Mortal Seeking Immortal

Because the Xianle Sect withdrew the disciples who were mining the spirit stone mines here, and Lingshi City is located in a relatively remote area and is not a must-pass place leading to various large cities, and there are few spiritual plants and herbs in the surrounding mountains and forests, there are few cultivators coming and going here, and even fewer cultivators staying here.

There is only one inn in the city, which sells wine, food and other food to make a living.

Since half a month ago, the inn's business has been getting better day by day, and all the guests staying in the inn are generous.

It is said that the brother had mocked the elder before he passed away, and that was why the elder was still concerned about the matter until his death. He left behind a book of low-level skills, asking his descendants not to forget to practice them so that they could avenge him in the future.

It's a pity that more than a hundred years have passed, and the shop owner is the only descendant in the family who has the spiritual roots to practice. Relying on that low-level martial arts book, he worked diligently for thirty years and barely cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining.

However, with such a low level of cultivation, he usually doesn't even dare to go to the nearby barren mountains for fear of encountering monsters that come out to hunt, let alone bring honor to his elder. He can only continue to place his hopes on the next generation.

To cultivate immortality one must first learn to read. Only by learning to read can one understand various techniques.

There are dozens of private schools of all sizes in Lingshi City. When children in the city reach a certain age, their parents will send them to private schools.

When they are seven or eight years old, they will be sent to the City Lord's Mansion to test their spiritual roots. If they have good spiritual roots, they will either be kept in the mansion by the City Lord to be taught personally, or be sent to a nearby small sect to practice.

If it is detected that the child has spiritual roots but they are of poor quality, he or she will be taken back home by his or her parents, or use connections to become a disciple of low-level cultivators in the city, or if the family has ancestral skills, he or she can practice with the elders in the family.

The shop owner's son will be six years old next year. In another year or two, he can be sent to the City Lord's Mansion to test his spiritual roots. The most important thing now is to go to a private school and learn to read. That's why he was so angry when he saw his son coming back when he was supposed to be in class. Without listening to his son's explanation, he scolded him first.

When his anger subsided a little, the aggrieved child whispered, "I didn't skip school. The private school is closed today."

"Have a holiday?"

The shop owner looked suspicious, wondering how could this be a holiday when it wasn't a festival.

"It's not just our private school. The teacher said that all the private schools in the city are closed during this period."

"It is said that the city lord was afraid that we would offend the senior cultivators who came to Lingshi City, so he specially ordered the private school to suspend classes. The teacher assigned us homework and asked us to do it at home during these days and go out less."

When the shop owner heard this, the suspicion on his face disappeared. He glanced at the lobby filled with many unfamiliar faces, touched his son's head and said, "Since the teacher has assigned you homework, then you should go and do it. Don't come to the shop for the time being. I will ask your mother to bring the food home for you."
