Without too much fanfare, the three of us returned to Nuoding Academy with the help of Zhao Wuji flaring his aura at any spirit beast that came close to us. And the area of the Barak Kingdom we were in, was a calm area without anything like bandits and such.
'Speaking of bandits and evil soul masters. Spirit Hall... What should I do about Spirit Hall in the future when I get strong?' I mused to myself.
As even if Tang Wutong had all of the Tang Sect's secret methods. Those secret weapons weren't a threat to the likes of Bibbi Dong, Qian Doulou, and most of the rest of Title Douluo.
And if I wanted to rock Spirit Hall in anyway then I needed the strength of the Title Douluo. But likewise... To be fair, those Hidden Weapons were deadly to anyone below level fifty and even up to level seventy, even the lower leveled Hidden Weapons could hurt more powerful Spirit Masters.
But once people got to a certain level of strength. Those hidden weapons woudn't amount to much. AND most importantly, if Tang Wutong didn't get access to the Yin-Yang Well. She woudn't be even able to make the poisons that made such weapons so deadly to begin with!
'Yeah... Jade Hands, and the Mysterious Record doesn't amount to much compared to my Flame Body which is both a body refining and cultivation method similiar to the Flame Mantra from Battle Continent.' I mused as Yu Xiaogang all but strutted ahead of me.
But then he paused and looked before saying quietly. "Tian Long, you need to be careful of outsiders now especially. Many will be quite... Anxious, and may try to hurt you if they see your talent now."
I nodded in understanding before I spoke quietly. "I understand Grandmaster but... Uhm, how can I get money to get the herbs and natural treasures to do real Alchemy?"
But then a gruff voice rang out as a heavy hand landed on my shoulder. "I will give you a good amount of gold coins Tian Long. I need a favor from you first though. Privately though." Zhao Wuji said from behind me with a hard tone at seeing Xiaogang frown clearly.
But after a moment of though Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said easily. "Go ahead and take him Wuji, I plan to bring him to Shrek in a few years anyway."
Zhao Wuji grunted in agreement and I just helplessly shrugged as honestly. My grandmaster was fucking broke. He didn't even have a spare spatial storage device to give me as a gift of his mentorship like he gave to Tang Wutong.
So the muscular short king quickly pulled me aside into a side building in Nuoding Academy and I moved over to a seat as he locked the door and dragged the empty teachers chair over to the desk I had taken.
Then Zhao Wuji dropped into the chair with a heavy sigh. And there was a moment of silence as he just... Looked at me before he dragged a rugged scar covered hand across his face.
"Alright boy... I am going to be blunt as this is awkward as all hell talking about this with damned six year old even if you are some kind of medical genius somehow."
He took a deep breath and then in a dull voice he spoke. "Back at Shrek Academy there is a disciple we basically adopted. She has the Evil Pheonix, and she is being tormented by the Evil Fire that comes from her martial soul as she grows in power!"
My lips twitched at his explanation as I fucking realized what my sponsor had done besides just replacing Tang San with Tang Wutong. He also clearly replaced Ma Hongjun the little fat bastard who whored around his entire younger years before he cleaned up his act later in the series.
But that left me with a couple thoughts and what could be done as not only did I have my alchemy knowledge on how to fix such issues. But there was also the solutions inherent to this world obviously.
"Uhm, how old is she?" I asked curiously with Zhao Wuji saying dully.
"She is eight years old."
Which made my face twitch at the bullshit logic of how Soul Master's matured bodily much quicker then normal humans due to the soul power enriching their bodies with gentle energy.
I took a deep breath and then I laid it out. "Well... There is several options. First, you find either the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower which will gently refine her flames and almost certainly make her Martial Soul evolve into the True Pheonix, Martial Soul."
"Or you can try to find the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Which although more powerful, it will just overwhelm the evil flames with pure flame power. It will be dangerous for her if she doesn't have other methods or just is already strong. But there is alchemical pills that can protect her if she takes it."
I took a deep breath and then I continued. "Otherwise, I could slowly refine herself within my Cauldron. I would refine the evil flames into pure yang flames with my own soul energy, and the pure solar yang flames I have from my Soul Ring."
"But in the meantime... You could get some ten thousand year ice, and allow her suck on it like a lolipop, it will help suppress her evil fire for now." I mused.
There was a silence as Zhao Wuji just stared at me. Then he silently just took out a scroll book, and began writing down what I said and asked some clarification points.
Then he asked rather bluntly. "Do you have any methods that could work right now? That I could bring to her when I leave?"
To which I hummed and said thoughtfully. "Hmm, then yes. Give me the money and I will go buy some herbs and such to make a couple bottles of pills that will wear at her Evil Fire."
Calling it Evil Fire... Grated at me, it was overly lust tainted yang energy but still it was easily suppressed via alchemy using matching Yin themed pills and such.
It just took the materials in which I most certainly didn't have on hand. As Yu Xiaogang was fucking broke.
"Alright then... I told old Flender I would be gone for a week, so I still got a good few days." He grumbled and went to hand me a bag filled with clinking coins.
Then as the bag entered my hands... He paused and then said flatly. "Ah, you had better be careful of your master. He is also the type to 'hold onto your money' for your own good obviously."
My lips twitched and I said helplessly. "I can only hope the Grandmaster isn't so shameless."
