Chapter 535: I'm going to grab that guy
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
"..." Song Shuhang.
In the next moment, Song Shuhang propped his body up while inside the golden coffin and lightly jumped.
"Bang!"
His head immediately bumped against the ceiling of the chamber tomb, leaving behind a small hole. Luckily, the ceiling of the ancient grave was quickly restored to its original state thanks to the various formations inside the grave.
"The strength of my constitution sharply increased all of a sudden. As a consequence, I can't control the strength of my muscles properly," Song Shuhang said as he rubbed his head.
However, it wasn't really a big deal. Since the day he had started cultivating up until now, he had experienced several sudden power-ups, and he could easily adapt to them as long as he was given enough time.
Song Shuhang safely landed on the ground.
Then, Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue gently stretched its paw toward Song Shuhang and poked him. Immediately after, a clothing-cleansing magical technique fell onto Song Shuhang's body, drying his wet clothes.
"Thank you, Senior Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue," Song Shuhang said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Now that your clothes are dry, the smell of green onion emanating from your body is even stronger. What a good scent," the jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue said while licking its lips.
F*ck... Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue isn't planning to eat me, right? Song Shuhang got a scare.
"Fellow Daoist Song One, here is your mobile phone and size-reducing purse, as well your onion spirit." Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue returned Song Shuhang all his items. At first, she was thinking of performing a divination for Lady Onion to see if there was any fate between her and the position of 'Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue'. However, Lady Onion's whole body had melted, and there wasn't any face, hand, or foot left to get info to perform the divination. She could only wait and see if there was an opportunity the next time.
Song Shuhang asked, "Is Lady Onion alright?"
Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue passed the flower pot with Lady Onion inside to Song Shuhang and said, "She should be fine. Her green onion root is still intact. Therefore, it's only a matter of time before her body reverts to its original state. However, there might be a small problem."
Song Shuhang asked, "What kind of problem?"
Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue replied, "If you try to sense it carefully... you'll notice that there is no monster qi on the root of the onion spirit anymore."
Song Shuhang could reluctantly operate his mental energy at this time. After he used it to sense Lady Onion's condition, he indeed noticed that there wasn't any monster qi left on the root on the enlightenment stone. He remembered that Lady Onion's monster qi was very powerful. After all, she was a monster that had lived for several hundred years.
Although she had no idea how to use her monster qi, she could at least use it to intimidate her opponents. The first time they met, she almost scared Song Shuhang to death by using her monster qi.
At this time, there wasn't even the tiniest bit of monster qi left on her body. It wasn't that it had disappeared just on the surface... on the contrary, all the monster qi inside Lady Onion's body had been eliminated.
"Can she still be considered a monster?" Song Shuhang asked. Had she suddenly turned into a monster with no monster qi?
Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue pondered for a moment and replied, "She should still be a monster. After all, monster qi is just a type of energy that monsters can use. A car without gasoline is still a car, after all."
"That's also true," Song Shuhang said.
"Hmm... the only problematic thing is that the car might not use gasoline in the future anymore... and use cooking oil instead," Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue added immediately after.
"..." Song Shuhang.
What does she mean by 'and use cooking oil instead'? Is it possible that Lady Onion won't use monster qi from now, and use another type of energy instead?
Sometimes, the wheel of destiny would turn and bring one to unexpected places. The fact that Lady Onion wouldn't use gasoline to fight anymore and use cooking oil instead was something completely unexpected!
It should be still okay. Although Lady Onion can't use her monster qi anymore, she still has that impressive buddhist cultivation technique she used the first time she met me...
If possible, I should get my hands on another cultivation technique that is more suitable for Lady Onion and give it to her.
"Since bath time is over, follow me. Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and the others have been waiting for you for a very long time." The jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue gently jumped and took the lead, showing the way to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Alright."
Before leaving, he recalled another matter and asked, "Senior Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, can you sell me a few sets of the raw materials needed for the medicinal bath?"
"Sure. Most of them are low-level raw materials. I have many of them in stock. Each medicinal bath will cost you seven spirit stones of the Third Stage," Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said.
Song Shuhang replied, "In that case, can you give me ten sets of medicinal materials?"
At this time, Song Shuhang had with him nine spirit stones of the Fourth Stage and three spirit stones of the Third Stage. However, one of the spirit stones of the Fourth Stage was already half-used.
Therefore, he decided to leave behind a spirit stone of the Fourth Stage in case there was an emergency and use the remaining seven to get ten sets of raw materials.
As for the spirit stones he owed Venerable White... he would keep owing them! But there was bound to be a day where he would return them!
If possible, Song Shuhang wanted to buy as many sets of raw materials as possible. If he were to miss this chance to buy them, he would hardly get another opportunity to buy them at a good price.
❄️❄️❄️
After getting the ten sets of raw materials for the medicinal bath, Song Shuhang followed the jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue and left the 'grave of Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue', returning to the immortal boat.
Soon after, the immortal boat carried the group of people and headed toward the moon.
After they left, the 'grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue' concealed itself and disappeared without leaving any traces. It was a special type of ancient grave that could move around. Unless Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue wanted to, one could chance upon the grave only by luck.
"Little friend Shuhang also signed the contract?" Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked with a smile while sitting next to the window of the immortal boat, looking at the starry sky outside.
"Yes." Song Shuhang nodded and said, "However, Senior Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said that the results of the divination were quite strange in my case. There shouldn't be much fate between me and the 'Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber. My name is probably there only to make up the numbers."
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue faintly smiled and said, "Hehe, fate can't be quantified. You either have it or not."
❄️❄️❄️
The immortal boat flew in space for around ten minutes before slowing down.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue suddenly said, "Little friend Shuhang, it's time for us to say goodbye. Wait for me to uncover the secrets of the gourd, I'll contact you again later."
"It's time to say goodbye? Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, are you going somewhere?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, I'm returning to my immortal cave. The ones that are leaving are you and the others, little friend Shuhang. The other day, Fellow Daoist White especially got online and chatted with me for a while. He said that I was supposed to throw you into space and let you float there after you were done exploring the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue." Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue straightened up his finger and said, "Fellow Daoist White said that this trip to space is a type of training for little friend Shuhang."
"..." Song Shuhang.
"In that case, you should get ready to leave, little friend Shuhang. I've already prepared everything you needed. For example, your space capsule and spacesuit," Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a smile.
"..." Song Shuhang.
"Shuhang, good luck." Yu Jiaojiao smiled and patted Song Shuhang, saying, "I won't be able to accompany you any further on this trip. I have to return to Earth first."
"Eeeeh? Jiaojiao, you are abandoning us just like that?" Song Shuhang called out.
Yu Jiaojiao said, "Hehe, I already have the moonstone. Therefore, I don't really need to stay on the moon to practice. Moreover, I told you about that guy writing interesting novels the last time—do you remember?"
"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it." Song Shuhang was finally clear as to what was going on.
Earlier, he had promised Senior White that they would shoot a movie together.
Song Shuhang was thinking of shooting a short movie with everything done on a small scale, enough for his self-enjoyment~
Then, he would have Papa Song show it during the celebration for the New Year when all close relatives and friends were gathered together. With that, everyone would be able to happily enjoy it.
"Yesterday, I determined that the author got online from home. Therefore, I want to make a trip to Earth to catch him and put him into a small black room," Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
