章 33: Generous Gifts
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Not giving Ye Fei the chance to refuse, the principal personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Come, try this cup of tea."
Ye Fei looked down and saw that the tea was clear green and had a faint fragrance. He knew that this was definitely a good tea.
Thus, he did not refuse and picked up the teacup to take a small sip. Instantly, his lips and teeth were fragrant and he felt refreshed.
"Good tea!"
Ye Fei could not help but exclaim in admiration. Then, he did not care about the etiquette of a tea ceremony anymore. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
When the tea was in his stomach, a rich spiritual energy instantly grew out of his dantian. It followed the eight extraordinary meridians in his body and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.
Ye Fei felt that every pore in his body had become incomparably transparent. His entire body seemed to have become much lighter than before.
His five senses seemed to have become even sharper than before.
Thus, he once again confirmed in his heart that the tea the principal had given him was definitely not an ordinary tea.
"Principal, what kind of tea is this?" Ye Fei could not help but ask.
The principal smiled lovingly and replied, "This is cleansing tea."
Ye Fei secretly sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking to himself that the principal had really put a lot of money into him!
There were quite a number of tea leaves with the name of pure heart tea on the market. All of them claimed that they were authentic. Drinking them could purify one's body and mind, improve one's five senses, and also improve the training ability of the trainer along the way.
Tea leaves with the name of pure heart tea were even more expensive than gold, costing tens of thousands of dollars per gram.
Some well-packaged tea leaves could even be sold for tens of millions of dollars per gram!
However, there was no market for truly effective cleansing tea!
It was not something that could be bought with money at all.
If there were no connections, even if one had a mountain of gold and silver, what one could buy would only be the fake goods on the market.
Therefore, the value of the principal's cup of tea could no longer be measured with money.
Ye Fei stood up and bowed respectfully to the principal, saying, "Thank you for your care, principal."
The principal chuckled and said casually, "It's just a cup of tea, there's no need for that. Sit down, sit down..."
As he spoke, he bent down and opened the small safe under the office desk. He carefully took out a tattered secret manual and carefully placed it on the table.
Ye Fei took a closer look and saw three large characters written on the cover of the secret manual --
"Curse of Blazing Fire".
Under the "Curse of Blazing Fire", there was a notebook that was thicker than it. Judging from the color of the paper, it seemed to be something modern.
Ye Fei guessed that the notebook under the secret manual was most likely made by the principal himself.
Just as he was about to ask a question, the principal flicked his finger and a horse that was covered in flames appeared on the empty space behind Ye Fei.
Ye Fei felt the scorching heat coming from behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he was immediately shocked.
"This is... The Blazing Horse?!"
"Yes!" The principal's tone was filled with unconcealable pride.
Then, the principal demonstrated all of the skills of the blazing horse.
After the demonstration, the principal put away the ancient book and pushed the notebook under the ancient book in front of Ye Fei.
He smiled and said, "The thing I covered for you just now was the fire-type pet skill recorded on it -- Curse of Blazing Fire."
"This notebook was copied by me back then for the convenience of learning. I even added many of my own insights and summaries into it."
"You just took the Little Firebird as your pet. It's the time when you will need the fire-type pet skill the most. I'll give this notebook to you."
"Take it back and study it well. It'll definitely be of great help to you in the future."
Ye Fei couldn't refuse, so he politely took it with both hands and flipped through two pages.
In just two pages, he discovered at least five mistakes.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was full of loopholes.
It wasn't that the principal deliberately set him up, but it was because the amount of knowledge they had was too big of a gap.
The True Phoenix Fire that Ye Fei had just inherited could be said to be the originator of all fire-type pet skills, and it was also the pinnacle of creation.
Compared to the True Phoenix Fire, this Curse of Blazing Fire was really not worth mentioning.
If one had to use an analogy, it was equivalent to a person having received modern education, knowing what the Solar System and Milky Way were, knowing that the universe was vast and endless, and that Earth was just a tiny existence in the vast universe, it was like a grain of sand.
And at this time, another person ran over with joy to share with him the most amazing knowledge he had learned -- the sky was round, the Earth was square, and the world we lived in was the center of everything, the Sun and moon revolved around us.
Was what the other person said wrong?
Of course! It was full of mistakes, ridiculously wrong.
But was he deliberately deceiving people?
No.
He really believed that it was the truth from the bottom of his heart.
And with the mentality of wanting to share selflessly, he shared this "incomparably precious concept" with the person he valued the most.
So, even though he knew that the contents of this notebook were full of mistakes, Ye Fei still took it with both hands and thanked him earnestly.
"Thank you, principal, for your thoughtfulness. I will definitely study it carefully when I go back."
What he thanked was not the notebook itself.
It was the principal's respect for him and this selfless sharing of his thoughts.
The principal did not know what Ye Fei was thinking. It was just that when he saw how much he valued it, he felt that he really did not misjudge the person.
Passing the curse of blazing fire to Ye Fei was really the right decision.
Such a good thing had to be given to someone who knew the value of it.
Just like the small piece of Poplar branch by his window, in the eyes of those who did not know the value of it, it was just a piece of withered wood. However, Ye Fei could see its value at a glance and knew that he could make the withered wood grow branches, just how amazing was it.
The principal believed that Ye Fei would definitely know the value of this blazing fire curse, study it seriously, and use this skill well.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and cultivate," the principal said.
Ye Fei stood up respectfully and took his notes that the principal had personally written.
However, he was not as eager to study the fire curse as the principal had imagined.
What he was eager to learn was the True Phoenix Fire.
Ye Fei brought the Little Firebird to practice and learn as well.
After the practical practice, many details and usage methods that he couldn't understand while reading the book were suddenly enlightened.
His understanding of the True Phoenix Fire rose to a higher level as compared to before.
Naturally, he also discovered more mistakes and omissions in the Curse of Blazing Fire.
"The principal has selflessly shared his most precious treasure with me. I can't just watch him continue to cultivate the secret manual that is riddled with mistakes and ignore it..."
"A quid pro quo. I'll help him correct all the mistakes in this 'Curse of Blazing Fire' as a form of repayment to him."
