Chapter 207 Background, Ability User, Academy
At this point, Bai Junqing's gaze deepened, and a hint of resentment, which he could not hide, inadvertently slipped into his voice.
He gently closed his eyes, his slender fingers unconsciously gripping the corner of the table, as if trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
He slowly began to speak: “My mother is the true fox of Qingqiu. My father is outwardly a fox, but I still do not know his true identity, nor does I know my mother’s.”
He shook his head gently, his dark hair swaying lightly with the movement.
It looked a little messy, which only added to the sense of loneliness.
“My younger sister and I were born into this world as twins, but we never received our mother’s love.” A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"She not only loathed me, but also showed no affection for my younger sister. In the end, she chose to run away with someone else and left us."
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a soft tapping sound.
"In less than a day, my little sister and I were adopted and became the children of the fox clan." He looked up into the distance, his eyes revealing a longing for the past.
"The Fox Emperor witnessed everything. He bestowed upon my younger sister the title of Seventeenth Princess and gave us the treatment we deserved. However, the Fox Emperor did all this only because my mother was his own sister. How could he, as her brother, sit idly by while his own sister did such a thing? He could only announce to the outside world that Princess Linghuang had passed away, and that my sister and I had become the children of our adoptive parents."
His gaze softened, as if he were recalling that time from the past.
"On that day, our adoptive parents lost their child, but they treated us very well, cherishing my sister and me like precious treasures. Ten years later, after our adoptive parents had their own child, everything changed. In the following twenty or thirty years, I went to the Nine Heavens Sect to become a disciple, and it was the God Fusu who accepted me. My younger sister didn't want to become a disciple, so she cultivated alone. Until one time she returned to Qingqiu, she was forced to escape from Qingqiu by that person. It was on that trip that she met Bai Muhuai, who was saved by your father. After that, the two of them got to know each other, fell in love, and became Daoist partners. Later, you were born."
At this point, Bai Junqing paused for a moment, then continued, "In short, I will not let you go to the Bai family alone. We will go together."
Bai Yujin felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to her uncle's words. She could see the determination in his eyes and knew very well that he didn't want her to go alone.
“Alright, let’s go together then. But there’s one thing I need to clarify: after I get the item, I will go to the Misty Forest alone. At that time, I will leave the Tianxuan Continent. Would you like to come with me, Uncle? I suppose the world I’m in has already started cultivating immortality. Why don’t we go together?”
Bai Yujin tentatively asked her uncle, and after she finished speaking, she continued eating her dumplings while waiting for her uncle's reply. She wondered if her uncle would be willing to come along.
Bai Junqing stared at his niece in astonishment. What? Jin'er lives in another world? Or is it the world where cultivation has just begun? Then…
Is that world a bit outdated?
How come you're only starting to cultivate immortality now?
Bai Junqing was a little puzzled.
He asked Bai Yujin softly, "Jin'er, where is the other world? Also, wasn't it said that Xiao Shijiu raised you? You shouldn't be in a strange world. So where did you get your cultivation level? If you only started cultivating in that world, could it be that you don't have any spiritual power?"
Bai Junqing bombarded Bai Yujin with a barrage of questions.
At this moment, Ruan Jingze looked at Bai Yujin with excitement and hurriedly asked her, "Little Jin'er, can you tell me about the world you live in?"
Ruan Jingze was genuinely curious.
What kind of world is it that led to the practice of cultivating immortality?
Bai Yujin finished eating the dumpling in her mouth before explaining slowly, "That world is called Huaguo. Thousands of years ago, the Emperor of Huaguo made a contract with Tianxuan Continent. Therefore, Huaguo only has ordinary people. However, everyone in Huaguo is equal. Regardless of their background or status, everyone has the right to pursue their dreams."
Bai Yujin gently put down her chopsticks, a smile in her eyes, and continued, "As for why China has only recently started cultivating immortality, it's because the national leaders were unaware of this agreement. However, even without cultivators in China, there are people with special abilities. These people are slightly different from cultivators, except that there are fewer people with special abilities. But now, that's not necessarily the case, because I've cooperated with the top leaders of China. I took out a copy of what my father gave me and gave it to the leaders to help China increase its national defense. Perhaps, by this time, China has already opened academies for people with special abilities and for cultivating immortality."
Just as Bai Yujin had imagined, China had already opened academies for people with special abilities and those who cultivate immortality. People with special abilities were recruiting students from outside the country, and the academies for cultivating immortality were under construction. A large portion of the soldiers in the military were cultivators.
Those who cannot become cultivators become ability users, thus enabling ordinary people in China to also become cultivators or ability users.
Bai Yujin was unaware of these matters at the moment.
Ruan Jingze was somewhat surprised. A cultivation academy?
But what exactly is this "ability user"?
He was quite curious.
Bai Junqing was also curious, so he asked Bai Yujin, "Jin'er, what are you talking about as 'ability users'? Is this the same as cultivators?"
Ruan Jingze chimed in, "Yes, I'm quite curious too."
Bai Yujin smiled calmly and explained to them, "Ability users do not rely on spiritual energy. They can manipulate elements, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, poison, mental energy, ice, and lightning. They also have healing spells and the ability to foresee the future. Although these abilities are not as good as those of cultivators, they have unique advantages in certain aspects. For example, mental energy users can read other people's thoughts, those who can foresee the future can avoid danger in advance, and healing spells can play a crucial role in battle."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, the cultivation of ability users does not require long periods of seclusion like that of immortal cultivators. They can enhance their abilities through combat or by obtaining crystal cores from ability user dungeons."
Both Bai Junqing and Ruan Jingze showed surprise upon hearing this.
I've never heard of such a cultivation method before.
They were extremely curious about China.
Ruan Jingze looked surprised.
"Then, what is an ability dungeon? Can you explain it to me?"
Ruan Jingze was a little puzzled and asked her curiously.
Bai Yujin thought for a moment and said, "This is hard to explain. I'll take you to see it when we get back."
They heard Bai Yujin say that she could take them to see it.
Ruan Jingze was deeply moved.
