Chapter 12: Farewell, Shrek Layout
Qian Renxue turned and sat down, looking at Bai Yu: “Sit. Tell me, what else is there? You didn’t just come to see how I was doing, did you?”
“That’s exactly it, and to bring you something.” Bai Yu said, then took out a box from his spirit tool.
He handed the box to Qian Renxue and said, “There are two Spirit Bones here, and an Immortal Herb called the Sacred Fiery Sun Flower.”
“Immortal Herb?” Qian Renxue’s expression was surprised as she opened the box to look.
Bai Yu nodded: “That’s right, it’s an Immortal Herb, the Sacred Fiery Sun Flower. It has sixteen petals, dense golden patterns, and an exotic flame in its center.”
“When using it, you need to hold the flower in your hand and absorb it with spirit power until the petals wither and the exotic flame merges into your body.”
Qian Renxue picked up the Sacred Fiery Sun Flower, looking at the luxurious flower and the golden flame flickering within it. She couldn’t bear to absorb it, wanting to keep it.
Bai Yu was a bit helpless: “This Immortal Herb is extremely compatible with your attribute. Using it can refine your physique, purify your divine soul, making it flawless and pure.”
“It can also increase your spirit power and enhance your fire attribute and purification effects.”
“Alright, alright, I know. I’ll absorb it later. By the way, what about these two Spirit Bones?”
Qian Renxue quickly waved her hand, starting to change the subject.
Hearing Qian Renxue’s words, he scratched the corner of his mouth, a bit speechless:
“These are for you to bestow upon your subordinates. One comes from a sixty-thousand-year Adamant Explosive Bear, and the other from a fifty-thousand-year Five-Pattern Golden Thread Python.”
“Porcupinefish and Snake Lance, the two Elders, have been guarding you for so many years, and who knows how many more years it will be. They should be rewarded.”
“Speaking of which, the Adamant Explosive Bear’s Spirit Bone was given to me by your grandfather when I became the Spirit Hall Saint Child.”
Qian Renxue looked at him in surprise, then her tone became strange:
“Don’t you need Spirit Bones yourself? Even if the attributes aren’t suitable, you can exchange them. The Elder Palace’s several Grand Elder’s collections are very rich.”
“This Saint Child is exceptionally talented. Mere Spirit Bones, I don’t need them!” Bai Yu raised his head, his expression arrogant.
Qian Renxue looked at him and laughed: “Hehe, you should take them back. I’ll talk to grandfather about the rewards.”
Looking at the smiling Qian Renxue, Bai Yu’s expression was a bit awkward. He opened his mouth and said:
“I really don’t need them. I just had Salas send over three hundred Spirit Bones back to my teacher.”
“I discovered earlier that my Domain is very special; it can sense the fluctuations of Spirit Bones, so finding Spirit Bones is very easy for me.”
Qian Renxue stood up, speaking in disbelief: “Doesn’t that mean you can have as many Spirit Bones as you want in the future?”
Bai Yu shook his head: “It’s not as exaggerated as you think. The drop rate of Spirit Bones is too low, and most of them are low-level. High-grade ones are rare.”
Qian Renxue slowly calmed down and looked at him: “That’s still very good. Most Spirit Masters in the world desperately seek Spirit Bones, but for you, they are everywhere.”
“Since you don’t lack Spirit Bones, why don’t you absorb them?”
Hearing Qian Renxue’s question, he pointed to himself and said:
“My body already has a yin-yang balance, and my spirit power is endless. Spirit Bones only give me a Spirit Ability; they have no other use.”
“My physical strength will also increase as my cultivation improves, no worse than the amplification of Spirit Bones.”
“You’ve also cultivated my self-created Spirit Ability, so you know I don’t lack Spirit Abilities. Therefore, Spirit Bones are useless to me, and might even have side effects.”
Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes, watching him boast so earnestly, a strange feeling surfacing in her heart.
As Bai Yu’s voice faded, Qian Renxue came back to her senses and said:
“Since that’s the case, I’ll accept the Spirit Bones. Do you have a place to stay in Heaven Dou City? Do you want me to give you a residence?”
Bai Yu waved his hand: “No need. Everything I came to Heaven Dou City for has been taken care of. I should leave now.”
Qian Renxue looked at him, her tone pausing: “Alright. You can come find me if you need anything in the future. If… if you see my good older sister, please ask her for me if she still remembers me.”
Hearing Qian Renxue’s words, his expression wavered a bit as he said:
“I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. I snuck out this time and won’t be back for several years.”
Qian Renxue’s expression was stunned, then she couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Hehe, alright then. Be careful out there. See you again.”
...
Balak Kingdom, Soto City.
Bai Yu, who left Heaven Dou City, traveled all the way to Soto City, preparing to check in at Shrek Academy and make preparations for the future.
As the Spirit Hall Saint Child, his allegiance would eventually lie with Spirit Hall. Therefore, Shrek Academy, where Tang San started, naturally needed to be laid out early.
Tang San is nothing; he can be crushed at will. But if there truly is the shadow of the Asura God behind him, then it becomes more troublesome.
“It’s really dilapidated,” Bai Yu exclaimed, looking at Shrek Academy before him.
He then walked into this village called an academy, observing and thinking:
“I originally wanted to go to Nuoding City to see the seven-year-old Tang San and the little rabbit, but Tang Ri Tian, that dog, is also there, so it’s not good to show myself.”
(P.S.: According to the original work, Qian Renxue is about nine to twelve years older than Tang San. Here, we take ten years, which is the most widely accepted number.)
“But it doesn’t matter. Tang San’s rise began from Shrek. Nuoding City only has a Gang Zi.”
“Asura God, I really don’t want to face you. But the key is that in the later stages, you don’t even pretend anymore. Without the first eight God Trials, you practically just pick up the sword and inherit it. Isn’t that a joke?”
“Who are you?” As the question sounded, a short but extremely muscular person walked over from a distance.
Bai Yu came back to his senses, turned to look, and thought to himself: “Is that Zhao Wuji, that big bear?”
He then replied: “I heard there’s a monster academy here, so I came to see it. I didn’t expect it to be less impressive than its reputation.”
Zhao Wuji was startled, then looked closely again: “Are you here to enroll? The enrollment test has already passed. We’re not accepting anyone now.”
“Oh? Are you sure you’re not accepting?” Hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Bai Yu released his Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and four spirit rings slowly floated.
“Spirit King… No? A Spirit Ancestor with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring!”
Zhao Wuji’s eyes nearly popped out in surprise. Whose good Spirit Ancestor’s spirit ring configuration is yellow, purple, purple, black? Are you sure this isn’t a Spirit King missing a yellow ring?
Collecting himself, Zhao Wuji quickly walked in front of Bai Yu, grabbed his arm, and felt his bone age.
“Twelve years old?” This time, Zhao Wuji really jumped up, leaping three feet high in shock, and said in a condensed voice:
“Kid, do you really want to join Shrek Academy? Do your adults agree?”
As Zhao Wuji asked, he was also quite puzzled. Whose young master is this? But why is his Spirit the Blue Silver Grass?
However, to cultivate to a Spirit Ancestor at twelve years old and possess such a strong spirit ring configuration, Zhao Wuji would never believe he was a wild Spirit Master.
Bai Yu waved his hand: “I make my own decisions. However, I came here for the word ‘monster’. I wonder if your academy has any students who can be called monsters?”
Zhao Wuji listened to the inquiry, his expression awkward. He pulled Bai Yu’s arm and walked into the village, saying as he walked:
“You come in first. When the dean returns, I’ll let him talk to you. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Time flowed, and Flender followed Zhao Wuji into the academy.
“Are you telling the truth? Is there really such a genius? You’re not lying to me?” Flender looked suspiciously at Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes: “Why would I lie to you? First of all, he came here for monsters. Whether you can keep him depends on you.”
Flender took a deep breath, his expression invigorated, and said:
“Don’t worry, I can definitely trick him… cough, cough, keep him in the academy.”
Zhao Wuji looked at the confident Flender and curled his lips.
