Chapter 87

"Adult!"

The elf girl and Sami Ji looked at Chu Feiyue in surprise. Chu Feiyue shrugged and explained.

"Originally, I came to investigate this matter. To get to the bottom of it, I indeed need to go to the source of the Jima River. I'll send your team out of the Jima Plain first, and then I'll go to the Jima River tomorrow. Aisa will stay with me for now. Do you have any objections?"

Sami Ji shook his head vigorously.

With that, the matter was settled. After cleaning up the leftover bones from their barbecue, Chu Feiyue used water elements to thoroughly rinse the area to prevent a fire. Then they climbed into the Hunter team's carriage.

The space inside the carriage wasn't very large, and in one corner, there were various tools Aisa used for concocting potions.

"Aisa, what is your alchemy title?"

"I am a Senior Alchemist, and I am currently undergoing the Expert-level examination," Aisa said, her eyebrows drooping in disappointment. "But it seems I won't be able to complete this examination this time." As she spoke, her ears drooped, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Qin Yue subconsciously reached out to pat her head to comfort her. Aisa turned her head and looked at her curiously, asking, "Excuse me, are you a spirit?"

...

"You can see me!" Qin Yue retracted her hand in surprise.

The elf girl, with eyes like a Persian cat, nodded. "Yes, I heard the Great Elder say that the spirit race is a very mysterious one. If they don't want to, no one except elves can see them. Just now, Brother Sha couldn't see you, and you didn't seem to be intentionally invisible, so..."

It turns out that the spirit race has this characteristic, which explains why others usually can't see Qin Yue.

Qin Yue finally found a peer who could see her, and soon the two of them became familiar. Elves are generally good at singing and dancing, and grassland elves are among the best. The two girls, both skilled in music, quickly forgot about Chu Feiyue and started chatting together.

With nothing to do, Chu Feiyue took out the Immortal Dream Paradise Codex from her ring and started reading it.

The cover of this book, which looked like a dictionary, was matte, rough yet smooth to the touch. Chu Feiyue opened the first page, and a line of text appeared.

"Open your heart, and everything will become clear."

What a unique preface. Chu Feiyue turned to the next page, but it was blank.

Hmm? What's going on? Is it broken?

【Drop your blood on it, I need your powerful magic to break the chains that bind me.】 At this moment, a line of elegant cursive text suddenly appeared.

After all, this is an unknown-level book, so it's not surprising that it has some special features. It seems natural for it to have some self-awareness. Chu Feiyue used a wind blade to make a small cut on her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the page.

Even though this was the second time she had seen her own blood since becoming an elemental elf, Chu Feiyue was still curious about the liquid flowing inside her. It was silver, and she wondered why it was silver.

The silver blood droplet touched the paper, and it seemed to splash like it had hit water, creating a ripple. The ripple of light swept over the entire book.

"Hey, Master, this book is just like me," Freya, who had turned back into a pendant, said in Chu Feiyue's mind. "She seems to have consciousness too!"

Well, anyone can see that...

Chu Feiyue watched in amazement as the open book suddenly turned into a small screen, showing the image of a girl about 13 or 14 years old with pale golden hair and sapphire eyes, wearing a pleated white flower headband. She was incredibly beautiful. Apart from her own sister, Chu Feiyue had never seen a more beautiful girl. Perhaps Liu Xing could compare, but it had been so long that she could hardly remember Liu Xing's appearance, only that she was very beautiful.

The girl winked at Chu Feiyue, and a line of black text appeared below.

【Turn the page, new master.】

Chu Feiyue turned the page, and it was still blank. Then more text appeared.

【Hello, new master. I apologize for the long seal, which has made me forget my name, but you can call me Ruo Hua.】

【Although I can see, I cannot read lips, so I cannot hear what the master is saying. If you want to communicate, you need to write what you want to say using something with elemental properties.】

So, Chu Feiyue used gentle and harmless earth elements to write a line of light yellow regular script. After writing, she realized that these Earth-based characters might be a foreign language to the book.

【Hello Ruo Hua, my name is Meng, full name Chu Feiyue. Please guide me.】

Fortunately, the book seemed to have learned this "foreign language" and understood what the line meant.

【No need to be so formal, master. Although the long seal has made my memory a bit confused, I still know a lot. If you have any questions, you can ask me.】 The elegant small black text quickly replaced the words Chu Feiyue had just written.

【Have you been sealed all these years? The City Lord Xini told me you were always awake.】

【Perhaps it's a residual instinct.】 Chu Feiyue found it strange for a book to claim to have instincts. 【Even in a sealed state, I can still display some things, but even I am not sure what they are.】

Well, Xini, you were tricked by a book. Don't worry, I won't tell you...

Next, it was time for the main event. Chu Feiyue took a deep breath and wrote on the page:

【I want to systematically learn magic. Can you teach me?】

The knowledge in her memory was not something she had worked hard to obtain, and the level of that knowledge was too high. Chu Feiyue now needed guidance in basic magic. And if the City Lord Xini was right, the best teacher was already in her hands.

【Of course, I love teaching. But I need the master to place my image on your forehead.】

So, Chu Feiyue flipped back to the page with the girl's image and pressed the book to her face.

She seemed to see the girl's face turn red for a moment, but it was too close to see clearly.

Chu Feiyue didn't see what the girl did just now, but it felt like something had licked her forehead.

"The Immortal Dream Paradise Codex has dramatically recognized you as its master. I must commend your luck." GM chimed in with a comment and a presence check.

Chu Feiyue pulled the book away from her face, and she could see the girl's face was red and very cute. She wiggled her finger, signaling Chu Feiyue to turn the page.

After turning the page, a line of text appeared.

【I just synchronized my thoughts with the master, so now I know what the master needs most.】

【What should I do now?】

【I don't know.】

【?!!】

【There are too many things the master doesn't know, so I don't know where to start. ╮(╯▽╰)╭】

The dictionary girl blinked her big eyes innocently at Chu Feiyue, saying something very hurtful.

【Don't be so direct. Let's start with absorbing magic, which is the most basic.】

Chu Feiyue thought of how Xini almost tore her apart when absorbing elements and shuddered. That feeling of being out of control was terrible.

【This is indeed the most basic. You can read it yourself and circle anything you don't understand.】

Sometimes, a talking dictionary is a good thing because it clearly knows where you are confused. The magic technique "Magic Siphon" that the dictionary refreshed is indeed one of the most basic, mainly relying on talent rather than effort.

No race has a higher magical talent than the elemental elf royal family, so Chu Feiyue almost learned this powerful magic technique at a glance.

Chu Feiyue tried changing the trajectory of her element attraction from a straight line to a curve, and the magic power drawn by the rapidly rotating vortex was indeed several times more than before.

Just like the fire wind cone, a cone that applies the theory of spinning magic is much more powerful than one that doesn't spin.

"Congratulations on mastering the new magic skill: Magic Vortex."

【Magic Vortex: Magic Skill. Form a vortex of magic power to pull in surrounding elements. A brutal and efficient method of absorbing magic power, requiring high talent.】
