430. Song Shuhang, Your Kasaya!

The veterans of the Nine Provinces Number One Group continue their enthusiastic modification of hand-held tractors.

Their methods of modifying tractors are becoming increasingly appalling...

Song Shuhang was certain that if those fifty-odd hand tractors were driven off and ran amok, they could destroy a city.

What's even more frightening is that the experienced members of the group are still not satisfied with this level of power and continue to add all sorts of functions to their hand tractors.

Song Shuhang muttered, "I have a feeling this is going to be a terrifying match."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoists know what's going on. At most, they'll just be watching the show; nothing serious will happen." At this moment, True Lord Yellow Mountain's gentle voice rang in Song Shuhang's ears.

"Senior Yellow Mountain, hello." Song Shuhang asked with a smile, "Are you also participating in the competition? Are you also aiming for the top five?"

True Lord Yellow Mountain waved his hand. "I'm just here to make up the numbers. I don't have time to explore Venerable White's Secret Realm for now. After all, I still need to prepare for my advancement. Senior Seven Cultivations is right, I've been at the True Lord level for a long time, it's about time to focus on advancing to the Venerable... However, I'm also part of the organizer for this competition, and I feel that this 'Hand Tractor Race' will be quite interesting... So, let's treat it as a final relaxation before advancing."

After saying this, True Lord Yellow Mountain grabbed a box from behind him and handed it to Song Shuhang.

"?" Song Shuhang looked at True Lord in confusion.

"This is your reward for completing the task of 'receiving Venerable White '... Please accept it. This is a red envelope from all the fellow Daoists in the group," said True Lord Yellow Mountain.

"Thank you, senior." Song Shuhang took the box, his heart filled with curiosity. "Can I open it now and take a look?"

"As you wish." True Lord Yellow Mountain nodded.

Song Shuhang opened the box and saw it full of bottles of pills and some ointments.

True Lord Yellow Mountain took the initiative to explain the functions of these elixirs to him.

"This is the '6S Edition Heavenly Star Truth-Refining Pill' produced by the Heavenly Star Pavilion. When used in conjunction with cultivation, it can comprehensively enhance the effect of cultivation, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. There are six bottles in total, with thirty pills per bottle. One pill is enough for one day of cultivation."

"These two are 'Snow Lake True-Qi Powder No. 7' and 'Volcano Pill,' used to restore true qi. The former is in liquid form, and the latter is in pill form. These two pills can replenish some true qi in an emergency during battle. If used in conjunction with meditation and rest, true qi can be restored even faster. There are six bottles of each."

"This plaster is 'Tiger Bone Bear Gallbladder Salve A8' for treating external injuries. There are ten in total. It's made by Fellow Daoist Snow Wolf and has an excellent effect on healing external injuries."

"There's also this kind, which is for healing, but it's an internal medicine 'Dao-Harmony Pill, Star 5 Edition,' ten bottles in total. It's a product from a fellow Daoist at Ancient Lake Abbey, and its medicinal properties are mild and balanced, making it very suitable for you."

There were nearly thirty bottles of medicinal pills and ten plasters in total.

There are enough pills for Song Shuhang to use for almost half a year.

Song Shuhang was deeply grateful, as these were clearly pills he could use immediately. "Thank you for your trouble, seniors!

He carefully closed the box and put it into his 'Rabbit Inch-Shrinking Bag'.

"Haha, it certainly took a lot of effort," True Lord Yellow Mountain laughed. The main reason was that although young friend Song Shuhang had just advanced to the Second-Grade Realm, he lacked almost nothing. The seniors in the group racked their brains to think of a suitable gift.

As they spoke, True Lord Yellow Mountain glanced at the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' in Shuhang's hand— Song Shuhang actually had something like this 'pseudo-space bag'? This Inch-Shrinking Bag alone was worth the entire fortune of most third- or Fourth-Grade rogue cultivators!

After Shuhang put away the box, True Lord Yellow Mountain took out a small box and handed it to him. "And this is a personal surprise for you, young friend. I've been troubling you with taking care of Little Doudou lately, so please don't refuse this little token of my appreciation."

Song Shuhang took the small box and felt that it was quite heavy.

What's inside?

Seeing the confusion in Song Shuhang's eyes, True Lord Yellow Mountain explained, "Inside the box is a robe. Young friend Song Shuhang, you currently have no shortage of weapons, pills, or cultivation techniques. But you're missing a robe. Fortunately, I have a fine, slightly superior robe here. It's made of spirit beast Jade Silkworm Silk, impervious to water and fire, and impervious to blades and spears. Wearing it, even without activating its defensive formations, can stop small gun bullets. And once you Shuhang the robe's defenses, you'll be able to pass through a hail of bullets as if they were nothing!"

The more Song Shuhang listened, the brighter his eyes became.

This robe is absolutely amazing! It's so much better than bulletproof vests and stuff like that!

And did you hear that?

This is made from the silk spun by the precious spirit beast 'Jade Silkworm'. Although we don't know what level of spirit beast 'Jade Silkworm' is, this is a robe made of silkworm silk.

A handsome white scholar's robe subconsciously flashed into Song Shuhang's mind, the kind that would make him look like a scholar.

Or it could be a pure white Daoist robe, which makes one appear Dao Bone.

Or perhaps a modern version of a trench coat, the really cool kind—like the simple robe Soft Feather is wearing!

True Lord Yellow Mountain smiled and said, "Open it and take a look. I guarantee it will suit you perfectly."

Song Shuhang out and slowly opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a precious light emanated from it.

So eye-catching!

But this radiance is also very soft, bright yet not dazzling.

Song Shuhang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the 'robe' in the box!

It was a light blue silk robe... to be precise, Song Shuhang couldn't make out the outline of its 'clothing'. To him, this light blue robe looked like a bed sheet?

Then, on this light blue sheet, there were rectangular squares outlined with black borders, making it look like wall bricks.

Something's not right, nothing seems right at all.

Song Shuhang simply couldn't reconcile the 'bedsheet' robe in front of him with a Daoist robe or a Confucian robe.

On the contrary, the checkered pattern of the bed sheet made Song Shuhang subconsciously associate it with a certain famous Buddhist robe.

Song Shuhang completely rejected the 'name' of that famous robe in his mind.

That's unlikely. The Senior Yellow Mountain wouldn't give me that kind of 'robe,' would he? So, perhaps there's some hidden secret within this blue sheet?

True Lord Yellow Mountain laughed and said, "How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"Senior Yellow Mountain, does this robe have a name?" Song Shuhang took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes, it has a very nice name." True Lord Yellow Mountain nodded slightly and said, "It's called 'Jade-Green Kasaya,' a very elegant name, isn't it?"

"Jadeite!" Almost instinctively, Song Shuhang blocked out the two words following 'jadeite' from his mind.

However, no matter how much he tried to block out the last two words in his mind, he couldn't change the fact that the robe in his hand was named 'Jade **'!

Song Shuhang stood there dumbfounded, holding the box, his expression one of utter shock.

This gift from the True Lord Yellow Mountain caught him completely off guard!

Seeing Song Shuhang's surprised expression, True Lord Yellow Mountain rubbed his chin with satisfaction. It seemed that the gift he had given had completely exceeded Song Shuhang's expectations. Seeing his delighted little face, True Lord Yellow Mountain felt a great sense of accomplishment.

When it comes to giving gifts, I always enjoy seeing the surprised and delighted expression on someone's face when they receive one.

At this moment, the little Guoguo ran to Song Shuhang's side. He rubbed his bottom and ran over to Song Shuhang after Master Profound Principle went to modify the 'hand-held tractor'.

Yu Jiaojiao was dozing off on the little monk's shoulder.

While Doudou and Young Master Phoenix Slayer were fighting, Yu Jiaojiao nimbly escaped to the little monk's side. She didn't want to become an innocent little fish caught in the crossfire when the city gates caught fire.

"Huh? A kasaya!" The little monk saw the Jade-Green Kasaya in Song Shuhang's hand and immediately became happy. "Shuhang, have you finally decided to become a monk? I've always said that Senior Brother Song's head shape is very suitable for being a monk."

He'd be perfect to be a monk... a monk... a monk...

Song Shuhang turned his head stiffly and gave a dry laugh.

"Senior Brother Song, hurry up and put it on so I can see it. Actually, I really want a kasaya too, but we monks of World's End Wandering Temple can only get a sect-standard robe after we reach the Second-Grade Realm. I wonder what it will feel like to wear a kasaya? I'm really looking forward to it." The little monk's eyes revealed envy.

The petite Yu Jiaojiao also woke up, her eyes moving.

The shrunken Yu Jiaojiao looked like a little elf, very cute. She clapped her hands gently. "Shuhang, try it on, try it on!"

Song Shuhang's hand trembled slightly as he held the kasaya—was he really going to wear this 'Jadeite Robe'?

True Lord Yellow Mountain chuckled and said, "Young friend Shuhang, why don't you try it on? The robes have a built-in 'Dust-Cleansing' effect, so don't worry, they won't get dirty."

Song Shuhang: "..."

My True Lord, it's not a matter of being dirty or not!

Song Shuhang felt a dull, throbbing pain in his liver—"Senior Yellow Mountain, why did you send **?"

Furthermore, Senior Yellow Mountain was clearly Daoist School cultivator, so why would his treasure vault contain this kind of robe called '**'?

Song Shuhang took a deep breath and looked up at True Lord, the little monk, and Yu Jiaojiao.

Never mind, even if it's a cassock, it's still a token of the Senior Yellow Mountain's goodwill.

At worst, I can keep this precious robe in my 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' all the time. I'll wear it only before a battle or when I'm about to venture into some Secret Realm!

Thinking about it this way, Song Shuhang felt much more at ease—after all, he didn't have to keep this thing on all the time.

"Okay, I'll try it on and see," Song Shuhang.

Then, gritting his teeth, he grabbed the Jade-Green Kasaya and draped it over his shoulders...

The next moment, a burst of rapid flashes of light appeared in the distance.

It was Soft Feather who immediately snapped photos of Song Shuhang's dashing gesture of grabbing the cassock and draping it over his shoulders...
