Zhang Lexuan had not only refused to absorb this spirit bone, but had instead entrusted Mu En to hand it over to him!

Seeing Mu Guiyun frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time, Mu En could not help but chuckle.

In truth, in his heart, he had hoped that Zhang Lexuan would be the one to absorb this torso bone. Aside from the fact that the spirit bone's attributes were ill-suited for Mu Guiyun, a spirit bone and spirit ring derived from the same spirit beast could only unleash their maximum potential when absorbed by the same spirit master.

Moreover, Mu En firmly believed that his closing disciple would surely make the right choice.

"Teacher, it is better to let the Senior Sister absorb this spirit bone herself."

After a long while, Mu Guiyun handed the spirit bone back to Mu En, his eyes devoid of even a shred of greed.

Mainly, he just didn't think much of it. With the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm already in his grasp, could the Ice Empress be far behind?

Compared to that 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Empress Scorpion torso bone, this spirit bone was crushed into dust in terms of attributes, age, and quality.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Mu En couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I won't meddle in you young people's affairs. If you truly want Lexuan to absorb it, then hand it to her yourself."

Seeing that Mu En had no intention of taking it back, Mu Guiyun could only nod and simply store it away in his Soul Tool.

"Guiyun, how do you feel about Zhang Lexuan?"

How did he feel about the Senior Sister?

Mu En's question caught Mu Guiyun off guard. Though he didn't know what this old man was plotting, he answered truthfully: "Disciple thinks she is quite good. Not only is the Senior Sister gentle and tactful, but she is also intelligent, beautiful, and possesses astonishing talent."

"I didn't expect Lexuan to be held in such high regard in your heart."

A flash of surprise crossed Mu En's eyes. As his teacher, he knew Mu Guiyun's character better than anyone.

Thinking of this, Mu En straightened his expression and said with a serious tone: "If one day in the future, two women fall in love with you at the same time, but no matter which one you choose, you will deeply hurt the other, Guiyun, how would you decide?"

Hearing this, Mu Guiyun's brows furrowed.

A choice? Did he really have to choose? If they both said they loved him, then surely he should have them both!

Adhering to the twelve-character mantra—don't let the bad women go, don't miss the good womenMu Guiyun gave his answer: "I won't choose. I want them all!"

Such an unconventional answer made Mu En raise an eyebrow, and he couldn't help but tease: "Oh? Are you not afraid that they might quarrel and eventually leave you?"

Quarrel? Leave him? What a joke!

Mu Guiyun was unimpressed.

As the saying goes, life and death are fated, and wealth is in the hands of the heavens! Fortune favors the bold!

How could such a minor setback hinder the path of Mu Guiyun?

If they were capable of quarreling, it only meant he wasn't training them fast enough or hard enough!

As long as he was fast, ruthless, and vigorous, he guaranteed he could train them until they were completely submissive. At that point, let alone two, even twenty would be a piece of cake!

However, he couldn't say these things to Mu En. Mu Guiyun could only offer a mysterious smile and answer with full confidence: "Rest assured, Teacher, I have my own clever methods!"

Having been influenced by so much in his past life, just pulling out a couple of tricks would be enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

"Since you say so, this old man can rest easy."

Seeing the confidence written all over Mu Guiyun's face, Mu En felt a temporary sense of relief. He certainly didn't want Mu Guiyun to follow in the footsteps of himself and Yan Shaozhe.

Thinking of this, Mu En reached into his robes and tremblingly pulled out a small booklet, his tone filled with emotion: "This is my life's work. Even Yan Shaozhe and the others have never been taught a single bit of it."

"From today on, it belongs to you!"

Looking at the small booklet that had clearly been eroded by the passage of time, Mu Guiyun's face lit up with joy.

The life's work of the Dragon God Douluo—its value went without saying!

"Teacher, isn't this too precious?"

"Precious? Then this old man shall keep it for you for a few more years."

As soon as Mu En finished speaking, he made a move to tuck the booklet back away. Fortunately, Mu Guiyun was quick-witted and reached out to snatch it back.

"No, no, no!"

I was just being polite, why did you take it seriously?

Seeing the booklet tucked into Mu Guiyun's Soul Tool, Mu En's aged face was filled with deep reluctance. He then warned him with a serious tone: "Guiyun, if one day this booklet accidentally falls into someone else's hands, you must remember: never say it was given to you by me. Never!"

Mu Guiyun, who had been full of joy, froze in place, unable to understand the meaning behind Mu En's words.

Shouldn't you be saying, "This is my life's blood, you must keep it safe and never let it fall into the hands of others"?

What does "don't let others know it's yours" mean?

Though Mu Guiyun was completely confused, seeing Mu En's serious expression, he nodded obediently.

Seeing Mu Guiyun agree, Mu En finally set his heart at ease.

Hmm, he is a teachable child.

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er were busy running around the Spirit Department, and Ma Xiaotao was deep in meditation within her secret chamber. Upon returning home, the solitary Mu Guiyun didn't say a word, rushed into his room, locked the door, and finally took out Mu En's life's work once again.

I must see what kind of good stuff this is!

Mu Guiyun suppressed the surging excitement in his heart and then tremblingly opened the first page.

Daily Cultivation:

Five hundred squats to promote full-body blood circulation and increase the explosive power of the waist and legs.

Massage the waist for one hour to promote blood circulation in the lumbar region, warming the kidneys and strengthening the waist.

Recipe for the Ten-Complete Great Tonic Pill: Melt Whale Rubber at high temperature, grind Dragon Joy Grass into powder, and combine with Forget-Love Fruit, goji berries...

Hm? Hm... Hm!!!!

The more Mu Guiyun read, the more wrong it felt. Was he certain this was the life's work of Dragon God Douluo Mu En? Was it not some sort of "how-to-satisfy" trick?

"Oh, you... I'm super pissed!"

"You damn well gave me a secret manual, give me something good! Damn it!"

Mu Guiyun threw the so-called "secret manual" onto the ground in a fit of rage, not forgetting to stomp on it twice for good measure.

Is this the life's work of a dignified Limit Douluo? Bah, despicable!

Who does he, Mu Guiyun, think he is? Would he ever lower himself to look at such things? He is a man of culture!

Staring at the little booklet on the ground, Mu Guiyun, for some unknown reason, found his hand reaching out for it again as if possessed.

But then again!

As an outstanding youth who grew up under the red flag in his past life, Mu Guiyun decided to examine this behavior with a critical mindset!

"I want to see what other bizarre things you have in here!"

When a person wanders in the ocean of knowledge, they often subconsciously lose track of time.

By now, the sky outside had already turned dark.

Wrapping the little booklet tightly in silk cloth and carefully placing it into his Soul Tool, Mu Guiyun couldn't help but exclaim: "As expected of the Well-Fed Douluo, he really does have some substance!"

After an afternoon of study, Mu Guiyun could clearly perceive that his brain had gained quite a few new positions.
