Teaching Curriculum at Purple Jade Mountain
The Three Clans fought fiercely across the Primordial Land, and many creatures chose to retreat into seclusion and live a carefree life, such as Wu Chu and his group, as well as Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.
However, Zhen Yuanzi, who was a guest at the Fire Cloud Palace, was not as carefree as Hong Yun. He would often sigh, "The ley lines in XX place have been destroyed again," "I don't know how long it will take to repair this time," "Sigh! This is really too hard for me..."
When Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he thought of Wu Chu, because Wu Chu often said this, and without realizing it, he had also learned it.
If it weren't for the chaos outside, Zhen Yuanzi would have liked to go to Purple Jade Mountain for a while. Although Butterfly Lady could provide them with delicious food and spirit wine here, it was still inferior to Purple Jade Mountain. Moreover, when he mentioned these things to Hong Yun didn't even offer him any comfort.
He then recalled another remark Wu Chu had made, "Sigh! There's no love left!"
After venting his frustrations, Zhen Yuanzi once again entered a state of 'Contemplating the Dao'.
Meanwhile, Taiyi Di Jun, who were originally wandering in the Primordial World, as well as Changxi and the others, have now returned to their respective Sun Star and Lunar Star.
Faced with the two Little Flower Fairies Taiyi back, Di Jun shook his head and sighed, secretly transmitting his voice to Taiyi: "Brother! You should try to recruit more... no, bring back more Little Flower Fairies! Like those who are good at singing, dancing, and playing instruments..."
Taiyi coughed lightly and sighed, "Brother, you're being a bit greedy. I've already used every trick in the book to bring them back. You have no idea how dark Brother A Chu's face was back then; he was almost ready to turn against me. Do you know how hard it was for me!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun felt a little ashamed. Back then, if he hadn't been thinking of going to have some alone time with Changxi and leaving Taiyi on Purple Jade Mountain... well, it was Taiyi's own request to stay on Purple Jade Mountain, it had nothing to do with him!
Di Jun wondered if he and Changxi had stayed behind back then, could they have brought back Little Flower Fairies from Purple Jade Mountain? Compared to the song and dance performances of Purple Jade Mountain, the song and dance performances of his Flame Sprites, in Wu Chu's words, were simply soulless!
After settling the two Little Flower Fairies in and having them lead the Flame Sprites to learn brewing and food preparation, the two brothers also entered a state of 'Contemplating the Dao'.
At the summit of Purple Jade Mountain, Summit of the Sacred Tree, Little Fox is teaching Little Yellow Dragon math.
Throughout Purple Jade Mountain, the Little Fox was the one who learned elementary math from Wu Chu the best and fastest. So the Little Fox became the math teacher of Purple Jade Mountain.
Her students were the newly enrolled Little Flower Fairies.
Now, there's another Little Yellow Dragon.
"Teacher Yu, why do we need to learn numbers? What's the use of them?"
Little Yellow Dragon looked at the mathematical characters with a puzzled expression.
Little Bai Ze, who was squatting on the Tree Platform with a cup of milk tea in his hand, squinting and enjoying it, took a sip of milk tea, exhaled a breath, and answered for the Little Fox: "Your master gave you 10,000 Fish-Bean Popped Bean Flower, and I borrowed 3,655 from you, paying 3 Fish-Bean Popped Bean Flower should I return to you after a month?"
Fish-Bean Popped Bean Flower is actually just popcorn made from beans. This is something Wu Chu taught Little Moon Spirit to make. Little Moon Spirit also made five-colored popcorn and five-colored sachima.
"..."
The Little Yellow Dragon, his head full of question marks, blinked his big eyes, pursed his lips, silently lowered his head, and quietly stuffed an Exploding Bean Curd into his mouth, wrestling with the mathematical characters that made him a little dizzy—he absolutely couldn't let this little beast steal his Exploding Bean Curd!
I studied math for over ten hours every morning, followed by over ten hours of Chinese language lessons. The only textbook I used was "Records of Mountains and Seas" written by Wu Chu.
In the afternoon, we learned tea ceremony, and the instructors were all Little Fox.
While learning 'Chinese' from the Little Fox, Little Yellow Dragon didn't ask many questions, because the book "Records of Mountains and Seas" was written entirely in pictographic characters, and the stories inside seemed to open a door to a new world for Little Yellow Dragon.
Therefore, without the Little Fox's prompting, the Little Yellow Dragon began to learn on his own.
However, while learning the tea ceremony, Little Yellow Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Yu, tea is so bitter, and I don't like drinking it, so why do I need to learn this tea ceremony?"
Little Moon Spirit, who was peeling Sugar-Roasted Chestnuts nearby, answered for the Little Fox: "What if some senior figures come to visit our Purple Jade Mountain in the future, but your teacher Yu and the others are in seclusion? What will you do then? Will you have your master personally brew tea for everyone?"
"..."
Little Yellow Dragon opened his mouth, then silently lowered his head again, because when the Little Fox was teaching him 'Chinese,' he had said to him, 'If there is anything to be done, your disciple will do it.'
The young Little Yellow Dragon had never done anything for anyone before; in his entire dragon life, he had always been served by other creatures.
But now that I am someone else's disciple, I must do a good job as a disciple.
After learning tea ceremony, the next step is to study music. This is not mandatory; you don't have to learn the instruments, but you need to know what the instruments are and how to appreciate music and dance, lest you end up like a dragon that has never seen the world.
After two or three thousand years, Wu Zhan, carrying Torch Dragon's reply, returned to Purple Jade Mountain from the Eastern Sea Dragon Court.
Wu Zhan was lucky this time; he didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
As Wu Chu had guessed, Torch Dragon's answer was also 'yes,' but he had one condition: that Little Yellow Dragon could no longer practice the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method.
For Little Yellow Dragon, the fact that a dragon cannot cultivate the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method felt somewhat like bullying other dragons. However, considering his own cultivation of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, Wu Chu felt that not cultivating the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method wasn't such a big deal.
Moreover, this Little Yellow Dragon's aptitude is utterly unremarkable. With such aptitude, how could it possibly cultivate the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method... Wu Chu suddenly realized that if this Little Yellow Dragon were truly the future Huanglong Zhenren, then his switching allegiance to the Primordial Sect would make sense.
Since the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method couldn't help him advance further, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to switch to the Primordial Sect and cultivate the Primordial Jade Clarity Immortal Art in order to seek a breakthrough?
Ultimately, however, Wu Chu left the choice to Little Yellow Dragon.
After hearing this, Little Yellow Dragon looked at Wu Zhan with some confusion.
Wu Zhan sighed softly, "It's indeed a bit unreasonable for the Dragon Clan not to cultivate the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method. After I transformed from a Jiao (a type of dragon) into a dragon and cultivated the Dragon Clan Cultivation Method, my cultivation level improved significantly."
He paused, glanced at Wu Chu, and then said to the Little Yellow Dragon, "However, since Senior Torch Dragon sent you to Senior A Chu to cultivate, it must be for your own good. Otherwise, why would we go to such lengths to send you to Senior A Chu?"
Wu Zhan's words made Little Yellow Dragon nod silently. After all, although Little Yellow Dragon looked like a young dragon, he was still a dragon that was several thousand years old.
PS: Keep up the good work for our brothers in Henan! I hope they can get through this difficult time soon!
