After being led by the Ling family's housekeeper to the suite specially prepared for distinguished guests by the Ling family, the old man in white and the red-haired girl sat down in the living room of the suite.
The old man in white looked at the tea prepared by the Ling family and was a little surprised, because it turned out to be tea leaves grown on the Frost Ice Tea tree.
The Frost Ice Tea Tree is a plant-type soul beast that only grows in a place called the Ice and Snow Forest in the inner circle of the Far North. It is also one of the very few soul beasts that can produce edible tea, and it does not have any powerful soul skills. Generally speaking, except for food-type soul masters, almost no soul masters would kill them to obtain soul rings.
Frost ice tea is a very valuable commodity, especially for ice attribute soul masters. It is an extremely effective supplementary food. At the same time, long-term drinking of frost ice tea can also calm the mind and reduce the probability of a soul master going crazy during practice.
Therefore, in the market, one or two frost ice tea leaves can be sold for hundreds of gold soul coins. The old man in white weighed it a little and knew that the Ling family had probably prepared as many as two taels of frost ice tea leaves.
'As expected of a hereditary ducal family, they are so damn rich! The old man in white sighed secretly in his heart, with a familiar look of money obsession in his eyes. The red-haired girl sitting opposite him couldn't help but raise her forehead after seeing it, sighing that the teacher's money obsession has happened again.
The Frost Ice Tea Tree is not scary. What is scary is the bird soul beast that lives with them, the Golden Arrow Hanque. This kind of bird spirit beast lives on the frost ice tea tree and feeds on ordinary insects or insect-like spirit beasts in the ice and snow forest. When there is no food, they will also suck some sap from the frost ice tea tree to satisfy their hunger.
The Golden Arrow Hanque, a spirit beast, is famous for the golden tip of its beak. At the same time, its golden beak is also the sharpest point on the Golden Arrow Hanque's body. If part of the metallic soul power in his body is attached while sprinting, he can even directly pierce a hundred-forged steel shield.
Therefore, although everyone knows that the tea leaves produced by the Frost Ice Tea Tree are good, there are not many goods in circulation on the market.
Therefore, even if it is said to be one or two hundred gold soul coins, even if it is available, it will most likely be purchased at a premium.
Speaking of which, this tea should also have a good effect on Xiao Tao's martial arts side effects.
Thinking of this, the old man in white picked up the teapot and cup on the spot and started brewing the frost ice tea.
Seeing the teacher starting to brew tea, the red-haired girl also relaxed, knowing that there should be no outsiders nearby.
She immediately stretched out greatly, highlighting her exaggerated body curves to the fullest.
It's a pity that there is no one here who can enjoy such beautiful scenery.
The old man in white was concentrating on brewing Frost Ice Tea. In his opinion, what he was brewing was not tea, but sparkling golden soul coins!
The slightest waste can make him heartbroken! Therefore, he must brew this pot of tea with all his heart before doing anything else.
The red-haired girl naturally knew her teacher's virtue and would not disturb him at this time.
After stretching a lot, she felt that her stiff body that had been sitting upright for a long time was slightly relaxed. The girl lay lazily on the table, and her fingers drew meaningless circles on the tea table.
After a while, the old man in white prepared the frosty iced tea. He poured the tea into the teacup, raised the teacup with one hand and placed it in front of the girl. After saying a drink, he also picked up another teacup and drank. .
The steaming frost ice tea was taken into the mouth of the old man in white. It only remained warm for a moment. The next moment, the old man felt a coolness explode in his mouth.
Different from the cold feeling that makes people feel cold, this coolness is more similar to the feeling of drinking an entire bottle of iced drink on a hot summer day.
The coolness spread along the mouth, making the old man in white feel refreshed, and the spiritual platform seemed to be much clearer.
"Good tea, worth the money!" The old man in white couldn't help but said in admiration after feeling the coolness.
Of course, another important reason is that he does not need to pay for this tea. Free tea is one of the highest pleasures of human beings!
Seeing the teacher's admiration after drinking the tea, the girl who guessed part of the reason rolled her eyes helplessly. She also picked up the frost ice tea in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
The same coolness appeared in the girl's mouth, but when it spread, it was blocked by a wave of heat.
The heat seemed to be born from the girl's body. It was a constant stream and quickly offset the coolness. But after it offset the coolness, it disappeared again.
"It's no use, teacher."
Facing the expectant gaze of the old man in white, the girl lay lazily on the table and responded to the old man in white.
"This level of ice has absolutely no effect on evil fire."
From her words, you can guess her identity.
The red-haired girl is none other than Ma Xiaotao, the future Shrek's Flame Demon, one of the active volcanoes in Shrek's inner courtyard, one of the saints of the Holy Spirit Cult, the new Poseidon Pavilion Master after the final battle, and whose martial spirit is the Evil Fire Phoenix.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao is not like the fully opened version of her in the future; at this time, she is 13 years old, studying in Class 1 of the third grade of Shrek University, and her soul power cultivation has reached a powerful level. Level 39!
If her teacher and adoptive father hadn't said there was an emergency to take her out this time, she would have passed Shrek Academy's fourth-grade assessment and become a fourth-year student at Shrek.
If she said this, the identity of the old man in white opposite her would be revealed.
The old man in white was sent by Dragon God Douluo Muen to Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the martial arts department of contemporary Shrek Academy in the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
When Yan Shaozhe heard his adopted daughter's answer, he was disappointed but not too surprised.
He was very clear about the problem of Xiao Tao's martial spirit. Whether it was her performance since her awakening or the records of the Phoenix Douluo among the first Shrek Seven Monsters in the secret library of Poseidon Pavilion, they all proved that Ma Xiaotao was possessed by the evil fire phoenix. How difficult fire is.
'It's a pity that I still can't find the cockscomb phoenix sunflower! Yan Shaozhe cursed secretly in his heart countless times.
According to the records in the secret library, the martial spirit of the ancestor of the Phoenix Fighter Ma Hongjun among the seven monsters of the first generation was also an evil fire phoenix at first.
Later, the ancestor Tang San, the god of the sea among the seven monsters, found a treasure such as a cockscomb phoenix sunflower for him, which completely solved the problem of ancestor Ma Hongjun's martial spirit, and even made his martial spirit evolve into a ten-headed fire phoenix!
In the years since Ma Xiaotao awakened her martial spirit, Yan Shaozhe had never thought of finding a cockscomb phoenix sunflower for her to solve her martial spirit problem. However, after searching the entire continent, Yan Shaozhe never found one. Such a treasure.
'Why didn't our ancestors pass down the treasure land where they found the cockscomb, phoenix and sunflower? Yan Shaozhe secretly hated it, but he could do nothing about it.
"Teacher, can we really find a solution to my martial arts problem this time?" Ma Xiaotao asked in a sullen voice, lying on the table with her chin on the tea table.
From the time he awakened his martial soul to the present day, Ma Xiaotao's cultivation path has not been smooth sailing. Because of the evil fire problem inherent in martial arts, every time she practices, she needs to stop and find a powerful female water-attributed spirit master in the academy to condition her body before she can continue practicing.
Despite this, she was still able to reach the level of 39th level soul master at this age. One can imagine how much effort she put in.
But with the improvement of cultivation level, the evil fire in the Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit is also getting stronger day by day. Although the powerful female water-attribute soul master in the academy has reached the realm of Soul Saint, her martial soul is not the top water-attribute martial soul, so she solves the evil fire problem for Ma Xiaotao every time. The duration is also getting shorter and shorter.
If this continues, Ma Xiaotao may soon become a kind of soul master who has been practicing for a month and refining for half a month.
This time Yan Shaozhe brought her out to tell her that the academy seemed to have found a soul master in the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire who could solve her problem, so she happily rushed to Ling's house with Yan Shaozhe. .
But judging from the current situation, Ma Xiaotao feels that the teacher has not received accurate information.
"You are still so impatient." Yan Shaozhe heard his adopted daughter's worry and wordlessly stretched out a finger to tap his adopted daughter's smooth forehead. I don't know if it was due to the influence of Wuhun, but his adopted daughter has always been impatient and has a quite fiery personality. But since she asked, Yan Shaozhe would not fail to answer her.
"Don't worry, the Ling family's behavior just now, doesn't it mean that something happened among them? Maybe it has something to do with the soul master who can solve your martial soul problem." Yan Shaozhe answered with a glint in his eyes. After hearing Ma Xiaotao's question, he was also thinking secretly in his mind.
This Ling family is really not simple. The aura exuding from the Ling An family just now was definitely that of a titled Douluo. And according to feedback from the college's intelligence system, there should be a titled Douluo in charge of the Ling family.
A small ducal family in the Tianhun Empire actually had two titled Douluo in charge. This made Yan Shaozhe confused when he heard the news for the first time.
When did Titled Douluo become so worthless? Didn't you see that the famous White Tiger family in the Star Luo Empire only has one White Tiger Douluo, the current White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
Thinking of what his teacher Mu En told him and what he saw and heard, he didn't let Yan Shaozhe show his arrogant side.
You know, he is the dean of the Martial Arts Department of Shrek Academy! Let alone a small duke, even the emperor of the Tianhun Empire must treat him with courtesy when meeting him.
On the other hand, when he came to the Ling family, although it could not be said that the Ling family did not treat him well, there was a lack of respect for him in their eyes, which also made Yan Shaozhe dissatisfied.
'I can't say, I have to find a way to figure out what happened. After Yan Shaozhe comforted his adopted daughter for a few more words, he asked her to leave first and rest, leaving him alone at the tea table, with his head hanging down, thinking about something while drinking tea...
