The White-Haired Senior Wants to Pass On Several Years of Cultivation to Me
After paying the 'storage fee' of a Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone, Song Shuhang was filled with anxiety. That was a Rank Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone! It could buy three cultivation techniques similar to the ordinary <Flame Blade>!
Hopefully, the gifts Elder Bamboo Pipe is preparing to give to his disciple will be worth the price of these 'Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone' —please don't let them be something like a moldy teddy bear!
Next, Shuhang filled in the address of Yu Jiaojiao's villa on the express delivery slip.
He will be staying at Yu Jiaojiao's house for the next few days.
Originally, he planned to go home as soon as possible after returning from space.
But right now, Gao Moumou is still at Yu Jiaojiao's house, and her two other roommates are on their way. Since that's the case, let's stay here a few more days and get together with our friends.
The woman in the cheongsam smiled as she took the delivery slip, then handed the Golden Chain back to Shuhang, adding, "Sir, your shipment should arrive within two days. Please check and confirm receipt then. Also, sir, do you have any other business to conduct?"
"Thank you, that's all." Song Shuhang stood up and put the Golden Chain back into his Inch-Shrinking Bag. "Then we'll take our leave."
"Goodbye, guests." The woman in the cheongsam maintained her smile.
For 'Three Lives Global Express', the sooner the stored items are claimed, the better. Continuing to store items beyond 500 years becomes very uneconomical.
Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao left 'Three Lives Global Express'.
"The shipment has been successfully obtained, but I wonder what's inside. I just hope it's not some doll or something," Song Shuhang sighed—otherwise, he'd be spitting blood right there in front of you!
Yu Jiaojiao said, "Don't worry, the gifts cultivators give their disciples are always the same few things—Daoist robes, flying swords, precious elixirs, or other magical treasures. No master would give their disciple such an impractical toy as a doll."
As for whether it's worth a Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone, Yu Jiaojiao couldn't guarantee it.
Hearing Yu Jiaojiao's words, Song Shuhang felt reassured, as if a pill had been taken to calm him down. That made sense; after all, she was a cultivator, not an ordinary person, so she probably wouldn't receive a teddy bear or anything like that.
Yu Jiaojiao stretched and said, "Then let's take a taxi back. It's getting late, and if we go back now, we should be able to make it in time for lunch."
Upon hearing the word "eat," Shuhang's face paled slightly. The word "eat" reminded him of the taste of muddy water in his mouth and the cruel yet caring feeling of being filled with mud.
When I got home tonight, I took out a picture of the Venerable White and offered my respects. I had some bad luck today, and I hope it will improve.
The two took the elevator down from the 'Prosperous Building' and were about to call a taxi.
At this moment, a voice rang in Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao's ears. "Fellow Daoists, please wait!"
It was a sound Secret Voice Transmission.
Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao turned around and saw an elderly Daoist priest with white hair sitting by the flower bed in the Prosperous Building.
It was the white-haired Daoist priest who had sent the package with him at 'Three Lives Global Express' earlier. At this moment, under his full control, his aura was much more concealed.
The white-haired Daoist priest sat cross-legged on the edge of the flower bed... In front of him were piles of coins and banknotes.
The Daoist priest had white hair but a youthful face, and an otherworldly air about him—even an ordinary person could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary. He was definitely not the kind of fraudster who had dyed his hair white.
Then, as the Daoist priest sat cross-legged by the flower bed, a few daring Daoist School believers quietly placed a few coins in front of him, then put their hands together and silently made a wish—these daring believers were treating the Daoist priest as a wishing well.
After the believers left, some passersby who were unaware of the truth saw several coins in front of the Daoist priest and added to the pile of coins in front of him.
When the Daoist priest stood up, he saw the small pile of coins in front of him and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He flicked his sleeve and rolled the coins into his robe.
Then, he walked towards Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao.
He used the technique of Shrinking Space into Inches, and after two steps, he was already beside Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang bowed to the white-haired Daoist priest and asked in confusion, "Daoist priest, did you call me back for something?"
"Young Daoist, I have stopped you because I have a request." The white-haired Daoist smiled, trying his best to express his goodwill. Then he switched to Secret Voice Transmission and asked, "Young Daoist, do you have any items related to the Outer Heavenly Demon 'Blood Demon'?"
Items related to the Blood Demon?
Song Shuhang has two things related to the 'Blood Demon'. One is that mysterious Blood Bone, whose effects even Senior White couldn't discern. He casually tossed it to Shuhang, saying that Song Shuhang should raise a puppy sometime so it could chew on its teeth.
Besides the Blood Bone, Shuhang also had a large number of Blood Pearl on his body.
Back then, that poor thing was ganged up on and beaten by the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', and was eventually smashed into a pile of Blood Pearl by Venerable White with a single palm strike. There were so many Blood Pearl that Venerable White later gave a handful to Song Shuhang.
The white-haired Old Daoist asked this question because he had sensed the Blood Demon Treasure on the man's body.
"I'm sure I have items related to the Blood Demon," Song Shuhang replied.
A look of joy appeared in the white-haired Old Daoist's eyes, but his face remained calm as he said, "Please forgive Old Daoist impertinence, young friend, may I have a look at Old Daoist treasure concerning the Outer Heavenly Demon?"
Song Shuhang thought for a moment, then reached into his robes and, using the clothing as a barrier, took out a Blood Pearl from Inch-Shrinking Bag and handed it to the white-haired Old Daoist.
After receiving the Blood Pearl, the white-haired Daoist priest sniffed it carefully, then circulated his inner energy to explore Blood Pearl structure. The joy in his eyes grew stronger.
"It is indeed something from the Blood Demon. I wonder which senior master possessed the skill to transform the Blood Demon's body into such a wondrous form of existence." The white-haired Daoist priest sighed, holding the Blood Pearl.
Such a method is unheard of; the one who used it must be an extremely powerful senior expert.
After looking at it for a while, the white-haired Daoist priest returned the Blood Pearl to Song Shuhang. Then he bowed and said, "Old Daoist Horizon, young friend, do you intend to trade this pearl formed from the Blood Demon?"
Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. "Daoist Horizon, what do you wish to use to trade for this Blood Pearl?"
He's desperately short of money right now!
Let's exchange it for Spirit Stone! He loves Spirit Stone the most.
This is Blood Pearl transformed from Blood Demon at the Sixth-Grade True Lord level! It should be easy to exchange it for a Grade-Five Spirit Stones, right?
Horizon smiled. This young friend Song Shuhang has agreed to the deal, that's wonderful.
So, what's the best thing to use for trading?
Horizon pondered for a moment.
For the past few centuries, he has been studying the Blood Demon. This Blood Pearl contains powerful spiritual energy. Through this Blood Pearl, he can deduce the strength of the 'Blood Demon' that was transformed into the Blood Pearl —it must have been at least a Sixth-Grade True Lord level Blood Demon!
Sixth-Grade Blood Demon... could very well be the same Sixth-Grade Blood Demon that recently landed in China!
It is said that the Blood Demon was incredibly unlucky; it was wiped out by a group of powerful senior cultivators who were having a gathering shortly after landing.
Actually, on that day, Horizon also wanted to find the Blood Demon —because recently, he was practicing a special magical artifact that required the Blood Demon's power as its core.
He has been collecting items related to the Blood Demon, but the quality and quantity of the items he has collected are far from sufficient.
If he can successfully forge that set of magical artifacts, he will have an 80% chance of passing the 'Fifth-Grade barrier' that has been dragging on for nearly three hundred years.
Unfortunately... he had received inside information and pinpointed the most likely location for the Blood Demon to land.
But the Blood Demon didn't play by the rules. It changed its landing direction midway and landed in the middle of the group of powerful cultivators, courting its own death.
By the time Horizon returned to the Blood Demon's location, the Blood Demon had vanished without a trace.
Unexpectedly, not long afterward, he actually came into contact with the crystal formed from the Blood Demon's body!
This is fate.
[However, this Blood Pearl is extremely precious. If I were to trade it with Spirit Stone, it would seem as if I lacked sincerity. Moreover... this young fellow clearly has a powerful senior backer behind him.] Horizon thought to himself.
Unfortunately, Song Shuhang hadn't cultivated any Daoist arts like Mind Reading Technique, otherwise he would definitely have asked Daoist Horizon for help. No need to be too sincere, really, Spirit Stone transaction would have been fine!
Horizon gazed at the Blood Pearl, lost in thought. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked at Song Shuhang.
This fellow Daoist's cultivation level is still at the Second-Grade, Fourth Dantian [Dragon Body Dantian].
However, young fellow cultivator, your physical body is powerful, and your physique is already close to the level of the Seventh Dantian [Dragon Head Dantian], or even stronger! It is obvious that you have practiced a powerful body cultivation technique and have also used many precious pills to improve your physique.
Moreover, a bronze-colored light occasionally flashed between this fellow Daoist's brows. That was a sign that his spiritual power had reached the Third-Grade rank.
In that case... perhaps it unexpectedly meets the requirements!
After a moment's thought, Horizon asked, "Young friend, how many of these Blood Pearl do you have?" He had already sensed the presence of other Blood Demon scents on Shuhang. There was definitely more than one Blood Demon Pearl.
"Nearly twenty in total," Song Shuhang replied.
Twenty? What a pleasant surprise! Horizon originally thought that Song Shuhang would only have four or five Blood Pearl at most.
To my surprise, there were a full twenty of them, all of them high quality, Sixth-Grade!
That would be more than enough for him to complete that set of special magical artifacts—a set of magical treasures he spent nearly three hundred years crafting specifically for himself to overcome tribulations!
After waiting for nearly three hundred years, has his opportunity finally arrived?
Then Horizon spoke up, "Young friend, how about this... this Old Daoist will exchange it with you by imparting his cultivation power. Five Blood Pearl are equivalent to one year's cultivation power, how about I impart four years' worth of cultivation power to you?"
Imparting internal energy? Can cultivators impart internal energy? Song Shuhang wondered.
"Ah, I remember you!" Yu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "No wonder the name Horizon sounded familiar, you're the 'Transmission Maniac'! Shuhang, absolutely do not let him transfer his power, let's go!"
