I logged into the God panel.

"I survived...I survived."

The three girls stumbled out of the portal to the spirit world and collapsed onto the living room floor.

for a long time.

"Huang Que." Senior Sister Que spoke softly, stood up, and extended her hand to Lu Yu and Li Bohe.

She pulled them both up and they sat down on the sofa together... her legs were still a little weak.

A long time passed again.

"What happened when that wall came down from the sky?" Li Bohe asked softly.

The oriole shook its head, fear still lingering on its face:

"All I could see were swirling colors, and all I could hear were murmured whispers..."

Lu Yu took a breath, glanced at the trembling ghost on Mint's shoulder, and said:

"I feel a lot of warmth, but I don't know if it's just my imagination... Huh?"

She turned her head in horror, pointing at the ghost:

"I can still see!"

The two women were taken aback. Li Bohe carefully examined the ghost holding the scythe. "I can still see it too."

Huang Que calmed down a bit:

"You've activated your spiritual vision. As for the warmth Lu Yu mentioned earlier, I sensed it too... It seems to be spiritual."

She closed her eyes, silently sensing, then exclaimed in surprise:

"It's truly spirituality, a pure and flawless spirituality hidden within the bones and flesh, without the slightest impurity! My mentor said that even a deity couldn't achieve this kind of purification!"

Lu Yu asked cautiously:

"Senior Sparrow, is this... alright?"

"It's more than just good!"

A faint blush rose to the yellow bird's face from excitement, but then it became wary:

"We probably need to keep today's events a secret... at least until we can digest and absorb the pure spirituality."

"Why?" Li Bohe asked, puzzled.

Huang Que took a deep breath. "You don't understand what a completely pure spirituality means. If this news gets out, many people will probably come looking for us and hunting us."

"Open our chests, dig out our brains, and refine out that pure and flawless spirituality..."

Both women fell silent.

The oriole sighed and emphasized:

"This is no joke!"

After pausing for a moment, she continued, her eyes bright:

"But this is also my and our opportunity."

All three girls remained silent.

Li Bohe suddenly spoke:

"Lu Yu, Lu Yu, if you become really powerful... what's the first thing you'll do?"

Lu Yu thought for a moment:

"Let's move to a bigger house!"

"Let's arrange retirement for Mom and Dad!"

She suddenly became bold and waved her hand again:

"And while I'm at it, help my brother become a superhuman too!"

Huang Que smiled and said, "There's a chance...and the chance isn't small."

The three chatted for a while longer, and Li Bohe and Lu Yu asked Huang Que for some extraordinary knowledge.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yu skipped away and left the villa.

They are still young and have few worries. Even if they encounter something frightening, they won't dwell on it for too long.

"Mint, I'll be going now too." Huang Que said goodbye with a smile. Li Mint hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Que, I heard you're short a lot of materials right now. I can get some money from the trust fund..."

The yellow sparrow's face lit up with joy:

"Consider it a loan from me."

After a long while, she left Li Bohe's detached villa, took a deep breath, and clenched her fist tightly.

Pure spirituality, plus enough money.

Perhaps, with more preparation and reflection, I can try to break through to the second level!

only.....

"There are still two perfect and pure spiritual essences..." Huang Que glanced in the direction Lu Yu left, and then looked at the villa.

A look of confusion and hesitation appeared on her face.

…………

"I'm back!"

As Lu Yu opened the door, her voice was louder than ever before. She walked into the house with a smug look on her face and saw her parents and Lu Daosheng sprawled on the sofa, watching TV.

"You still know how to come back?" Zhao Baiqin said reproachfully.

"Mom~"

Lu Yu jumped onto the sofa and shoved her younger brother away with her foot:

"I was just at Mint's house..."

After hesitating for a moment, she added:

"I also met a senior from White Elephant Academy."

As she spoke, she shoved her younger brother aside with her foot, and Lu Daosheng angrily said, "You're going to fall!"

Lu Yu smiled:

"Hey, you're so thin, why are you sitting on such a big piece of land!"

Lu Tianyang and Zhao Baiqin watched the siblings playfully bickering and shook their heads with amusement. The former said:

"Xiaoyu, do you really want to go to White Elephant Academy?"

"think!"

Lu Yu's expression turned serious. He pressed one hand down on his underling's head to subdue him, then said softly:

"Dad, I want to see...extraordinary scenery."

The couple looked at each other again.

"Oh, right." Lu Daosheng slapped away Lu Yu's hand that was pressing his forehead and interjected, "Our homeroom teacher said that there are three special admission spots for the Ether Academy in the school, and he recommended me."

"Ether Academy?" the three exclaimed in unison.

Lu Tianyang and Zhao Baiqin both frowned slightly, though the movement was very subtle, but Lu Daosheng still noticed it keenly.

Lu Yu's face showed surprise, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

If it weren't for that towering giant appearing today...

The terrifying sense of oppression brought by that Dean of Ether remains vivid in my memory to this day.

I almost died.

"The Ether Academy is not a good place," Lu Tianyang said with a frown. "The Ether Academy belongs to the Church of the Universe, and that church is in a very bad situation."

Zhao Baiqin glanced at her husband.

Lu Daosheng nodded quietly:

"Okay, shall we still go on the picnic?"

He had never intended to attend the Aether Academy, and the Knight Commander and the High Priest had also instructed him and Li Qiuhua to keep it a secret and not reveal that they had joined the Church of the Universe.

Furthermore, the Church of the Light of the Universe is indeed in a very bad situation...

Entering White Elephant Academy is indeed a good choice, as it is equivalent to gaining access to the resources of two churches at the same time.

Even if it's very interesting, don't go see it.

Lu Tianyang sighed:

"Actually, Dad doesn't want you two siblings to get involved with the supernatural. The supernatural may seem infinitely bright, but it's actually very dangerous, extremely dangerous."

Zhao Baiqin glanced at her husband again.

"dad!!"

Lu Yu clung to her father's arm and acted coquettishly.

Lu Tianyang had a headache. He rubbed his temples and was about to say something when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He answered the phone.

"It's me, Lu Tianyang... Okay, okay, no problem, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianyang put on his coat and said apologetically:

"There's a sudden assignment at the police station, I have to go there... Don't wait for me, I might be back very late."

As he spoke, he kissed his wife's forehead.

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Lu Tianyang left in a hurry.

After he left, Lu Yu was about to hug his mother's arm and act cute when...

"Beep beep beep!"

Zhao Baiqin's phone rang.

"Feed? It's me... I understand, come here now."

She put down the phone and patted the heads of the siblings:

"There's been some new progress in the school's research, and Mom wants to go check it out. You two stay home tonight, okay?"

"I'll stare at Lu Yu," Lu Daosheng volunteered, which made Lu Yu glare at him angrily.

Zhao Baiqin smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll order you two some late-night snacks... How about milk tea?"

"Long live Mom!" Lu Yu jumped up.

Zhao Baiqin also left in a hurry.

The house fell silent, leaving only the siblings staring at each other blankly.

"The remote control is mine today."

Lu Yu snatched the TV remote control away.

Lu Daosheng was speechless:

"Who cares to look? I'm going back to my room to study."

Lu Yu curled her lip:

"What else is there to learn? Lu Daosheng, let me tell you, your sister is about to make it big..."

Her eyes were sparkling, and I wondered what she was thinking.

Lu Daosheng rolled his eyes and walked back to his room.

"Remember to let me know when your takeout arrives."

He closed the door, walked to the desk, drew back the curtains, and gazed silently down below.

Although it was dark, with the help of my spirit, I could see everything clearly.

My dad drove out of the main gate of the residential area and headed north.

The police station is not in the north.

My mom went through the side gate of the residential area, hailed a car, and headed north along another road.

My mother's university, Tunghai University, is also not in the north.

"My parents have secrets... It's good that they have secrets, everyone has secrets."

Lu Daosheng muttered to himself, then heard Lu Yu laughing foolishly from the living room, probably watching a variety show.

"Yeah, except for Lu Yu," he added quietly, watching a shooting star streak across the northern night sky.

…………

The next day.

My parents didn't come home all night.

At the breakfast shop near the school gate, Lu Daosheng ate steamed buns, drank soy milk, and listened to the radio that the owner had placed next to him.

"In the morning news, a violent explosion occurred at 3 a.m. last night in the northern suburbs. The fire department stated that this was a safety incident caused by human negligence, and fortunately, there were no casualties."

"Here, we would like to remind all citizens that safety is of utmost importance..."

He listened silently, sipping his soy milk.

"Lu Daosheng! Lu Daosheng!"

Looking up, I saw Li Qiuhua running towards me like the wind.

She plopped down next to Lu Daosheng and said in a crisp voice:

"Boss, boss, I'd also like a bowl of soy milk and half a basket of steamed buns!"

As he spoke,

The little girl leaned closer again, her voice very low:

"Lu Daosheng, I ran into the old priest on the way! Guess what he said to me?"

The girl's breath tickled Lu Daosheng's earlobe.

He frowned slightly:

"What did you say?"

Li Qiuhua whispered:

"They said they'd have some 'old friend' take us to a college affiliated with another church, something like... White Elephant College."

She lowered her voice even further:

"The priest said things like 'the darkest place is under the lamp,' and 'the most dangerous place is the safest'... He even said we were going to be little spies!"

Lu Daosheng nodded thoughtfully:

"That's all you said?"

"Oh, and they also said we shouldn't go north recently, because something very powerful has appeared there, called a sealed artifact, and a lot of people are fighting over it."

Lu Daosheng narrowed his eyes.

Sealed artifacts... signify new abilities.

He drank the soy milk in one gulp.
