Chapter 986: Chapter 986: The Magical Mini Doll
Master Yipiao noticed the confusion in Qing Pu and Li Li’s eyes and took the initiative to explain: "This Immortal Ganoderma Soul Recall Pill is at the third level, which can raise one’s grade within the third level. However, you are both now high-level magic teachers, and the next grade is a Level Four Magic Star. If you want to level up, a third-level Immortal Ganoderma Soul Recall Pill will not suffice."
The words of Master Yipiao left Li Li and Qing Pu somewhat disappointed. They had originally thought they could rely on the Immortal Ganoderma Soul Recall Pill to advance a grade and directly become low-level Magic Stars!
Master Yipiao smiled faintly and continued: "Do not worry in haste. You should feel that your Magic Source has already become much stronger. Both of you performed very well in the assessments. As long as you continue to work hard, advancing in level within half a year is very promising."
This statement reignited Li Li and Qing Pu’s spirits. Half a year was not a long time for them, and they could accept it. If not for the Immortal Ganoderma Soul Recall Pill, they would have needed at least one more year of practice.
Although it is only a difference of one level, under normal circumstances, Magic Stars are after all much more formidable than magic teachers.
The results have been announced, rewards distributed, the necessary medicinal pills taken, and the necessary words said. The end-of-term assessment officially concluded.
In the end, Master Yipiao announced that this term had ended. Tomorrow, the teachers would distribute the family notification letters to the students, and then they would be able to leave Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and return home. The holiday period is one month, and school officially resumes on the sixteenth of February.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Qin Sisi was about to leave when Teacher Wuduo stopped her with a solemn expression and said: "Qin Sisi, do you remember what you promised me?"
Qin Sisi was startled by Teacher Wuduo’s serious demeanor but quickly understood and promptly replied out loud: "I remember, I promised Teacher Wuduo that I would become a First-level Forgemaster by the end of the term."
Teacher Wuduo nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I have already arranged for you. Rest tomorrow, and the day after, I will take you to the Forgemaster Guild in Scholar City to take the exam."
Qin Sisi also nodded: "Okay, thank you, Teacher Wuduo."
Teacher Wuduo laughed heartily: "What’s there to thank, you need to put on a good performance. Passing smoothly will be the greatest thanks to me."
After exchanging pleasantries, the teacher and student bid each other farewell, both filled with anticipation and confidence for the day after tomorrow’s exam.
After the crowd scattered, Master Yipiao looked around. Tianyi Mountain was the highest peak of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, and he was the highest leader of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle. Yet, there were still many things in this world beyond his control or resolution.
Ge Lanxue’s mood was very low. After everyone else had left, she slowly turned around, preparing to return to her own mountain.
"Ge Lanxue," called Master Yipiao in a deep voice from behind her.
Ge Lanxue slowly turned around, her expression very lost.
Master Yipiao knew his words were cruel, but considering Ge Lanxue had been teaching at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for many years and her character and ability were both beyond reproach, he felt it was necessary to offer a word of caution.
"Ge Lanxue, the Qing Ming Family... start making early preparations." He still only said half of it, knowing Ge Lanxue would understand.
The state of Ya Ling embodied the state of the Qing Ming Family—pampered and arrogant, self-righteous, conceited, and covetous of the Holy Queen’s position.
Such a Qing Ming Family would definitely not earn Ye You’s appreciation.
Thinking positively, Ye You would consider the Qing Ming Family as her mother’s maternal family and would not strike down hard on them, but a cold treatment was definite. Over time, the Qing Ming Family could not escape a fate of dwindling power.
Thinking the worst, the Qing Ming Family’s covetous gaze upon the Queen’s position greatly infuriated Ye You, determining in his heart, the entire Qing Ming Family could suffer a calamitous fate.
As a member of the Qing Ming Family, even if Ge Lanxue is protected under the fortress of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, sparred from losing her life, she would inevitably be implicated by her family.
That is why Master Yipiao reminded her to start planning early. As to what kind of plans to make, that was up to Ge Lanxue herself.
Ge Lanxue left with a lost soul, and after Yu Sha tidied up the practice materials, she approached Master Yipiao and sighed, "The situation of the Phantom Spirit family, how could it be any better?"
The expression on Master Yipiao’s face gradually became somber, like an increasingly ominous sky, chaotic landscapes, and a storm brewing—the Demon Sacred Realm was about to undergo a new round of reshuffles.
However, to the victor belong the spoils, and the survival of the fittest is inevitable. Neither he nor Ye You could stop it; they could only accept it.
At night, Qin Sisi sent Xiao Meng away, took out the special prize given by Master Yipiao—the mini-doll, cut her finger, and dropped a bead of blood onto the mini-doll.
The mini-doll emitted a dazzling light; in front of Qin Sisi, a line of script appeared out of thin air, the writing stayed for a minute before vanishing.
For the concentrated Qin Sisi, one minute was enough time for her to understand the use of this mini-doll.
By now, the light on the mini-doll had dissipated, and Qin Sisi was surprised to find that the doll’s facial features had changed a bit and seemed to resemble her own.
She held the mini-doll in the palm of her hand, her face beaming with joy.
The following morning, Qin Sisi practiced forging for several hours, and in the afternoon, she took a good rest to conserve her energy.
During that time, Teacher Yusha sent her servants to deliver a family notification. Taking the notification that resembled a sheet of plastic, Qin Sisi recalled the school notifications that had terrified all students in her youth.
Some students with bad test scores and a habit of mischievous pranks, to avoid being scolded or beaten, would secretly alter the scores on the notification. However, it was said that hardly anyone succeeded, and the outcome was an even more severe scolding and beating.
Those little clever tricks, seemingly ingenious to those students, were riddled with holes and crumbled instantly before their parents.
Thinking back on the amusing incidents of her childhood, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, subconsciously rubbing her finger where the score was written, and then she realized that this family notification was much more sophisticated than the parent notifications from her school days.
The script on it must have been made with magic, impossible to rub off or alter, absolutely authentic and effective.
She placed the family notification into her storage ring, sighing to herself. Here, she had no relatives nor a family; the family notification held no meaning for her.
On the day of the Forging Master exam, Qin Sisi got up early, got herself ready, and seeing that Xiao Meng was still not up, went to the canteen by herself for breakfast.
To her surprise, Grandma Mad, whom she had not seen for a long time, was actually waiting for her in the cafeteria.
Seeing her come in, Grandma Mad’s wrinkled face revealed a trace of a smile, and with her bony hands, she lifted the lid from the utensils, unveiling a hearty breakfast in front of Qin Sisi.
