Special Ability: 'Lotus-Blossom Tongue'

"During the event, thirty Fifth-Grade demon corpses can be exchanged for a Virtuous Golden Lotus. An absolute bargain, but the exchange is only valid during the event period." The tone of True Lord Eternal Fire reminded Song Shuhang of street vendors hawking old cell phones for stainless steel basins, stainless steel kitchen knives...

"Fellow Eternal Fire Huo, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Fairy Lychee asked. The Lotus Seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus can not only awaken special abilities in people, but also extend the lifespan of cultivators and ordinary people by fifty years!

This is a miraculous elixir of lifespan. Just the promise of extending lifespan by fifty years is enough to attract many cultivators to stay. Especially for powerful cultivators with limited lifespans, let alone fifty years, even ten years of lifespan would be enough for them to risk everything.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." True Lord Eternal Fire chuckled and said, "So, fellow Daoists, are you interested in participating in this interesting activity?"

As he spoke, True Lord Eternal Fire's gaze was mainly fixed on Venerable White —his longing look was like that of a penniless man seeing billions in wealth. No, no, to be precise, it should be said that an unlucky man with the lowest rank (E) saw a messenger of good fortune.

True Lord Eternal Fire wanted to invite Venerable White to join their 'White Cloud Academy' camp.

Even if Venerable White did nothing, True Lord Eternal Fire only needed Venerable White to sit in the back and quietly be a handsome man and a mascot.

As long as Venerable White is present, the timing, location, and popular support will all be in the hands of 'White Cloud Academy'. At that time, the army of Nine Nether Demons can just sit back and wait to die!

"Eternal Fire, please don't keep staring at me like that, it's making me feel uneasy," said Venerable White.

True Lord Eternal Fire gave an awkward, dry laugh.

"However, I promised you I would help you resist the army of the Nine Nether Demons. After all, we have a long-standing friendship. And... I also need to film a few scenes." Venerable White said, stroking his chin.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Bai, it's wonderful that you've agreed to help." True Lord Eternal Fire said happily—on the day the Nine Nether Demons attack, he will have Venerable White guard the rear!

At this moment, Song Shuhang asked in confusion, "Senior White, what other shots do we need to film?"

The Venerable White pointed to himself and said, "We're still missing scenes of the protagonist [Ling Ye] fighting bloody battles on the front lines against the 'Evil Realm'. We need several different battle scenes. So this wave of Nine Nether Demons just in time. I'll fight my way in and out of their ranks seven times; then I'll change positions, change clothes, and fight again; then change clothes again and fight again. That way, we can film scenes of the protagonist Ling Ye fighting bloody battles 'time and time again' on the front lines."

"That makes sense," said Su Clan’s Sixteen.

The Fairy Lychee nodded in agreement.

Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and said, "But wouldn't it be very difficult to film such scenes? Besides, the members of the 'Jacob's Film Crew' are all ordinary people. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to have them film a movie under the attack of the Nine Nether Demons Army?"

The fact that this time the Eighth-Grade Evil Demon Broodmother- grade entity, was making a move, even with its oppressive aura, was enough to terrify the ordinary members of the 'Jacob's Film Crew'.

"Hmm, so I was thinking, when it comes to filming these scenes, let's have our own people film them. Someone in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' should have learned how to use a camera. We can film the footage first, then edit it and hand it over to the 'Jacob's Film Crew'," said Venerable White.

The Fairy Lychee raised her hand and said, "I... I... Senior White, I've already learned how to use a camera. However, if I'm in charge of filming, I can't go out to kill demons anymore. I'm very interested in the 'Virtuous Golden Lotus' Lotus Seed."

True Lord Eternal Fire felt that once the four of them, including Venerable White, brought up the topic of 'making a movie,' he was unable to join in, as if there was a generation gap between them.

Fortunately, Fairy Lychee's words finally gave True Lord Heng Huo an opportunity to interject. "Two 'Gentleman's Golden Lotus' seeds! Fellow Daoist Lychee, if you're willing to help Fellow Daoist Bai take the photos, our 'White Cloud Academy' will offer you two Golden Lotus seeds as payment, how about it?"

True Lord Eternal Fire knows that Venerable White is filming a movie. It's said that Venerable White is even the lead actor—it sounds amazing! After the movie is released, as long as the Confucian School can overcome this calamity, he will definitely take all his Confucian School disciples to the cinema to watch it!

"Haha, that's too kind of you," the Fairy Lychee said politely.

"＠＃％×Fairy, there's no need to be so polite with us! Besides, if any of you ＠＃％×Fairy have the corpse of the 'Nine Nether Demons,' just hand it over to me, and I'll exchange it all for 'Lotus Seed,'" said True Lord Eternal Fire, patting his chest.

Song Shuhang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "True Lord, if I have the corpse of the 'Nine Nether Demons' in my possession right now, can I exchange it for it?"

True Lord Eternal Fire readily replied, "We can exchange them, but, young friend Shuhang, do you possess thirty corpses of Fifth-Grade Nine Nether Demons?"

"Well, actually, we slaughtered a large number of Nine Nether Demons while filming yesterday, and there were quite a few corpses. Among them were several Sixth-Grade- rank demons. However, those corpses are not in my possession," Song Shuhang.

"As long as you're willing, young friend Shuhang, you can bring them here to exchange for—for fourth-grade Nine Nether Demons, other cultivators need four hundred to exchange for one 'Golden Lotus Seed,' but you can exchange three hundred for one; for fifth-grade Nine Nether Demons, other cultivators need thirty to exchange for one lotus seed, but you can exchange twenty; and for sixth-grade Nine Nether Demons, I'll exchange just one for you! We also accept other ordinary first- to third-grade Nine Nether Demons, but we can only exchange them for some spirit stones," True Monarch Heng Huo said, patting his chest.

"One can be exchanged for another? In that case..." Song Shuhang took out his 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' and rummaged through it.

"Found it." Song Shuhang took out the corpse of the 'Four-Headed Snake Demon' —the very same 'Four-Headed Snake Demon' that had the audacity to capture him and Venerable White.

True Lord Eternal Fire blinked – this young friend Song Shuhang actually possessed the corpse of Nine Nether Demons at the Sixth-Grade True Lord level? Judging from the corpse, it had only recently died.

This young friend is quite skilled.

However, this Four-Headed Snake Demon died a truly gruesome death. Its body looked as if it had been violently and repeatedly hammered and crushed with a hammer, and True Lord Eternal Fire felt pain all over his body just looking at it.

What kind of death would it take to resemble this Four-Headed Snake Demon?

"Senior Eternal Fire, would you like to exchange?" Song Shuhang asked.

"Change, of course change." True Lord Eternal Fire smiled and reached out to put the 'Four-Headed Snake Demon' into his spatial equipment.

Then, True Lord stretched out his other hand, revealing a golden Lotus Seed, and handed it to Song Shuhang.

These are the Lotus Seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus!

Song Shuhang took the Lotus Seed and examined it repeatedly.

It would extend his life by fifty years. If possible, he would try to collect as many as possible—to save for his family in the future.

"Shuhang, who are you going to give this Golden Lotus to? Why don't you find a pet and let it eat it? Let me tell you, birds are really interesting once they can talk. Much more fun than Doudou," Venerable White said from the side.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Senior White, do you think everyone is like you, Bai family?

"I want to try it myself and see how it goes," Song Shuhang said, wiping the Lotus Seed and putting it in his mouth.

Just before he was about to swallow, he suddenly remembered something.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently prayed to Senior White.

Venerable White: "..."

After finishing his prayer, Song Shuhang bit into the Lotus Seed.

Lotus Seed seeds have a bitter taste, especially the Lotus Seed core, which almost numbs Song Shuhang's mouth.

Five breaths later.

Song Shuhang opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

He felt his body had become much more energetic and vibrant, a feeling similar to the increased lifespan after surviving a tribulation—an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at him curiously. "So, what abilities have you awakened?"

"Could it be the ability for teeth to regenerate indefinitely?" Fairy Lychee wondered with some concern.

Song Shuhang sensed it carefully for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Haha, it's a special ability related to the Mouth Aperture!"

When Song Shuhang reached the First-Grade Realm, he awakened two innate abilities—one of which was the [Bullet Time] ability of his Eye Aperture Talent, which Song Shuhang called 'Expert's Vision'.

2. The Mouth Aperture Talent, 'Phantom Voice', when combined with the Lion's Roar, allowed Song Shuhang, First-Grade Realm at the time, to stun Second-Grade Realm cultivator for two to three moments.

When Song Shuhang made his wish to Venerable White, he specifically requested that his awakened ability be practical. He absolutely did not wish for abilities like hair enhancement or nail color change.

As expected, making a wish to Senior White was effective. His awakened ability is related to the Mouth Aperture, and it might be able to combine with the Mouth Aperture Talent 'Phantom Voice' to form a highly destructive talent ability!

"This looks really interesting, Shuhang, try it out!" Fairy Lychee asked curiously.

"Watch me." Song Shuhang took a deep breath.

Then he opened his mouth and exhaled softly, his tongue vibrating slightly as he exhaled.

The next moment... spiritual energy fluctuated in the void. The surrounding spiritual energy was pulled and gathered by an invisible hand. Finally, it formed a pure white lotus flower in front of Song Shuhang.

This lotus flower, as white as snow and carrying a hint of coolness, floats silently in mid-air. At the same time, a sweet fragrance emanates from the lotus, a scent that whets the appetite.

Something feels off.

"What... special ability is this?" Fairy Lychee covered her mouth with her hand and burst into laughter.

Su Clan’s Sixteen blinked.

Venerable White said, "That's why I said it before, it's better to feed it to pets. Pets can talk and live for over fifty years, they're much cuter than Doudou."

Song Shuhang: "..."

He stiffly turned his head and looked at True Lord Eternal Fire.

"Congratulations, young friend Song Shuhang. This special ability has been recorded before—it's the ability of 'Lotus-Blossom Tongue'," True Lord Eternal Fire Huo laughed and congratulated him.
