Shop away, teacher pays

Leng Yaozhu glanced at Bai Yushan in surprise.

His sunglasses slipped down slightly, revealing his phoenix eyes, which held a hint of surprise.

It seems to be saying, "I didn't expect you to actually have any brains."

She thought this kid was only good at fighting and causing trouble.

Leng Yaozhu adjusted her sunglasses and didn't continue the conversation.

It's best to keep the two children away from discussions involving political matters.

The water is very deep.

"Let's go, get in the car first."

Leng Yaozhu waved and walked towards the roadside first.

A black, extended Soul Guidance vehicle was parked by the roadside, its side bearing the Spirit Pagoda's exclusive silver emblem, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The driver was already standing by the car waiting. When he saw Leng Yaozhu coming over, he quickly opened the back door.

Leng Yaozhu bent down and sat inside.

Bai Yushan and Gu Yue exchanged a glance and then sat down inside.

The interior of the carriage was very spacious, with genuine leather seats, a small bar, and even a small cultivation array pattern engraved on the floor.

Closing the car door instantly shuts out the noise outside.

It was so smooth that you could barely feel any vibration.

The car slowly started moving and merged into the traffic.

Cars on the street instinctively swerve to the side when they see the Spirit Pagoda emblem on their vehicles.

It's impressive.

The car was driving on the main road of Shrek City.

The buildings along the way became taller and more prosperous.

Suddenly, Bai Yushan's gaze was drawn to a building in the distance.

To be precise, it's a tower.

The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, also known as the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.

Located in the very heart of Shrek City, it was the tallest building in the entire Douluo Continent at the time.

Federation legislation explicitly states that no other building in Shrek City may exceed its height.

The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters has been repaired and expanded over the generations. It has a total of eighty-one floors, an octagonal tower structure, and a silvery sheen. It is a giant tower building and is known as the most magnificent building on the Douluo Continent.

The tower has eight sides and an extremely wide base that occupies an entire city block. The tower gradually tapers inward from bottom to top, layer by layer, until it converges at the spire at the top.

From a distance, the tower stands majestically, its upper half perpetually shrouded in mist, its top invisible. The silver tower body gleams slowly in the sunlight, exuding grandeur and solemnity. Amidst the cluster of buildings of varying heights in Shrek City, it stands out like a giant sword piercing the sky.

Even from several streets away, you could feel the oppressive aura emanating from them.

That's the smell of power, the smell of status.

Gu Yue also looked out the window at the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, her silver-purple eyes filled with awe.

She had only ever seen pictures of them in textbooks before.

You only truly understand what magnificence means when you see it with your own eyes.

Compared to it, the Spirit Pagoda branch in Eastsea City is practically a small hill.

Bai Yushan leaned back in his seat, glanced at it, and then looked away.

His eyes showed no emotion.

It's just a tower.

Once his Magnetic Field Rotation reaches its full potential, he will be able to build something even taller than this with his bare hands.

There's nothing surprising about that.

Leng Yaozhu observed their reactions.

Gu Yue's shock was within her expectations.

Bai Yushan's unassuming demeanor made her think more highly of him.

This kid's seen the world, hasn't he?

Or are they just born fearless?

It's probably the latter.

Leng Yaozhu didn't ask any further questions.

The car turned a corner, leaving the main road and turning onto a quiet side road.

The roadside trees on both sides are getting denser and the environment is becoming quieter.

There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally you could see a few people wearing the Spirit Pagoda uniforms walking by.

This is the neat cluster of courtyards next to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

It was a property in Shrek City that the Spirit Pagoda purchased at a high price.

It is specifically intended for employees who have made contributions to the Spirit Pagoda, and for high-rise residential buildings.

Security is extremely high; unauthorized personnel cannot enter at all.

As the deputy tower master, Leng Yaozhu naturally resided in one of the most luxurious villas.

The car stopped in front of a detached villa.

The wrought iron gate opened automatically.

The car slowly drove in and stopped in the driveway in front of the villa.

The driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door.

Leng Yaozhu got out of the car first and walked up the steps.

Bai Yushan and Gu Yue followed behind.

The villa is small, three stories high, with a small yard, a few ancient trees, and a small lawn.

It looks unassuming, yet it exudes sophistication in every detail.

The cracks in the bricks and the railings faintly emanated fluctuations of Soul Power.

Clearly, the entire villa was equipped with a defensive soul-guided array.

Leng Yaozhu took out her key and pushed open the door.

"Come in."

She went in first, casually took off her trench coat, and tossed it onto the coat rack in the entryway.

The interior decoration features a minimalist, cool color scheme, primarily black, white, and gray, with clean and crisp lines.

It's exactly the same style as her.

Leng Yaozhu turned around, looked at the two of them, and waved her hand generously.

"Choose a room yourself; there are three guest rooms upstairs, take your pick."

"Take a break, and tonight your teacher will take you to the auction to buy everything you need!"

"Consider this a celebration of your victory!"

Gu Yue stood in the entryway, looking around curiously.

She grew up in Eastsea City and had never seen such an exquisite villa before.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Bai Yushan was much more casual. He picked up his small backpack and headed upstairs.

I live in the innermost room.

He said it casually, and then strode upstairs.

Choose a room?

As long as it's a place to live, it's fine.

There's no need to be so particular.

Gu Yue glanced at his retreating figure and then chose a room in the middle.

The two went back to their respective rooms to put their things away.

Leng Yaozhu walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

She poured herself a glass of red wine, swirled it, and took a small sip.

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the ancient trees in the courtyard.

Actually, the reason I brought the two of them to Shrek City wasn't just to show them around or buy them things.

There are more important things to do.

Wu Changkong had contacted her before, saying he wanted the children in Class Zero to apply to the Shrek Academy.

Leng Yaozhu agreed on the spot.

It's a sure thing that Bai Yushan and Gu Yue, these two promising talents, will be admitted to Shrek.

As a teacher, she naturally had to pave the way for them.

This auction is just to broaden their horizons and, incidentally, to find some cultivation resources and Soul Tool suitable for them.

Once you join Shrek, your starting point will be higher.

When she entered Shrek Academy, she was almost selected as one of the Shrek Seven Devils – a true prodigy!

With such a monstrous disciple, surely those old fogies wouldn't be so ignorant as to not recognize his worth!

Leng Yaozhu thought to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Her two apprentices have a bright future ahead of them.

Not long after.

Bai Yushan came downstairs.

She changed into a clean, black outfit, her hair still slightly messy, looking very casual.

He walked over to the sofa and plopped down.

"Teacher, what auction?"

He asked casually.

"Official? Or private?"

"The Spirit Pagoda was established by itself."

Leng Yaozhu put down her wine glass. "This is an internal auction, open only to members of the Spirit Pagoda and partner organizations. There aren't many shady characters, and the items are reliable."

"There will be plenty of good stuff tonight. While the opening acts are only third and fourth-tier Soul Tool, century-old cultivation herbs, and rare Soul Beast Soul Bone, without exception, they all have a foundation-building and consolidation effect on low-level Soul Master. Some can even slightly improve the quality of their Martial Soul. These truly good things are hard to find outside."

"Of course! You two can choose whatever you like. Just tell me what you want, and the teacher will pay."

His tone was incredibly arrogant.

The deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda has nothing but plenty of money.

Spending a little money on your apprentice is nothing.

Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow.
