What rotten luck!
White Whale Saber Expert and Book Mountain Hermit were the two Daoist names that Song Shuhang ticked off, as they were the ones that suited his taste.
Then, I deleted anything related to "Butcher Saber Master" immediately.
What is "Pressure Daoist"? Is it "Pear Daoist"? (Delete, delete, delete!)
"Hard Fist Young Master"? Both "Hard Fist" and "Gongzi"... Does he have a handsome face and a burly build? Delete, delete, delete!
In this way, after removing the two Dao names that are determined to be retained, six Dao names are left.
He needs seven Daoist titles.
Therefore, we need to delete one more.
Overlord Blade Song One, Wood Daoist, Vajra Gentleman Saber, Confucian Fist Monk, Scholar Seeking the Dao, Kindheart Cultivator...
Of these six Daoist titles, Song Shuhang most wanted to delete the first one—"Overlord Blade Song One".
However... this is the Daoist name proposed by Venerable White.
After thinking it over, Song Shuhang decided to keep it, wanting to give Senior White face!
If we don't give Senior White face, and Senior White gets upset... cough, that would be playing with our lives.
Anyway, the seven Daoist titles are just a transitional phase. Gradually, he will choose the one that best suits him from the seven titles... So, at worst, he can find an excuse to remove the Daoist title 'Overlord Blade Song One' halfway through.
In this way, it becomes easy to choose which of the remaining four Daoist titles to delete: Vajra Gentleman Saber or Confucian Fist Monk.
Both of these Daoist names have a distorted and chaotic style.
However, compared to the others, the Confucian Fist Monk is more likely to be deleted... As for the fist-monk, he's not really going to become a monk!
Vajra Gentleman Saber, Overlord Blade Song One, Wood Daoist, White Whale Saber Expert, Book Mountain Hermit, Scholar Seeking the Dao, Kindheart Cultivator —exactly seven Daoist names.
The blocks are arranged in order, seven days a week... He changes his Daoist number every day, which allows for a smooth rotation.
One number per day, seven days a week, no repeats—are you scared?
If he didn't find remembering 365 Daoist names a year too troublesome, he would really like to pack up 365 Daoist names and experience the life of a different Daoist name every day.
If we calculate the time, it's late at night on July 21st, a Sunday. There are still a few hours until midnight.
Today he is called the Kindheart Cultivator, but after midnight... his Daoist name becomes 'Vajra Gentleman Saber'.
Then, on Tuesday the Houtian, he will be the Overlord Blade Song One!
******************************
After ticking off seven Daoist titles, Song Shuhang chuckled and said, "So, we'll use the seven titles in rotation each day. That'll be enough for one round each week."
"Senior Song from the Seventh Dao Sect is so cool!" Soft Feather exclaimed enviously.
--It's been decided. After returning home, she'll ask her father to give her several more Daoist names.
How many Daoist names should we choose?
Taking seven Senior Song? That's inappropriate; it would feel like being a couple.
Why not just take thirty Daoist names and change one every day of the month? Hmm, that doesn't seem right either. Sometimes a month only has twenty-eight days, and sometimes it has thirty-one.
So... let Father give her 365 Daoist names! One for each day, she can use them for a whole year, and none of them will be the same!
Great, it's decided, I'll have 365 Daoist names.
Every day is different; every day is a brand new Soft Feather!
In the distance, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, who was arranging the taillights of the 'hand-held tractor' with Whirlwind Venerable, suddenly shuddered... This was the Venerable's extraordinary sixth sense; it seemed some trouble was about to befall him?
This is a troublesome matter.
Could it be that big-eyed Sea King? Hehehe, is that guy going to send 'Sea Urchin Warrior' to attack Spirit Butterfly Island?
I'll make sure these Sea Urchin Warriors are utterly crushed!
Venerable White chuckled as well, "Using seven Daoist titles in rotation~ Haha, only someone like Shuhang, who is almost unrestricted by the rules of the Cultivation World, would come up with such an idea. However, it's quite interesting."
"Seven Daoist titles in seven days?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator was taken aback. "Young friend Shuhang, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Senior Northern River, don't worry, I haven't done anything reckless... This is just a transitional phase. I will ultimately keep one of the seven Daoist titles as my true Daoist title in the future," Song Shuhang replied.
Alternatively, if a more suitable Daoist name is found during the process of deciding on the final Daoist name, then these seven Daoist names can be replaced.
In any case, a cultivator's Daoist title is not always the same.
As a cultivator's strength increases, or due to various other factors, a powerful cultivator may sometimes change their Daoist name.
For example, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's Daoist name was not "Spirit Butterfly" a long time ago. It was only when he began to build his own Spirit Butterfly Island that he changed his Daoist name to "Spirit Butterfly".
For example, the True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey did not have this Daoist name two hundred years ago. It was only later, when he inherited the position of the abbot of Ancient Lake Abbey, that he inherited the Daoist name Ancient Lake Abbey. This is a custom that they have inherited.
"That's certainly an interesting method," said Mad Saber Three Waves his chin. He seemed to have recovered from the panic of being killed by Su Clan’s Seven.
That's true. As someone who's been fighting on the front lines of the suicide squad for years, how could they possibly enjoy committing suicide if they didn't even have this much mental fortitude?
"However, young friend Shuhang, although a Daoist title is just a name, in the unseen realm, a cultivator's Daoist title is closely linked to their Fortune. Don't underestimate the importance of a Daoist title!" It was rare for Mad Saber Three Waves to give such serious advice.
"I understand, Senior Three Waves. I have never meant to belittle the 'Daoist title'." Song Shuhang closed the notebook and returned it to Northern River's Loose Cultivator —he had memorized all seven Daoist titles.
It was precisely because he did not underestimate the 'Daoist name' that he wanted to change 'the pressure of the mountain of books'.
"Three Waves's words are truly from the bottom of his heart; his Daoist name serves as a cautionary tale," Northern River's Loose Cultivator, putting away his notebook and laughing heartily.
Mad Saber Three Waves: "..."
Thus, Song Shuhang's Daoist name was decided.
******************************
"Alright, now that young friend Shuhang's Daoist name has been decided, let's proceed with the cultivator trading market!" Venerable White waved his arm and said happily. But after speaking, Venerable White remembered a question, "What Daoist name will Shuhang use today?"
"On Saturday, please call me the Kindheart Cultivator." Song Shuhang then asked curiously, "Is that cultivator trading market going to be held now?"
"Yes, we'll do it now. It's a common practice in the Cultivator World," Northern River's Loose Cultivator explained. "Cultivators usually live all over the world, so it's not easy for them to gather together. Therefore, after a major cultivation competition like the 'Flying Sword Race,' they usually take the opportunity to prepare a Trade Conference for cultivators. Senior Spirit Butterfly and Senior Xuanfeng have already arranged the relevant items for the Trade Conference market there."
"I see." Song Shuhang nodded. Then, he glanced at the enthusiastic Venerable White: "By the way, Senior White, aren't you the organizer of this 'Hand Tractor Race'? Don't you need to arrange the Trade Conference?"
"Don't worry, everything has been handled by Fellow Spirit Butterfly and Fellow Daoist Xuanfeng. Especially Fellow Daoist Xuanfeng, he loves this kind of limelight. I just need to show my face when the Trade Conference starts." Venerable White gave a thumbs up and added, "In addition, I've arranged everything I can. Before organizing the Hand Tractor Race, I invited several well-known 'appraisal masters' from the Cultivation World to oversee things. When you encounter items at the Trade Conference that you can't appraise, you can ask these fellow Daoists for help with appraisal. Of course... don't forget the appraisal fee."
The Venerable White has maxed out his 'hands-off manager' skill points.
Whirlwind Venerable, however, allocated a significant amount of points to the 'hard-working and conscientious' skill.
"By the way, Shuhang... oh no, Kindheart Cultivator. Come find me after the Trade Conference starts, and I'll show you around and give you some pointers on Trade Conference." Venerable White waved his hand. "I'll go to Fellow Spirit Butterfly Lingdie's place first to check the exact start time of the Trade Conference."
Having said that, Venerable White happily ran off.
"Haha, with the Trade Conference, it must be another time for Senior White to reap the rewards, right?"
"At every conference like this, Senior White always manages to find a lot of great things without even realizing it."
"But everyone's learned something new lately, right? Anything Senior White wants to trade must be a treasure."
"Not necessarily. The old friends will learn something new, but there are always some new faces at the annual Trade Conference."
The seniors complained and then went to the positions of Whirlwind Venerable and Venerable Spirit Butterfly.
"A grand gathering for trading cultivators' treasures... It seems like a rare opportunity... Unfortunately, I don't have many items to trade, not even a few Spirit Stone," Song Shuhang said regretfully.
He'll just join in the fun at this Trade Conference and maybe even learn some cultivation techniques along the way.
"Speaking of which, the final stop is near the 'Indigenous Island' where Senior Seven Lives Talisman is? Tubo, Yangde, and Gao Moumou are on that island, right? Well then, let's go check on them first!" Song Shuhang thought, and stood up.
A moment later.
Song Shuhang found himself lying all alone in the back of a tractor... with the vast ocean all around him. He couldn't see the 'Indigenous Island' anywhere.
The finish line of the race was said to be near the 'Indigenous Island'... but only the dead knew how far the Venerable White and the others meant by 'nearby'.
And... seniors, couldn't you have taken me with you when you left? Did you expect me to swim there to find you?
What a misfortune.
*********************************
"What a tragedy."
Indigenous Island
It was nearly midnight.
After a long day of hard work, the island's indigenous inhabitants went to bed early. They have always maintained the fine tradition of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Gao Moumou lay in a small mud house, his eyes wide open, but he couldn't fall asleep at all.
"Life is like a coffee table."
What was supposed to be a honeymoon summer vacation with my girlfriend Mei Yi turned into a terrifying 'Savage Island Survival' activity.
The cruise ship that would pick them up wouldn't arrive at the island for another month.
"A month... I've already run out of chapters that I set up for automatic updates in the author backend. I guess I'll have to stop updating soon," Gao Moumou muttered.
