorrow to see the real result.

Although they are students, they are also practitioners.

A battle test...How many of my classmates are more powerful than the fearless monster in my dream?
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a little excited.

If I can hone my swordsmanship against a strong enough opponent in this combat test, then next time I face that monster, maybe I won’t suffer as badly as I did last night!

The driver couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw Zhang Yunlu, who was sometimes silent and sometimes smiling, in the rearview mirror.

'The pressure on senior high school students is huge.'

He simply stopped talking and turned up the volume of the music a little.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination.

"My friend, you can't drive in here, so you can only walk in on your own."

After paying the money, Zhang Yunlu walked into the community and came to Xu Xing's villa.

He used the formation center to open the formation, walked a few steps to the door, and was about to ring the doorbell.

"Just come in, the door is not closed."

Sure enough, the door opened with just a slight push, and everything inside was still exactly the same as when I came yesterday.

She eventually saw Xu Xing in the garden.

At this time, Xu Xing was leaning on a rattan lounge chair. There was a pot of tea on the table beside him. The sunlight was shining, and he looked very relaxed.

"Please take a seat. Your performance last night was indeed good. I think you will have no problem coping with the battle test tomorrow."

"Emm... About last night, I actually have a question to ask." After a pause, Zhang Yunlu continued, "Is everything I experienced true or false?"

Xu Xing did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

"It must be fake, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to revive so many times and still be in my own room after waking up."

How can one person have so many lives?

"Since you understand this, why are you asking this question now?"

"But my spiritual power has indeed increased, just like the pills I took during the trial really worked."

Zhang Yunlu frowned. This was what made her confused.

"Illusion or reality."

Xu Xing tapped lightly and a drop of tea floated up, then quickly expanded, and turned into a round and plump pill under her gaze.

"When the truth becomes false, the false becomes true; this is refining the false into the true."

As Xu Xing finished speaking, the pill turned into a drop of tea and fell back into the teacup.

"If I were to explain, everything that happened last night was equivalent to you experiencing the truth in a falsehood. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yunlu nodded, not quite understanding.

Xu Xing didn't care much about it. After all, these were still very far away from her.

 Please collect and read! ! !
