Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 187 Full Body Inscriptions

"Excuse me, is Xiao An home?"

"Young Master is sleeping. Who are you, and what is it?"

Youmeng hurriedly introduced herself as an instructor at the academy, responsible for teaching first-year students inscription.

Mussofi stopped digging, his shovel planted vertically into the soil. "You can come back at noon; the young master will be up for lunch!"

"Okay!" Youmu turned and left.

Mussofi continued the landscaping work in her courtyard. She bought some plants and flowers that could survive without sunlight at the flower and bird market in the capital.

The shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended two varieties: Money Tree and Silver Queen.

Carefully remove the sapling from the bamboo basket, place it in the dug pit, level the soil, and sprinkle some water and fertilizer as required.

The panda looked up at the sky and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Although it is described as a dark zone, there is still a faint light filtering through the clouds, so the plants are not completely unable to photosynthesize.

Gus didn't train with Musophie today; his sister Yezi's shop was opening, and he planned to help out and support her.

Although Ye Zi repeatedly emphasized that she didn't need any help from her family and could manage on her own, how could her parents feel at ease? They could only ask Gus to help take care of her secretly.

The location at the intersection has no shortage of foot traffic, and the enticing aroma of the pork chops is the best advertisement. Soon, the first batch of diners gathered inside. There was no grand opening discount or promotion; Yezi planned to maintain the affordable prices.

Many customers find that the food at Little Fish Canteen is cheaper and more convenient than cooking it themselves.

The main dishes include bread, mashed potatoes, jianbing (Chinese crepes), fried pork chops, and meat and vegetable soups. The bread and pork chops are sourced from a factory, with a batch delivered daily at a fixed time.

The rest are all handmade to order.

The eight employees are divided into two shifts: the morning shift starts at 5:00 AM and ends at 1:00 PM, while the evening shift runs from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

In addition, there are unofficial staff responsible for selling nighttime barbecue and minding the shop. The store is open 24 hours a day, not wasting a single minute.

"Her shop is actually doing pretty well..." Gus couldn't help but marvel. "I just wonder if she can make a profit selling things so cheaply."

It's ultimately a good thing that Ye Zi has a proper job. Gus felt it necessary to offer some support, at least to prevent certain individuals from interfering with his sister's life.

"Xiao An, wake up! Xiao An..." Yin Yue pinched the snoring nose with her fingers.

Tai'an opened his sleepy eyes and grabbed the silver-haired little fairy's wrist: "How dare you disturb my sleep?"

Punishment is necessary.

The silver-haired little fairy became a doormat delivered to her door.

"Xiao An! Stop fooling around, there are a lot of guests downstairs who need to see you..."

De Yulan visited again to confirm the time when the divine being would depart.

"What are your plans for the refined gold I requested?"

"Don't worry, I won't come looking for you if things aren't in place. Taking advantage of this demon invasion, our Tulip family exchanged some other precious resources for a considerable amount of adamantite from other families. That's more than enough for you right now."

"I said, it has to be prepared according to adult standards to count..."

"Yes, yes, it's an emergency, so you can use it for now! I'll arrange for someone to deliver it tomorrow at noon."

Tai'an reluctantly agreed.

De Yulan did not stay for the meal; the Kingdom Marshal's schedule was tight, and he left in a hurry.

Tai'an looked at Youmeng: "Mentor, what brings you here?"

"Of course, I'm asking you to come for tutoring this afternoon! You have to do me the honor."

"You covered almost everything in class yesterday, what do you want to talk about today? If it's not interesting, I'm not going..."

"You'll know when you get here." Youmu's expression was mysterious.

"Teacher! I want to attend the class too!" Yin Yue raised her hand.

"No way! One of my courses is one-on-one design, which isn't suitable for your current pace." Youmeng refused without hesitation, knowing that the white-haired girl was just deliberately trying to cause trouble.

"Xiao An, you're not allowed to leave me." Yin Yue hugged Tai An's arm and shook it, her pleading eyes, which she had never been taught, aroused the vanity and protective instincts of the opposite sex.

"You'd better watch the house!" Tai'an flicked Yin Yue on the forehead.

Youmu chuckled to herself, feeling that her charm had won out.

Come to think of it, how can a girl who hasn't even developed yet compare to a mature woman?

Tai'an suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Yaomeng if she could offer any help. Of course, he would offer a reasonable reward.

After lunch, the two went to the teaching office at the top of the Wizard Tower.

Tai'an cut to the chase: "Mentor, I would like to ask you to design a special set of inscriptions."

"How special do you want it to be? Aren't the hundreds of ready-made outfits on the market enough for you?" Youmu paused slightly, then became somewhat interested.

"The inscription set I want is one that is directly inscribed on the human body, with as many additional inscriptions as possible, and it must be guaranteed that they do not conflict with each other. If you can do that, I can pay whatever price you want," Tai'an promised readily.

"An interesting project." Youmu's eyes gleamed as she carefully examined the humanoid Tree of Life before her. If it were anyone else wanting to inscribe something on their body, she would definitely think they were out of their mind. But he was completely different. He was a miracle in himself, and couldn't be viewed by ordinary standards. The possibility of another miracle not being ruled out was not excluded: "How long do you want to wait for the design?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Xiao An, you've really given your professor a tough question! Do you know the consequences of body inscriptions? Or are you just looking for a meaningless answer?"

Tai'an offered no explanation, silently demonstrating his Source Eye to Youmu. His blue-white pupils constantly absorbed the surrounding magical energy. This was no ordinary genetic mutation.

Youmu couldn't hide the shock on her face: "Someone actually succeeded! What's so special about your eyes? It's not just pretty, is it? Like the mythical creature Medusa, who has the ability to petrify with her gaze. It's rumored that the petrification technique was created through the runes in Medusa's eyes."

"My eyesight is mainly auxiliary, for reconnaissance, X-ray vision, and slowing down time differences," Tai An roughly described.

"These are all pretty good abilities! No wonder you came to me! If someone could complete the full-body inscription, their life level would undergo a complete qualitative change." Youmu slammed her hand on the table, pacing excitedly in the office, her slender white fist pounding her palm: "You can do it, is there a trick to it?"

Although it's presumptuous of me, I'm still very curious.

"You should know that I have a special constitution," Tai'an replied.

"Yes! Your physique is different from everyone else's. Such a vast and vigorous life force is far beyond what even Saint-level experts can match. You are definitely not human; you are a humanoid form transformed from the Tree of Life." Youmu made this assertion unilaterally.

Let her misunderstand if she wants! Anyway, it won't hurt me, Tai'an thought.

"Wizard, you should understand the principle of equivalent exchange! I will design the most perfect human body inscription scheme for you, but you will have to bear the life energy consumption required for my daily life in the future." Youmu put forward the conditions.
