Anticipation! (Extra chapter for Cold Flame Sword Alliance)

The pressure of reading is immense. "True Lord, how many meanings does 'have' have?"

After a long pause, True Lord Yellow Mountain sent out two words: "Keep it up!"

The pressure of studying is immense. "..."

A moment later, Mad Saber Three Waves appeared and changed the subject. "Northern River, have you arrived yet? I have a feeling we'll find the Mysterious Island in the next few days!"

"I arrived quickly. Because I need to deal with amnesia, I prepared some magical artifacts and modern products, which took a little time," Northern River's Loose Cultivator replied.

Medicine Master: "Actually, I think it would be better if you wait a few more days until I determine the cause of your four fellow cultivators' amnesia before entering the Mysterious Island."

Jiang Ziyan must have typed it for her, given how fast she types.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator, "Medicine Master, please find out the reason for my fellow Daoist's amnesia quickly. After all, the appearance and disappearance of the Mysterious Island are unpredictable. If we happen to come across it, we can't let it slip by."

Medicine Master: "I'll do my best."

The group chat continued to discuss the "Mysterious Island" and "amnesia".

Song Shuhang drowsily watched the group messages pop up, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

Late at night.

My three roommates also fell asleep one after another.

At this moment, a dark, spiritual entity appeared above Song Shuhang's head.

"I hate it so much, I hate it so much!" the spirit screamed, slowly swelling up.

Song Shuhang, still half asleep, involuntarily curled up.

"Tsk, not again?" Pekingese Doudou opened its eyes, then skillfully opened its mouth and swallowed the dark, spirit-like object. Judging from its practiced manner and tone, this wasn't the first time it had swallowed this spirit.

************

The following day, June 19th, it was cloudy with occasional showers.

Today, the coach arranged for Song Shuhang and Tubo to practice driving on the road, and then they will go to the road test site to drive around a few times to familiarize themselves with the site, just in case.

Song Shuhang got up early to practice his Basic Fist Technique a few times, and when the appointed time arrived, he slowly ran towards the east gate of the school.

Lin Tubo was already waiting at the East Gate.

"Has the coach not arrived yet?" Song Shuhang waved and asked.

"The instructor said there's another girl coming with us to practice the road test area, so we asked her to drive a lap first," Tubo replied.

Just then, a training vehicle drove up in this direction.

The coach was a man in his thirties with a buzz cut. Next to him was a girl with a small ponytail, looking very nervous.

Song Shuhang had sharp ears and overheard the conversation between the coach and the little girl from afar.

The short-haired instructor pointed to a pedestrian not far ahead of the car in front and said, "See that guy up ahead? Rush up there and run him over!"

"Huh? Why did you run him over?" The little girl with the ponytail looked surprised and whispered, "I didn't dare run him over."

"You don't dare? Then why don't you ease off the accelerator?" the short-haired coach growled.

The little girl with the ponytail was immediately thrown into a flurry of activity.

"Alright, let's stop the car. Remember the steps for stopping? Turn signal, then check for pedestrians, and finally slowly pull over to the side. Stop next to those two boys." The instructor gave instructions step by step.

With Song Shuhang and Tubo, two students who "learned quickly after just one lesson," as benchmarks, he always feels an urge to roar Lion's Roar when he looks at his other students.

After the training vehicle stopped, Tubo opened the door and got in.

"Come on, Shuhang, it's your turn to drive for a bit," the short-haired coach called out.

The girl with the ponytail breathed a sigh of relief and quickly darted back to the back seat.

"Okay." Song Shuhang calmly fastened his seatbelt, adjusted his seat, and checked the rearview mirror.

The vehicle started smoothly, shifted gears skillfully, and steadily increased its speed.

If the instructor with the crew cut hadn't known that it was Song Shuhang's first time driving on the road, he would have thought he was a Veteran Driver.

This is exactly the kind of student he wants. The coach looked satisfied. If every student were this easy to manage, the coach wouldn't have to Lion's Roar the students all the time.

"Very good, Shuhang, change lanes, then change back, and let Tubo drive for a while. With your skills, you can sign up for the road test in a week!" the short-haired instructor laughed.

"What about me?" the little girl with the ponytail asked, leaning closer.

"Well, as for you... the day you stop thinking about taking me down with you after you get in the car, then I'll register you for your road test!" the short-haired instructor said earnestly.

"..." The girl with the ponytail chuckled awkwardly twice and shrank back.

After Tubo got into the car, Song Shuhang climbed into the back seat, leaned against the door, and opened the Nine Provinces Number One Group to prevent the girl with the ponytail next to him from peeking at his phone.

The group chat was buzzing with activity.

"Found that Mysterious Island, an interesting place. Just like the Medicine Master's information, you can feel the 'anti-flight' array power as you get closer. However, even through the thick fog of the Mysterious Island, I can already smell the fragrance of herbs," Mad Saber Three Waves messaged.

True Lord Ancient Sea Abbey said, "Three Waves, send the coordinates. Northern River and I will be there immediately."

Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "When the time comes, bring the magical artifacts I've prepared, and one of those needle-shaped cameras for each of you. In case we really do lose our memories, as long as these magical artifacts and the needle-shaped cameras aren't broken, we'll still have a chance to solve the mystery of our amnesia."

The Medicine Master, "Be careful. There are ferocious beasts on the island; even two Golden Core Spirit Emperor couldn't stop them. Don't be greedy; caution is paramount."

True Lord Yellow Mountain reminded him, "Be sure to activate your mental protection spell to avoid interference."

About five minutes later, Mad Saber Three Waves, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, and True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey met up and entered the Mysterious Island together.

True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey possesses profound strength, while Three Waves and Northern River's Loose Cultivator are among the strongest in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Mad Saber Three Waves possesses unparalleled saber skills, while Northern River's Loose Cultivator is a powerful expert very close to the Sixth-Grade True Lord realm. If all three of them return defeated, then Mysterious Island will have to be marked as a high-danger level Secret Realm.

Today, Su Clan’s Seven and Sixteen still did not show up.

Soft Feather is still fighting alongside the Spirit Ghost.

"I hope the seniors who entered the Secret Realm will be safe and sound, and I hope Sixteen can also overcome this calamity," Song Shuhang prayed silently.

*********************

Eight days later, on Thursday, June 27th.

Song Shuhang and Lin Tubo passed their road test and the theory test (subject four) and successfully obtained their driver's licenses. The two then treated their roommates to a nice meal.

Eight days have passed since Mad Saber Three Waves, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, and True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey entered the Mysterious Island. The three seniors have yet to emerge from the Mysterious Island; we wonder how their gains have been.

Saturday, June 29th, heavy rain.

In the five-story building where the Medicine Master lives.

Song Shuhang is refining Body Tempering Liquid.

He lifted the lid of the hot pot, turned on the range hood, and spun the fan to its maximum. Most of the stench was removed, but the room was still filled with a strong, pungent odor.

Song Shuhang has already moved the Body Tempering Liquid ingredients that Soft Feather gave him to the Medicine Master in batches.

The Blood Qi Pill have long been used up, but the 'Simplified Body Tempering Liquid' can still be used indefinitely.

As Song Shuhang's physique improved, the amount of Body Tempering Liquid he consumed also increased. Now, the Body Tempering Liquid produced in one batch is only enough for him to consume once.

Furthermore, the body-strengthening effect of the body- Body Tempering Liquid gradually decreases. Once the Body Tempering Liquid has completely lost its effect, its use can be discontinued.

Beside them, the Great Demon Hound Doudou rolled around on the ground, bored. "Didn't they say the Medicine Master would be back soon? Why isn't he back yet?"

"The amnesia case at the Medicine Master's place was quite troublesome, which delayed my return." Song Shuhang pinched his nose and, after the Body Tempering Liquid cooled down, drank it all in one gulp.

"Every time I see you drinking Body Tempering Liquid, I feel sorry for your stomach. It's such a stinky stuff, how can you drink it?" Demon Dog Doudou got up from the ground.

"Actually, apart from the stench, it tastes pretty good. Do you want some?" Song Shuhang.

"I wouldn't even take it for free. I much prefer the Medicine Master's 'Little Dumplings,' and beef-flavored dog food tastes better than yours. I'm so bored, I can't live like this anymore. Give me some fun!" It then lay down on the ground and rolled around.

"Aren't you going back to the True Lord Yellow Mountain?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled.

"I'll wait for him to come find me. Woof~ Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for me to just go back by myself," said the Pekingese Doudou with a haughty air. Then, it suddenly remembered something and ran to the side to turn on Song Shuhang's computer. In order to make it easier for the demon dog Doudou to play games, Song Shuhang had no choice but to move the computer to the Medicine Master's building.

"Shuhang, come quick, log into your chat account!" Doudou called out, bouncing around.

I haven't even teased True Lord Yellow Mountain yet today. Every day I tease him a few times, only to get banned by True Lord Yellow Mountain. This has become an indispensable part of Doudou's daily life.

Song Shuhang logged into his account casually.

Nine Provinces Number One Group

Overwhelmed by the pressure of studying. "@Huangshan True Lord Yellow Mountain, Yellow Mountain, I'm back again! When are you coming to take me back? I'm so bored!"

"No time, come back yourself!" True Lord Yellow Mountain replied.

The pressure from the mountain of books was immense. "Yellow Mountain Big Fool, how embarrassing would it be if I went back by myself? Come and drag me back, drag me back now!"

"No time." True Lord Yellow Mountain repeated those two words, and then casually banned Song Shuhang's account.

"Ugh, would it kill you to talk to me a little longer!" Doudou started rolling around on the ground again.

About three minutes later, True Lord Yellow Mountain spoke up, "Little Doudou, go and call my friend Shuhang. I need to speak with him!"

"Shuhang, Yellow Mountain Big Fool wants you to come over, he has something to say." Doudou exclaimed excitedly.

"Is True Lord White about to emerge from seclusion?" Song Shuhang went to the computer, opened True Lord Yellow Mountain's private chat window, and sent a question mark.

Judging by the time, it should be around the time when True Lord White emerges from seclusion.

Doudou, watching from the side, suddenly had a bright idea. "I completely forgot about the private chat function! Woof woof, let's see how Yellow Mountain can silence me now!"

"Young friend Shuhang, I received Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission from True Lord White. He will end his seclusion tomorrow night. I will send you the address in a moment, and you can go and pick him up," said True Lord Yellow Mountain.

"It really is True Lord White," Song Shuhang said with a smile. "Alright, please send me the address, True Lord. I'll go pick him up tomorrow night."

"The approximate address is Lin Yao Village in Nanhua Lake City. Today I'll also send you a Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission artifact. After you arrive at your destination tomorrow night, you can use the artifact to contact True Lord White and find his secluded cultivation location."

"Okay!" Song Shuhang replied.

I'm a little nervous; tomorrow I'll be able to visit the place where True Lord White is in seclusion.

I wonder what True Lord White's secluded cultivation location looks like? It must be a very secluded place, with at least hundreds of layers of defensive formations above it, right?

Because the Lay Buddhist Xian Gong, who survived even a nuclear weapon attack in the group space, had set up hundreds of defensive formations in his secluded retreat.

That's something to look forward to!
