You Have to Pay Me, Onion Lady!

Song Shuhang briefly explained to Venerable White what had happened in the past two days.

Starting with the "Cloud and Daoist Cloudmist Incident" after Venerable White began his seclusion, followed by the "Hand-held Tractor Accident Incident," the "Meteorite Explosion Incident with Hand-held Tractor Explosion," the "Appearance of the Enlightenment Stone," the "Onion Lady Snatching the Enlightenment Stone Incident," and finally the "Three-Hundred-Year-Old Onion Spirit Stir-fried Mutton Incident."

"So much has happened in the two days I've been in seclusion? You've had quite an eventful two days," Senior White said, then suddenly a look of heartache appeared on his face. "Wait, you just said the hand-operated tractor exploded?"

"Because the hand tractor was also affected by the blast wave when the meteorite suddenly exploded." Song Shuhang apologetically, then comforted him, "It's alright, senior. If you really like the hand tractor, we can ask True Lord Yellow Mountain for one later! I think Senior Yellow Mountain can definitely get another one exactly the same."

"That makes sense... By the way, we can ask for a few more!" Senior White's eyes lit up.

The hand-held tractor was his favorite mode of transportation, especially when it was started up. The tractor head would vibrate, and the Venerable White felt like he was going to have a blast.

Shuhang asked in confusion, "Why do you need a few more cars?"

"Hmm, I suddenly remembered the cultivators' 'Flying Sword Race', and then I was thinking, maybe I could find a few fellow cultivators to organize a 'Hand Tractor Race'. Everyone could be given a hand-held tractor, modify it themselves, and then compete to see who is faster. That should be very interesting," Senior White said, stroking his chin.

"..." Song Shuhang quietly turned his head away, not wanting Senior White to see his current expression—just thinking about the scene of a group of ＠＃％×Fairy, Daoist priests, and masters driving hand tractors at hundreds of miles per hour on the main road, Song Shuhang didn't know what kind of expression to use to show his current turbulent inner world.

"Have True Lord Yellow Mountain prepare thirty or forty tractors later. I've been out of seclusion for quite some time now, it's time to find an opportunity to gather the remaining fellow Daoists who are still alive. The Hand Tractor Race should be a good opportunity," Venerable White decided.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Venerable White is serious! The scene he imagined in his mind might very well come true!

Hopefully, they'll choose a secluded spot for the match.

Otherwise, if they get caught by the traffic police... imagine the psychological trauma the officers will feel seeing a group of Daoist priests, Buddhist monks, beautiful women in ancient costumes, and perhaps even people dressed as ancient scholars speeding along on hand tractors.

"The matter of the hand tractor is settled then, and now let's talk about this Enlightenment Stone. Is this little tender scallion on it the Onion Spirit with three hundred years of cultivation that you mentioned?" Venerable White flicked the Onion Spirit lightly with his finger.

The Onion Spirit's scallion leaves twitched slightly—when she was in Song Shuhang's pocket, she had secretly peeked out to watch what was happening outside.

At that moment, she clearly saw the powerful senior in front of her annihilate a Second-Grade Cultivator with a mere flick of his palm—that Second-Grade Cultivator was reduced to a pile of golden sand. Just thinking about that scene made her feel weak.

"It is that little Onion Spirit," Song Shuhang.

"This little Onion Spirit is quite interesting... You were able to fill your Ear Aperture with Blood Qi in one go because you ate its scallion leaves, right? In that case, nurture it well! Once your Ear Aperture are opened, this little scallion should have grown a bit more. At that time, just pick its scallion leaves and consume it again to fill your Mouth Aperture with Blood Qi in one go. Even if it's not full yet, you can fill them up after consuming it a few more times. It's a treasure!" Senior White said to Song Shuhang with a smile.

Onion Lady suddenly felt everything go black...

"Actually, I originally wanted Senior White to seal away the Onion Spirit's memories of the 'Enlightenment Stone' and then let her leave. This Onion Spirit... has a very tragic past, and it seems like she has had a very difficult life," Song Shuhang, his kind-hearted nature kicking in.

When Onion Lady heard this, her eyes lit up!

"However, this Onion Spirit seems to have grown onto the Enlightenment Stone ...it can't be pulled out. If I try to pull it out by force, I'm afraid I'll damage its roots, and then it will really die," Song Shuhang sighed.

When Onion Lady heard this, her eyes immediately welled up with tears—why had she been so stupid that day to climb onto the Enlightenment Stone in Song Shuhang's other pocket? Now look what happened, she'd grown onto it.

"Taking root in the Enlightenment Stone is also a blessing for her," Venerable White said. "Until a solution is found, you should nurture her well for a while... The Enlightenment Stone will greatly benefit her future. Then, consider the green leaves she grows over time as her reward for taking root in the Enlightenment Stone!"

Onion Lady's vision went black again—in the end, was she still unable to escape the fate of being 'sliced and sliced'?

"Then, Shuhang, you said before that the meteorite in which the Enlightenment Stone is parasitized contains the sword energy of me and Daoist Cloudmist, right?" Venerable White gently stroked the Enlightenment Stone.

After detaching from the meteorite, the remaining aura of the Venerable White and the sword energy of the Daoist Cloudmist on the Enlightenment Stone were extremely weak and were still dissipating.

It is estimated that in another day or two, the Sword Intent of Venerable White and Daoist Cloudmist will completely dissipate.

"I was wondering, could it be Senior White after your Disposable Flying Sword was launched into space, it picked up some sword energy on the meteorite?" Song Shuhang speculated.

"It's not Disposable Flying Sword," Venerable White smiled. "Even the sword energy I unleash will leave a different aura due to the different techniques used. If I remember correctly, this sword energy is the aura of the 'Heavenly Roc Escape Technique.' I've never used that kind of Sword Escape on Disposable Flying Sword."

"The Heavenly Roc Escape Technique?" Song Shuhang felt the name sounded familiar. He thought for a moment and suddenly remembered, "The helicopter we used to rush into space last time?"

"Exactly." Venerable White nodded and said, "The Enlightenment Stone is a very strange kind of stone. Its energy is a different kind of energy that does not belong to the cultivation system. When it was hidden in a meteorite before it came into the world, even I could not detect its existence. I never expected that the meteorite I casually chose to rest and take a picture of would contain an Enlightenment Stone."

At this moment, Song Shuhang had only one thought in his mind: Venerable White's Fortune is truly defying the heavens!

"We have the Enlightenment Stone and the Onion Spirit. Young friend Shuhang, everything is ready. Cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the First-Grade Realm as soon as possible, Dragon Gate Leap, and transform from mortal to immortal," said Venerable White.

As he spoke, he glanced out the window, smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then gave a soft, cold snort.

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

On a rooftop outside the window, the Daoist Cloudmist broke out in a cold sweat.

"Have I been discovered?" he murmured. The way the Venerable White turned his head just now felt like he was being looked at.

Fortunately... he harbored no ill intentions.

Otherwise, the masked man who turned into golden sand earlier would have met the same fate as himself.

The masked man was only at the Second-Grade of cultivation, and the difference in strength between him and Venerable White was simply too great. The gap was so enormous that the masked man could not sense the terrifying power of Venerable White in seclusion.

Therefore, the masked man had the audacity to barge into Song Shuhang's room and seek his own death.

Upon reaching the level of the Daoist Cloudmist, one could already vaguely sense the terrifying power of the Venerable White.

"The Enlightenment Stone is out of the question for now... I'd better just buy a house near Song Shuhang's house and be their neighbor," Daoist Cloudmist thought to himself.

The Sword Pellet slid out from his sleeve, transforming into Escape Light. The Daoist Cloudmist stepped onto the Escape Light and flew towards the depths of Wenzhou City —he had no money... If he wanted to buy a house, he would have to find a way to get some money.

As for where to get the money? The members of the Empty Thieves' Sect never worry about not having a place to make money, they don't need to worry.

Not far behind the Daoist Cloudmist, in a shadowy corner, a figure lay limp on the ground, unable to even get up.

This was a slightly overweight middle-aged man; however, he was merely a manipulated puppet.

A tiny gold hairpin was pinned to the back of his head, almost invisible as it was hidden by his hair. It was a method of remotely controlling ordinary humans through magic.

"How terrifying. How could they detect my presence from such a distance? Luckily, I was using an ordinary mortal's body this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a simple Mental Intimidation, but a magical attack, or even a flying sword coming straight at me to take my head, right?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself.

Moreover, even though he used a mortal body as a puppet, the Mental Intimidation he just experienced almost shattered the mental power he used to control the slightly overweight middle-aged mortal, and even caused some impact on his own body.

"With such a powerful figure protecting him day and night, Jing Mo's failure was inevitable. But... is there still a chance to get the Blood God Diamond back?" the middle-aged man said with a wry smile.

He always felt that he had meticulously planned and schemed every step of the way, and that everything was under his control. All living beings were merely pawns in his game; even someone as powerful as Su Clan’s Seven was being used by him.

However, everything was disrupted after the "pressure from books" forcefully entered his game.

Now... he felt that his chances of getting the Blood God Diamond back were slim.

"But I won't give up so easily." The middle-aged man said softly... I am Gongzi Hai, the Eunuch Hai who will never give up until the very last moment! Bah, I am Never-Give-Up Hai!

He reached out and tore off a piece of white paper from his hand.

This is the "Limitless Pursuit Order" from the Limitless Demon Sect," similar to a wanted bounty, and the wanted person is "Book Mountain Pressure."

Of course, this Limitless Pursuit Order is fake... A powerful sect like the Limitless Demon Sect would never use a method like the 'Limitless Pursuit Order' to deal with First-Grade like Song Shuhang who hasn't even reached the first rank of cultivation.
