"Huh?" Song Shuhang looked down at his chest again... and then saw his Spirit Ghost making a 'sucking' motion, with a 'hiss' sound, as if something was being sucked into the Spirit Ghost's mouth like noodles.

The Spirit Ghost absorbed the food so quickly that Song Shuhang couldn't even see what it had eaten.

At the same time, because of his ability to empathize, Song Shuhang felt a slippery sensation in his throat, as if he had swallowed some refreshing jelly, and it tasted quite good?

"Hey, hey, hey, what did you just eat?" Song Shuhang called out hurriedly.

He knew that his Spirit Ghost had some special characteristics after its mutation. For example, it would sometimes devour curses and would also actively devour vengeful spirits.

What did it eat just now? It wasn't some kind of Resentful Ghost or something, was it? If it was a ghost, I can't quite accept that.

The Spirit Ghost conveyed a thought—delicious, very delicious food.

Song Shuhang: "..."

That refreshing taste... did I really eat something spiritual again? It seems I need to adapt to and master the 'sensory sharing' with Spirit Ghost as soon as possible. At least I need to cut off the 'sensory sharing' when Spirit Ghost are feeding.

"Are you hungry?" Song Shuhang sighed, then opened his 'Inch-Shrinking Bag', took out a few Soul Pearl, and fed them to the Spirit Ghost.

The feeling of Spirit Ghost eating Soul Pearl is roughly the same as the feeling of a person eating chocolate beans.

Meanwhile, when Venerable Spirit Butterfly looked at Song Shuhang's 'rabbit bag', a strange look of satisfaction appeared on her face once again.

"Does Soft Feather want some?" Song Shuhang handed a few more Soul Pearl to Soft Feather.

"What is this?" Soft Feather asked curiously as she took the Soul Pearl. As she spoke, she prepared to put the Soul Pearl in her mouth to taste it.

"Wait... this isn't for you to eat." Song Shuhang quickly stopped her. "This is Soul Pearl, it should be able to serve as food for Spirit Ghost?"

Song Shuhang wasn't too sure, because his own Spirit Ghost was mutated... and he didn't know if other people's Spirit Ghost would like 'Soul Pearl' as food?

Soft Feather summoned her Spirit Ghost and handed the Spirit Ghost Soul Pearl to it. Her Spirit Ghost first carefully touched the Soul Pearl, and then opened its mouth and swallowed the Soul Pearl.

After swallowing the Soul Pearl, her Spirit Ghost shrank back into her body and began to digest the energy within the Soul Pearl.

"Chocolate flavor." Soft Feather smacked her lips, her senses already shared with the Spirit Ghost: "Does Senior have any more?"

"There are still some, but I didn't bring many with me this time. I'll send some to you by express delivery when I get back," Song Shuhang replied.

"Okay, senior. I'll give you the mailing address and the contact information for our Spirit Butterfly Island's dedicated courier later," Soft Feather said with a grin.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly on the side. "..."

If this young friend Song finds out about the courier service, wouldn't he often send things to Soft Feather?

After returning to Spirit Butterfly Island, it's time to consider moving the Spirit Butterfly Island to a slightly different location. To maintain Spirit Butterfly Island's mystique, he relocates it approximately every hundred years.

In the Magma Cavern

The matter concerning 'Master' and the <Sword Formula> has come to an end.

"Senior White, shall we go set up the track next?" Song Shuhang put away the four <Sword Formula> scrolls.

The secret within has been revealed... The <Sword Formula> scroll is of little use to them now; they'll find an opportunity to return it to the Chu Household.

Furthermore, Song Shuhang had completely given up hope of his swordsmanship aptitude. He simply couldn't glean his own swordsmanship from the painting.

It seems he is destined to be unrelated to this Sword Formula.

At this moment, Venerable White smiled slightly and said, "Well, before we leave, we should return the <Sword Formula> diagram to its rightful owner."

With that, Venerable White turned his head and looked at a blind spot above the Magma Cavern, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chu, come out. We have no ill intentions towards the Chu Household, nor do we have any intention of seizing the Chu Household's <Sword Formula>."

No sooner had Venerable White finished speaking than Chu Kangbo, the patriarch of the Chu Household, awkwardly appeared at that spot in the Magma Cavern.

Then he approached the two Venerable, Liu Jianyi, Song Shuhang, and Soft Feather, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Chu Kangbo greets the two seniors, fellow Daoists, and young friends."

As he bowed, his gaze fell on the Ancient Copper Ring on Song Shuhang's finger, and he sighed softly.

After receiving the message from 'Chu Chu', Chu Kangbo rushed out on horseback and followed the traces left by 'Master' all the way to this Magma Cavern.

He arrived shortly after, just in time to overhear Song Shuhang unraveling the secrets of the 'scroll' and discussing news of his old friend 'Li Tiansu' with the two Venerable.

When he heard the news that 'Li Tiansu' had died, he was completely stunned... The powerful Fellow Li Tiansu had actually died and disappeared.

"Is this a senior member of the Chu Household?" Song Shuhang had just missed the scene of Chu Kangbo's participation in the battle at Immortal Severing Platform, so he did not know that he was the ancestor of the Chu Household.

Furthermore, Song Shuhang's voice had returned to normal by now—otherwise, if Chu Kangbo had heard him make the sound "Chu Chu," who knows what he would have imagined?

Chu Kangbo nodded to Song Shuhang and said in a refined manner, "I am the grandfather of the current patriarch of the Chu Household."

Song Shuhang felt a bit of a sore throat when he heard him speak like that.

"You've come at the right time, sir. This is the Chu Household's <Sword Formula>, now it's returned to its rightful owner intact." Song Shuhang handed over the four scrolls to Chu Kangbo.

"I am deeply grateful, and the entire Chu Household will always remember your great kindness, young friend." Chu Kangbo solemnly accepted the four scrolls.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a small ancient book from his pocket and handed it to Song Shuhang.

The four scrolls of the "Sword Formula" were already the lifeblood of the Chu Household. Song Shuhang's return of these scrolls to him was an immense favor, and Chu Kangbo had to show his gratitude in some way.

Otherwise, wouldn't he appear very impolite in front of these two senior figures?

Therefore, Chu Kangbo thought of an ancient book in his arms. This ancient book was what he had obtained when he and his fellow Daoist 'Li Tiansu' ventured into the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

This is a powerful sword technique; its creator has reached the pinnacle of skill in a particular area of swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, the ancient book he obtained was incomplete, with only the first three sword techniques remaining.

"Young friend, Chu Household will forever remember your great kindness. If you ever need our help in the future, we will go through fire and water for you. I don't have any good gifts, only this incomplete sword technique manual, which I offer as a token of our greeting. I hope you will accept it," said Chu Kangbo.

[Sword... sword technique.] Song Shuhang's lips twitched involuntarily, but seeing Chu Kangbo's expectant expression, he still accepted the sword technique book.

He returned the Chu Household's "Sword Formula" and ultimately received a knife technique in return.

Is this truly fate?

Song Shuhang casually flipped open the book on swordsmanship.

The name of the sword technique is very cool; it's called "Reverse Scale Saber Technique".

Dragons have scales that provoke their anger; touching them will surely enrage them. Could this be a system that builds up rage before unleashing a powerful attack?

Thinking about it, Song Shuhang opened the sword technique book with great interest... Then, he discovered that the sword technique and the sword name were completely different.

There are three styles of swordsmanship: Dragon Dance Form, Dragon Scale Form, and Inverse Scale Form.

The names alone sound amazing; they're miles better than basic punches and such!

Song Shuhang finally didn't have to worry anymore. In the future, when he dueled with others, they would let out a long roar, "Flying Heavenly Flying Immortal!" Then he would throw a punch and shout, "Foundation Fist Form One!" The move name was too low-class, and he would lose 5 points of his warrior's energy before even fighting.

However, these three sword techniques are somewhat strange.

Their attack power is 0.

Yes, all three sword techniques are defensive. The sword Dragon Dance, impervious to all evil. The sword techniques form dragon scales, protecting the entire body; the sword is like a reverse scale, the strongest defensive move!

Could it be that the predecessors who created these sword techniques had too much imagination and went astray? The sword is the overlord of weapons, primarily for offense, with enormous destructive power.

However, the first three moves of this "Reverse Scale Saber Technique" are all defensive blade techniques.

Do you want to conquer countless battlefields without ever being defeated?

Do you want to proudly tell people, "In my entire life, I have never been defeated"? The <Reverse Scale Saber Technique> is for you.

Although... after you've bragged to someone, you still have to add in your mind: you haven't won a single victory!

With a sigh, Song Shuhang put away the copy of "The Reverse Scale Saber Technique".

As he put away his sword technique, Song Shuhang suddenly thought of something—when he was looking at this sword technique scroll just now, he always had a feeling of 'natural ease', without the slightest bit of awkwardness.

When Mingming describes the sword techniques and their formulas, he uses a writing style similar to classical Chinese.

[Ah, am I truly destined to be a swordsman for life? Is the title of "Overlord Blade Song Three" beckoning him?]

Song Shuhang Orz.

At this moment, Chu Kangbo, the patriarch of the Chu family, pondered for a moment and then spoke up, "Furthermore... regarding the forbidden area discovered by my friend, Fellow Daoist Li Tiansu, I can tell you two seniors and fellow Daoists the exact location of the forbidden area."

"Oh?" Venerable White smiled slightly, "Then, what are your requirements?"

"I have only one request," Chu Kangbo suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, saying forcefully, "My friend, Li Tiansu, had a daughter who suffered from a strange illness. Her body constantly generated icy energy, and if left untreated, it would freeze her entire body, turning her into an ice statue."

"Fellow Li Tiansu's lifelong wish is to find a way to completely cure his daughter's Cold Illness. Fellow Daoist Li suspects that the method to cure his daughter should be found within that Forbidden Land. If you seniors can find a cure for this Cold Illness within the Forbidden Land, please grant Fellow Li Tiansu's daughter's wish. I, Chu, will be eternally grateful."

Oh, so that's the problem.

"I understand," Venerable White said calmly. "If there is a cure, I will bring it back."

Back then, when Venerable White asked the flying corpse 'Li Tiansu' for his name, he had already accepted Li Tiansu's Cause and Effect.
