Chapter 94 The Poison of Eternal Life

Su Haoming: “……?”

Lin Yu: "..."

Looking at Su Haoming who was confused, Fu Lamei quickly reacted and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Lin Yu, who was standing next to him, twitched his lips and said with a frown, "New teacher! Not a spirit ape! But a real human!"

Volame blinked, hiding her embarrassment with a smile, and said, "I haven't used Chinese in a long time, so it's a bit unfamiliar..."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Haoming and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Su!"

"It's ok!"

Su Haoming came back to his senses and laughed dryly, "I just arrived today too, so it's normal to have misunderstandings!"

While Volame was trying to smooth things over with a smile, he looked at the young man in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The reason why she mistook Su Haoming for a spirit ape was naturally not just because of Wall's words.

In her perception, there was not a single fluctuation of magic in this guy's body, and unlike her and Fulilian, who were in a state of magic suppression, she felt more coordinated.

It was as if something had neutralized the magic in him...

This unique state made Su Haoming's temperament extremely pure and ethereal, with a kind of gentle, calm and elegant feeling, which was consistent with Wall's previous description of "you will understand it when you see it".

"Is this the immortal cultivator who has had his spiritual roots implanted?"

Fu Lamei thought so in her heart, but she couldn't help but glance at Lin Yu.

She was very curious about this guy's background and why he chose this path earlier than Damon's brothers and sisters.

Lin Yu knew what she was curious about, but he didn't explain. He just smiled and took the three of them into the Xiuxian Academy and began to visit various areas in the academy.

"...So far, only one-fifth of the academy's area has been opened, which is where these children attend the Qi-nourishing preschool class."

"When they reach the Qi Cultivation stage and can cast a basic spell, they will be able to enter elementary school and receive three years of compulsory Qi Cultivation education. According to my estimation, after three years, most children will be able to advance to the third level of Qi Cultivation. By then..."

"Wait, after three years it will be the third level of Qi cultivation?"

Su Haoming's eyes widened, and he quickly used his magical power to transmit a message, "Brother Lin, am I really qualified to be their teacher?"

"Why not?" Lin Yu glanced at him and whispered, "You should have confidence in yourself. You've both reached the third level of Qi Nourishing, but you've only been practicing for less than two months. Your speed is much faster than theirs!"

"Of course I am confident about this."

Su Haoming smiled bitterly and said, "But the prerequisite is that the flow of time must be synchronized!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely manage the time well. Otherwise, how can I invite you to be my teacher?"

Su Haoming twitched his lips and said, "Still doing it?"

Lin Yu said as a matter of course: "Of course, I have divided them all. After the elementary school stage, these little guys will enter different colleges according to their spiritual root attributes. As for you, don't even think about escaping!"

"At least you have to let me serve as the branch director for a few years!"

Su Haoming: “…”

Fortunately, he has a mutant spiritual root, which is rare, so he probably won’t have many students.

In comparison, Fan Xian and Yun Ye are the ones who are most unlucky. They both have dual spiritual roots and are proficient in the basic five elements. They may have to serve as deans of two academies at the same time!
When Su Haoming thought that there were people who were more unlucky than himself, his mood immediately became cheerful.

While the two of them were secretly communicating, Lin Yu was also introducing the academy to Master and Apprentice Volame as usual.

"See that door? Behind it is the elementary school square. The huge stone in the center is the sorting stone. It can be used to divide students into different schools based on their spiritual roots..."

While introducing the place, Lin Yu took the three of them around the entire primary school area.

Soon, the students' breakfast time ended and the school bell rang.

Lin Yu glanced in the direction of the preschool classroom and said with a smile:

"It's just right. Teacher Lingyuan is about to start class. Are you guys interested?"

"Of course I'm interested!"

Su Haoming nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was willing to learn his colleague's teaching methods first.

Volame and Fulilian looked at each other and both showed interested expressions.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Lin Yu immediately waved his hand and led them out of the classroom.

Everyone looked towards the window curiously, and saw a blue magic projection shaped like a human body floating in the center of the classroom. Surrounding it were more than 30 children meditating with their eyes closed. Each of them sat cross-legged on a cushion, trying to circulate the Qi in their bodies.

Among these children, a tall, golden-haired monkey wearing a white robe was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking solemn. He would stop from time to time to correct the posture of the children who were sitting cross-legged.

Seeing this scene, Su Haoming's face was full of strangeness, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"How did you mistake me for it?"

"..."

Fu La Mei smiled awkwardly and whispered in the same voice: "This is also the first time I have met this Spirit Ape Teacher."

But now, she finally understood what Walter meant. This spirit ape's aura was truly unique. Even at first sight, she could tell it was a creature completely different from demons and monsters...

If you have to say it, he is more like Su Haoming who is beside her.

"So, you also implanted spiritual roots into it?"

Fu La Mei whispered to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

Volame continued to ask: "Is its original form a monster?"

"..."

Lin Yu glanced at her, thought for a moment, and whispered, "What if it is?"

Volame said in a complicated tone: "That means your experiment was successful..."

Lin Yu smiled slightly: "Thanks to you, my experimental progress has indeed increased significantly in the past few years. Even for life forms like monsters whose radiation levels are so high that they have crystallized, there is a full 60% implant success rate."

"Sixty percent?"

Volame sighed and said, "I haven't lived long enough!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "That's for the demons. For a magician like you, the failure rate will never exceed 3%... So, do you want to switch to cultivation?"

"..."

Hearing this, Volame fell silent.

After a moment, she turned to look at Fulilian beside her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Yu understood what she meant and immediately waved his hand, setting up a soundproof barrier around the two of them.

Noticing the formation of the barrier, Volame turned around and said in a gloomy tone, "Magicians... really can't live forever?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "At the moment, it's really impossible—unless you are willing to study necromancy."

Necromancer?
Volame shook his head and said, "I would rather die than become a walking skeleton."

Lin Yu said calmly, "That's just the lowest level of undead. You've also read my 'Golden Elixir' and you should understand that a magician can completely entrust their soul to an external object, thereby transforming into an immortal lich."

Volame shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see..."

Lin Yu sighed and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Volame was silent for a moment, then said softly, "As you know, my teacher is an elf, and my apprentice is also an elf. No one knows more about immortals like them than I do."

"So I know very well that in this world, all immortal species have their own way of dealing with immortality."

"For elves, this approach represents apathy and a dull sense of time. For demons, this approach represents the rejection of emotion and a fanatical pursuit of magic..."

Having said that, Volame raised his head, looked at Lin Yu and said slowly: "As for the immortals you created, for them, that kind of extremely devout and fanatical belief is the absolute pillar that supports them through their long lives!"

"I believe that as long as you are with them, no matter how long life is, they will never be lost."

"and I?"

"I'm just an ordinary human. I don't have the elves' indifferent sense of time, nor the demons' extreme emotions, nor the immortals' fanatical beliefs."

"Am I... truly worthy enough to drink this cup of eternal life?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall silent.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "What about me?"

"I don't deny my power and identity, but in terms of mentality, I am indeed a human being, right?"

Hearing this, Volame couldn't help but laugh, as if he had heard something funny.

Lin Yu's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Just say it if you have something to say!"

Volame hurriedly restrained his smile, but he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.

Until Lin Yu's face became increasingly unfriendly, she finally managed to suppress the corner of her mouth, looked at Lin Yu and said with emotion: "Fifteen years!"

"It has been fifteen years since we first met. Do you feel any different from how you were fifteen years ago?"

Lin Yu frowned, vaguely understanding what Volame meant.

"People change..."

Volame whispered, "If there's one thing we all have in common, it's change itself!"

"And you, fifteen years have left no mark on your heart. You seem eternally young, forever retaining the mentality that defined you as 'human' fifteen years ago."

“Maybe you haven’t even noticed it yet!”

Fu La Mei looked at Lin Yu steadily, and said in a deep voice: "Compared to the so-called immortal species such as the immortals, demons, and elves, you are the one who is most suitable for immortality!"
