Chapter 62 Shrek Academy's Reaction
Early this morning, before Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao even reached the classroom door, they saw a voluptuous, red-haired woman waiting there.
"Excuse me, senior, is there anything I can help you with?" Huo Yutong recognized her as Ma Xiaotao, the senior with the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.
"I'm looking for Huo Yutong."
"That's me."
"I'm sorry!" Ma Xiaotao immediately bowed solemnly to Huo Yutong: "Junior Sister Huo Yutong, thank you again for saving my life."
Also, on behalf of the teacher, I apologize to you for recklessly dragging you into danger back then.
Although she was controlled by the evil fire and her consciousness was blurred that day in the secret room, she was able to piece together the thrilling events from her teacher's remorseful account and the scattered words of others. A second-ring Great Soul Master was semi-forcibly taken to face an out-of-control Soul Emperor. The risks involved were unimaginable.
If Huo Yutong hadn't possessed the ultimate ice and hadn't been blessed with great fortune, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Seeing this, Huo Yutong quickly stepped aside to avoid Ma Xiaotao's deep bow, saying, "Senior Ma Xiaotao, you're too kind. The situation was urgent at the time, and I can understand your teacher's feelings."
Besides, I'm happy that I was ultimately able to help my senior.
"Alright, let's talk about it after class. Class has already started," Zhou Yi said, who had been there for a while.
They blocked the classroom doorway, and many students watched from the hallway.
"I'll take my leave now." Ma Xiaotao blushed and ran away as fast as she could.
……
Shrek Academy's higher-ups also reacted to the Spirit Pagoda's actions.
The atmosphere inside the Sea God Pavilion was somber.
A hastily convened meeting is underway, with the core issue being the suddenly appearing mysterious organization—the Spirit Pagoda.
Yan Shaozhe spoke first with a serious expression: "Everyone, the appearance of this Spirit Pagoda is too strange."
The two women, Huo Biling and Huo Ziyan, possessed unfathomable strength and mysterious backgrounds.
They can readily produce rare elixirs and promise to provide a massive amount of soul bones and rare minerals. Such generosity is something that ordinary hidden sects cannot possess.
What exactly is their purpose? We must be wary.
His concerns were not unfounded. The presence of an uncontrolled power with vast resources adjacent to the academy did indeed introduce uncertainty.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Qian Duoduo, who had just finished discussing cooperation with Huo Biling and Huo Ziyan a few days earlier, immediately stood up and retorted excitedly:
"Dean Yan, you are mistaken!"
What aspects of what the Spirit Pagoda is currently doing are detrimental to the academy or the mainland?
They not only saved Ma Xiaotao, a genius student from the inner court, but their cooperation with the Tang Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Xiao family was also aboveboard!
More importantly, the rare metals they promised to provide are key to overcoming the bottleneck in the development of my Soul Guidance System and even enhancing the overall strength of Shrek Academy!
He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, glancing at Elder Xuan and the other senior elders seated at the head of the table:
"Elders, our Soul Guidance Department has long suffered from a shortage of materials!"
If we can consistently obtain rare metals such as Star Silver Marrow, I am confident that within ten years, the overall level of Shrek Academy's soul tools will catch up with or even surpass that of the Sun Moon Empire!
Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime; how can we let a minor setback deter us from our efforts?
Xian Lin'er also spoke up in support, saying, "What Duo Duo said makes sense. The Spirit Pagoda has shown great sincerity."
Their choice to use the Tang Sect and Huo Yutong, a student of their own academy, as a link, rather than directly using their power to intimidate others, demonstrates their friendly attitude.
I believe that the college should adopt a proactive and cautious approach to cooperation, rather than outright rejection.
No sooner had the two heads of the Soul Guidance Department finished speaking than a voice filled with barely suppressed excitement rang out—it was Li Ren, the Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion.
He stood up, his face still bearing the shock and joy he felt not long ago when he examined the elixirs:
"Elder Xuan, esteemed elders! Please allow me to say a few words as well!"
Li Ren's voice rose slightly with urgency, "I understand Dean Yan's concerns."
But for my Medicine Pavilion, we may have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He looked around at everyone, his tone becoming extremely solemn: "Just a few days ago, Huo Biling delivered a batch of pills she had refined to my medicine pavilion."
Among them were not only top-quality Body Tempering Pills and Soul Ascension Pills, but also... and even a "Mysterious Ice Pill" made primarily from "Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow"!
When the Xuanbing Pill was mentioned, Li Ren's breathing quickened: "The extreme ice energy and boundless vitality contained in that pill are the most I have ever seen in my life!"
Not only is it a treasure for ice-attribute soul masters, but based on my preliminary assessment, its pure and righteous chill is very likely to have a miraculous effect on suppressing the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body!
What this means, you should all understand!
He took a deep breath and continued, "The alchemy tradition and medicinal resources behind the ability to produce such pills so readily are unfathomable!"
If my Medicine Pavilion can establish a cooperation with the Spirit Transmission Tower and obtain a stable channel for supplying rare medicinal materials such as Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, or directly acquire some finished pills... then the overall pill supply level of Shrek Academy, its ability to treat specific injuries and intractable diseases, and even its effect on assisting students' cultivation will be improved in an unimaginable way!
This is crucial to the foundation of the academy! Our Medicine Pavilion firmly supports cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda!
Li Ren's remarks, which combined personal experience with professional judgment, were highly persuasive.
Inside the meeting room, voices supporting cooperation clearly prevailed.
Some senior scholars agree with Yan Shaozhe, believing that vigilance is necessary;
However, many more people were moved by Qian Duoduo's description of the future of the Soul Guidance System and Li Ren's confirmation of the value of the elixirs, believing that the opportunities far outweighed the risks.
In the end, everyone's attention turned to Mu En, who was sitting in the main seat with his eyes half-closed, and Xuan Zi, who was eating chicken legs next to him.
Xuanzi said, "What's all the commotion? They haven't come knocking on our door, and they're even offering us benefits. Why are you scaring yourselves?"
After things calm down.
Mu En said, "Huo Yutong's talent and temperament are both top-notch. As for the Spirit Pagoda... contact and cooperation are possible, but rules must be established."
Cooperation within the Soul Guidance System can be vigorously promoted, but core secrets must be strictly controlled.
At the same time, the Martial Soul Department should also send people to follow up and gain a deeper understanding of this organization.
Moon made the final decision, setting the tone for Shrek Academy's strategy: maintain vigilance, expand cooperation to a limited extent, and while reaping benefits, gradually uncover the secrets of the Spirit Pagoda.
Soon, the academy's decision was put into action. On one hand, the cooperation between the Soul Guidance Department, the Medicine Pavilion, and the Spirit Pagoda was accelerated in full swing. Qian Duoduo, Li Ren, and others were authorized to be in charge of the liaison, and the first batch of materials and demand lists for the exchange were quickly prepared.
On the other hand, Yan Shaozhe had just assigned capable teachers to begin contacting the Spirit Pagoda under the pretext of "ensuring the smooth progress of cooperation" and "paying attention to the growth of student Huo Yutong".
Then Moon stopped them, saying there was no need to test each other; if they were going to cooperate, they should respect each other.
