Feeding Time Classroom is Now Open!

Mu Guiyun shook his head slightly, though with Mu En's cultivation and spiritual power, he figured all of this had likely been discovered long ago.

"This..."

Hearing these words, Xuan Zi's expression instantly turned somewhat embarrassed. He looked at the drumstick he had been craving in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to put it down.

"No, no, without Elder Mu's permission, I cannot eat anything without authorization!"

Xuan Zi swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the impulse deep within his martial soul.

Mu Guiyun was not the least bit surprised by this; after all, in Xuan Zi's heart, Mu En was the most important person, and everything else, including Shrek Academy, had to take a backseat.

If he didn't know that Xuan Zi's orientation was normal, Mu Guiyun would have suspected that Xuan Zi was secretly in love with Mu En...

Seeing this, Mu Guiyun could only switch to his wheedling mode, coaxing him gently: "Elder Xuan, just eat it. With Teacher's cultivation, he would have discovered this long ago; he simply chose not to stop you."

"Is that really so?"

Xuan Zi swallowed again, but he still felt a bit uneasy.

Mu Guiyun nodded and spoke again: "Just eat it. I'll go find Teacher in a moment and ask him to let you out."

"This... then this old man won't stand on ceremony!"

Finally, under Mu Guiyun's coaxing, Xuan Zi could no longer hold back and immediately picked up the drumstick to feast.

Watching Xuan Zi transform into a bottomless pit, the corners of Mu Guiyun's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

Mother Jiang's condition was not an ordinary illness, but rather the result of lovesickness and years of overdrawing her soul power through labor.

Coupled with her naturally weak heart, the only way to cure her completely was to consume a Black Tortoise Divine Pill; even a healing-type Titled Douluo would be helpless.

However, the Black Tortoise Divine Pill was not something that circulated on the continent. To get his hands on one, he had to trade something precious.

And even then, he would still owe a favor.

Furthermore, the Xuanming Sect was not weak, possessing many Titled Douluo-level powerhouses within its ranks, which made Xuan Zi the best candidate in Mu Guiyun's mind to go to the Xuanming Sect and beg for the medicine.

Relying on the prestige of Shrek Academy, combined with Xuan Zi's level 98 cultivation, as long as they offered treasures of equal value, the Xuanming Sect would likely not refuse.

Now, some might ask: what if the Xuanming Sect was truly stubborn and refused?

That was the ultimate reason why Mu Guiyun chose Xuan Zi.

As for asking Mu En, Mu Guiyun hadn't even considered it.

In the hearts of the continent's soul masters, the Black and White Holy Dragons who once dominated the world had long since passed away.

Although Xuan Zi was unreliable in his actions and couldn't even catch the strongest Soul King, he possessed a trait that made Mu Guiyun feel incredibly at ease: loyalty, even to the point of blind devotion.

Besides, Xuan Zi only failed to catch the strongest Soul King; try sending a Titled Douluo against him and see what happens.

Giant Strength Douluo Cheng Gang was the best example.

"Elder Xuan, take your time eating. I'm going to ask Teacher to let you out now!"

After saying this, Mu Guiyun left the Meditation Room under Xuan Zi's grateful gaze.

Turning toward Mu En's door, before Mu Guiyun could even knock, Mu En's voice drifted out: "Come in."

"Teacher, your disciple is here."

Mu En was the same as ever, slumped in his wheelchair, looking frail and aged.

Feeling the soul power in Mu Guiyun's body showing faint signs of a breakthrough, Mu En smiled with gratification: "Are you here for Xuan Zi?"

Mu Guiyun nodded. He didn't even plan to hide the matter regarding Jiang Nannan and spoke directly: "I would like to ask Elder Xuan to go to the Xuanming Sect to trade for a Black Tortoise Divine Pill."

Black Tortoise Divine Pill?

Mu En was intimately familiar with this divine medicine; back when he was severely injured and paralyzed, he had even consumed one, though it had no effect.

"Tell me, what scheme are you cooking up in that head of yours again?"

"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Teacher."

Mu Guiyun chuckled and poured out all the thoughts in his mind.

Upon learning of Mu Guiyun's intentions, Mu En smiled with gratification and teased: "You aren't eyeing that young girl, are you?"

"How could that be? Everything I do is for the sake of the academy!"

Mu Guiyun looked full of integrity, even though he was secretly craving Jiang Nannan's perfectly proportioned long legs.

"Fine, fine, it's all for the academy."

Mu En shook his head with a smile, then took a jade box from his Soul Tool and said: "The value of this item is enough to trade for a Black Tortoise Divine Pill. Go."

Taking the jade box, Mu Guiyun opened it, and his pupils constricted at the sight of the contents.

A sky-blue bone lay quietly inside.

15,000-Year Black Tortoise Torso Bone!

"Teacher, this is too precious! I can't take it!"

Mu Guiyun refused without a second thought. If this soul bone could be taken from Mu En's own Soul Tool, it meant it was his private property.

"Accept it. Besides, it won't be long before this soul bone belongs to you anyway."

Seeing Mu Guiyun refuse, Mu En could not help but smile candidly, then pushed the spirit bone back toward him.

"This... Teacher, thank you."

Mu Guiyun nodded firmly and, under Mu En's gaze, stored the spirit bone into his Soul Tool.

Seeing Mu Guiyun accept the spirit bone, Mu En spoke again, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Child, you must remember that blind devotion sometimes fails to yield a reward and can even prove counterproductive."

"However, this old man believes you can strike the right balance, but..."

But what?

A flash of confusion crossed Mu Guiyun's eyes. He looked up, only to see Mu En beckoning him over with a mysterious expression.

Several months flashed by in the blink of an eye.

Over these past few months, aside from his cultivation, Mu Guiyun had spent almost all his time in the Soul Tool Laboratory. Naturally, he would occasionally discuss the integration processes of Soul Tools with Xian Lin'er.

The change in Xian Lin'er was even more apparent; from her initial resistance to her gradual acceptance, she had now become the one to take the initiative, sometimes even agreeing to some of Mu Guiyun's strange little requests.

At this moment, inside Research Room No. 4 of the Spirit Tool Department, Xian Lin'er, who was researching Soul Tool integration methods with Mu Guiyun, felt her pretty face flush with panic as she heard footsteps drawing closer from outside.

"So... someone is coming!"

No sooner had she spoken than the laboratory bell rang softly.

"Mm~ wait... wait a moment!"

Scrambling to tidy her slightly disheveled clothes, Xian Lin'er panted, casting a charming, coquettish glare at Mu Guiyun, who was standing to the side pretending that nothing had happened.

After finishing, she pressed the button on the desk.

Looking at the person approaching, Xian Lin'er could not help but smile gently and ask, "Oh, it's Hua Ying. Is something the matter?"

Upon hearing this, the female student known as Hua Ying shyly glanced at Mu Guiyun before saying with a reddened face, "Dean Xian, hello. This is my Soul Tool assignment; please take a look."

After placing the soul tool array in her hand on the table, Hua Ying was just about to turn and leave when she suddenly caught a strange scent.

"Very well, I understand. Just leave it here for now."
