This Time, We Must Catch the Dragon Demon!

"Can the location of the Willow Tree Demon be pinpointed?"

"No problem, I've been responsible for locating her. The Willow Tree Demon moved a bit before, but now it's settled in one spot in China. It's confirmed that the target is there."

"I suggest, just to be on the safe side, we send a vanguard up to scout ahead, while we provide backup from behind."

"Feasible, agreed."

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Alright, it's settled then! May the Nine Netherworld protect us and wish us a successful mission!"

"Protection from the Nine Netherworld!"

"Protection from the Nine Netherworld!"

The six cave masters of [Rebirth Mountain] happily decided on their action plan.

The cave masters of the six True Lords, leading their elite subordinates, constitute a force not to be underestimated!

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

The film set.

The second act and the second scene have already begun setup, and filming is in preparation.

The second scene was set on the outskirts of Venerable White's Vacation Mountain, where there was a valley path, perfect for filming the scene where the protagonist 'Ling Ye' was on his way to his senior sister's wedding ceremony, but was attacked by a ferocious beast.

Venerable White and the Snow Wolf Cave Master's family had already arrived at the scene to familiarize themselves with the location and discuss how to act out the fight scenes.

The Venerable White is becoming more and more knowledgeable about filmmaking!

The Cloud-Swallowing Monk, Yu Jiaojiao, and Gao Moumou also arrived at the filming location.

However, Song Shuhang, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Zui* Jushi, and several senior members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group did not immediately arrive at the filming location. They gathered outside the third scene of the second act—the scene where the Medicine Master and Jiang Ziyan get married—ready to watch a good show.

"It's out, it's out!" Fairy Lychee, with her keen eyesight, exclaimed with a laugh.

Then, the Medicine Master and Jiang Ziyan took out the bound Mad Saber Three Waves. At this time, Three Waves's Daoist robe was decorated with many festive red ornaments.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer adjusted his glasses and asked, "Medicine Master, what exactly is this 'good show' you were talking about? Mad Saber Three Waves doesn't seem to have changed at all?"

"No rush, the medicine has only just begun to take effect; the changes will come soon." The Medicine Master chuckled, then looked at the Drunken Hermit and asked, "Hermit, do you still have that special rope?"

Actually, if you can't remember the layman's full name, you can just call him "layman" for short. Three Waves Sanlang is just too confident and too reckless.

"There's still a lot left, how much longer do you need, Medicine Master?" asked the Drunken Hermit.

Jiang Ziyan replied, "Yes, twenty or thirty meters long would be about right."

The drunken hermit reached into his robes and pulled out a rope over thirty meters long—heaven knows what he was going to do with so many ropes?

"Thank you, layman." The Medicine Master smiled slightly and took the rope.

"You're welcome," said the Drunken Hermit. Suddenly, he asked with some anticipation, "Medicine Master... can you remember my name?"

Previously, when Mad Saber Three Waves repeatedly guessed his name incorrectly, the Hermit appeared calm and collected, but it seemed he was still somewhat hurt inside?

"Haha, don't worry, Layman, Fellow Northern River has written down your Daoist name on a little slip of paper and pasted it on the computer! We'll just ask Fellow Northern River." The Medicine Master quickly passed the buck to Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator smiled slightly and said confidently, "Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent, don't worry, I can remember your name without even needing a slip of paper."

Drunk Moon Hermit paused, then grasped Northern River's Loose Cultivator's hand with emotion. "Old Northern River, you're still the most reliable."

"You're welcome, Zuiyue." Northern River's Loose Cultivator smiled slightly—but there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Ever since he misremembered the name of the lay Buddhist on the small note stuck next to his laptop last time, Northern River's Loose Cultivator had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

If I can't remember the real name of the Drunken Hermit, then I'll just remember a wrong one!

As long as the pronunciation is the same, won't the effect be the same?

Northern River's Loose Cultivator praised himself for his cleverness.

Finally, he chose the name 'Drunken Mountain Hermit', which was similar to the original Daoist name of the Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent. Sure enough, the Northern River's Loose Cultivator remembered this obviously wrong Daoist name immediately.

However... Northern River's Loose Cultivator still couldn't remember exactly what the layman's original name was.

Is it drunken revelry? Drunken promise? The most said? The most leaping? Or just reading with the mouth?

There are also many homophones for the word "zui" and the word "yue".

But it doesn't matter. Before the Drunken Hermit is promoted to the Eighth-Grade Profound Sage, he only needs to remember the Daoist name 'Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent'.

Anyway, the effect is the same whether you read it out or not!

Unaware of the true story, the "Drunk Moon Hermit" was deeply moved.

Just then, Young Master Phoenix Slayer suddenly whispered to his fellow Daoist beside him, "Northern River actually managed to remember the Hermit's name? Do you think Northern River might have been chanting 'Hermit's name hundreds of times every day these past few days? And finally memorized it?"

Mad Saber Three Waves: "Ughhhh!" [Damn it, this was originally what I wanted to do, but Northern River beat me to it!]

True Lord Dustfall stroked his chin. "Why do I feel like there's something off about the scene Phoenix Slayer Miefeng described?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Lychee's eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately imagined the scene and said, "Hmm~ Northern River has been gazing at the layman's name with such affection all this time? Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter."

Eastern Six: "Besides, Northern River has to recite it hundreds of times every day. Hmm~"

Jiang Ziyan: "Moreover, Northern River Beihe may have been reciting the layman's name in various tones, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes gentle, sometimes soft?"

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "Is this love?"

Song Shuhang: "..."

Holy crap, even ＠＃％×Fairy beings can have terrifying topics of conversation when they get together.

Drunk Moon Hermit: "..."

Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "..."

Don't think I can't hear you just because you're whispering. We're all cultivators, and we all know how sharp our hearing is. If you're so capable, try using Secret Voice Transmission!

And Miss Jiang Ziyan, believe it or not, I'll flip the table! I just helped your Medicine Master alleviate the [Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent's name crisis]!

The Medicine Master felt extremely embarrassed, as he had shifted the blame onto Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

So he quickly came to the rescue of Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "Hey, Ziyan, stop chatting and come help me tie Three Waves up with a rope, the medicine is about to take effect!"

Jiang Ziyan's eyes darkened slightly, and she obediently ran to the Medicine Master's side. The two tied the rope to the Mad Saber Three Waves's feet, as if they were tying a balloon.

As Mad Saber Three Waves pondered this, he suddenly felt his entire body begin to heat up.

"It's starting," Jiang Ziyan said, then she tied a roll of red cloth to Mad Saber Three Waves's foot.

The Medicine Master held one end of the rope with one hand and placed the other hand lightly on front of Three Waves: "I'm going to perform a magic trick for everyone!"

All the fellow cultivators turned their attention to the Medicine Master and Mad Saber Three Waves.

"Swell up, Mad Saber Three Waves!" the Medicine Master roared in a deep voice.

He has the flair of a top-tier magician!

The next moment, Mad Saber Three Waves's body swelled up rapidly as if it had been inflated.

In the blink of an eye, Mad Saber Three Waves' body had swelled into a large sphere, and... his body began to float!

Fortunately, he was wearing a Daoist robe provided by the 'True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey'. Although this type of Daoist robe has little defensive capability, it comes with basic abilities such as 'expansion and shrinkage' and 'cleansing clothes', so it won't tear.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Mad Saber Three Waves panicked. What was happening to his body? What kind of awful drug had the Medicine Master given him? Why was his body swollen like this?

"This is a type of Gu worm, one that I tried to create when I was young, but I only recently found the time to finish it," the Medicine Master explained with a smile. "This Gu is completely harmless to cultivators. When I created it, I was only at the Second-Grade rank, a very long way from the Fourth-Grade Realm. Back then, I especially envied Fourth-Grade Cultivator who could fly freely in the sky."

Song Shuhang agreed, "I can understand that, Senior Medicine Master. The blue sky is a man's romance. Every man has a dream of the blue sky in his heart!"

"Yes, that's it." The Medicine Master said, "Since I studied medicine making and alchemy, I wanted to realize this dream ahead of time through pills. I wanted to make things like 'Floating-Sky Pill' and 'Heavenward Potion'... but unfortunately, all of these pills failed in the end. And the semi-finished product that was left was the 'Balloon Gu' that Three Waves Sanlang just took."

The fellow cultivators realized—in short, this was one of the failed, unfinished products of the Medicine Master. Using it on Fellow Cultivator Three Waves was making the best use of it.

"Senior Medicine Master, how long will this 'Balloon Gu' last?" Song Shuhang asked.

"I'll control the timing, so don't worry, it won't cause any harm to Fellow Three Waves. It'll just be a bit spectacular when the 'Balloon Gu' is dispelled." The Medicine Master smiled slightly. "When we get to the second act, third scene, we can use Three Waves Sanlang to add some festive effect."

Song Shuhang: "..."

When it comes to adding a festive touch, explosions are the only thing that comes to mind, right? Oh no... I mean firecrackers!

In other words, when the 'Balloon Gu' is dispelled, will Senior Three Waves explode?

No, no, the Medicine Master wouldn't be that cruel... But at least it would create a 'slightly spectacular' scene. Firecracker-like sound effects would definitely be a must, right?

As they were talking, the Mad Saber Three Waves hot air balloon had already floated to a height of about twenty-five meters, drifting with the wind.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh," Mad Saber Three Waves cried out anxiously.

How embarrassing!

I should have angered Venerable White and gambled on whether I'd be sent away by the 'Disposable Flying Sword'!

After watching the scene of Mad Saber Three Waves floating in the air, the fellow Daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group rushed to the second scene of the second act to watch the scene of the Snow Wolf Cave Master's family versus the Venerable White.

At this moment, Song Shuhang received a phone call from the elder Xian Gong.

"Is young friend Shuhang here? I have moved all the traps that I set up near Fellow Daoist 'Yu Jiaojiao's' villa here. Now, leave your presence here again. This time, we must capture that 'Dragon Demon'," said Lay Buddhist Xian Gong firmly.
