After Blueberry left, Huo Yuhao began to look around the room.
The room is not big, but it has everything you need, even a separate bathroom and a desk. Most importantly, through the window, you can see the street directly opposite the barbecue house.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. He would have to stay here until he met the big bug and Electrolux. He had to make a good impression on Blueberry Sister who took him in.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao immediately began to look for cleaning tools and prepared to clean up, but just as he was about to start, he noticed the bag that Ma Xiaotao gave him.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao temporarily put down the broom and walked to the bag to remove its rope.
When the entrance of the bag was freed, the items inside were revealed.
Huo Yuhao looked over and his eyes widened.
What was in the bag was nothing but the pieces of meat he had exchanged from Yao Haoxuan. At a glance, there were probably more than twenty-four of them.
At the same time, there was a note inside.
Huo Yuhao was surprised and opened it. The handwriting on the note was very delicate.
[Xiao Yuhao, this piece of meat is made from deep-sea tiger fish meat and other medicinal herbs. It has high nutritional value, but with your current physical condition, eating one-third of a piece a day is enough. Don't be greedy. Oh, by the way, this thing tastes extremely bad, super bitter. You'd better eat some sugar to moisten your mouth before eating it. - Ma Xiaotao]
Huo Yuhao fell silent and sat on the bed, just staring at the note.
……
Shrek Academy, the first academy on the continent, is located in the east of Shrek City. Compared with the bustling outer college with people coming and going, the depths of Shrek Academy seems much quieter.
In the center of the huge circular lake is an island-like existence. A towering tree that is far taller than the other plants stands out from the crowd, overlooking the entire island.
The soft moonlight sprinkled on the giant trees, covering them with a layer of white gauze. The plants on the grass seemed to be able to separate a kind of light spot, which slowly rose up, like a flying firefly. The lake water gently lapped the shore, splashing silver-white water. A bright moon sank to the bottom of the water, and the sky and the earth seemed to merge into one.
On the island, there are many houses and attics, hidden among the myriad herbs and brightly lit.
In the simple living room, there is only a heavy long table with nine chairs on each side. There is no soul guide lamp in the room, but it looks very bright. A faint golden fluorescence emanates from the 'walls' and 'floor', and the soft life elements continue to spread around.
This is the core location of the entire Shrek Academy.
Poseidon Pavilion!
"In other words, you discovered a few special sea soul masters this time?" An old man with a slovenly appearance looked at the beautiful woman with a serious look.
If Huo Yuhao were here, he would definitely recognize that this beautiful woman is Zhang Lexuan.
But she was the only one who came here.
Facing the old man, Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice: "Yes. The mounts of these people are actually ten thousand year level sea soul beasts. The most important thing is that when they appeared, they did not have any boats. In other words, they completely relied on those sea soul beasts to roam the sea."
"Mr. Mu, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the sloppy old man quickly looked towards the main seat at the long table, which was blocked by a simple curtain, but a figure lying on his back could be vaguely seen behind the curtain.
Zhang Lexuan also looked in that direction, and in an instant, the entire living room fell into silence.
This silence lasted for about ten seconds. Finally, a gentle voice came from behind the curtain, "Besides them, I can't think of anyone else who can drive a ten thousand year soul beast as a mount on the sea."
Hearing this, the sloppy old man and Zhang Lexuan both looked serious.
The "they" that Mr. Mu was referring to were most likely the Sea God Island's Sea Soul Masters who helped Tang San achieve the status of Sea God ten thousand years ago.
"Le Xuan, what did these sea soul masters do after they appeared?" asked Elder Mu in a calm voice.
Zhang Lexuan quickly replied, "Mr. Mu, they emerged from the deep sea and headed directly to the land of the Sun Moon Empire. From my observation, there are at least two Titled Douluo among them, so we didn't dare to follow them to investigate. After killing all the pirates who were causing trouble in the area, we returned."
There was another period of silence.
"I understand. You must be tired from leading the team out this time. Go and have a rest." Mr. Mu said after a moment's silence.
"Mr. Mu, I have another important matter to report to you." Zhang Lexuan said.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Mu's tone was still calm and gentle.
Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice: "On the way back this time, near the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, we came across a camphor tree that was about to transform into a soul beast. But the strange thing is that we have checked all the trees within a few miles, but only this one tree has evolved. You know, there has never been a record of ordinary trees becoming soul beasts in that area."
"In addition, this tree has the unique ability to sense danger of plant-type soul beasts when it is less than ten years old. I think there is something special going on, so I brought this tree back directly and specially informed you, Mr. Mu."
"It's interesting that an ordinary tree species evolved into a soul beast and even had the ability to sense danger in advance." The sloppy old man pinched his chin and whispered with a slightly shining look in his eyes.
"I have already informed Xiaozhuang. You can go to him for answers. If you find anything, please record it in the book."
Mu Lao's voice sounded.
"Yes." Zhang Lexuan responded respectfully, and then left the Poseidon Pavilion.
After Zhang Lexuan left, the slovenly old man looked back at the main seat, "Mr. Mu, do you think those people are really from Poseidon Island?"
"It is very likely that it is them." Mu Lao lay calmly in the recliner, his eyes deep, "Xuan Zi, do you think the hatred will last for ten thousand years?"
"What kind of hatred can last for ten thousand years? People have changed one after another." The sloppy old man held a huge wine gourd in his hand. He took a sip of wine and shook his head. He was the famous Taotie Douluo of Douluo Continent, Xuanzi.
"It's hard to say." Old Mu sighed, as if he was hiding something.
Xuan Zi paused in drinking.
But before he could ask anything, Elder Mu spoke again, "How is the progress of the Soul Guidance Joint Conference that I asked you to participate in?"
Xuan Zi continued, "Everything is going well. Most of the major sects that are interested in soul guides have basically rushed to our Shrek City. But..." As he spoke, a puzzled look appeared on Xuan Zi's face.
"Mr. Mu, do you really value soul guides so much? For us powerful soul masters, the power of the martial soul that we control is the kingly way."
"Hmph." A light snort came from Mu Lao's mouth, and he scolded, "You have lived for more than 200 years, but it seems that you have lived in vain. How can I entrust the heavy responsibility of the academy to you in the future?"
"Uh..." After being scolded, Xuan Zi scratched his head awkwardly, but did not dare to refute anything.
"The future of Douluo Continent is the future of soul guides. If we stay where we are, we will only be faced with the torrent of history. When that time comes, we will no longer be able to resist and will be swept away by the torrent." Mu Lao's tone became serious.
"The Shrek Academy cannot be destroyed in our hands, otherwise how can we explain to our ancestors in the future?"
"Four thousand years ago, they won the war that changed the situation on the continent, and our Shrek Academy became independent. But four thousand years later, can we still win that war?"
Xuan Zi's eyes moved and he wanted to express his thoughts, but he was interrupted by Mr. Mu.
"Xuan Zi." Elder Mu's voice became more serious. "Let me ask you, what are the similarities between the current academy and the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago?"
Hearing this question, Xuan Zi's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked at Mu Lao in disbelief.
Can this be said?
Chapter 35: Camphor Tree Containing the Power of the Sun
Mu Lao knew that Xuan Zi could not give any answer, so he sighed and said, "We have too many similarities. We are independent of the empire and a holy land for soul masters, but these are not the key points. The most important point is that we, Shrek Academy, have too many enemies. When we are strong, everything is easy. When we are weak, the enemies will bite us like hungry wolves."
"The world is changing, and we have to change too. I don't have much time left, but I can still protect the academy for a while. Sooner or later, these heavy responsibilities will be handed over to you. When that day comes, you will understand what I am worried about."
"Mr. Mu, you..." When Xuan Zi heard Mr. Mu say that he didn't have much time left, his expression suddenly changed.
To the outside world, everyone on the mainland thought that Taotie Douluo was the strongest in Shrek, but outsiders did not know that the old Mu lying on the chair was the real strongest. With him, the academy could stand firm despite the ups and downs.
If Mu Lao leaves, I'm afraid...
"Don't worry, before I die, I can still see Le Xuan, Xiao Tao and other young people grow up and take over the positions of us old guys." Old Mu said calmly. He has lived for more than 200 years and has long taken life and death lightly.
Xuan Zi fell silent, he didn't know what to say.
Through the curtain, Mu Lao glanced at Xuan Zi and shook his head, saying, "The Body Sect has been very close to the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire recently. You have to pay more attention, remember."
"Yes." Xuan Zi said in a heavy tone.
……
On the other side, after Zhang Lexuan left the Poseidon Pavilion, she first called Yao Haoxuan, who was carrying the camphor tree in the evolutionary stage, and the two went to the herb garden where Zhuang Lao, one of the Shrek elders, often stayed.
Located on the far right side of Poseidon Island, where there is the most vegetation, is a special building. It is a building that looks like an upside-down bowl, with a large number of herbs climbing on it. Everything seems to be hidden from the world. In terms of life elements, this place is almost second only to Poseidon Pavilion.
The door of the building was open, connecting to a winding and rugged stone road leading outward. Zhang Lexuan and Yao Haoxuan walked straight in without any delay.
As soon as you step in, the first thing that catches your eye is the blue silver grass all over the ground, as numerous as weeds. On the ceiling in the center of the room, hangs a huge soul guide lamp in the shape of a petal. Warm and soft light emanates from there, illuminating the entire interior of the building.
There is the sound of flowing water and the elegant fragrance of flowers all around.
It can be said that the space inside this building is completely like a garden, where you can see a large number of rare species of herbs.
"Shh."
A faint green light rhythmically appeared on the ground, and the next moment, an old man with a ruddy face like a child and gray hair appeared in front of the two people with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuang." Zhang Lexuan and Yao Haoxuan stopped and called out respectfully together.
"I already know the details. Bring out the camphor tree and show it to me." Mr. Zhuang said.
"Yes." Yao Haoxuan responded, then activated his soul power and prepared to take out the camphor tree placed inside the soul guide.
His storage belt can hold living things, but there are strict restrictions on storing living things. Intelligent life forms with a high degree of life origin cannot be placed in it. For example, plants such as camphor trees, even if they want to evolve into soul beasts, cannot be considered very powerful intelligent life forms before they succeed in evolving.
But placing living creatures in it will consume more soul power, because you need to release soul power all the time to operate it. Once the soul power support is gone, the living creatures placed in it will be forced out.
Soon, a six-meter-tall camphor tree as thick as a water tank appeared in front of the three people. Its branches were lush and leafy, with a dark green color. Everything looked normal, nothing special. But the strange thing was that there seemed to be a golden thread on the veins of these leaves.
The golden thread is extremely obscure, almost hidden in the dark green, and it would be impossible to detect it without extremely strong perception.
When Mr. Zhuang saw the camphor tree, his eyes changed immediately. With a serious expression, he walked a few steps to the camphor tree, reached out and touched the trunk of the camphor tree. The next moment, as if he had something in mind, his mind moved, and a powerful life attribute soul power poured directly from his hands into the camphor tree.
In an instant, the brown bark of the camphor tree directly changed into layers of green light. The leaves on the branches of the camphor tree turned tender green in an instant, and a faint breath of life emanated outward.
Just as Zhang Lexuan and Yao Haoxuan were watching this scene curiously, Old Zhuang suddenly increased the amount of soul power injected, and the life elements around him became extremely active and even slightly sticky.
The shadow of an ancient tree containing powerful vitality flashed past behind Old Zhuang. It was his martial soul, the Tree of Life.
"Shh."
After receiving such high-intensity life energy, suddenly, something shocked both Zhang Lexuan and Yao Haoxuan. They saw that thousands of leaves of the camphor tree turned directly into gold.
At the same time, a faint scent of heat and warmth continued to spread from the leaves.
They were both top students in the inner courtyard, but they couldn't understand these changes.
"Mr. Zhuang, what's going on?" Zhang Lexuan asked hurriedly.
Old Zhuang stroked his beard and said in amazement, "The original life of this camphor tree has been injected with the power of the sun, causing it to mutate and evolve. If I'm not mistaken, once it evolves into a soul beast, its attributes will directly be the two attributes of fire and light. It will definitely become a powerful soul beast."
"However, due to the innate deficiencies of this species, even if it becomes a soul beast, it will be difficult to improve its cultivation without external interference."
"But this is not important, Le Xuan, you have brought me a great surprise this time. This camphor tree can be maintained in the future. Once it becomes a soul beast of about 100 years old, its roots and leaves can be added to the medicine. It will have a strong auxiliary effect on some special and difficult-to-refine pills."
"Xiao Tao's martial spirit gives Shaozhe a headache. Maybe with the help of this camphor tree, I can find a way to purify Xiao Tao's evil fire. Even if it can't cure the root cause, it will definitely be a temporary solution."
"So magical?" Zhang Lexuan and Yao Haoxuan were a little surprised.
The Herb Garden is actually the place where Shrek’s inner courtyard is used to make elixirs.
"More than that." Old Zhuang's face turned serious. "I think this tree has many secrets that I haven't discovered yet. Leave the follow-up matters to me, and I will sort them out."
Zhang Lexuan's pretty face was filled with surprise. She didn't expect that a tree she met on the way could be so amazing.
But... who injected the power of the sun?
After leaving the Grassland, Yao Haoxuan also planned to leave, "Big Sister, I have to go to the Nine Treasures Auction House first. The team from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is here."
"Go, and remember to entertain the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's delegation well." Zhang Lexuan instructed.
"Don't worry, they are all old acquaintances of mine." Yao Haoxuan smiled and patted his chest.
After Yao Haoxuan left, Zhang Lexuan walked alone to a pavilion and looked at the bright moon in the sky. She seemed to remember something, and a rare look of loss appeared on her pretty face.
The soft moonlight fell, and only fireflies kept her company.
For the setting of Mr. Zhuang, I referred to the anime. Well, there were problems with Mr. Zhuang in the original work.
At the beginning, there was a Soul Sage-level Tree of Life Soul Master who was called by Zhou Yi to help treat the students, but later it was written as Zhuang Lao. However, Zhuang Lao was obviously a Titled Douluo, which was inconsistent, so the Soul Sage setting was deleted and directly changed to Zhuang Lao.
Chapter 36 My home is in Shrek City, and I have three buildings for rent.
"Oh, have you finished cleaning?" In front of the door of the room, Blueberry held the bedding and looked at the clean room in surprise.
This room was originally used to store groceries and was very messy. She didn't expect that it would be cleaned up in just an hour.
Huo Yuhao scratched his head and smiled, saying, “I thought it was fine, so I tidied it up. I also cleaned up the corridor on the second floor.”
Blueberry's eyes moved slightly and she praised, "Not bad, not bad. By the way, this is the quilt for you." As she spoke, Blueberry handed the quilt in her arms to Huo Yuhao.
The quilt is very thick, which is very suitable for this autumn season. However, the weather in Douluo Continent is too weird. Although it is autumn, the temperature in Shrek City is still a bit hot. It is estimated that it will take another month for the temperature to drop completely.
“Thank you.” Huo Yuhao took the bedding and placed it on the bed he had tidied.
Blueberry said, "I was thinking of closing the shop and helping you clean up, but I didn't expect you'd already finished. Okay, now that the business is closed, and you haven't had dinner yet, come down and eat."
