While Mu En was cleansing Zhu Zi's marrow and meridians, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were still absorbing Spirit Bones. Bei Bei, who had arrived at the dining hall, finally couldn't wait any longer after the three didn't show up for a long time.
He left the dining hall, exited Shrek Academy, and rushed to Shrek City at an extremely fast speed.
He arrived at a courtyard house, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Young Master, you've arrived!" The people inside saw Bei Bei enter, quickly stood up, went to meet him, and greeted him respectfully.
"Mm! Why are you looking for me? So urgent?" Bei Bei asked directly.
"The item the Old Ancestor asked the family head to find some time ago has been located. The family head specifically asked us to deliver it to you," the person replied, taking out a dark porcelain bottle from a spirit tool on his person and handing it to Bei Bei.
Bei Bei was stunned, taking the porcelain bottle with some confusion, but as he felt the life aura emanating from within the bottle, his face immediately showed shock and joy. He stammered, "This is a Wood Spirit Pill?!"
"Yes," the person nodded and replied, "I have delivered the item. I will return to report. Goodbye, Young Master."
The person quickly disappeared, leaving only Bei Bei standing in place.
Bei Bei recalled what Mu En had said to him, "That little girl's origin is damaged. If it's not mended, she'll likely have a very difficult journey." He remembered this sentence, which was why he decided to look for a Wood Spirit Pill for Tang Ya.
The Wood Spirit Pill, a high-grade medicinal pill, has effects such as healing injuries and strengthening the foundation. For plant-type Spirit users, it has the powerful effect of mending, repairing, and even strengthening their origin.
The price of such a medicinal pill would undoubtedly be high. Although Bei Bei was the only son in his family, he did not have the authority to mobilize such vast resources, so after being rejected by his elders the first time, he thought of Mu En.
The result was obvious: Mu En spoke, and this Wood Spirit Pill was delivered right before his eyes.
Bei Bei greatly anticipated the help and improvement this Wood Spirit Pill would bring to Tang Ya.

Leaving aside Bei Bei's actions after obtaining the Wood Spirit Pill, let's return our attention to the Sea God Pavilion.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Mu En withdrew his hand. A trace of fatigue flashed across his aged face, but more prominent were surprise and excitement.
While cleansing Zhu Ziyang's marrow and meridians, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his new disciple's meridians were already fully connected, and they were exceptionally broad and tough, truly a natural cultivation physique. This made Mu En somewhat helpless, so he had to expend some effort to help him open some collateral meridians and hidden acupoints, which would make his future cultivation process smoother.
At the same time, what excited Mu En was that he sensed a spirit power within Zhu Ziyang's body that was distinctly different from the aura of the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe. That spirit power carried bone-chilling coldness and domineering dragon might, which confirmed his previous conjecture and made Mu En even more excited, looking at Zhu Ziyang with increasing fondness.
"Haha~ Truly blessed by heaven!" Mu En looked at Zhu Ziyang, who was consolidating his meridians, with kind eyes, and a flush of excitement flashed across his aged face.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Zhu Ziyang opened his eyes, a hint of joy in them.
He had broken through, his spirit power reaching level 37.
This wasn't even what made him happiest. His body's meridians and acupoints were already very smooth and broad due to cultivating the Great Bright Light Art, and his meridians were also very tough. This time, he also received Mu En's marrow and meridian cleansing, strengthening several previously somewhat narrow and fragile meridian hubs, and opening up meridians and acupoints that the Great Bright Light Art couldn't reach. This made his spirit power circulation even smoother, and his cultivation speed naturally increased significantly.
"Teacher, thank you!" Zhu Ziyang stood up, looking at the hint of fatigue on Mu En's aged face, feeling a little touched, and thanked him with respect.
"Haha! It seems you've gained a lot. It's worth it for this old man to be a bit tired," Mu En said cheerfully when he saw Zhu Ziyang awaken and felt his aura had strengthened a bit.
"Mm! My spirit power increased by one level. I'm now level 37," Zhu Ziyang said with excitement in his voice. He realized that it was entirely possible for him to reach the level 40 Spirit Ancestor realm by the age of twelve, especially since he still had a Soul Ascension Pill in his possession.
A Spirit Ancestor at twelve years old, such a feat had probably never occurred in the history of Shrek Academy!
"Good, good, good!" Mu En also thought of this point, and the gratification on his face grew even stronger, repeating "good" three times. "I hope you can set a new Spirit Ancestor record for Shrek Academy."
"Mm! I will work hard," Zhu Ziyang said, with firm confidence.
"Hahaha, ambitious!" Mu En laughed heartily with great admiration, then continued, "Ziyang, I'll call you that. Can you tell me what your second Spirit is?"
"Of course, no problem!" Zhu Ziyang replied. He had no intention of concealing his twin spirits, as twin spirits would only bring him more attention, more resources, and thus make him even stronger. So, to Mu En's question, he answered without hesitation: "My second Spirit is called Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon."
"White Dragon?!" Mu En heard this, his face showing confusion, and asked, "A Light-type True Dragon?"
"No, it's Ice-type," Zhu Ziyang said.
"An Ice-attribute White Dragon, that's rare!" Mu En looked as if he had expected it, but then said.
On the Douluo Continent, most White Dragons were Light-type True Dragons or Wind-type True Dragons. A White Dragon like Zhu Ziyang's Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon, which was Ice-type, was very rare, so it was no wonder Mu En felt doubt and curiosity. He continued, "A Spirit that can be twin with an Ultimate Light Spirit must also have something special about it."
"Mm, my second Spirit is Ultimate Ice," Zhu Ziyang said calmly, speaking the words that left Mu En unsettled for a long time.
"You, what did you say?" Mu En stood up abruptly, his hunched body trembling slightly, staring at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief. Few could make the dignified Dragon God Douluo lose his composure like this. This alone was enough for Zhu Ziyang to be recorded in Shrek's academy history.
Zhu Ziyang didn't speak, but smiled slightly, revealing the Spirit phantom and aura of his second Spirit. A pure white giant dragon appeared behind him, its frost-white dragon wings spread, and an icy cold aura instantly permeated the entire wooden house, causing the temperature inside to drop by several degrees.
"To actually..." Mu En looked at the phantom, which only super Beast Spirits possessed, and felt the icy aura, greatly shaken in his heart. He murmured, "Twin Ultimate Spirits! Twin Ultimate Spirits! Heaven truly blesses Shrek!"
Mu En looked at Zhu Ziyang. In his heart, he had already placed Zhu Ziyang's status at the very forefront. This child's talent could be called one in ten thousand years. At least in Shrek's ten-thousand-year history, there were Ultimate Spirit users, and there were also twin spirits users, but a twin Ultimate Spirit user, there was only this one! Heaven had sent him to Shrek Academy before he was about to die. What else could it be but a blessing from heaven?
He could assert that with Zhu Ziyang, Shrek Academy would inevitably be extremely prosperous for the next five hundred, or even a thousand years!
Furthermore, with such talent, Zhu Ziyang was very likely to strive for that legendary realm, reaching a level comparable to the Original Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago.
"Good child, put away your Spirit!" Mu En raised his hand, patted Zhu Ziyang's shoulder, and said with gratification, "I am very grateful for your recognition of Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy will absolutely not let you down!"
"Teacher, you..." Zhu Ziyang was startled, but then understood the reason. He wanted to speak, but Mu En stopped him.
"Heh, don't rush, let me finish," Mu En said, "With your talent, no matter which academy or Sect you go to on the Continent, you will definitely receive top-tier treatment. The fact that you came to Shrek Academy shows that you trust Shrek Academy. Since that's the case, as the Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, I will certainly not let you down!"
"Teacher, I understand!" Zhu Ziyang smiled, looking into Mu En's eyes, and said.
"Hahaha! Good!" Mu En laughed, a very happy laugh, and said, "Let's go, let's go meet the other old fellows and your senior brothers and sisters!"
Mu En's hand pressed on Zhu Ziyang's shoulder, and to Zhu Ziyang's surprised gaze, the surrounding space was quickly engulfed by golden light.
