[Under the leadership of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the Four-Eyed Eagle Flender, and Zhao Wuji, the ragtag Shrek Academy finally got its official start. But a ragtag team is just a ragtag team; located in a remote area with scarce funds, it couldn't provide a better mimicry cultivation environment for the Shrek Seven Devils. Such an academy simply couldn't continue operating. Thus, the three of them led Shrek Academy to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, guided by Qin Ming, a former graduate of Shrek Academy.]
[Unfortunately, while there, the Shrek group offended the fourth prince of Heaven Dou, Xue Beng, and were forced to leave in disgrace. Just as they were at their wits' end, Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, took the initiative to merge with Shrek Academy, finally giving the destitute Shrek the appearance of a proper academy.]
[Of course, this also involved the love-hate entanglement between Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.]
Ao Yao paused, feeling inexplicably amused.
[As the illegitimate daughter of Yu Xiaogang's father's younger brother, Liu Erlong's Spirit is a Fire Dragon mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, who calls himself a Grandmaster with a profound understanding of Spirits and Spirit Masters, didn't even know how Liu Erlong's Spirit had mutated. The two of them started a forbidden romance between cousins just like that—it's beyond ridiculous, right?]
[Liu Erlong is also brain-dead. By then, Yu Xiaogang had already been kicked out of Spirit City, he wasn't young anymore, his spirit power was so weak he hadn't even broken through level thirty, his strength was pathetic, and his Spirit was just that farting Luo San Pao. Yet, Liu Erlong actually took a liking to him? I really wonder if Liu Erlong lacked eyes or a brain.]
[But perhaps Yu Xiaogang really does have some extraordinary quality, to be able to make both the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall—the future Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong—and Liu Erlong fall in love with him.]
[Fine, I'd rather believe that Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong are both idiots than believe that Yu Xiaogang actually has some unique charm.]
Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt a sense of balance in her heart.
Although her ancestor Ma Hongjun and her teacher Yan Shaozhe had just been disparaged in various ways, it was still far less intense than the degree to which Ao Yao was belittling Yu Xiaogang.
But... was this ancestor Yu Xiaogang, who left a statue in Shrek Academy, really such a piece of trash?
Wasn't it said that many of Shrek Academy's teaching philosophies were left behind by this Grandmaster from ten thousand years ago?
As for Tang Ya on the other side, her mood was much calmer than she had imagined.
Although this ancestor Yu Xiaogang was Bei Bei's forebear, Tang Ya had already broken up with Bei Bei. So, she didn't have any particular reaction when seeing these things; instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
[Let's get back to Shrek... The original Shrek Seven Devils weren't actually as outstanding as one might imagine. Following a normal development path, let alone standing before Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, they probably wouldn't even have been able to beat the Elemental Academies.]
[Tianshui Academy, Blazing Academy, and Kamikaze Academy—these three academies could likely have given Shrek Academy a thorough beating. If nothing unexpected happened, a fortuitous encounter was about to arrive. Poison Douluo abducted Tang San, which instead led Tang San to accidentally discover the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the three great treasure basins of the human World.]
[In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, achieving a Physique immune to both water and fire as well as all poisons. He also strengthened his external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances. It was precisely by relying on the effects of these two Immortal Herbs that Tang San was able to obtain a ten-thousand-year fourth ring and gain the upper hand in clashes with Blazing Academy and Tianshui Academy. Besides that, Tang San also consumed the Gaze of the Autumn Dew, which focuses on Spirit and the Purple Demon Eye, helping him break through to the Mustard Seed Realm.]
[Dai Mubai obtained the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum, an Immortal Herb exclusive to attack system Beast Spirit Masters. His spirit power increased significantly while his body was tempered into an invulnerable Vajra form.]
[Oscar consumed the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, which cleared the Impurities from his body and solved the problem of slow spirit power progression for food system Spirit Masters, resulting in a significant increase in his spirit power.]
[Ning Rongrong obtained the qi luo tulip, a Supreme Immortal Herb for the support system. Not only did her spirit power increase greatly, but her Spirit also evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]
[Ma Hongjun obtained the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a fire-attribute immortal grade herb that helped him completely purify the Evil Fire and root out the hidden dangers of his Spirit. Ma Hongjun's Spirit also evolved from the Evil Fire Phoenix into the Fire Phoenix.]
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao stood up abruptly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She had dreamed of finding a way to completely resolve her Evil Fire, and now, she finally knew what that method was!
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower... inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
These key words kept echoing in Ma Xiaotao's mind, but soon, she lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.
Setting aside whether she could find that so-called treasure basin, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, even if she did, there might not still be another identical Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower inside.
So, knowing this method seemed no different from not knowing it at all.
It did nothing more than give her a glimmer of hope.
To be honest, counting on Ao Yao to use his own Spirit or the rewards from the diary book was much more reliable than trying to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower within it.
Ning Tian, who was currently grooming herself, rolled her eyes, feeling indifferent toward the so-called qi luo tulip.
If it weren't for Ao Yao and the rewards from the diary book, Ning Tian might have been ecstatic upon learning this information and spent her entire life searching for this Immortal Herb.
But now...
This qi luo tulip can't even compare to a single hair on Ao Yao's head!
As long as she became Ao Yao's partner, would she still need to search the whole World for the qi luo tulip?
Ancestor Ning Rongrong, your method of evolving your Spirit is already outdated!
[As for Zhu Zhuqing... Tang San did prepare the Yearning Heartbroken Red for her, which was very suitable. This flower can only be picked by someone of absolute devotion and sincerity, by nourishing it with their heart's blood. Unfortunately, when Zhu Zhuqing was trying to pick the flower, the only image that flashed through her mind was of Dai Mubai going out to have fun with twins. She failed to pick it and had to settle for the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, which wasn't the most compatible choice.]
[Yu Xiaogang also made an attempt. This Yearning Heartbroken Red might have allowed his Spirit to evolve again, so he wouldn't remain a waste who only used the Luo San Pao Spirit to fart. Unfortunately, his mind was also too cluttered, and he failed to pick it. In the end, it fell into the hands of Xiao Wu.]
[It's worth mentioning that in unrivaled tang sect, the one who plucked the Yearning Heartbroken Red was Huo Yuhao. To save Wang Donger, Huo Yuhao drank the water of the Blazing Yang Spring and dripped his heart's blood onto the flower, successfully plucking the Yearning Heartbroken Red. He ended up with severely damaged internal organs and was left in a near-death coma.]
