Experience Gift Pack Formation

Song Shuhang asked in confusion, "Why is Senior White unhappy?"

"Because I didn't have enough fun! I helped set up the track and the traps, but for the sake of fairness, I couldn't participate in the race... I could only enjoy it by following everyone else. But I really wanted to race against others, the kind where 'putt putt putt~~', that would be so exciting!" Venerable White said regretfully.

That's right. The reason why Venerable White organized the Hand Tractor Race was because he himself really wanted to participate in Hand Tractor Race.

But later, he became a referee for the team... If he couldn't compete as a player, he naturally couldn't enjoy himself to the fullest.

"Hahaha." Song Shuhang dryly.

During his conversation with Venerable White, he repeatedly tried to discuss the "One-Month Space Trip" with the Venerable, hoping that the Venerable White would show leniency and change the month to half a month or something similar.

But whenever the words were on the tip of his tongue, he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Firstly, he's a bit too shy... and secondly, perhaps he harbors an unrealistic fantasy. Maybe the Venerable White's "one-month space journey" was just a casual remark, not taken seriously?

"Ready? We're about to enter the final stage of the 'hand-held tractor'," said Venerable White, pointing a finger at the sky.

In the sky, the door of the Chu Household's van opened automatically. Then, Venerable White used his spiritual power to lift Song Shuhang's body and place him in the back of the hand-held tractor.

Meanwhile, the van was lifted high by Disposable Flying Sword and headed ahead of schedule to the Indigenous Island of the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman...

"The final stage? Oh, is it the Talisman Treasure Formation you set up with Senior Seven Lives Talisman? Senior White, what kind of terrifying array did you set up?" Song Shuhang asked worriedly.

"A terrifying formation? Why?" Venerable White asked curiously, "The final formation isn't a trap, it's a reward."

"Huh? A reward?" Song Shuhang exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, traps are naturally placed in the middle of the track to increase the fun of the race, but have you ever seen a race where traps are placed at the finish line? That would be very unethical!" Venerable White replied.

The Venerable's words make perfect sense, and Song Shuhang has no way to refute them.

Venerable White further explained, "The final grand formation is Talisman Treasure Formation that I set up with the help of Fellow Spirit Butterfly and Seven Lives Talisman Daoist Qishengfu, using many precious materials. Every fellow Daoist who successfully reaches the finish line will receive a baptism of the Talisman Treasure Formation's power upon crossing the finish line and entering this Talisman Treasure Formation. This will permanently strengthen their body, internal true qi, or spiritual power using the power of the runes. You have just advanced to the Second-Stage True Master realm. If you receive this baptism of the Talisman Treasure Formation, it will thoroughly consolidate your current realm and bring you many benefits."

Song Shuhang immediately understood. In short, this was a formation that permanently increased attribute points. After being baptized, one could get +1 to Constitution, +1 to True Qi or Spiritual Power, and with good luck, maybe even +1 to Strength or +1 to Agility?

In the Hand Tractor Race, only the top five finishers can join Venerable White in exploring the 'Primordial Ruins'.

But with so many participants who have come all this way, they can't leave empty-handed. So, Venerable White, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, and the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman joined forces to set up this grand formation as a consolation prize.

At this moment, Venerable White asked again, "By the way, do you still have those three 'Time Crystal Root'?"

Time Crystal Root?

Oh, it was when Venerable White and Venerable Spirit Butterfly were setting up the racetrack that Song Shuhang was struck by lightning. Then Venerable White pulled out ten Time Crystal Root- like things from under Song Shuhang's charred feet.

Everyone who sees it gets a share, and with the consolation of being struck by lightning, Song Shuhang obtained a total of three 'Time Crystal Root'. One of these is equivalent to three years of cultivation for Second-Grade Cultivator.

Song Shuhang originally planned to take this treasure after his cultivation level was consolidated, or when he was about to break through to the second minor realm of the Second-Grade, 'Dragon Tail Dantian'.

"It's in the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' inside my body," Song Shuhang replied.

"Take it out and give it to your body. With the help of the 'Talisman Treasure Formation,' while you are being baptized and Body Tempering the energy of the Talisman Treasure Formation, it will help you absorb the medicinal power of the 'Time Crystal Root' in one go. The two complement each other, and the effect will definitely be greater than 1+1," said Venerable White.

"I'll go get it and take it right away." Song Shuhang climbed into the back of the truck, took out his Inch-Shrinking Bag, and then took out the 'Time Crystal Root' from it.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang looked puzzled after taking out the three Time Crystal Root.

He still remembered when the Venerable White first gave him this treasure on a "share with everyone" basis; each "Time Crystal Root" was only the size of an index finger, wasn't it?

But how come every Time Crystal Root I see has grown to the size of an apple?

Song Shuhang, controlling the body of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer, handed the several 'Time Crystal Root' to the driver's seat. "Senior White, the Time Crystal Root have mutated; their size has increased significantly!"

After glancing at it, Venerable White chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is normal. After the Time Crystal Root are separated from the soil, their volume will increase rapidly, and each one can grow to the size of a watermelon."

Then, Senior White climbed out of the driver's seat, climbed into the truck bed, took the three Time Crystal Root, and then reached out and pried open Song Shuhang's mouth.

Song Shuhang's version of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer showed a look of doubt in his eyes.

But then the Venerable White reached out and grabbed a 'Time Crystal Root', stuffing it into Song Shuhang's mouth.

Something the size of an apple was stuffed entirely into Song Shuhang's mouth!

Song Shuhang never imagined that his mouth could fit such a large thing in one bite.

Then, Venerable White reached out and lightly pressed his palm against Song Shuhang's mouth.

With a gurgling sound, the apple-sized object was forcefully pushed down Song Shuhang's throat and slid into his stomach.

Through the eyes of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Song Shuhang could even see his own throat swelling due to the insertion of the enormous 'Time Crystal Root'.

Just looking at it makes my throat feel a little sore.

Won't he choke? Shoving something that big in like that, won't he choke to death?

Through the mouth of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer Song Shuhang timidly inquired, "Senior White ~~ Can't this Time Crystal Root be cut open and eaten?"

The Venerable White replied, "That would be much less effective, so swallowing it in one gulp is the best choice."

So... if this thing were to swell to the size of a watermelon, would it be best to swallow it whole? Even if Doudou grew to the size of five meters, swallowing something the size of a watermelon would still cause choking, right?

As he spoke, Venerable White forcibly stuffed the other two 'Time Crystal Root' into Song Shuhang's mouth. With two slaps, all the 'Time Crystal Root' entered Song Shuhang's stomach.

"All done... Take care of yourself. In a little while, we'll be charging into that 'Talisman Treasure Formation'." Venerable White clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Then, he climbed back into the driver's seat from the truck bed, and started driving the hand tractor again, chugging forward.

--Yes, there was another very serious problem earlier. When Venerable White was feeding Song Shuhang's physical body 'Time Crystal Root', he didn't stop his tractor (i. e., his own tractor).

The tractor was operating without a driver for a while... Thinking about it now, it's a bit scary.

A moment later.

Song Shuhang controlled the body of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer and reached out to check his own nose—thankfully, he was still breathing and hadn't choked to death by the three Time Crystal Root.

But won't those three apple-sized things burst my stomach if I eat them?

He was completely overthinking it. Once the 'Time Crystal Root' enters the body, it will directly transform into a medicinal liquid and begin to enhance the user's cultivation.

The reason why elixirs are called elixirs is because they completely disregard science and reason.

******************************

At this moment, the grand 'Hand Tractor Race' is finally coming to an end.

At the very front, True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord still led the way.

There was no way around it; True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord's home-field advantage was simply too great—the ocean was its territory. Furthermore, it had no scruples, frequently using its talent to create massive waves and hinder the other contestants.

If even he can't maintain first place, then True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord might as well stay on land.

Behind True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, True Lord Dustfall maintained his second position, closely following behind...

Master Profound Principle quietly squeezed into the top three. Throughout the journey, he maintained the principle of "silence is golden," avoiding the limelight, fighting with others, and resorting to underhanded tactics.

He played the game seriously and quietly made it into the top three.

The original top three, the "Snow Wolf Cave Master," attempted to overtake True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord before the finish line. While trying to overtake him, the Snow Wolf Cave Master even unleashed a storm on True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, attempting to freeze his tractor. However, their attempt backfired, and True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord delivered a single small wave, nearly causing them to crash.

Although they continued to fight back, they unfortunately finished in fourth place.

The fifth place went to the composed Northern River's Loose Cultivator, but as he approached the finish line, Northern River's Loose Cultivator intentionally slowed down...

He had no intention of competing for the top five—because Northern River's Loose Cultivator would be aiming for the Sixth-Grade True Lord position within the next month.

The Forbidden Summit Copper Trigram Immortal Master at the Forbidden City a month from now will be the time for him to prove his Dao and advance to the Sixth-Grade rank! With the advancement imminent, Northern River's Loose Cultivator decided to give the opportunity to explore the Primordial Ruins to other fellow Daoists.

Following Northern River's Loose Cultivator was Soft Feather.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Northern River's Loose Cultivator slows down, Soft Feather will be able to overtake Northern River's Loose Cultivator and squeeze into the top five before the finish line.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

At this moment, True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord took the lead and crossed the finish line.

The next moment, ten thousand Talisman Treasure appeared in the void, forming a huge Talisman Treasure Formation at the finish line.

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman's face was slightly pale, but he was filled with excitement and awe. He rode his sword and soared into the air, hovering above the enormous Talisman Treasure Formation, presiding over this massive array.
