Young friend Shuhang, greatly admired by his seniors
Blood Qi Pill! It's a pill made from extremely precious medicinal herbs, unlike 'Body Tempering Liquid', it's First-Grade pill.
Even the lowest quality one, after taking one pill, can completely restore the Blood Qi Value of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Shuhang within half an hour. He can then ignore time restrictions and repeatedly practice the 'Vajra Foundation Fist' throughout the day!
This is an incredibly precious elixir that can help someone achieve Foundation Establishment much earlier!
After the incident with the Altar Master, Song Shuhang knew how precious elixirs were in the Cultivator World. That long-armed man was ready to die just because the Altar Master withheld a little bit of his Body Tempering Liquid! Let alone real elixirs like these?
Moreover, besides the elixirs, there are even more precious cultivation techniques for future generations!
"It's impossible not to be tempted," Song Shuhang sighed—but why did he feel like Senior Northern River was setting him up?
This premonition was so strong that he couldn't ignore it.
Let me think about it carefully. Which senior member in the group is so free that they would want to learn to drive?
It shouldn't be one of the few who appear frequently. The few who do appear often have already integrated into modern society and wouldn't need Song Shuhang's help to learn to drive.
The only ones who meet the requirements are the seniors mentioned in the group space who have been in seclusion for over a hundred years, know nothing about modern society, and are about to emerge from seclusion.
Is there any senior member in the group who is about to emerge from seclusion? Shuhang's mind.
"True Lord White?" he typed in the group chat.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator paused, somewhat embarrassed, "Haha, young friend Shuhang, you also know about True Lord White! Did you see our chat history last time? Just a little hint and you immediately thought of True Lord White, young friend, you truly have a brilliant mind!"
Then Northern River's Loose Cultivator continued, "Ahem, that's right! It's about to be that True Lord White is coming out of seclusion. True Lord White is very interested in mechanical devices. He's previously studied things like Wooden Horse and Flowing Ox, mechanical dragons, and puppet beasts. So whether it's cars or airplanes, he'll definitely want to study these things when he comes out of seclusion. So this is an opportunity! Senior True Lord White is always very generous; a little treasure slipping through his fingers will benefit you immensely! Also, I suggest that if you have time, you should also learn to fly. It will be incredibly beneficial. Don't worry... if you want to learn to fly, I can find a way for you to get your pilot's license in the shortest possible time."
Northern River's Loose Cultivator was very talkative, but his technique for changing the subject was terrible, and his attempts to steer the conversation were too obvious.
Song Shuhang quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic. "We'll talk about the pilot's license later. Senior Northern River, I just want to ask one question—why do you all seem so afraid of True Lord White? If I agree to bring True Lord White out of seclusion, shouldn't you at least give me some mental preparation?"
"Young friend Shuhang, you are mistaken!" Northern River's Loose Cultivator Zheng Yan, "None of us are afraid of True Lord White! On the contrary, we have the utmost respect and love for True Lord White. As for why I am avoiding him, that is a personal reason that is difficult to talk about. But I assure you with my Daoist name 'Northern River' that True Lord White is a very kind senior. Although he sometimes gets lost in thought, he is very supportive of his juniors! True Lord White's reputation for generosity is not for nothing!"
"So what exactly are you afraid of?" Song Shuhang thought to himself, feeling a lump in his throat.
Shuhang then asked, "Was it also due to personal reasons that Senior Three Waves had to avoid talking about?"
Mad Saber Three Waves replied, "Yes, it's also due to some personal reasons that can't be explained to outsiders. But True Lord White is truly a highly qualified senior, worthy of our respect and love! I can guarantee this with my Daoist name, 'Mad Saber Three Waves'!"
"... To be honest, the more you seniors act like this, the more uneasy I feel," Song Shuhang said.
"..." Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
"..." Mad Saber Three Waves.
"However, if True Lord White is truly the kind senior you describe, then I have no reason to refuse this mission."
Even knowing that Senior Northern River might be setting him up, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump into the trap.
The Blood Qi Pill was a benefit he couldn't refuse. If he missed this opportunity, he might need several years of accumulation to obtain even a small amount of Blood Qi Pill.
There's nothing wrong with him. Why would he give up the Blood Qi Pill that he could get right away and insist on waiting several years to work hard to obtain it?
Northern River's Loose Cultivator gave a thumbs up. "Young friend Shuhang, I admire your rationality and intelligence!"
Mad Saber Three Waves quickly followed up with a comment. "Young friend Shuhang, I, Lang, also admire you!"
The Copper Trigram Immortal Master appeared. "Young friend Shuhang, this immortal master also admires you!"
Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "Young friend Shuhang, I admire you!"
Drunk Moon Hermit: "We appreciate it together!"
Medicine Master: "I appreciate it!"
The Wandering Monk Profound Principle appeared and silently sent a thumbs-up emoji.
Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island appeared and sent a cute smiley face. "Although I don't know exactly what happened, I've always admired Senior Song."
Holy crap! Everyone in the group was just lurking and watching the show. As soon as I fell into their trap, they all lined up to watch.
Song Shuhang felt that he might be in deep trouble this time!
Facepalm Is it too late to back out now? If I do, will these seniors chase me down and hack me to death?
The pressure from the mountain of books was immense. "Senior Northern River, what if I back out now?"
Northern River's Loose Cultivator sent a smiling emoji but didn't say anything.
Mad Saber Three Waves also added a smile.
The Copper Trigram Immortal Master gave a shy smile.
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman added a grin.
Rows of smiling faces filled the Nine Provinces Number One Group, their smiles radiant.
Song Shuhang silently turned off his phone, never mentioning the word 'go back on his word' again.
What a misfortune!
When a person feels unhappy, misfortune will actually come knocking.
Song Shuhang had just put down his phone when it rang again.
"Who called?" Shuhang opened his phone and saw the name "Zhao Yaya" in large letters on the screen.
"Why is Zhao Yaya calling at this time? Is she asking me to have dinner together?" I swiped my finger across the screen and answered the call.
"Hey, sis, what's up?" Shuhang asked casually.
"Where are you?" Zhao Yaya's sweet voice came from behind.
"Hey, things aren't looking good!" Zhao Yaya's voice was sharper than usual, indicating that she was angry.
Was she being harassed at school?
"I'm on the subway back to Jiangnan University Town. I went out for a while earlier and am heading back now. I should be back in about half an hour," Song Shuhang replied.
"You're back pretty quickly," Zhao Yaya said casually. "I heard you traveled all the way to Guangyuan Road Yuanlong Herb Shop to buy some very rare medicinal herbs?"
"Hahaha, how did you know, sis?" Song Shuhang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I heard it from Yangde," Zhao Yaya replied.
Was it something you 'hit' and then 'heard'?!
Yangde, Yangde, are you alright? Don't die!
Zhao Yaya's voice rang out again. "Tell me the truth, Shuhang. Is there really something wrong with your health?"
"How could that be? I'm perfectly healthy, absolutely no problem!" Song Shuhang hurriedly replied, "I was just buying some herbs for a friend to check out, not for myself. Besides, I hadn't even gotten to the pharmacy yet; something came up on the way and I had to come back first."
"That's good... Call me when you get to school, I need to talk to you." Zhao Yaya said, and hung up before Shuhang could reply.
Holding her phone, Zhao Yaya frowned slightly, her heart filled with worry.
When she first encountered that strange, highly tonifying Chinese medicine prescription in Shuhang's hands, she could believe it was a coincidence. But how could she not have doubts when Shuhang came into contact with the strange Chinese medicine again?
She recalled the day she met Shuhang Song Shuhang. His face was deathly pale, nothing like the intense workout he had described—even after a marathon, one shouldn't be pale as a ghost, right?
This kid, could he really have some kind of illness and be secretly hiding it from his family?
No, she absolutely has to take him to the hospital for a thorough checkup. What if something happens to Shuhang? How will she explain it to her aunt?!
On the subway.
Song Shuhang gripped his phone stiffly, completely dumbfounded.
Oh no, judging from Zhao Yaya's tone, she definitely misunderstood!
Shuhang quickly opened his phone and entered the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
"My sister found out I just came back from the pharmacy and she's misunderstanding that I have some kind of hidden illness. What should I do? I need help urgently!"
