Everyone Gets a Share
Young Master Phoenix Slayer glanced at Song Shuhang, then pushed up his glasses. "I really do get carsick... It has nothing to do with my cultivation level. It's mainly because I experienced something very memorable when I was young... which has given me a phobia of all kinds of 'vehicles' to this day. No, I have to talk to Senior White, I absolutely don't want to participate in this competition!"
Just as Young Master Phoenix Slayer was speaking, Venerable White, riding the waves from afar, gracefully approached.
Venerable White waved to Master Profound Principle and his two companions from afar, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists!"
"Greetings Senior White!" Young Master Phoenix Slayer was the first to respond.
Song Shuhang noticed that when facing Venerable White, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's glasses no longer reflected any cold light.
Shuhang sensed that something was wrong with Young Master Phoenix Slayer's condition.
Master Profound Principle clasped his hands together and bowed to White Venerable.
Sunbreaker Halberd Guo Da, with a bright smile on his face, followed suit and bowed.
Since the racetrack was being set up, Venerable White got straight to the point.
"Actually, the reason I summoned you here is because I have something fun I'd like you all to participate in... I'd like to organize a fun 'Hand Tractor Race' here. True Lord Yellow Mountain has already brought many hand-held tractors. If you want to participate, feel free to modify your own hand-held tractor. No matter how you modify it, as long as it still falls within the 'hand-held tractor' category, you can participate," Venerable White explained in detail.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer a deep breath, seemingly gathering his courage to tell Venerable White that he was not planning to participate in the competition.
But then, Venerable White continued, "Then, the top five winners of this competition can come with me to explore a ruin. It's a ruin from the 'Previous Era'!"
Upon hearing this, both Master Profound Principle and Senior Guo Da showed expressions of interest. Perhaps the relics of Previous Era held the secrets to Longevity?
With the alternation between the old and new 'Heavenly Dao' and the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court, powerful figures with the Heavenly Mandate Talent of 'Longevity' have gone into seclusion and disappeared one by one, making the mystery of 'Longevity' even more mysterious.
If given the chance to learn the secrets of 'Longevity,' most of the fellow cultivators in the Nine Provinces Number One Group would not want to miss it.
Senior Guo Da laughed heartily, "Senior White, where are all the fellow cultivators in the group? How could the Hand Tractor Race be complete without me, Guo?"
Master Profound Principle smiled and nodded, clasping his hands together to indicate that he was also willing to participate.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer looked conflicted... He was very interested in the mysteries of 'Longevity'. However, he was genuinely allergic to vehicles like 'hand-held tractors'.
More importantly, he had finally mustered the courage to tell Senior White that he was refusing to participate in the competition, but Senior White's interruption had completely extinguished his courage.
Venerable White smiled, in high spirits. "Fellow Daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, you are all currently modifying hand tractors at the 'Chu Household' location. I will give you the coordinates; go there yourselves, then choose a hand tractor to modify and participate in the competition."
At this moment, Soft Feather raised her hand and said, "Senior White, I want to participate too! I want to go!"
"No problem!" Venerable White said.
"Then, Senior White, could you send me there with the 'Disposable Meteor Sword 001 Edition'? Everyone in the group has received their gifts and experienced the thrill of the Disposable Meteor Sword... but I haven't received my gift yet!" Soft Feather continued, raising her hand to call out.
Beside them, Master Profound Principle, Sunbreaker Halberd Guo Da, and Young Master Phoenix Slayer all froze. Oh, so the Disposable Flying Sword that flew over were actually the improved 'Disposable Meteor Sword' series. No wonder their functions were getting more and more terrifying, and they even had meteor effects.
But why did Venerable Spirit Butterfly's daughter volunteer to try the 'Disposable Meteor Sword'?
Venerable White: "..."
He looked at Soft Feather, whose face was full of eager anticipation, and felt a slightly complicated feeling.
At this moment, Venerable Spirit Butterfly also arrived, and said rather apologetically, "Fellow Daoist Bai, I failed to deliver the gift you gave to Soft Feather time, and ended up using it myself, hahaha. Um, if it's not too much trouble, could you please give Soft Feather another gift?"
Venerable White: "..."
Both the father and daughter thought the 'Disposable Meteor Sword' was a lot of fun.
Isn't this series scary enough?
The Venerable White stroked his chin—it seemed the 'Disposable Meteor Sword 002 Edition' would be ready soon!
Soft Feather finally obtained a fresh 'Disposable Meteor Sword 001 Edition'.
"Senior Song, let's go back to 'Immortal Severing Platform' together and see how the seniors modify hand tractors? It'll definitely be very interesting!" Soft Feather waved to Song Shuhang.
"No, I'll stay here and watch how Senior White and Senior Spirit Butterfly set up the racetrack," Song Shuhang said with a smile, waving his hand.
Just kidding, Soft Feather was planning to ride the 'Disposable Meteor Sword' back to the Immortal Severing Platform. If he goes back with her, wouldn't that mean he also gets to experience the process of turning into a meteor?
No way!
"Then, senior, I'll be going now!" Soft Feather didn't mind; her mind was entirely focused on the 'Disposable Meteor Sword'.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Venerable White activated his flying sword.
'piu~~' Soft Feather Spiral Ascension, her sword energy crisscrossing, and she flew incredibly fast.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly, Song Shuhang, Master Profound Principle, Senior Guo Da Young Master Phoenix Slayer all paid their respects to Soft Feather.
Song Shuhang wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Soft Feather's flying sword spun particularly fast as it Spiral Ascension.
If we say that when we saw the 'Su Clan’s Seven' senior Spiral Ascension on the isolated island overseas, it was the LV1 Sword Saint 'Blade Storm'...
That Soft Feather's 'Blade Storm' is at least Level 2, and may even be stronger.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh~~" Soft Feather's excited scream echoed from the sky.
However, everyone could hear that her screams contained only excitement, not a trace of fear.
Venerable White stroked his chin, his feelings a complex mix.
************
"Then, Senior White, let's go and meet up with the fellow cultivators in the group!" Senior Guo Da said.
Then, he and Abbot Profound Principle summoned their halberds and flying swords, and with a 'whoosh,' they soared into the sky, chasing after Soft Feather's departing figure.
They were afraid that if they were a little late, Venerable White would be in a great mood and offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal, plus a 'Disposable Meteor Sword' as a bonus—that would be wonderful.
Both fellow Daoists left, leaving only Young Master Phoenix Slayer behind.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer was still stammering, looking conflicted.
Venerable White looked at Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer, aren't you going to join the other Daoists in the group?"
"Ah, um. Senior White, don't worry about me, let me recover first." Young Master Phoenix Slayer were a classic case of saying one thing and meaning another.
He clearly wanted to tell Senior White that he didn't want to participate in the competition.
"Alright, you rest here. Fellow Spirit Butterfly Lingdie and I will continue setting up the racetrack." Venerable White chuckled.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Actually, wouldn't it be great if Young Master Phoenix Slayer's tendency to speak without thinking could balance out Song Shuhang's straightforwardness?
The two Venerable went to continue setting up the racetrack.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer still looked conflicted, standing there in a daze.
Song Shuhang stretched, feeling a little tired. So much had happened today, and he'd been up since dawn. So, he wanted to find a place to rest.
So, Song Shuhang got up and walked towards a nearby rocky area.
He glanced at the uneven rocky ground, and involuntarily, Song Shuhang thought of the little Guoguo's... hemorrhoids.
Therefore, Song Shuhang decisively drew his Overlord Shatter Saber, intending to carve out a flatter rock surface for resting.
[By the way, Master Profound Principle has arrived now. I wonder if the little monk will get beaten to a pulp?]
Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Then, he raised his Overlord Shatter Saber.
Just then, Venerable White's voice suddenly came from afar. "Shuhang, be careful."
"?" Song Shuhang turned his head in confusion and looked at Senior White.
But the next moment, he suddenly saw a flash of light in front of his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he felt as if he had been electrocuted.
He felt as if he were on a rollercoaster, his whole body was upside down... He felt a torture-like pain on his face... At the same time, a numb sensation spread throughout his body.
The Overlord Shatter Saber Blade, is three feet and three inches long and forged from the finest gold of the Thunder Pool... In the hands of a powerful cultivator, it can cleave through lightning.
Furthermore, its blade can attract a certain amount of lightning energy, which will inflict additional lightning damage on the next attack.
Thanks to it, although Song Shuhang was blasted by a bolt of lightning and looked like an Africa man, he was not actually seriously injured.
Song Shuhang his mouth. "Ha..."
I could faintly smell a burnt odor emanating from my mouth.
Only then did he realize that he had been struck by lightning... The screen full of white flashes just now was the scene of lightning striking him.
"Young friend Shuhang, are you alright?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly and Venerable White quickly landed beside Song Shuhang and examined his body.
Song Shuhang exhaled again, using his inner energy to perform a self-examination, and replied, "Aside from a numb feeling all over my body, nothing else seems to be wrong. Senior, what just happened?"
Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled dryly, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Bai and I were just about to set up a Lightning Strike Zone on the sea. But somehow, one of the bolts was attracted to you and struck you. Hahaha."
Song Shuhang: "..."
Is it really necessary? He just wanted to find a place to rest. Did they really need to use lightning to blow him up? The Venerable are indeed terrifying. Just watching them set up the racetrack is dangerous enough.
"Here, take a pill to calm your nerves." Venerable Spirit Butterfly took out another pill and put it into Song Shuhang's mouth.
After taking one pill, Song Shuhang felt full of strength and energy... Moreover, the amount of true qi in his Dantian increased significantly.
The increase in his true energy was equivalent to a day of arduous cultivation!
This is an incredibly precious pill that can instantly restore health, but in the hands of Venerable Spirit Butterfly, it's like a candy, worthless.
"Huh?" At this moment, Venerable White looked down at the spot where Song Shuhang was standing. "Shuhang, move aside."
Song Shuhang stepped aside, puzzled.
Then, he saw the Venerable White squat down and slap the ground with his palm.
The spot where Song Shuhang had been standing was now dented by the Venerable White's slap.
Next, ten crystal-like plant roots appeared in the pit, each about the size of an index finger. They were clearly not ordinary plants, and they were full of spiritual energy, pleasing to the eye.
Wait... why does this scene look so familiar?
Venerable White took out ten crystal-clear roots, weighed them in his hand, and smiled slightly, saying, "Not bad, these are 'Time Crystal Root' that can enhance cultivation. For Second-Grade Cultivator, consuming just one can increase their power by three years. Here, everyone who sees them gets a share."
So, Venerable White skillfully gave two to Song Shuhang, two to Venerable Spirit Butterfly, and two to Young Master Phoenix Slayer on the side.
The Venerable White kept four for himself.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai." Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled as she put away the 'Time Crystal Root'.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer was slightly taken aback before accepting the treasure.
Finally, Song Shuhang looked at the two 'Time Crystal Root' in the palm of his hand, and for some reason, his eyes welled up with tears again.
He realized why this scene looked so familiar.
So it turns out that Venerable White's innate "everyone who sees it gets a share" skill has been activated.
Senior White, blessed with all sorts of good fortune, will find himself surrounded by luck even when he's at home. However, for those around him, this good fortune often comes with some life-threatening dangers.
So, the 'life-threatening danger' I was in just now has fallen on my head again.
Song Shuhang sniffed.
However, if he consumes two rare and precious herbs that can enhance his cultivation by three years, he might be able to directly break through to the Second-Grade Second Dantian, the 'Dragon Tail Dantian'.
Fortune truly does come from danger; this lightning strike was worth it!
Just as he was pondering, Venerable White suddenly handed Song Shuhang another 'Time Crystal Root': "Here, I'll give you one last one as compensation. After all, it was because you were struck by lightning that I was able to find these ten 'Time Crystal Root'. Don't be sad, it's just being struck by lightning, you're a grown man, don't cry."
Song Shuhang immediately retorted, "Senior White, I was just having trouble breathing because I was struck by lightning, I didn't cry!"
******************************
Five minutes later.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer rode his sword and soared into the sky, flying towards the location of the Chu Household's Immortal Severing Platform.
Song Shuhang stood behind Young Master Phoenix Slayer.
Watching the two Venerable set up the arena was far too dangerous. For his own safety, Song Shuhang decisively decided to return to the Chu Household first.
As for Young Master Phoenix Slayer, after hesitating for a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.
So, he was responsible for taking Song Shuhang back.
"Young friend Shuhang, can you drive a hand tractor?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer asked from the flying sword.
"I know a little. Senior Phoenix Slayer, don't you know how? Do you want me to teach you?" Song Shuhang asked.
"Hmm." Young Master Phoenix Slayer nodded slightly.
I got home late today, and with this chapter being four thousand words, it's a little late. This is the first update so far.
