Qian Renxue turned and sat down, looking at Bai Yu: "Sit down, what else is there? You didn't just come to see how I'm doing, did you?"
"It really is. I'm just bringing you something." Bai Yu said, then took out a box from his soul tool.
He handed the box to Qian Renxue and said, "There are two soul bones and an Immortal herb called the Sacred Flame Flower here."
"An Immortal herb?" Qian Renxue looked surprised and opened the box to take a look.
Bai Yu nodded: "That's right, it's the immortal herb, the Sacred Flaming Sun Flower. It has sixteen petals, covered with dense golden patterns, and a strange fire at its center."
"When using it, you need to hold the flower in your hands and absorb it with your soul power until the petals fall and the strange fire merges into your body."
Qian Renxue picked up the Sacred Flame Flower, looking at its magnificent blossoms and the golden flames dancing within them. She couldn't bear to absorb it and wanted to leave it behind.
Bai Yu said with a hint of helplessness, "This immortal herb is extremely compatible with your attributes. Using it can refine your physique, purify your spirit and soul, leaving it flawless and pure."
"It can also increase your soul power and enhance your fire attribute and purification effect."
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll absorb it later. By the way, what are these two soul bones?"
Qian Renxue quickly waved her hand and began to change the subject.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, he scratched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless, and said:
"These are for you to use as rewards for your subordinates: a piece of gold from a 60,000-year-old Vajra Bear and a piece of gold from a 50,000-year-old Five-Striped Python."
"Elders Porcupine and Serpent Spear have been protecting you for so many years, and who knows how many more years they will have left. They deserve to be rewarded."
"Speaking of the Vajra Exploding Bear, it was a gift from your grandfather when I became the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue looked at him in surprise, then spoke in a strange tone:
"Don't you need a soul bone yourself? Even if the attributes aren't suitable, you can exchange it. The collections of the elders in the Elder Hall are quite rich."
"This Holy Son is exceptionally gifted; a mere cricket soul bone is unnecessary!" Bai Yu raised his head, his expression arrogant.
Qian Renxue looked at him and laughed, "Hehe, you should take it back. I'll talk to Grandpa about the reward."
Seeing Qian Renxue's amused expression, Bai Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and said:
"I really don't need it. I just had Salas send over three hundred soul bones back to the teacher."
"I discovered before that my domain is very special, and I can sense the fluctuations of soul bones, so finding soul bones is very easy for me."
Qian Renxue stood up and said incredulously, "Does that mean we can have as many soul bones as we want in the future?"
Bai Yu shook his head: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. The drop rate of soul bones is too low, and most of them are low-level. High-age ones are very rare."
Qian Renxue gradually calmed down and looked at him: "That's good too. Most soul masters in the world can't get soul bones, but you can find them everywhere."
"Since you don't lack soul bones, why don't you absorb them?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, he pointed to himself and said:
"My body is now in yin-yang balance, and my soul power is constantly replenished. The soul bone has no other function besides giving me a soul skill."
"My physical strength will increase as my cultivation level increases, and it's no less than the boost from soul bones."
"You've also practiced my self-created soul skills, so you know I don't lack soul skills. Therefore, soul bones are useless to me and might even have side effects."
Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes, watching him boast in a serious manner, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
As the Bai Yu's voice faded, Qian Renxue came to her senses and said:
"In that case, I'll accept the soul bone. Do you have a place to live in Heaven Dou City? Would you like me to give you a mansion?"
Bai Yu waved his hand: "No need. I've finished my business in Tiandou City. I should leave now."
Qian Renxue looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. If... if you see my dear sister, please ask her if she still remembers me."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, his expression wavered slightly, and he said:
"I guess I can't help you with this. I ran away secretly this time, and I won't be going back for several years."
Qian Renxue looked surprised, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehe, alright then, be careful out there, see you later."
…
The Kingdom of Balak, Soto City.
Bai Yu, who left Tian Dou City, traveled all the way to Soto City, intending to visit Shrek Academy and make preparations for the future.
As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he will have to side with the Spirit Hall from now on, and Shrek Academy, where Tang San started, will naturally have to make plans early on.
Tang San is nothing; he could be crushed with a flick of the wrist. But if the Asura God is truly behind him, then things will be much more difficult.
"It's really awful," Bai Yu exclaimed, looking at Shrek Academy before him.
He then entered the village known as the Academy, observing and reflecting as he went:
"I originally wanted to go to Notting City to see seven-year-old Tang San and Little Rabbit, but that bastard Tang Hao is also there, so it's not appropriate for me to show myself."
(P.S.: According to the original novel, Qian Renxue is about nine to twelve years older than Tang San. Here, we take the ten-year age difference, which is the most widely accepted age difference.)
"But it doesn't matter. Tang San's rise started from Shrek Academy. Notting City only has Gangzi."
"Asura God, I really don't want to face you, but the key is that you stopped acting in the later stages. Without the first eight god tests, you practically just picked up the sword and inherited it. Isn't that a joke?"
"Who are you?" As the question rang out, a short but extremely robust man walked over from a distance.
Bai Yu snapped out of his daze, turned his head to look, and thought to himself, "Is that Zhao Wuji, that big bear?"
He then replied, "I heard there was a monster academy here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be so different from what I'd heard."
Zhao Wuji was taken aback, then looked at him more closely: "You're here to enroll? The entrance test is over, we're not accepting anyone now."
"Oh? Are you sure you don't want to accept it?" Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Bai Yu released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and four soul rings slowly floated.
"Soul King... no, a Soul Master with a fourth ring of ten thousand years!"
Zhao Wuji's eyes nearly popped out of his head in surprise. What kind of Soul Master has a Soul Ring configuration of yellow, purple, purple, and black? Are you sure this isn't a Soul King missing a yellow ring?
Composing himself, Zhao Wuji quickly walked up to Bai Yu, grabbed his arm, and felt his bone age.
"Twelve years old?" This time, Zhao Wuji really jumped up, so shocked he leaped three feet high, and said in a deep voice:
"Kid, are you really going to join Shrek Academy? Do your parents agree?"
When Zhao Wuji asked, he was also quite puzzled. Whose young master was this? But why was his martial soul Blue Silver Grass?
However, Zhao Wuji absolutely did not believe that someone who could become a Soul Master at the age of twelve and possess such a powerful Soul Ring configuration was a wild one.
Bai Yu waved his hand: "I can make my own decisions, but I came here because of the word 'monster'. I wonder if your academy has any students who can be called monsters?"
Hearing the question coming from above, Zhao Wuji looked embarrassed. He grabbed Bai Yu's arm and walked towards the village, saying as they went:
"Come in first. When the dean comes back, he'll tell you. I have something to do and I have to leave now."
As time passed, Flender followed Zhao Wuji into the academy.
"Are you telling the truth? There really is such a genius? You're not lying to me?" Flender looked at Zhao Wuji suspiciously.
Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes: "Why would I lie to you? Let's make this clear first, they're here for the monster. Whether they can be kept here or not depends on you."
Flender took a deep breath, his expression brightening, and began to speak:
"Don't worry, I can definitely fool him... cough cough, keep him in the academy."
Zhao Wuji glanced at the confident Flender and curled his lip.
