Flying Sword 005: Improved and Upgraded Again!
Song Shuhang decided to sound out Venerable White. He felt that with his small frame, he was simply not up to the task of experiencing the wildness of the new version of the ' Disposable Flying Sword 005'—he had just witnessed the trajectory of Senior Copper Trigram's flight through the air. Imagining the 'Paratrooper-Style Descent' of the Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version, along with the bungee-jumping thrill... no way, it would kill him.
However, Song Shuhang wouldn't be foolish enough to directly ask Venerable White, "Senior, is this Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version going to send me to the heavens?"
Therefore, we must probe indirectly, that is, cautiously test the waters while also making bold assumptions!
First of all... assuming that Senior White really intended to send him to heaven using the disposable Flying Sword 005 Edition, there must be a reason. He must have done something stupid at some point and been discovered by Senior White.
Considering that Senior White suddenly grabbed his hair and styled it into pigtails yesterday, it's very likely that this was a clue to the incident where he and Soft Feather dressed Senior White up in various pigtails, hairstyles, and expressions.
The way it was exposed... is most likely the file package in Soft Feather's group chat space. So, we need to find a way to log into the Nine Provinces Number One Group to check and confirm the situation.
Song Shuhang's own phone was a regular domestic large-screen phone, which couldn't access the internet in the Eastern Sea. Furthermore, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master had already been sent thousands of miles away by Senior White. Therefore, if he wanted to access the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group,' he had no choice but to borrow Venerable White's phone.
"Senior White, can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Song Shuhang gave what he considered to be the most natural, gentle, and harmless smile.
At this moment, Venerable White was taking over the barbecue grill from Copper Trigram Immortal Master. Copper Trigram Immortal Master had already prepared the seasonings, oils, and other ingredients. Senior White only needed to control the heat and cook the food on the grill.
"Borrow my phone?" Venerable White turned around, smiled slightly, and asked, "What do you need it for?"
"It's like this, I seemed to have a fortuitous encounter while I was on the Mysterious Island." As he spoke, Song Shuhang took out the packet of 'Dragonbone Withered Vine' from his 'Rabbit Pocket' and said, "There are Sixteen Dragonbone Withered Vine in total, so I want to contact Senior Su Clan’s Seven and ask him to come and get these Dragonbone Withered Vine. Sixteen's injuries need them!"
That's a fantastic reason, flawless!
"Hmm, I understand... However, let me contact Fellow A-Qi for you." Venerable White nodded, took a step back, and pointed to the barbecue grill, saying, "Shuhang, you use the 'Fire-Control Art' to control the heat. It'll be a good opportunity for me to see your current level of 'Fire-Control Art.' If you reach the standard, we can learn how to refine 'Blood Qi Pill' later."
After speaking, Venerable White silently took out his phone. He even turned around and swiped on the phone from an angle that Song Shuhang couldn't see.
Song Shuhang: "..."
He took over the barbecue grill and used the "Fire-Control Art" to control the heat, but his heart was being pounded by waves.
It's over! It's over! It's all over!
Senior White's attitude clearly indicates he doesn't want him to touch the phone! There must be something wrong with the phone, no... there must be a big problem in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
In other words, the Venerable White's Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version, was originally prepared for me! It just so happened that Senior Copper Trigram Immortal Master was courting death as usual and took the fall for me.
But there is only one Senior Copper Trigram, who survived one calamity but cannot save Song Shuhang from another!
What to do, what to do?
I need to think of a way to cheer Senior White up... Maybe if he's in a better mood, he'll let me off the hook?
Even if it's the worst, we must find a way to replace the Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version with the regular 004 Edition. The functions of version 005 are simply too terrifying.
Song Shuhang's mind started working frantically.
Beside him, Venerable White opened the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
The chat Nine Provinces Number One Group was still flooded with messages. The fellow cultivators in the group noticed that Venerable White was not online and did not seem angry, so they flooded the chat even more recklessly.
More and more fellow cultivators in the group have changed their profile pictures to those of Venerable White.
The Venerable White's lips curled into an unfathomable smile before he clicked on Su Clan’s Seven's profile picture.
Su Clan’s Seven's profile picture... has also been changed in a trendy way, to the 'Senior White's Sigh' emoticon.
A-Qi is also chatting in the group now, but he's not doing it aimlessly. He's asking the other members if anyone still has 'Dragonbone Withered Vine'.
He urgently needs a large quantity of Dragonbone Withered Vine.
Just then, A-Qi suddenly received a private message.
When he saw the private message from the sender, he instinctively shuddered—it was from Venerable White!
Oh no, I mean it's all over! The Venerable White actually messaged him privately?!
Su Clan’s Seven cautiously opened the chat window.
Venerable White: "Fellow Daoist A-Qi... do you want Dragonbone Withered Vine? If you do, I can give you all of them. Come find me; I currently have 16 Dragonbone Withered Vine!"
Swift, efficient, and direct! The 16 withered Dragonbone Withered Vine struck at Su Clan’s Seven's weak spot; he desperately needed Dragonbone Withered Vine right now.
So, without hesitation, he replied, "Senior White, where are you now?"
"I'm on a small island in the Eastern Sea. I'll send you the coordinates," Venerable White replied.
Then, he sent Su Clan’s Seven a coordinate.
Su Clan’s Seven: "Received, Senior White. I'll ride as fast as I can to your place right away!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Venerable White: "By the way, your new profile picture is nice. [Smiling emoji] See you on the island then, bye-bye."
A-Qi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, which he couldn't stop.
Why did I have to change my profile picture like that...? Even though Senior White posted a smiling emoji, I still have a feeling that a terrifying future is looming over me.
So, should we go to that deserted island?
The answer is yes—he must go. Even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, he'll brave it.
With a determined look, Su Clan’s Seven put away his phone, and the Houtian, landing at his feet.
"Let's go, our target is Senior White!" A-Qi headed towards the isolated island...
************************
"Alright, I've informed Fellow A-Qi Aqi for you. He'll be here soon," Venerable White said to Song Shuhang with a smile.
Song Shuhang gave a clean smile, "Thank you, senior."
"You're welcome." Senior White seemed to be in a good mood. He reached for two skewers of wild game and vegetables from the barbecue grill. "I'll go prepare some gifts to welcome A-Qi when he comes over later. You continue barbecuing. Your 'Fire-Control Art' is going well; it's already showing promise. Keep it up, and we can start refining Blood Qi Pill later."
After saying that, Senior White took a small bite of the wild game skewer and leisurely walked towards the woods. Judging from his expression, it seemed he was going to choose a good-looking branch?
If Senior White is choosing tree branches... then the only option seems to be making Disposable Flying Sword!
Song Shuhang's eyes welled up slightly. "After Senior Copper Trigram Immortal Master, is it really my turn now?"
--No, these aren't tears, they're just from the smoke from the barbecue.
No, I need to pull myself together!
Before Senior White gives me a "Go You"... I have to think of a way to make Senior White happy.
Song Shuhang's brain started working frantically.
Think about it, what does Senior White like to do, what makes him happy?
For example, dismantling electrical appliances? Eating bayberries? Racing cars? Flying swords? Secluded cultivation? All sorts of mysterious and strange things? Disposable Flying Sword 'whoosh' into space? Sinking to the seabed? A volcanic hot spring sauna?
Wait, what am I thinking about next? Song Shuhang shook his head vigorously, trying to banish the terrifying options from his mind.
These are all impractical!
Or, how about we tell Senior White a few jokes to cheer him up?
Song Shuhang had read many books, but when asked to come up with a joke right away, he couldn't think of one.
In the woods... Senior White hummed a song, shaved off a branch of excellent quality, and began to carve. Soon, he carved out the prototype of a 'Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version'.
The 005 and 004 Edition also differ slightly in the blade; the 005 version's blade is slightly arched and has a curve...
Oh no, oh no! What do I do? My phone has no internet, so he can't even say "Waiting online, it's urgent."
Soon, Senior White had already inscribed an array on the blade of the Disposable Flying Sword.
Two minutes later, a brand new Disposable Flying Sword 005 Version, appeared in the hands of Venerable White.
"Done, complete. The Spiral Ascension function has been added, the arc of the curved flight has been enhanced, and a 'meteor' light effect is added during flight. It's like a meteor streaking across the sky. Let's differentiate this improved version from the Disposable Flying Sword series and call it 'Disposable Meteor Sword 001'!" Venerable White raised the wooden sword in his hand and murmured, "Let's see the effect in a bit. If it's good, we can have meteor Shower!"
On the sword, one could faintly see a shooting star-like glint.
This flying sword must look amazing when it takes flight...
Because his Ear Aperture had been awakened, Song Shuhang heard every word of Senior White's mutterings.
Song Shuhang felt his legs were going weak.
It's upgraded again, and it's become even more terrifying... It's not as good as when Senior Copper Trigram's 005 sent him to heaven.
************************
On the other side, on an island in the Pacific Ocean.
The old professor, Tubo, Gao Moumou, the Zhuge siblings, the Lu Fei sisters, and everyone else finally got up. Yesterday, a whole plane of passengers held that book of the Analects and, with the old professor at the center, devised an efficient teaching method.
"Let's get started. Today's goal is to first understand the students' level of mastery of 'Chinese characters.' Only after knowing the students' level can we tailor our teaching accordingly," the old professor said.
They plan to randomly select a portion of the primitive population for a small test to assess their mastery of 'Chinese characters'.
According to the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman, these primitive people had learned the 'Three Character Classic', and almost every primitive person could recite it, and most of them could even write it from memory.
One hour later.
The old professor, Tubo, Gao Moumou, and others stared blankly at the collected exam papers.
Can anyone tell them which country's 'Chinese characters' these primitive people are writing? They're all scribbles, even more chaotic than cursive script, completely unrecognizable...
This isn't the Three Character Classic at all; it's more like drawing talismans! It's definitely drawing talismans!
