The Cultivator Escort Item from One Hundred and Thirty Years Ago

Although the Foreign Monk very much wanted to immediately attach a layer of kasaya skin to the new Daoist robe, he resisted the urge.

He's not as 'straightforward' as he used to be—anyway, he can slowly put on the robe after saying goodbye to his master. There's no need to anger his master in front of him.

Wearing the Daoist robe in front of your master can make him happier.

Sure enough, when Wuyinzi saw him put on the Daoist robe, a smile appeared on his old face.

Wuyinzi said, "Come with me. I will teach you the follow-up techniques of the <Immortal Marvel Dao Profound Sword>, as well as some other auxiliary techniques."

The Foreign Monk followed him obediently, never leaving his side.

As Wuyinzi walked ahead, she suddenly sighed and said, "Also, return to the sect in two months. Once you reach the Second-Grade Realm, you can ignite your 'Life Lamp.' With your 'Life Lamp' there, I can feel more at ease letting you roam the world."

The Foreign Monk paused, then respectfully replied, "Yes, Master. I will definitely return to the sect when the time comes."

Let's postpone attaching the leather to the Daoist robe for a while longer.

At least this time when I return to the sect, I won't upset my master anymore.

The Foreign Monk thought to himself.

Speaking of which, I wonder where that 'benefactor' Spirit Ghost went after that? If I ever have the chance to meet him again, I must find a way to repay his two life-saving favors.

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

At 2 a. m., Song Shuhang finally left Gao Moumou's small dark room—he never imagined that Gao Moumou would be so talkative.

The energetic Gao Moumou held onto Song Shuhang, talking about him since dawn, before finally reluctantly letting Shuhang go...

Afterwards, Yu Jiaojiao arranged a room for Song Shuhang to rest.

Back in his room, Shuhang didn't fall asleep immediately.

He first practiced the Vajra Foundation Fist, then the Unmoving Vajra Body, and finally the Steel Hand he obtained from the Seven Cultivations Cultivators.

After completing a training session, his physical condition had subtly improved a little.

However, his physique was still far from sufficient. Shuhang gently rubbed his brow; the spiritual power of Third-Grade Cultivator at the bronze level was still faintly stinging his brow.

This issue must be resolved as soon as possible.

While improving his physical condition, he should also find an opportunity to increase his Merit Power.

After daybreak, he will look for any souls he can help to be released from suffering. For his Protective Merit Light to undergo a qualitative change, he needs more than 80,000 more souls.

More than 80,000 souls—where can we find them?

"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Shuhang.

Song Shuhang was startled. He turned his head and found that Yu Jiaojiao to the size of a palm and was lying on his windowsill basking in the Moonlight.

Didn't Yu Jiaojiao go back to her own room? Why is she here again?

"Because of the Enlightenment Stone on you," Yu Jiaojiao replied lazily, able to see through Shuhang's thoughts at a glance.

She obtained a Moonlight Stone from the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations', and when she wore it, she could enjoy the speed of cultivation under the moonlight at all times. If she added the Enlightenment Stone on Song Shuhang's body, the cultivation efficiency would be even higher.

So he was just trying to sneak onto the Enlightenment Stone. Shuhang answered Yu Jiaojiao's question, "I was wondering, where can I find many wandering souls?"

"Find Ghost Cultivator. As long as you find a Ghost Cultivator's cave, even if it's Second-Grade- grade Ghost Cultivator, they will have thousands of dead souls, Ghost Soldier, and Ghost General at their disposal," Yu Jiaojiao replied.

Song Shuhang immediately thought of the 'Altar Master'. Unfortunately, the Altar Master's hometown was gone, and all the Ghost Soldier and Ghost General inside had been taken away by Master Profound Principle's disciple, Senior Brother Three Days, to practice secret techniques.

However, Ghost Cultivator aren't like carrots; they're not that easy to find.

Wait, there really Ghost Cultivator! Song Shuhang thought of the Ghost Cultivator who were chasing the Foreign Monk. Perhaps he could run into the Foreign Monk?

Song Shuhang kept this in mind, and then continued to ask, "Besides Ghost Cultivator, are there any other places where one can find a large number of undead?"

"Go to a war-torn country, and you should be able to find quite a few souls. However, with advanced technology now, weapons are becoming increasingly powerful. With your current Second-Grade cultivation level and that Jade-Green Kasaya, you are not afraid of ordinary firearms. As long as you are careful and avoid encountering high-powered firearms, you might be able to help many souls find peace in a short time," Yu Jiaojiao replied.

When Song Shuhang heard this, he was actually a little tempted.

"Looks like you're really interested?" Yu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and added, "If you really want to go to a war-torn region, I recommend you bring a strong senior along as a group. That way, your safety will be guaranteed."

"I was just thinking about it. Besides, in war-torn regions, the risks and rewards are disproportionate." Song Shuhang smiled and said, "Never mind, I won't think about it anymore. Jiaojiao, I need to rest now. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Yu Jiaojiao continued to lean on the windowsill, breathing deeply.

[War-torn regions?] Song Shuhang lay on the bed, silently thinking to himself—he had no intention of rushing to war-torn regions, but when he thought of [war-torn regions], a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

A vast, destroyed Immortal Palace lay in ruins, with no signs of battle around it. The entire Immortal Palace seemed to have been wiped out in an instant by a powerful force.

Along with the ruins of the Immortal Palace, there was also a bloodstained palm, and the number 'Beloved Dog 43B' written on it.

That was the scene Song Shuhang "saw" from that Golden Chain when he first comprehended the 'Whale Swallowing Technique'.

Thinking of this, Song Shuhang took out the thick Golden Chain from the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag'. It was Golden Chain that looked very nouveau riche, with one of the 'Thirty-Three Beasts' engraved on each link.

What exactly is that destroyed Immortal Palace ruin?

--Are there any wandering souls inside?

As he was thinking, Song Shuhang suddenly turned pale!

Oh no, it's coming! It's coming!

Even though it was through the 'Wood Ox Swordsman's Heart Gloves', that mysterious Appraisal Secret Method was activated again.

Needless to say, the object of the appraisal is this Golden Chain in my hand.

This Golden Chain has a mysterious origin and is closely related to the ancient 'Thirty-Three Beast God Sect -Thirty-Three Beast God Sect,' inheriting their cultivation techniques. In short, it holds a great secret—and a great secret means a huge financial loss!

Song Shuhang's eyes welled up with tears.

A moment later, nearly two hundred wounds appeared on Shuhang's body. Each wound was two centimeters deep, and blood spurted out, turning Song Shuhang into a blood-soaked figure.

The intense pain stimulated his nerves.

"Waaaaah..." Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, tears, sweat, and blood soaking the bed.

Yu Jiaojiao, who was lying on the bedside table, suddenly smelled a pungent odor of blood. She turned her head and her eyes widened.

Song Shuhang was gushing blood, looking like a 'water balloon' riddled with countless holes—what was Shuhang doing? Why was he inflicting so many wounds on himself? Was he torturing himself?

"Shuhang, are you out of your mind, trying to torture yourself?" She leaped up and landed beside Song Shuhang. Then, a water-ball-shaped Daoist spell appeared in her palm and slapped it onto Shuhang.

As a hybrid of Mermaid and Flood Dragon, she was born with several water-based healing techniques. Her healing effects were no less than those of Senior Sister Ye.

Song Shuhang glanced silently at Yu Jiaojiao, gritted his teeth and said through the pain, "It's not self-torture! It's the price to pay after using a secret technique."

"Such a self-destructive secret technique? Why would you use this technique for no reason?" Yu Jiaojiao asked, while simultaneously casting a healing spell.

Thanks to her efforts, Song Shuhang's wounds gradually healed.

"That's the problem—ever since I learned this secret technique, its activation has been beyond my control," Song Shuhang said sadly.

Yu Jiaojiao: "..."

She looked at Song Shuhang with pity, then asked in a serious tone, "Want a burial plot? An underwater burial plot is ten thousand times cheaper than a land-based one, and you don't have to worry about anyone competing with you for it. Think about it?"

"I won't die so easily!" Song Shuhang exclaimed excitedly, and in his excitement, blood spurted out from his body again.

After the blood and excruciating pain, runes flowed from Song Shuhang's eyes, landing on the Golden Chain and revealing the shape of a clock.

The hour hand on the clock moves backward.

Subsequently, the rune returned to Song Shuhang's mind, bringing with it information about the Appraisal Secret Method.

The 'Spirit Beast Chain', crafted from Refined Gold, is a symbol of status for disciples of the 'Beast God Division,' one of the eighty-eight departments subordinate to the Ancient Heavenly Court. Each Spirit Beast Chain represents a 'Spirit Beast Taming Master' recognized by the Ancient Heavenly Court; it is a symbol of status.

The Spirit Beast Chain? Isn't this a treasure passed down through the Thirty-Three Beast God Sect? How did it become an item of the 'Beast God Division,' one of the eighty-eight subordinate departments of the Ancient Heavenly Court?

However, Song Shuhang soon realized that the predecessor of the Thirty-Three Beast God Sect might have been the 'Beast God Division' of the Ancient Heavenly Court!

As they were pondering this, the Appraisal Secret Method continued to transmit further information.

[The Spirit Beast Chain numbered 'Human Grade 10541' belongs to Elder 'Bamboo Pipe' of the Thirty-Three Beast God Sect. It has undergone a series of modifications by 'Bamboo Pipe' and contains the secrets of the sect's secret technique, <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>. Wearing this chain can enhance the cultivation efficiency of <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>. Password: My Beloved Dog 43B.]

With this item, you can bring back a shipment from the 'Three-Life Escort Agency'. This shipment is a gift package that Bamboo Pipe ordered for his disciple 130 years ago.

That concludes the information on the Appraisal Secret Method.

Song Shuhang gasped for breath, a throbbing pain shooting through his head—as the 88,888 voices in his mind kept nagging him every night, his Appraisal Secret Method was indeed becoming more and more powerful.

The number of things they can identify is increasing—this time, they've identified something even stranger.

Yu Jiaojiao asked, "Is it over?"

"It's finally over." Song Shuhang grimaced in pain. His injuries had healed under Yu Jiaojiao's care, but the 'pain' would last for a long time.

--Speaking of which, the price this time was lighter than I expected? It involved things from the Ancient Heavenly Court, yet I only suffered two hundred wounds? That's really a good deal.

"Your secret technique is really troublesome," Yu Jiaojiao said, and then she sent out another 'Secret Voice Transmission'.

Soon, the door was opened. A half-demon dressed as a servant entered and greeted Yu Jiaojiao and Song Shuhang.

A moment later, the servant dragged the bed, which was soaked with Shuhang's blood, out and brought in a new one.

After the servant left, Yu Jiaojiao looked at Shuhang and asked, "What are the effects of activating your secret technique?"

"I did find something... Jiaojiao, do you know about the 'Three-Life Escort Agency'?" Song Shuhang held the Golden Chain in his hand. It sounded like an organization used by cultivators in ancient times to transport treasures.

"Three-Life Escort Agency? Oh, I remember that, but they changed their name. Now it's called 'Three Lives Global Express'... However, in the last twenty years, they've rarely taken on business within Earth. They now generally only handle delivery services in space," Yu Jiaojiao explained.

[Our journey is to the stars and the sea!] For some reason, this sentence came to Song Shuhang's mind.

"Do they still have any bases in China?"

"Of course they do. Their sect is located in China. By the way, they have a branch in the Jiangnan Region. When I was little, my father once sent something to my mother, who had angrily run off to another planet. That's why I remember her," Yu Jiaojiao nodded.

If an ordinary girl argues with a man, she might at most storm off to her parents' home in a huff—but a girl in the Cultivation World, if she gets angry, might just run off to another planet. You might not be able to find her at all until she calms down.

Song Shuhang then asked, "Then, if there's a shipment from over 130 years ago that hasn't been claimed yet, can we go and claim it now?"

"Goods from 130 years ago? That's perfectly fine. It's quite normal for cultivators. They might suddenly have a thought and go into seclusion for hundreds of years, during which time they can't sign for packages or anything like that. So, 'Three Lives Global Express' has an organization that stores goods and packages for its customers. You'll have to confirm with them to know the specifics," Yu Jiaojiao explained. "However, they will definitely charge a storage fee."

"Yu Jiaojiao, let's go check out 'Three Lives Global Express' tomorrow!" Song Shuhang.

The gift that Bamboo Pipe prepared for his disciple was specifically highlighted by the 'Appraisal Secret Method,' so it must be a very good item, right?

"No problem," Yu Jiaojiao said. "As a way of repaying you, how about you have your friend update 40,000 words a day tomorrow?"

Song Shuhang's lips twitched, and he quickly replied, "I'm going to take a shower first!"

"Tch." Yu Jiaojiao gave Song Shuhang a thumbs-up.

The distant location in the Eastern Sea.

A scholar stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes bloodshot and filled with madness, yet his face remained calm.

The combination of his two contrasting expressions—madness and calmness—created his unique charisma.

The scholar seemed to be walking through the air, searching for something. With each step he took, he exuded an aura of a master.

Suddenly, the scholar's face turned pale, and his expression twisted in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, it's happening again?"

On his back, another deep wound appeared; the old wound had not yet healed when a new one was added.

So frequently?

Is this some kind of living hell?

Believe it or not, I'll activate 'Sensory Synchronization' and let you experience the pain I'm going through right now!

Of course, this was just a thought; the scholar would absolutely not activate his Sensory Synchronization right now. He could only grit his teeth and endure the excruciating pain.
