Where did you get that? And why, all of things, a Teapot?
It's light beige - sandstone probably. A few character are etched - one red, one blue, three black. You recognize the blue one - Eye - and the last Black one - Mouth.
You gently put it down, and focus on circulating your energy among your two apertures. It feels wrong - you see your Astral self with a blur, like something is missing.
Weird. You pick the teapot back, and things go back in order. You tie the teapot to the sash you use as a belt.
You also think back on how you moved away from the fire. The technic name echoes in your mind.
Unlimited Ground-contracting Kick.
A strong leg movement, resulting in a jump impossibly fast and long. For now, said impossibility is only perceptible by yourself - this is a split second shorter, a couple inch longer than a non-powered jump.
The next day, masters praise you for opening the Eye aperture. Your fabric-layered ball at your belt draw quite a few gazes, but your privacy is respected.
A personal win : you broke through before both Ai and Dhundan - both of which are further motivated in their study and work twice at hard, following in your wake in the next week while you still work on stabilizing your realm.

The symbols painted on the teapot push your will to learn. Ryota have little time for you with the influx of new kids, and so do you with so much circulation dedicated to your stabilization, but you make it work, furthering your knowledge of characters.
You ask about some specific symbols. Ryota raise an eyebrow to the cloth-cover ball at your belt, but you're not sure you want to talk of it to him yet. You didn't even tried it yet : you don't have access to tea leaves yourself.
In the end, the characters mean, in order, "Heart, "Eye", "Nose", "Ear" and "Mouse".
"<span class="mu-s">So, those are the Five Aperture. You opened your Heart Aperture first, and recently the Eye Aperture. Once your realm is stabilized, I'll show you how to fill the Nose Aperture.
It is said that without help, it would take a normal cultivator 2 year to open it. Sect members got help; children does not learn exactly as fast as an adult Loose Cultivator.</span>"
