656. Venerable White Went to Read the Script!

The urination was just a joke; Song Shuhang certainly wouldn't actually imitate a lion and leave his breath in Lay Buddhist Xian Gong's trap. If he dared to do that, Lay Buddhist Xian Gong would definitely tie him up, throw him into the trap, and use him as live bait to lure the Dragon Demon.

The method by which cultivators leave behind their aura is actually quite simple. Both 'true qi' and 'spiritual power' are things that carry a strong personal aura.

Song Shuhang only needed to follow the instructions of Lay Buddhist Xian Gong and input his true energy into a transparent crystal at the center of the formation to leave his aura.

This transparent crystal is actually a spirit Spirit Stone that has 'exhausted its spiritual power'. After some processing, it can become a crystal that can be infused with true energy or spiritual power.

Actually, this was originally the work of a Cultivation World cultivator who wanted to research a method to turn Spirit Stone into 'rechargeable batteries'. Unfortunately, the research failed in the end, and only this semi-finished product was produced... The true energy and spiritual power inputted into this crystal could not be extracted and used.

After this method of making semi-finished products spread, cultivators discovered many ingenious uses for it. Some sects even placed such a semi-finished crystal inside their disciple tokens to record the disciple's identity.

During the time it takes to eat a meal, Lay Buddhist Xian Gong set up nearly twenty trap formations. Yu Jiaojiao's villa and a large area around it were all covered by hidden formations set up by Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

Song Shuhang followed Lay Buddhist Xian Gong on a tour, leaving his aura in all the formations.

"That's all for today." Lay Buddhist Xian Gong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow we'll continue setting up more formations. Ideally, these individual small formations should be linked together to form a large formation."

Song Shuhang, "No problem, senior. Just call me if you need any help."

"By the way, young friend Shuhang, has Fellow Daoist Bai also arrived?" Senior Xian Gong asked, having sensed Venerable White's aura while setting up the formation.

"Yes, Venerable White arrived just as I was calling you for dinner, Senior," Song Shuhang replied.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. "Senior Xian Gong, you're not skipping dinner because of Venerable White's arrival, are you? Actually, it's alright. Senior White can now control that strange charm of his freely and won't affect the people around him."

"Ahem, it's not because of Fellow Daoist Bai. My willpower is much stronger than you imagine. I really was just setting up an array and couldn't leave my body," said Lay Buddhist Xian Gong solemnly.

Since the layperson's face was naturally bright red, it was impossible to infer whether he was lying based on whether his face was red or not.

Senior Xian Gong said, "Actually, what I wanted to ask is, will Fellow Daoist Bai lend a helping hand when the time comes?"

"If the Dragon Demon attacks, Venerable White will definitely take action," Song Shuhang.

Lay Buddhist Xian Gong, "In that case, I'll have to think more about Fellow Daoist Bai's reward."

Song Shuhang: "Does Venerable White also require payment for his actions?"

"Absolutely. This time it's for our Dragon Demon. Whoever lends a helping hand, we should give them a red envelope as a token of our appreciation. Especially Fellow Daoist Bai, give him a red envelope for good luck," explained Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

Song Shuhang didn't understand but felt it was impressive.

"However, if Fellow Daoist Bai is going to help, what kind of reward should we give him?" Lay Buddhist Xian Gong pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up. "I've got it! I've thought of something good."

"What is it?"

"I've been researching Dragon Demon lately. Besides being used to make Dragon Demon Potion, Dragon Demon Dragon Demon are practically treasures from head to toe. Apart from their skin and tendons, their tailbone can be made into a magical artifact called 'Dragon-Tail Shadow Escape.' This artifact can slightly increase the flight speed of a flying sword, allowing it to break through its own speed limit. Fellow Daoist Bai, who loves flying swords, will surely love it," replied Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

Song Shuhang: "Could Senior Xian Gong make this magic weapon?" -- Acceleration-type magic weapons are indeed the type that Venerable White likes.

"Making this 'Dragon-Tail Shadow Escape' magic weapon isn't difficult. After we defeat the Dragon Demon, I'll personally make one for Fellow Daoist Bai. My weapon-refining and formation skills rank among the top five in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'," Lay Buddhist Xian Gong laughed heartily.

Song Shuhang completely believed this—because the layman was a man who survived a nuclear explosion head-on by relying on layers upon layers of formations.

When he first saw this message in the group chat, he thought that Lay Buddhist Xian Gong was absolutely amazing!

Song Shuhang, "When we defeat the Dragon Demon, the 'Dragon-Tail Shadow Escape' technique can give Senior White a surprise."

"I will make it myself. You can then give it to Fellow Daoist Bai. That's settled then," Xian Gong.

Song Shuhang: "No problem, leave it to me."

As the two men stared at the array of traps, the image of the arrogant 'Dragon Demon' descending from the sky, intent on taking Song Shuhang's life flashed through their minds. Then, Lay Buddhist Xian Gong and his friends launched a sudden attack, activating the trap arrays one by one, pinning the Dragon Demon to the ground, and beating it to death, ensuring its demise!

When the time comes, we'll take the skin if we want the skin, and the blood if we want the blood, and dismantle the Dragon Demon.

What a beautiful scene!

"Dragon Demon Potion!" Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

"Dragon Demon Potion!" Song Shuhang, clenching his fist.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Senior Xian Gong continued to test the large array he had set up.

Song Shuhang then took his leave and returned to the villa.

"What should we do next? Right, let's find Senior White first and learn the third level of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>." Song Shuhang slammed his fist on his hand.

He has now advanced to the Third-Grade Realm and it's time to learn the next cultivation technique and begin opening his Four Great Extraordinary Meridians. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. He needs to work even harder.

As I was pondering, Yu Jiaojiao approached me.

"Jiaojiao, have you seen Senior White?" Song Shuhang asked.

"Yes, Senior White is with Gao Moumou right now," Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"Where's Gao Moumou? What's Senior White doing there... Wait, could it be the script?" Song Shuhang suddenly asked.

Yu Jiaojiao: "Well, Senior White heard that the movie script has already been written with a beginning, so he went to find your close friend Gao Moumou with great interest. However, Gao Moumou is still drunk, and Venerable White is currently reading the script alone."

"Oh dear, I need to explain the opening of the script to Senior White." Song Shuhang was anxious; if Senior White thought that Gao Moumou's opening was an allusion to him, things would be difficult.

After all, the opening written by Gao Moumou is too similar to the plot of Senior White's "[Young Man in Blue with a White Horse]".

"Jiaojiao, I'm going to check on Senior White!" Song Shuhang said, and quickly ran towards Gao Moumou's room.

In Gao Moumou's room.

Thanks to Senior White, Gao Moumou was moved to bed by the servants, and finally no longer had to sleep on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Venerable White was flipping through the printed beginnings of the story, having already read quite a bit.

"Senior White!" Song Shuhang pushed open the door and called out softly.

"Shuhang, what's the matter? Why the rush?" Venerable White asked curiously.

"I heard you were reading the script, Senior White, so I came over to check." Song Shuhang chuckled, "Where are you reading Senior White?"

"Yes, it's a scene where the protagonist's senior sister is getting married to someone else, and the protagonist prepares to go to the wedding a few days in advance to confess his love to her at the wedding." Venerable White picked up the movie script and pointed to the page number.

You've already made it this far?

"What do you think of this plot, Senior White?" Song Shuhang tried to remain calm, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Venerable White.

"Hmm, although I've only just started watching, it seems pretty good so far," Venerable White chuckled.

Song Shuhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Jiaojiao told an interesting story at first, but the script as a whole feels very depressing, it doesn't seem like a comedy at all?" Venerable White asked curiously.

"It's because we suddenly felt we needed to make a film with depth, not just something funny," Song Shuhang said seriously.

"Oh." Venerable White nodded, then added, "Then the opening scene, where the senior brother keeps fighting the protagonist, reminded me of something from a long, long time ago, and it really touched me."

[Here we go again, we've finally come up with this plot.] Song Shuhang's heart clenched.

"Yes, that's why I immediately felt a connection with this protagonist Shuhang. I believe I can play this protagonist well when the time comes," Venerable White continued.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang was stunned at first, then almost burst into tears of excitement.

I was initially worried that Gao Moumou's willful beginning would provoke Venerable White. But to my surprise, the story of the protagonist's agonizing death actually created a strange sense of empathy.

Congratulations! Congratulations! My friend Gao Moumou, you've luckily escaped a Death Tribulation. I can finally go and cancel your Undersea Graveyard reservation with Yu Jiaojiao with peace of mind.

While pondering, Venerable White said again, "By the way, Shuhang, if I'm going to play the main character... who will play the senior brother in the opening? The one named 'Gao Sheng'?"

"This should be the role that my friend, the one who wrote the story, Gao Moumou, wants to play," Song Shuhang replied.

"Huh? Is he going to play the role?" Venerable White glanced at the drunken Gao Moumou, then shook his head. "No, his temperament isn't suitable for this 'Gao Sheng' senior brother, and besides, he hasn't cultivated before."

Song Shuhang laughed and said, "Then I'll discuss it with Gao Moumou. It's alright, he doesn't actually necessarily want to play this role."

Song Shuhang knew that the reason Gao Moumou created the character named 'Gao Sheng' was because Gao Moumou mistakenly thought that Song Shuhang was the protagonist. He was sure that if he were the protagonist, Gao Moumou might try to make it realistic and stage a scene of 'Gao Moumou beating up Song Shuhang'.

Ahem, so if you just explain to Gao Moumou that the lead role is played by Venerable White, Gao Moumou will definitely give up the role called 'Gao Sheng'.

He wanted to torment Song Shuhang, but he didn't want to torment Senior White.

"Senior White, who would you like to play the role of Gao Sheng? It's a fairly important supporting role," Song Shuhang.
