Heard you want to make a wish too?

Passing the ancient gates of Shrek Academy, Chen Fu looked back, his thoughts drifting.

Chen Fu was born in the battle zone between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. His cheap refugee father, with immense prestige, united refugees from both sides to establish a new city from ruins. Although the residents were diverse, the town leaned towards the "Defender" role of the Star Luo, and as the town grew, the Star Luo authorities officially recognized its legitimacy and incorporated it into their ruling system.

Later, Chen Fu's entry into Shrek Academy was thanks to that City Lord Recommendation Letter, entering the Soul Tool Department through special recruitment with an Innate level 5 soul power. Even a genius needs a stage to showcase themselves.

I always thought your political acumen was dull, but I never expected you to pave the way for our descendants' class leap with your life.

Thinking of the current City Lord of that place, Chen Fu felt that the man who could never establish his father's authority was truly not worth it.

Just a mere general in a small Duke's Mansion, trash.

"Young Master."

The middle-aged man who had just arrived called out softly.

"Let's go, Uncle Fu. I'll have to trouble you a lot from now on."

Chen Fu turned and walked towards the end of the street with the middle-aged man called Uncle Fu.

"How did things go?"

"All the shops have been transferred, totaling 180,000 Gold Soul Coins after conversion. As you requested, I rounded down the odd change."

Uncle Fu was with Chen Fu when they came to Shrek City. He rented a shop in the city to sell the low-end conventional soul tools Chen Fu usually practiced with. With superior quality, the shop gained many loyal supporters.

"Mm, good. You did well."

Chen Fu nodded. After turning through several streets, they arrived at the most prosperous Main Street in Shrek City.

This street, with exits for both the Inner and Outer Courts, was exceptionally bustling.

Generally speaking, a huge sum of 180,000 Gold Soul Coins wouldn't even make a ripple here.

After pausing to observe, Chen Fu finally walked into a very large flower shop with a strong classical architectural style.

"Hello, customer. How may I help you?"

Seeing someone finally enter, the girl who had been dozing behind the counter quickly tidied her skirt and then peeked out.

"Whoa! A rare visitor! What brings you out today, you gatekeeper of the library?"

Upon seeing who it was, the girl was extremely surprised. This Junior Student had been quite famous back then.

"I heard before that Senior Sister had opened a flower shop on the Commercial Street, but I really didn't expect you to open it here."

The girl was using the prime location, which was worth its weight in gold, to sell flowers with very low added value, which was quite surprising.

"Hehe, I like it."

The girl chuckled, offering no further explanation.

"I want to talk about cooperation."

"Okay, go ahead."

The girl beckoned everyone to sit and poured tea.

"I'd like to rent a portion of your shop, Senior Sister, to sell Soul Tools."

"Oh, sure."

The girl was a little surprised but agreed readily.

"No need for rent. I remember if the academy hadn't issued a ban, you would have monopolized the low-end Soul Tool market in the city back then." Perhaps thinking of something amusing, Mo Ling's slightly chubby face broke into a smile.

"Then what do you want, Senior Mo?" Chen Fu smiled back. New technology, new materials, new designs, and simpler, more organized processes. At the time, he hadn't expected the Soul Tool market in Shrek City to be so weak. He later understood the reason: his Level Two Soul Tools were equivalent to others' Level Three Soul Tools, and of better quality.

"Can I ask for anything?" Mo Ling propped her face up, her beautiful big eyes twinkling.

"You can make a wish first, and I'll do my best to fulfill it."

When Chen Fu was researching [Nirvana], he had consulted many students about their Spirit Natures, leaving behind many promises. They had all been fulfilled perfectly, earning him the nickname "Little Wish Machine."

"Hehe, I don't have high demands. I just don't know if you can solve the issue of Spirit Poisoning?" Mo Ling asked Chen Fu with a smile.

"Snake Spirit... are you a Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit?" As a classic example of Spirit Contamination, the Jade Phosphor Serpent had always been a typical case.

That's not right. Those round eyes, that chubby face, and that not-so-bright gaze don't fit the mutation signs of a Jade Phosphor Serpent. Chen Fu mused inwardly.

"I feel like you're thinking of something disrespectful." Glaring at Chen Fu, Mo Ling continued, "When I was young, I was greedy and ate a Remnant Pill from a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. Although I was saved, it left a root of illness. My Soul Power carries some toxicity, and as my cultivation deepens, the toxicity also slowly increases."

This was also why Mo Ling chose to slack off after graduation. The higher her cultivation, the more likely she was to suffer sudden death.

Her Spirit was the Treasure Golden Silk Bear, a type of Hamster Spirit associated with good fortune. Its combat power was relatively weak, but its luck had always been excellent.

Chen Fu didn't ask why she didn't follow the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison Standard Detoxification Plan. Jade Phosphor Serpent Soul Masters could control it actively, but Mo Ling couldn't.

"Spirit Contamination Phenomenon," Chen Fu understood. Regarding Spirit Research, he had achieved considerable results through cross-disciplinary study.

Compared to the uncontrollable nature of the evil fire in the Spiritual Root, this Snake Venom Contamination was actually more operable.

Mental Factors and Bloodline Factors together formed a Spirit. Mo Ling's current situation was that her Bloodline Factor was infected, and her Mental Factor and Bloodline Factor had developed incompatibility.

At this point, she could either choose clearance or strengthen the contamination to promote Spirit Mutation.

He proposed two options and waited for Mo Ling's choice.

Looking at Mo Ling, who was clearly conflicted, Chen Fu suggested, "Promoting Spirit Mutation might take longer, but the upper limit could be higher."

"Alright! Then let's clear it!" Mo Ling slapped the table and made a decision. "This little mouse wants to be a pure little mouse."

This is making things difficult for me, isn't it? Chen Fu felt a bit helpless internally.

The clearance plan would involve some knowledge of human anatomy, an area he had little contact with.

"Give me two months. I'll first resolve Senior Mo's cultivation issues, and then we'll see about clearing the toxins from your body."

With a plan in mind, Chen Fu laid out the steps.

"Hooray!" This little mouse is alive again!

After sending off the bouncing Mo Ling, Chen Fu called Uncle Fu and Mo Ling's management staff to make some minor shop renovations.

First, he hung his golden signboard [Lin Zi Ge] outside, right next to Mo Ling's [Orchid Fragrance Pavilion]. Even the best wine needs a good location, though Chen Fu wasn't afraid of that.

At the same time, he posted an advertisement outside: "Occasionally selling Level One to Level Five Soul Tools. Custom orders for Level Four and Five Soul Tools are supported, limited to ten people per month."

The street was crowded. Seeing activity at [Orchid Fragrance Pavilion], many people couldn't help but come to watch.

"Lin Zi Ge moved here? Good, I've been annoyed by that Orchid Fragrance Pavilion for a long time."

I heard Chen Fu didn't get into the inner sect. Those stunned factions realized it too late and tried to recruit him, but missed their chance.

"Master Chen's skills have improved. He's finally willing to offer Level Four and Five Soul Tools."

Passersby chattered amongst themselves. Those with needs went to ask Uncle Fu about the specific opening hours.

Before long, Chen Fu looked at the dense list of custom order requests in his hand and felt a headache coming on. Did they really think he was a Wish Machine?

"Young Master, someone from Nine Treasures City is here," Uncle Fu came to inform him. There were some people he could refuse, but he couldn't afford to offend this material supplier.

"Mm, alright. Let's see if he also wants to make a wish. Oh, and tell those who requested custom orders to pick them up on time next month."

Chen Fu rubbed his temples. He did have quite a bit of interaction with Nine Treasures City, but it was all normal commercial cooperation.

"Smart technology should be put on the agenda. Basic programming can be achieved for now, but how can we implement the Soul Spirit Technology that creates shortcuts?"
