In the end, there was still no escaping it?
As soon as Song Shuhang finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fixed on him.
It was Senior White's gaze!
Senior White was rubbing his chin, deep in thought, staring intently at me.
No, really?
Could it be that Venerable White wants him to play the role of Senior Brother Gao Sheng? Song Shuhang felt uneasy.
No, we can't let Venerable White have such thoughts.
Song Shuhang had a premonition—whoever played the role of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' and repeatedly tormented the protagonist played by Venerable White in the movie's plot, using all sorts of martial arts techniques to beat him up in various ways, would have a 90% chance of encountering something bad after the movie Senior Brother Gao Sheng.
Furthermore, Song Shuhang felt that he had a 'kind' face, so playing the role of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng,' who was initially portrayed as a villain, must be very unsuitable, right?
But how can we dissuade Venerable White from his idea?
In that critical moment, Song Shuhang suddenly had a flash of inspiration; he thought of the omnipotent 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.
When we first discussed making a movie about Venerable White with the senior members in the group, many of them expressed great interest, and more than half of them even wanted to play a role in the movie.
In that case, there should be some senior members in the "Nine Provinces Number One Group" who would be interested in playing the role of "Senior Brother Gao Sheng," right?
That way, the problem can be solved.
So, Song Shuhang took the initiative to suggest, "Senior White, I have a great idea! Last time I wanted to make a movie, many seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' knew about it. Moreover, several seniors also wanted to play a role in the movie. Why don't we share the character description of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' and see which seniors are interested in the role? Then, we can choose one of them to play Senior Brother Gao Sheng Senior White?"
What a perfect idea! Among so many seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group,' there must be one who fits the image of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' in Venerable White's mind!
Venerable White felt that Shuhang's words made a lot of sense. He nodded and said, "Hmm, are all the fellow Daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group's and see if any fellow Daoists are interested in acting in them."
As for acting skills, apart from a few juniors, any member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group is guaranteed to be an acting master.
After all, most cultivators have played many different roles throughout their long lives. Some cultivators have been playing these roles since their great-grandfathers and have continued to play them up to their current generation.
Especially Copper Trigram Immortal Master, to be honest... Copper Trigram Immortal Master is the real acting talent in the group. If he wanted to, he could make a movie all by himself!
By constantly disguising himself as various characters and then using technology to edit the plot, a movie is created. And no one will believe that there is only one person playing the lead role in this movie.
"No problem, senior. After Gao Moumou wakes up, I'll have him work with Master Cloud-Swallowing to finalize the script, list out all the characters, and send it to the group space of 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'." Song Shuhang clenched his fist inwardly.
YES! We narrowly escaped disaster.
Venerable White smiled and nodded. He then looked Song Shuhang up and down before continuing to read the movie story written by Gao Moumou.
The opening story written by Gao Moumou is not long, especially the later plot, which consists of fragments of material heard from the Horizon ". Gao Moumou has not yet incorporated these material stories into the plot.
After reading the beginning of the story, Venerable White closed the script and muttered, "Why does the protagonist seem so pitiful?"
"Because this better highlights the hero's loneliness, and the tragic tone makes the protagonist's heroic image more complete and relatable. Moreover, these tragic experiences are also the protagonist's motivation to rise up against the enemy!" Song Shuhang explained—well, these explanations were all given to him by Gao Moumou.
Whether others believe it or not, Song Shuhang believed it.
"Yes, that's true. And to be honest, I think this kind of role is very interesting." Venerable White gently put the script away, and then he and Song Shuhang left Gao Moumou's room.
Shuhang and Senior White walked side by side.
"By the way, Shuhang, you've already advanced to the Third-Grade Realm, right? Then let's contact the Medicine Master when we have time and get the remaining complete <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique Thirty-Three Beast God Sect' who was captured by Phoenix Slayer Exterminator Phoenix," said Venerable White.
Song Shuhang originally wanted to bring up the matter of cultivation techniques with Venerable White, but unexpectedly Venerable White took the initiative to speak first.
"Senior White, in fact, I have already obtained the first four levels of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>." Song Shuhang chuckled and took out the thick gold chain.
After Song Shuhang deciphered the code on the gold chain, he obtained the <Whale Swallowing Technique>, which allowed him to complete the 'Thirty-Three Beasts Innate True Qi' within his body.
In addition, there are the first four levels of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>.
Song Shuhang relayed the first four levels of the cultivation technique he obtained from the golden chain to Senior White. He also told Venerable White about the golden chain and the password.
Venerable White's consciousness actively entered the Inheritance Space of the golden chain, came into contact with the inheritance of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>, and also came into contact with the 'Whale Swallowing Technique' and the first four layers of inheritance.
A few breaths later, the Venerable's consciousness withdrew from the Inheritance Space.
He stroked his chin, lost in thought.
After a long silence, Venerable White said, "The <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> is indeed as interesting as I imagined. There are many aspects of it that I can learn from. Come on, Shuhang, let's find a quiet place."
Song Shuhang and Venerable White arrived at the training room behind Yu Jiaojiao's villa.
Venerable White closed his eyes, and the third and fourth levels of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> appeared in his mind.
A moment later, Venerable White opened his eyes, and golden light shot out from them, manifesting into countless golden characters in the void. These golden characters formed thirty-three concentric rings, which rotated continuously in front of Venerable White.
Just like when this technique was taught to Song Shuhang, these thirty-three golden rune rings are the transformations of the third and fourth levels of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>.
The Venerable White gazed at the runes and fell into deep thought.
This version of the "Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique" was obtained from the Golden Chain's Inheritance Space. Unlike the technique traded by that "Thirty-Three Beast God Sect disciple" before, it contained many backdoors and loopholes.
"There's almost nothing that needs fixing. It truly lives up to its reputation as the supreme technique of the ancient 'Thirty-Three Beast God Sect.' It's almost perfect," said Venerable White.
Even so, the Venerable still reached out and made some modifications to several golden runes. He removed a few runes and then modified a few more.
These corrections are not due to any problems with the technique itself, but rather because, after Venerable White's modifications, the third and fourth levels of the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> are more compatible with Song Shuhang.
Because the first and second levels of cultivation techniques that Song Shuhang had previously practiced were also modified by Venerable White, there were some subtle differences between them and the original version.
"Very good, that's almost perfect." Venerable White nodded in satisfaction, pointed his hand in the void, and golden runes formed two cultivation techniques.
Having already gained experience, Song Shuhang didn't need Venerable White's reminder; he memorized the two cultivation techniques in the shortest possible time.
"You can Shuhang cultivating the third level now. The fourth level involves Innate True Qi. I have a few ideas that might be able to be incorporated. I'll try again in a while and see if I can improve it," Venerable White explained.
"Thank you, Senior White."
"You're welcome. And congratulations on your advancement to the Third-Grade, Shuhang," said Venerable White.
A cultivator at the Third-Grade Battle King level can generally live to be over three hundred years old, as long as they don't die in an accident or burn their lifespan to cast some forbidden spells.
Venerable White, "In that case, I should be able to see my young friend Shuhang again when I emerge from seclusion next time."
During his trip to the 'Longevity Immortal Cheng Lin's Cave-Dwelling Ruins, the Immortal', Venerable White gained many insights once again. In a while, he plans to go into seclusion again.
This seclusion might last a little longer, at least 150 years, or even close to 200 years.
Before going into seclusion, he wanted to finish filming this movie... In addition, Song Shuhang possessed a method to open a 'Forbidden Land'. Venerable White was very interested in both of these matters.
Therefore, I'll at least wait until these two matters are resolved before going into seclusion.
Song Shuhang smiled and said, "Then when Senior White comes out of seclusion next time, I'll come and pick you up."
"Hmm." When this matter was mentioned, Venerable White suddenly became somewhat dejected—after all, he had clearly managed to control his strange charm quite well, so why did he always feel that the fellow cultivators in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' were still consciously avoiding him?
For example, there's that red-faced giant, Xian Gong, who's now staying outside the villa, digging holes and traps.
So, what exactly was Lay Buddhist Xian Gong trying to achieve by digging so many traps?
"Oh, right, Shuhang." Suddenly, Venerable White seemed to remember something and spoke up.
Song Shuhang: "?"
Venerable White: "I've thought about it for a long time, and I've gone over the images of all the fellow Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' in my mind. After much thought, I feel that the role of 'Gao Sheng' is..."
"Wouldn't it be perfect if 'Senior Three Waves' played the role?" Song Shuhang blurted out. The daredevil Senior Three Waves would definitely love this daredevil character, right?
"No, Fellow Three Waves won't do." Venerable White shook his head, then said seriously, "I feel that you, young friend Shuhang, are very suitable."
Song Shuhang: "..."
In the end, was it inevitable?
