The Terrifying Branch-Finding Method
When the four acupoints of the First-Grade Realm, the cultivator will gain at least one talent... and some lucky ones will have the opportunity to gain two acupoint talents.
Song Shuhang had awakened his talent in the Eye Aperture, but not in the Nose Aperture.
I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to awaken the corresponding talents when I Ear Aperture and finally the Mouth Aperture?
"More than a month has passed since I started cultivating. Before I knew it, I was about to open my Ear Aperture. Looking back, it feels like a dream," Song Shuhang exclaimed.
The seniors in the group all said that it was extremely difficult to cultivate alone, but he encountered Soft Feather, then the Medicine Master, then Su Clan’s Sixteen, and then Senior White along the way. His cultivation path was surprisingly smooth, and he was no worse than the elite disciples in the sect.
Inside the pocket, the Onion Lady on the Enlightenment Stone had already fainted from crying... In just over a month, she had already cultivated to the point of needing to break through to the Ear Aperture Realm?
And she, after more than 300 years, finally managed to open her Three-Aperture Nose Aperture... and opening her Ear Aperture is still a long way off!
At the same time, the thought that Song Shuhang was able to break through his Nose Aperture and fill his Ear Aperture with Blood Qi in one go because he ate her scallion sprouts made her want to cry even more.
She's aiding the enemy!
Ugh, I feel like crying, what should I do?
***************************
July 13th, Saturday, light rain.
Song Shuhang in a clearing in the mountains, his hands slightly raised, his eyes closed, carefully feeling the subtle sound of raindrops falling on his palms!
And there was the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves...
The melodious calls of various birds...
The faint chirping of insects in the jungle...
The sound of small animals darting through the bushes...
Even in the soil, there were sounds of creatures burrowing...
All the sounds intertwined in Song Shuhang's ears, forming a beautiful symphony of nature. He listened to this wonderful sound and unknowingly became immersed in it.
He was able to hear these sounds because his Ear Aperture had been activated.
After today's cultivation ended, just as Song Shuhang had predicted, the Blood Qi in his Ear Aperture overflowed, breaking through the bottleneck in his Ear Aperture in an instant. In that instant, it was as if someone with hearing loss had suddenly regained their hearing. All sorts of sounds that he had never heard before entered his ears.
Opening the Ear Aperture is not simply about amplifying sound.
To Song Shuhang, the voices of ordinary people sounded no different than usual, only clearer, but not deafening... The opening of his Ear Aperture allowed him to hear many sounds that normal people couldn't hear, even some special sound waves!
The sounds from nature are so beautiful they're captivating.
It's just a bit of a shame—he still hasn't unlocked his Ear Aperture Talent.
However, he still has a chance. He still has Mouth Aperture Mouth Aperture Talent for it.
Song Shuhang felt he was a lucky person!
Moreover, even if he didn't awaken the Mouth Aperture Talent, he at least awakened a decent Eye Aperture Talent, so there's no need to be disappointed.
For a long, long time...
Only when Song Shuhang's clothes were completely soaked did he reluctantly emerge from his surreal state.
At this time, Shuhang was unaware that listening to the sounds of nature was extremely beneficial to cultivators, especially in terms of improving their mental state and spiritual power.
His decision to break through the bottleneck of his Ear Aperture in the mountains was, unintentionally, an incredibly correct one.
"My Ear Aperture has improved; we're setting off for the resort island in the Eastern Sea tomorrow." With that, Song Shuhang pulled out his phone to check; there was still no news from Venerable White. "Could it be that even Senior White hasn't found Doudou this quickly?"
Did Doudou and the others hide so well this time?
"If Venerable White can't bring Doudou and the others back tonight, then we'll have to wait until we get to the resort island to meet up with them." Song Shuhang put his phone back in his pocket.
Then, he took out the Enlightenment Stone from his pocket and looked at the Onion Lady on it.
The tender shoots of the Onion Lady are only the size of a fingernail.
"The Ear Aperture are open; next comes the Mouth Aperture."
"Even if I eat it, it can't immediately fill my Mouth Aperture Blood Qi, right?" Song Shuhang murmured.
Moreover, without any seniors around, eating the tender shoots of the Onion Lady is a dangerous thing to do—wait a minute!
Was I just seriously considering the topic of 'whether or not to eat Onion Lady '?
That's a really dangerous idea.
At that moment... Onion Lady's body trembled slightly on the Enlightenment Stone.
"Please... please stop eating me!" Onion Lady cried out. Even she felt pain when she was being cut with a knife.
Song Shuhang exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You can talk now?"
"I can! I can! Suddenly I can speak!" Onion Lady said, "Please don't eat me, okay? If you don't eat me, I can give you a scroll of the 'Buddhist Sect Lion's Roar Technique'! Didn't you want to Mouth Aperture? The Lion's Roar's Roar Technique is related to the Mouth Aperture. If you start practicing it, it will greatly help you open your Mouth Aperture!"
"Oh?" Song Shuhang smiled but remained silent.
"A deal? If you promise not to cut my scallion sprouts anymore, I'll give you that scroll of 'Buddhist Sect Lion's Roar Technique' right away, okay?" Onion Lady asked hopefully.
"Okay." Song Shuhang replied with a smile—he hadn't planned to eat Onion Lady's scallion sprouts in the first place. The thought that she was Onion Spirit who could transform into a young girl made him feel guilty about eating her scallion sprouts.
***************************
Meanwhile, Venerable White was tracking Doudou and the little monk.
He flew straight in one direction, and Venerable White seemed very confident that he could track down Doudou and the little monk.
Because he possesses a terrifying, unique tracking method!
As they flew, the Venerable White descended from the sky.
Then, he randomly picked a forked branch and tossed it into the air.
After spinning Sixteen times, the branch landed, with the forked end pointing steadily to the southwest.
"Oh, the southwest?" Venerable White nodded secretly, reactivating his Escape Light and flying south without hesitation...
This is Tyrant tracking technique unique to Venerable White.
No matter how skilled the person being tracked is at counter-tracking, they will be exposed by Venerable White's Tyrant 'Branch-Finding Method'! Even if you erase all your movement traces, it won't help—because Venerable White doesn't even look at your tracks.
However, this method of exploration is only valid for use by Venerable White; it is ineffective for others.
Moreover... this tracking method also has a minor drawback.
For example, if the person being tracked suddenly changes direction and flees for their life while the Venerable White is following the direction indicated by the tree branch, and the Venerable White happens not to use the 'Branch-Finding Method' again along the way, he might end up going too far astray along the initial direction and getting further and further astray.
This mistake can only be corrected when Venerable White uses the ' Branch-Finding Method again. At that time, he will have to turn around and chase in another direction, which will waste some time.
But no matter what, with this terrifying 'tracking' method, finding Doudou and the little monk is only a matter of time!
***************************
July 14th, Sunday, Sunny
The Venerable White, Doudou, and the little monk have not returned.
After Soft Feather went to help her best friend, there has been no response yet.
Song Shuhang unzipped his sports wristband, glanced at the 3D Diamond Calabash Brother tattoo on it, and then saw a woman's bracelet next to the Calabash Brothers tattoo.
He quietly put his wristband back on; he would be embarrassed if his friends saw it.
However, with these two items, both Venerable White and Soft Feather will have his coordinates. When he arrives at the resort island in the Eastern Sea, Senior White and Soft Feather will be able to find him easily.
The only thing to worry about is that the phones need to be turned off on the plane.
What if Venerable White and Soft Feather try to contact him then? And if they can't get through... what if Senior White suddenly shoots Doudou and the little monk over with a Disposable Flying Sword?
The plane will be shot down, won't it?
The same applies to Soft Feather's side. If the "Ten Thousand Myriad-Mile Escape Technique" crashes into them and leaves a huge hole in the plane, then things will get really messed up.
"If my senior and Soft Feather haven't replied to my message before I board the plane, I'll give them a call to let them know. I absolutely must avoid either of these two situations," Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang.
It was a call from Gao Moumou.
"Shuhang, are you still home? Zhuge Zhongyang has already sent someone to pick you up, and we're about to leave," Gao Moumou said.
"Everything's ready. I'm just waiting for you to come and pick me up," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
His luggage consisted of a small backpack containing tens of thousands of yuan in cash, and the Shatter, invisible sword.
On his finger he wore the Ancient Copper Ring, and around his neck hung the 'Azure Wind Acceleration' amulet. In his pocket were the last Sword Talisman, eight Evil-Repelling Talisman, as well as Blood-Qi Pill, Body Tempering Liquid, and Grain-Repelling Pill.
Everything is ready.
"Wait downstairs at your place, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Gao Moumou complained, "Besides, didn't you say you were going to bring several friends? How come you're the only one left? Don't be shy, bring all your friends! Don't worry about the money!"
"Hehe, some of my friends just had something come up, but they might just go directly to the resort island and meet up with us then," Song Shuhang replied with a smile.
Gao Moumou said a few more regretful words and then hung up the phone.
I never imagined that in the end... I would be setting off alone.
Song Shuhang slung his backpack over his shoulder, walked out of the room, and called out to his Mom Song, who was watching TV in the living room, "Mom, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road. If Miss Soft Feather comes to visit, be sure to bring her to our house for a few days after you've had your fun!" said Mom Song.
"I've got it." Song Shuhang waved and smiled.
Speaking of Soft Feather... When Soft Feather sent herself to me the day before yesterday, when I met her, I kept feeling a cool sensation on the back of my neck, like someone was blowing cold air on the back of my neck, or like something was staring at the back of my neck. I don't know what it was.
