Preparing to Head to Mount Luofeng

"Young Master Song!"

Song Chengan turned around.

It was Zhao Yuan'er.

This Miss Zhao, who had been trembling in fear of demons a few months ago, now carried herself with the grace of a well-bred young lady.

"I am not here today to use my influence to bully you."

"Regardless of whether Young Master Song comes or not, we will compensate Hu Lu with silver."

"This matter was Sister Guiyu's mistake."

She explained.

Song Chengan was a little surprised.

He naturally understood what this Miss Zhao meant.

She meant that no matter if Song Chengan came or not, they would not use their influence to bully him.

Song Chengan cupped his fists. "I trust you, Miss Zhao!"

Hearing Song Chengan say this, a hint of joy appeared on Zhao Yuan'er's face.

"There is one more thing."

Zhao Yuan'er said, bowing slightly. "On behalf of everyone in the Zhao family, Zhao Yuan'er thanks Young Master Song for saving our lives!"

"The Zhao family?"

Song Chengan was a little surprised to hear this.

"Miss Zhao, aren't you from Zhao Family Village?"

"Why have you become the Zhao family of the rice merchants?"

Zhao Yuan'er smiled faintly.

"The Zhao family of the rice merchants is Zhao Family Village."

"My father is the Clan Leader of the Zhao family."

Song Chengan listened.

It seemed to be true.

The people of Zhao Family Village and the Zhao family of the rice merchants were from the same clan.

"Young Master Song saved me twice, saving my Zhao family. I have already arranged for a table of food and wine at the Eight Immortals Restaurant. Would you do me the honor?"

Song Chengan waved his hand.

"There's no need to worry about the life-saving grace, Miss Zhao."

"The first time, when you were abducted, it was a misunderstanding."

"As for saving the Zhao family later... even if it wasn't the Zhao family, but the Li family, the Wang family, or the Chen family, I would have saved them."

"So there's no need to worry."

"I still have some things to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Song Chengan cupped his fists and left.

He felt a headache coming on.

Why was this Zhao Yuan'er from the Zhao family of the rice merchants?

If she were from Zhao Family Village, they would never have met in their lives, and Song Chengan wouldn't have to worry about people finding out about his connection with the monsters of Mount Luofeng.

Now that he had become a Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, he naturally didn't worry as much about people knowing his relationship with the monsters of Mount Luofeng, but it was still a bit troublesome.

He didn't need to worry so much.

At least for now, this Miss Zhao was a reasonable person.

Song Chengan shook his head and left.

Song Chengan did not pay attention to Hu Lu's affairs afterward.

He only heard people say that he and his woman had divorced, and that woman had moved into Wang San'er's house the next day.

Along with her was his eldest son, Hu Gou'er.

Song Chengan didn't see him for a while after that.

The others at the noodle shop also didn't see him.

He stopped coming to the noodle shop.

It was just that some people occasionally saw him going back and forth between the villages below, continuing his pig castration business.

"Have you finished comprehending?"

Inside the Void Heaven Mirror.

Song Chengan saw

The four illusory bodies were all sitting cross-legged.

This meant the comprehension of various martial arts was complete.

Absorb!

Song Chengan's mind moved.

The four balls of Dao Fruit light were instantly absorbed.

Water Repelling Art! Perfected!

Fire Cloud Staff Technique! Perfected!

Southern Bright Illusory Fire True Qi! Comprehension Complete!

Divination Art! Mastered!

Perfected?

It seemed there was nothing left to comprehend.

The Southern Bright Illusory Fire True Qi had been comprehended. Now, all he needed was Earth Fire to learn this True Qi technique!

Divination Art was only mastered?

"Then I'll continue comprehending!"

Another illusory body was condensed within the Void Heaven Mirror, continuing to comprehend the Divination Art.

Song Chengan felt this skill should be quite useful.

"I also need to buy a pill furnace."

Song Chengan had originally planned to buy spirit herbs and a pill furnace when he went to the Ghost Market last time.

But after buying the spirit herbs, he left too quickly and forgot to buy the pill furnace.

"I'll worry about the pill furnace later."

"First, I'll find a reason to ask Captain Wu for leave, and then I'll go to Mount Luo."

With that thought, Song Chengan went to the yamen.

When Captain Wu heard that he had some insights in his cultivation and needed to go into seclusion for a period, he readily approved his leave and even asked if he needed a protector.

But Song Chengan refused.

Mount Luo.

Song Chengan was not coming in person again.

"Song Chengan, are you going to the village?"

The Black Cat, carrying a mouse in its mouth, asked while standing in front of Song Chengan.

Song Chengan quickly nodded.

"Oh, oh, then I'll lead the way for you."

Song Chengan followed behind the Black Cat, passing through the dense forest.

He suddenly said to the Black Cat.

"Didn't you say you were going to bring me food last time?"

"Why didn't you bring any later?"

The Black Cat paused.

"Oh, oh, I forgot."

"I'll bring it to you next time."

"In about half a month, I need to go out recently."

"Oh, oh."

The Black Cat said and then left.

Its destination was the Mountain God Temple.

"It obtained its opportunity in the Mountain God Temple."

"So it goes to worship Lord Mountain God every time."

"Speaking of which, it has the brightest future among us."

"Senior Bai!"

At some unknown time, First Boss Bai appeared in front of Song Chengan.

"En."

"Do the monsters on Mount Luo not have names?" Song Chengan asked doubtfully.

The monsters on Mount Luo did not have names.

They all called each other things like Grey Squirrel, Weasel, Bear, or Cat.

Only First Boss Bai and Second Boss Huang have names.

This made Song Chengan a little strange.

With First Boss Bai's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to give these monsters names.

Hearing this, First Boss Bai chuckled and said, "Because a monster's name is linked to karma."

"For us monsters, if we can receive a name from a high-level expert, it would bring immense benefits."

"That's why I've never named them. I want them to have a chance in the future to be bestowed a name by an expert."

Song Chengan suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

He seemed to have given that foolish bear a name.

Did that count as ruining someone's future?

He suddenly felt a little guilty.

"If you're interested, you can give them a name."

Song Chengan felt a little sheepish. "Senior, please don't mock me."

What cultivation level did he have?

He could only pray that the Black Bear wouldn't cause him trouble after finding out about this.

"Right, it's not time for lessons yet. Why are you here at Mount Luo?"

First Boss Bai asked curiously.

Song Chengan cupped his fists.

"It's the Southern Bright Illusory Fire True Qi!"

"After comprehending it during this period, I've gained some insights into this True Qi and believe I can officially begin cultivating it."

"However, cultivating this True Qi requires the assistance of Earth Fire."

"So I came to ask if you know of any places nearby with Earth Fire."

"Earth Fire?"

First Boss Bai fell into thought.

"There are none in the counties around Lingqiu, but there is some in Taixuan Commandery."

"Taixuan Commandery?"

"You mean Taixuan Commandery, the seat of Liangzhou?"

"Precisely."

"In Mount Luofeng, outside Taixuan Commandery city, there is a volcano that hasn't been extinguished for thousands of years."

"It should be enough for you to cultivate this Southern Bright Illusory Fire True Qi."

"Thank you for informing me, Senior."

"Don't rush off yet."

"Mount Luofeng is controlled by a sect called the Fire Refining Sect. If you want to go there to obtain Earth Fire to cultivate this True Qi, it might be a bit difficult."

"It's fine. I'll go take a look first and think of other ways when I get there."

"Very well."
