Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 144 Pansy

Inside the training field, Zhang Chen walked up to Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the spectator stands, and said, "Hey, why don't you go find someone to spar with?" "My Night Rakshasa is still only at the War General level; sparring with them wouldn't be very meaningful," Jiang Yu said, shrugging. Zhang Chen sat down and went straight to the point: "Do you want a lightning-type soul seed? A top-tier soul seed with a domain!"

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "I want it! Who could refuse that!"

Zhang Chen took out a container and tossed it to Jiang Yu, saying, "Try feeling this!"

"I can sell it to you for 800 million, but I want your master to help me sell a Star Sea Celestial Vein!"

Jiang Yu sensed the tyrannical thunder within and thought:

This is absolutely top-tier Soul Seed! It seems like Summoning and Lightning magic can be my main focus from now on, and it only costs 800 million! Ordinary Soul Seeds cost 900 million! ————”

Jiang Yu handed the vessel back and pondered, "My master will be here in a few days. I'll take you to ask him then!"

"Okay!" Zhang Chen said.

A week later, Feng Li gathered all the members of the National Government team together.

"Has any of you seen Lu Yilin recently?!" Feng Li asked. Everyone, including Zhang Chen, shook their heads. Feng Li frowned, his tone filled with anger: "Don't go running around lately! Something's probably happened to Lu Yilin!"

"Look at you all! We're almost at the very end, and instead of focusing on your training, you're running around! Now look what's happened! All that effort before has been wasted!"

Everyone nodded solemnly, except for Zhang Chen and Mo Fan, who remained calm and unconcerned about Feng Li's words.

Feng Li immediately bristled and glared, yelling, "I'm talking to you two! If you run around again, I'll break your legs!"

"Oh." Zhang Chen said, "Get out of here! Go and cultivate properly!" Feng Li was furious when he saw the two of them. Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Chen followed Jiang Yu to a courtyard where flowers and plants were in full bloom. An old man who looked quite hale and hearty was sitting at a table, quietly sipping tea.

Jiang Yu respectfully said, "Teacher!"

"Hmm! Your performance during the training was alright!" Pang Lai nodded, then turned to Zhang Chen: "Let me see the Soul Seed. You're really aiming too high. You haven't even reached the advanced level of cultivation yet, and you're already eyeing the Star Sea Celestial Vein!"

"I call it being prepared!" Zhang Chen handed over the soul seed with a smile. "Not bad! It's rare to encounter a top-tier lightning-type soul seed!" Pang Lai smiled and stroked his beard. "I won't take advantage of you. Transfer another ten billion to me, and I'll have Jiang Yu deliver it to you in a few days!" Pang Lai chuckled. "Okay!"

The price of a Star Sea Celestial Vein fluctuates around three billion. Inside Nan Rongni's room, Nan Rongni knew the chances of obtaining the Ice Bow were extremely slim. So, facing Mu Tingying, she pretended to be unwilling to see Mu Ningxue have her Ice Bow taken away, saying, "You guys go ahead. After all, I've been with Mu Ningxue for so long, and I have some feelings for her. I really can't bear to see her have her Ice Bow taken away—go and get it back, then I'll absorb it!"

Mu Tingying asked suspiciously, "Do you know something? Why are you hesitating?"

Nan Rongni, after all, always pretends to be someone else, so how could she let Mu Tingying, a fool, see through her disguise? She sincerely said, "No! You should bring more people over, otherwise you might not be able to control Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. It would be best to include Zhang Chen and Mu Nujiao as well, as they are very close."

Mu Tingying said, "You're right! Panxi alone can't control them! I'll go tell Panxi right now! Get the Fused Ice Bow ready!"

After saying this, she hurriedly left. Nan Rongni watched Mu Tingying's retreating figure with a sly smile. "Let you go and scout ahead! Even if you fail, it won't be the Nan Rong family's fault. We'll have room for maneuver in the future."

Two weeks later, Zhang Chen finally broke through to the advanced level three of Space and Chaos. He was overjoyed and dragged Mu Nujiao out to play. Just as they arrived at the hall, they saw Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue coming down from the other side.

Mu Nujiao warmly greeted Mu Ningxue, "Ningxue! Where are you all headed?"

Mu Ningxue rarely showed a smile: "I've been so bored with all this training lately, I'm going out for a walk, want to come along?"

"Let's go! Us too!" With that, Mu Nujiao pulled Mu Ningxue ahead, the two of them linking arms and chatting and laughing.

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan were naturally behind them. Zhang Chen asked, "What is your cultivation level now?"

"Thunderfire, high-level level 3; the others, high-level level 2. What about you?" Mo Fan said. "Space, plants, and chaos, high-level level 3; the others, high-level level 2!" Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Damn! How did you cultivate so fast! I remember you dropped more than me when you were in the ancient capital, right?" Mo Fan's eyes widened in surprise. "Who knows?" Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Actually, it's because of the Sacred Tree. Now, the Sacred Tree has given Zhang Chen a terrifying 15-fold increase in cultivation! In addition, with the Star River Magic Artifact, his cultivation is naturally ridiculously fast. If he had allocated all his cultivation time to his mind before the competition, his mind system should have reached high-level level 3 as well."

Before they knew it, the group had reached a small stone bridge. Suddenly, hostile mages appeared in front of them, behind them, and on the surrounding houses.

They seemed to have cleared the area of ​​people in advance. Zhang Chen and his three companions noticed this instantly and stood back to back, warily looking around. Zhang Chen estimated that there were fifty-six mages around. Just as Zhang Chen was preparing to strike first, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from in front.

"Don't be nervous!"

Mu Ningxue turned her head and looked at the man in his thirties with a gentle smile. Her expression became complicated.

"What a cruel twist of fate! Ten years ago, I promised you that as long as you wanted to and put in the effort, you would definitely become the most powerful ice mage in our clan. But I never expected that such a thing would happen."

The man walked onto the bridge, leaned against the railing, and uttered a sigh.

"Who are you?!" Mo Fan asked.

Mu Ningxue didn't speak; she simply didn't understand the purpose of this person's presence here.

A large part of her talent and excellence comes from the man in front of her. He chose her from among the many branches of the Mu family and allowed her to live in the vast Mu clan, enjoying princess-like treatment and the best cultivation resources.

Mu Ningxue still hadn't figured out this person's position in the Mu clan. It seemed that a single word from him could sway the entire clan meeting, even though she wasn't actually a direct member of the Mu clan. He could still elevate her to such a high position.

"Have you always wanted to know who I am?"

The man completely ignored Mo Fan, but seeing the glint in Mu Ningxue's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Mm." Mu Ningxue nodded.

"You don't need to call me 'sir' anymore; it makes me sound like your mentor. My name is Pansy," the man said.

"Panxi, not surnamed Mu?" Mu Ningxue asked with some surprise.
