Yan Keze was stunned. Although magic essence stones were precious, he wouldn't carry them on his person. Zhan Xiang, standing beside him, had already taken out a delicate embroidered pouch and handed it to Lou Yueshuang. "Yueshuang, your teacher has plenty of these. This is for you."

Yan Keze's eyes widened, and he grabbed a book, handing it to Lou Yueshuang. "Yueshuang, although I don't have a magic essence stone with me, I do have a valuable item to give you."

"Mentor Yan, you're even giving that away?" Li Guangyi, who was standing nearby, stared in shock at the book Yan Keze handed to Lou Yueshuang.

Seeing Li Guangyi's expression, Lou Yueshuang knew the book wasn't ordinary. She quickly declined, "Mentor Yan, I can't accept this book..."

"Just take it..." Yan Keze stuffed the book into Lou Yueshuang's hands, his eyes widening again.

Zhan Xiang said, "Yueshuang, Mentor Yan is also your teacher now. Since this is a welcoming gift, you might as well accept it. Go back and prepare. Mentor Yan and I will discuss with the academy how to arrange your cultivation and studies."

"Yes, thank you Mentor Yan, thank you Mentor Zhan." Lou Yueshuang bowed and retreated from the examination platform.

Lou Yueshuang knew that other students would continue the examination. As soon as she stepped off the platform and left the front row area, a crowd of merchants and prominent figures surged toward her. Business cards rained down into Lou Yueshuang's hands, and her ears were filled with flattery and invitations, along with guarantees of sponsorship and funding.

Eventually, because it was disrupting the later examinations, the academy stepped in and stopped the commotion, allowing Lou Yueshuang to escape from the Cultivation Yuan Hall.

As soon as Lou Yueshuang left the Cultivation Yuan Hall, the throng of merchants swarmed out after her. The academy hall suddenly felt empty.

To the many merchants, who among the students taking the advanced class exam at the Cultivation Yuan Hall could possibly have a brighter future than Lou Yueshuang? Getting to know her now might mean knowing a future Grand Magister, or even someone like a Magic Emperor.

Yun Mo watched Lou Yueshuang being ushered away by the crowd, her fists clenching. This girl, whom she had always looked down upon, had now taken away all the cheers and applause. The thought of Lou Yueshuang now standing above her, along with the words Lou Yueshuang had said to her before going on stage, made jealousy burn in her heart like oil doused on a fire. "Condensing magic essence so quickly must be witchcraft. Once the Papal Court finds out, let's see what tricks Lou Yueshuang has left to show off."

"I didn't expect Yueshuang to have such an understanding of magic essence condensation. It's truly unbelievable," Pang Ha said in surprise.

"Yes, she hides it so well, just like her…" Yun Mo forced herself to swallow the words "chest size", not wanting to leave a bad impression on Pang Ha.

Pang Ha didn't seem to notice Yun Mo's words, still watching Lou Yueshuang's departing figure. His mind was filled with the scene of Lou Yueshuang condensing and absorbing magic essence. If he could control Lou Yueshuang's ability, coupled with his Pang family's Cultivation Yuan Technique, he could advance to Magister rank in the near future.

The thought emerged like a seed sprouting, quickly taking root in his heart and growing wildly like weeds.

……

Lou Yueshuang didn't know how she managed to break free from the crowd; she only knew that when she arrived back at her residence, her hands were full of business cards.

"Brother Mo..." As soon as she returned to her residence, Lou Yueshuang completely sobered up. The reason she was called the most talented genius in the entire academy was because of Brother Mo, who lived in her residence. In other words, anyone who was with Brother Mo was also a genius.

In fact, Mo Wuji had heard Lou Yueshuang open the door, but he simply didn't want to move. There was indeed a faint aura here, a kind of energy similar to spiritual energy, but unfortunately, he couldn't use it to cultivate.

Mo Wuji had seen magic cultivators. Magic cultivators also used spiritual energy to cultivate, not magic energy, nor whatever magic yuan was here.

Now that Lou Yueshuang had called him, he guessed that she had passed the advanced class examination. If the method of condensing magic essence that he had taught Lou Yueshuang couldn't get her into the advanced class, that would be strange.

Mo Wuji walked out and said with a smile, "Yueshuang, congratulations on becoming a student in the advanced class."

Lou Yueshuang quickly said, "It's all thanks to the method you taught me, Brother Mo. I passed the genius option examination and became a student in the advanced class in a very short time. But later, Mentor Yan Keze and Mentor Zhan Xiang wanted to take me as their student, and I agreed. I know that my real teacher should be you..."

Mo Wuji waved his hand. "That's the right thing to do. You know I definitely won't be staying in this place for long."

"Brother Mo, I got a magic essence stone..." Lou Yueshuang eagerly threw all the business cards in her hand aside and untied the embroidered pouch from her waist, handing it to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji was even more anxious than Lou Yueshuang. He grabbed the embroidered pouch, opened it, and took out a dark gray magic essence stone.

The moment Mo Wuji's hand touched the magic essence stone, he felt ecstatic. There was indeed a trace of spiritual energy in this magic essence stone, but in addition to spiritual energy, the main thing was a magic yuan aura. Mo Wuji had encountered this kind of magic yuan aura before, but he still didn't know what kind of energy it was.

"Brother Mo, is this thing useful?" Lou Yueshuang asked nervously.

Mo Wuji grabbed the pouch and tightly held Lou Yueshuang's hand. "It's useful, extremely useful. I need to go into seclusion... no, I need to study it for a few days. You help me guard the outside and don't allow anyone to approach me here. Also, if I don't come out in time, don't bring me food. I have a lot of dry food on me. Even if I have to hold out for more than ten days, it will be fine."

Even if Mo Wuji had no cultivation now, he didn't need to eat anything. Lou Yueshuang was afraid he would be hungry, so she often wanted to bring him things to eat. He was afraid that not eating anything would cause something to happen, so he reluctantly accepted.

"Okay, Brother Mo, don't worry, I definitely won't let anyone disturb you." After Lou Yueshuang finished speaking, she handed another book to Mo Wuji. "Brother Mo, this is a book that Mentor Yan gave me. It should be a very useful book. Take a look at it."

"Alright." Mo Wuji took the book and quickly closed the door.

At this moment, he urgently wanted to open his ring as quickly as possible. Just now, he had taken a look. There were nine magic essence stones in that small pouch, not many. The combined spiritual energy was barely enough.

Mo Wuji had no cultivation, but as long as he had spiritual energy, he could mobilize his meridians to circulate.

Although the spiritual energy contained in a single magic essence stone was extremely thin, Mo Wuji was still full of confidence. The main reason was that he had the Storage Yuan Meridian. The spiritual energy extracted from the nine magic essence stones individually was very small. As long as he gathered these spiritual sources in the Storage Yuan Meridian, he could open the ring in one go. As long as the ring was opened, everything would be easy for him.

After Mo Wuji went into seclusion, Lou Yueshuang still couldn't calm down. Everything that happened today felt like a dream to her. Before this, she was just an average student in the intermediate class of Anjing Magic Arts Academy. Don't think that she was the best in the region. In fact, how many of those who entered Anjing Magic Arts Academy weren't the best in their region?

In such a short time, she had become the number one genius in Anjing Magic Arts Academy and had also become a student of both Mentor Yan Keze and Mentor Zhan Xiang at the same time.

She casually picked up the pile of business cards and looked at them. There were top merchants from Liang Country, such as the Mi family, and prominent figures from Anjin City.

"Bang!" The sound of the door being kicked open startled Lou Yueshuang, who was immersed in joy and fantasy. She stood up in shock, staring blankly at the three people who had entered from outside. Besides the three people who had entered, there were several others standing outside the door.

"Dean Gu..." Lou Yueshuang looked at the old man who had entered last with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why the dean of the academy would bring strangers to kick open the room of the academy's number one genius.

Dean Gu felt Lou Yueshuang's puzzled gaze and lowered his head in shame. No matter how strong Anjing Magic Arts Academy was, it couldn't compete with the Papal Court. Now that people from the Papal Court had come here, what could he do? If it was just him alone, he would risk his life, but he had to be responsible for the entire Anjing Magic Arts Academy.

"You are Lou Yueshuang? The student who separated and condensed magic yuan in a short period, and can even absorb it?" Standing at the front was a young man with a long face. He stared at Lou Yueshuang with a cold gaze.

Lou Yueshuang didn't understand what was going on. She could only say, "Yes, I am Lou Yueshuang."

Another middle-aged man with a dark face heard Lou Yueshuang's admission and immediately said, "Take her away."

Before Lou Yueshuang could answer, an angry voice came, "Even if you are from the Papal Court, you can't just come to my Anjing Magic Arts Academy and take away my student."

Zhan Xiang rushed over angrily, blocking Lou Yueshuang.

Lou Yueshuang felt a sense of warmth in her heart. She didn't understand what was going on, but she could see that this matter was extraordinary. Because the dark-faced middle-aged man who said he wanted to take her away was from the Papal Court. She could tell from the insignia on his clothes. Under normal circumstances, who would dare to say no to the people of the Papal Court? Zhan Xiang was just her newly recognized teacher, but she was actually protecting her like this.

"Mentor Zhan, don't be impulsive. This is the Fenglu Divine Law Master of the Papal Court in Liang Country..." The dean of Anjing Magic Arts Academy, Gu, quickly pointed to the dark-faced middle-aged man who wanted to take Lou Yueshuang away and introduced him. After that, he pointed to the long-faced young man and introduced him, "This is the Magic Master of the Papal Court, Lord Polo Jin."

Zhan Xiang said in a calm tone, "Dean Gu, no matter who comes, it's absolutely impossible to take away students from my Anjing Magic Arts Academy. As a dean, what you should be doing is not bringing them here, but stopping them from coming here to take away our students."

"Bold, you dare to defy the will of the Papal Court. Take them all away together." Fenglu, who was introduced by Dean Gu as the Divine Law Master of the Papal Court, shouted sternly.
