Refining the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, Han Ruoruo: "Little Rice, Peanut!" (Please vote and keep reading)

Only when night fell did Mu En come to the dormitory in person. He took out two porcelain bottles and instructed him, "These two bottles contain the Profound Water Pill and the Black Tortoise Divine Pill. Take the Black Tortoise Divine Pill first, and I'll help you refine it. Once it's fully refined, I'll personally take you to Star Dou to obtain a Soul Ring."

"As for the Profound Water Pill, swallow it after you've obtained your Soul Ring. It can increase your Soul Power."

Hearing this, Yu Daoyun's body trembled violently as he stared at the two porcelain bottles in his hands in disbelief.

The first was actually the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, a priceless treasure and the Profound Nether Sect's sect-protecting pill. The second was the Profound Water Pill.

Mu En really did treat him like one of his own. He was even giving him such precious things.

The Black Tortoise Divine Pill, after all, was something Jiang Nannan had only gotten by putting herself on the line, while he had obtained one by relying on his ancestor.

Coming to Shrek really had been the right choice. They actually gave you resources.

Of course, that was only true of the Inner Court.

Thinking of this, Yu Daoyun asked cautiously, "Ancestor, can I really refine this Black Tortoise Divine Pill? Could it be dangerous?"

Mu En smiled faintly. "Child, the Black Tortoise Divine Pill is a mild medicinal pill, a treasure of water-attribute sects. Even an ordinary person can refine it. Though you're only six, you can still refine it."

"Don't forget, I'll help you refine it, so you can rest easy."

"After taking this pill, you'll be able to absorb a thousand-year First Soul Ring. Your internal organs will undergo changes, and your Martial Soul will grow stronger. In the future, you might even have a chance to reach another realm."

Yu Daoyun felt much more at ease. Then he asked, "Does Big Brother Beibei have one too?"

"This..."

Mu En fell silent at the younger generation's question, unsure how to answer.

The Black Tortoise Divine Pill had been personally gifted to him by the Profound Nether Sect's master when he had just become Sea God Pavilion Master.

Something this precious naturally couldn't be given to Beibei.

The reason was simple: Beibei's Martial Soul wasn't pure. Even though Mu En was the Profound Ancestor, he still had his own selfish motives.

Everything he did was for Shrek, not his family.

With no other choice, Mu En lied and said Beibei had access to the same sort of resources for cultivation, deceiving the six-year-old.

Only then did Yu Daoyun feel at ease taking the Black Tortoise Divine Pill.

When the divine pill entered his body, he first felt a cool warmth. Then he realized that it had dissolved in an instant, its mild medicinal power coursing through his limbs and bones, opening every pore on his body.

Although the pill's effects were gentle, Yu Daoyun was only six years old. Even with his Golden Dragon Martial Soul, he couldn't help grimacing in pain.

The power was too surging; his body couldn't accept it so quickly.

Seeing this, Mu En decisively used his Soul Power to steady Yu Daoyun's mind and guide the medicinal power through his meridians, fully strengthening his body.

This child was his hope. He absolutely couldn't let anything happen to him.

If such a genius were to perish in his hands, Mu En thought he wouldn't be able to live out his remaining years in peace.

Before long, Yu Daoyun's expression gradually settled, and black liquid began seeping from his pores.

Mu En breathed a sigh of relief and continued regulating Yu Daoyun's meridians.

Two days later.

Yu Daoyun had completely refined the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, and his whole body had changed dramatically. He had grown considerably taller, and even his Soul Power had increased.

However, he hadn't obtained a Soul Ring yet, so he had no way of sensing just how much his Soul Power had increased.

Still, there was no denying it: the Black Tortoise Divine Pill was truly a treasure.

But with it came a foul stench from his body—the impurities his body had expelled.

Mu En stood and said, "All right, jump into the lake and wash yourself. I'll go change clothes, and then we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your Soul Ring."

Yu Daoyun bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Ancestor."

Whatever Mu En's motives, he had at least given him the resources directly.

His gratitude came from the heart.

Then Yu Daoyun opened the dormitory door and leaped into the Inner Court's lake to bathe, washing away the black grime covering his body before setting off to obtain his Soul Ring.

With no Xuan Zi leading the team, the chance of anything going wrong was zero. He could relax and take a nap floating on his back in the water.

Just then.

A group of people flew across the Inner Court's sky. They were the Inner Court senior sisters, including Han Ruoruo, returning from a mission.

Several of the Inner Court senior sisters spotted Yu Daoyun drifting below.

Wu Ming cried out, "Sister Ruoruo, why is there someone floating in the lake? Could some Outer Court student have fallen in and drowned?"

Han Ruoruo was instantly alarmed.

This was serious! How had no one in such a huge Inner Court noticed? What if something really had happened?

So Han Ruoruo said, "Let's go pull him out and see if that junior still has a chance."

The women flew toward Yu Daoyun one after another.

Down in the lake, Yu Daoyun suddenly felt a gale sweep over him. He opened his eyes and saw several older sisters flying toward him, then grabbing him and hauling him up.

Han Ruoruo shouted anxiously, "Junior, are you still alive?"

Yu Daoyun choked on a mouthful of water. "I... I'm taking a bath. You..."

Then the women looked down and all let out shrieks, tossing Yu Daoyun back into the lake.

Poor Yu Daoyun choked on water again.

When he surfaced, he saw the women standing at the lakeside, glaring at him, their pretty faces flushed red.

Blushing, Yu Daoyun waddled to shore with his backside sticking out and got dressed. He grumbled inwardly, Why did you haul me out for no reason? I was bathing. And haven't you ever seen a Peanut before? You made me choke on water again.

In response to the junior's grumbling, Han Ruoruo and the others gritted their teeth.

This junior was really bold, coming to bathe in the artificial lake. They had thought someone was drowning and rushed to save him, only to have him blame them for it.

Wu Ming immediately said, "Little guy, are you a first-year student from the Outer Court? Why are you bathing in the artificial lake? Our academy explicitly forbids bathing in the lake."

Yu Daoyun shook his head. "I'm not from the Outer Court. I'm an Inner Court student."

Wu Ming put her hands on her hips and glared at him with almond-shaped eyes. "Junior, you'll be punished for lying. How old are you? There's no way you're an Inner Court student."

Han Ruoruo raised a hand to stop the fierce Wu Ming and said gently, "Ming'er, don't scare the junior."

She turned to Yu Daoyun and asked, "How about I take you back to the Outer Court? Don't come to the artificial lake again. You could get punished by an elder. The rules at Shrek are quite strict."

Yu Daoyun had no choice but to take the Inner Court token from his pocket and hand it to Han Ruoruo.

He had a good impression of this senior sister and thought she was a kind, understanding big sister.

Several female Inner Court students crowded around to take a look, stunned by the token.

Han Ruoruo covered her little mouth, her face filled with disbelief.

Six years old, and an Inner Court student.

Where had this genius come from? They'd never heard of him.

Just then, Zhang Lexuan happened to come out of Sea God Pavilion. Seeing Han Ruoruo and the others, she waved and called, "Ruoruo, you're back from your mission!"

Han Ruoruo turned around, her pretty face softening. "Sister Lexuan, there's something I'd like to ask you."

As she spoke, she handed the token to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan froze. After listening to Han Ruoruo explain what had happened, her expression turned animated, and she let out a cackling laugh.

Then she told her good friends about Yu Daoyun.

The women stood rooted to the spot, as motionless as stone statues.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Nine Great Dragon King Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, personally taught by Elder Mu...

All of these things had happened to a six-year-old child.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

They had just said Yu Daoyun was an Outer Court student, and now they'd been hit with a crushing reality check.

So there really was someone who had become an Inner Court student at Shrek at just six years old.
