Why Do the Seniors Use Chat Apps to Communicate?

"Speaking of which, I've shown my face to that guy for so long... he should remember me, right? I wonder when he'll come to the university town with a group to mess with me?" Song Shuhang tossed his bulging wallet in his hand, hoping the guy would come with a group to mess with him, so he could practice his Basic Fist Technique while he was at it?

Real combat can deepen his understanding of Basic Fist Technique.

Although it's a bit beneath a cultivator to practice on ordinary people... he doesn't have a good opponent right now. He should hurry up and become stronger so he can find a suitable sparring partner.

After grabbing a quick bite to fill his stomach, Shuhang rushed to the Medicine Master's residence to assist his senior in perfecting the Body Tempering Liquid, as usual.

This time, the Medicine Master added two more common Chinese herbs, increasing the final amount of the 'Body Tempering Liquid' by an extra spoonful.

It was already past four in the afternoon when the medicine-making was finished.

"Very good, my thinking these past few days has been correct. In another two days, I will be able to complete the improvement of this new formula." The Medicine Master was satisfied. Then he handed over the 'Body Tempering Liquid' and a Stench Pill he had obtained this time to Shuhang.

"Thank you, senior." Song Shuhang accepted the two treasures and leaned back in his chair to recover from the fatigue of refining pills.

"Also, tomorrow I'll have Ziyan bring over a 'Fire-Control Artifact,' and I'll give you some time to familiarize yourself with Fire-Control Artifact. Before I leave the Jiangnan Region, I'll let you learn to use the alchemy furnace to try out the new formula," the Medicine Master laughed heartily.

Once the Body Tempering Liquid formula is improved, he will leave the Jiangnan Region, taking the opportunity to let Song Shuhang familiarize himself with the alchemy furnace.

"No problem. But... Senior, are you leaving so soon?" Song Shuhang was happy to play along. Actually, he could unintentionally learn a lot about alchemy from the Medicine Master, and this knowledge was invaluable!

"I've been here for quite a while now. If I stay any longer, a lot of people wanting pills will come knocking, which will be incredibly troublesome." The Medicine Master, engrossed in recording the data from this experiment in his notebook, asked without looking up, "By the way, have there been any problems with your cultivation these past two days?"

"Yes, the cultivation is going smoothly." Song Shuhang nodded, after all, it was only the most basic Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment.

"That's good. Remember, if you have any questions, ask the seniors in the group immediately. Don't try to figure it out on your own. If something goes wrong, your path to cultivation will come to an end," the Medicine Master cautiously advised.

"Yes, I will keep it in mind. By the way, senior, I would like to ask if the Buddhist Sect practice of 'Soul Deliverance' strengthens one's own physique?" Song Shuhang thought of the Foreign Monk on the subway.

Although the physical enhancement during each transformation is not much, it is much more effective than simply running.

"Now that you mention it, I do recall it. Every time a Buddhist Sect helps a soul find peace, he gains a Merit Power. At the First-Grade Realm, this can enhance physical strength. However, it has little effect on cultivators at the Second-Grade or higher. What? Are you envious and want to shave your head and become a monk, escaping into the Buddhist Sect? Nowadays, society emphasizes harmony and survival, so entering the Buddhist order is a good choice," the Medicine Master asked with a smile.

"Senior, please don't joke around. I'm planning to find a girlfriend during my university years." Song Shuhang waved his hands repeatedly, then said, "I just want to know, does the Daoist School have similar methods for converting the dead? And can it also enhance one's physique?"

"There probably are, but I mainly focus on alchemy and don't know much about the Five-Virtues Cultivation Method. You can ask in the group when you have time; maybe some senior has the Daoist School Soul-Deliverance Method." The Medicine Master chuckled. His sect was all about alchemy, and he had never lacked any kind of pills since childhood. When he was in Foundation Establishment Blood Qi Pill were supplied in unlimited quantities, so he never even thought about learning any method for Soul Deliverance.

Song Shuhang nodded silently, but this matter was not urgent.

"By the way, senior, when I was killing the Altar Master this time, I encountered a Buddhist School Foreign Monk." Song Shuhang briefly described the incident with the Foreign Monk on the subway to the Medicine Master.

"I was a little concerned about that guy. I thought he had some tricks up his sleeve to easily solve the problem of the Altar Master's corpse on the subway. I didn't expect that guy to just take the blame so brazenly," Song Shuhang said, both amused and exasperated.

"Hmph, what an interesting fellow." The Medicine Master couldn't help but chuckle. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think you don't need to worry too much. Since the other party is confident in taking the blame, he must have a way to escape. In recent years, the Mortal World has developed faster and faster, and the Cultivator World's penetration into the Mortal World has become deeper and deeper. Perhaps that Foreign Monk will get away soon."

With the Medicine Master's confirmation, Song Shuhang felt much more at ease.

I hope that the Foreign Monk is doing well.

"I hope everything will be alright?" Song Shuhang's mind flashed back to the scene of the Foreign Monk's gleaming white teeth when he was arrested.

The Medicine Master continued to jot down notes rapidly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Shuhang found a spot nearby and practiced the Vajra Foundation Fist and the True Self Meditation Scripture. After returning to school, he still had to find a place to secretly practice, and he also had to worry about being seen.

It's the most reassuring place to cultivate here with the Medicine Master.

After completing a training session, Song Shuhang guided his Blood Qi Value into his Heart Aperture. He let out a deep breath, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Meanwhile, the Medicine Master had finished recording. He nodded to Shuhang: "Not bad, you've already mastered the ability to control and guide the amount of Blood Qi Value into your Heart Aperture. Your Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment is within reach."

"Hehe." Song Shuhang smiled shyly.

Then, taking advantage of a spare moment, the Medicine Master began to explain some basic knowledge about cultivation to Shuhang, as well as things to pay attention to during cultivation.

During their casual conversation, Song Shuhang finally asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "Speaking of which, senior... there's something that's been bothering me."

"What's up?"

"Why do the seniors use chat software to communicate? I think there must be some kind of 'Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission' or other powerful communication methods in immortal arts, right? Wouldn't that be more sophisticated, safer, and more confidential?" Song Shuhang asked. That way, at least people like him who accidentally joined the group wouldn't happen, right?

"Is there even a question? It's simple and convenient! What era are we living in? We have all sorts of online communication tools available. Why use a spell that can only transmit sound over long distances? Look at us now, all we need is a chat group. We can chat via text, voice, and video; the chat content can be saved for easy retrieval. There are also various mini-games to keep us entertained, like Farmville and Shooting Games. Spells like 'Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission over long distances' have spatial limitations. And when multiple people use them continuously, it can cause all sorts of chaos. If you were us, what would you choose?" the senior Medicine Master countered.

"..."

"To put it in your opinion, the brick-like mobile phones of decades ago and today's smartphones are both tools for remote communication. But now, if I gave you a choice, would you prefer to carry a huge brick-like mobile phone or a small, feature-rich smartphone when you go out? If you choose the brick-like phone, then I can only say that you're really bored."

"What you said makes so much sense, senior." Song Shuhang sighed, speechless.

"Speaking of which, remember to upgrade the farmland on your farm as soon as possible! It's really hard work waiting for your fruits to ripen, it takes a long time. Also, if you have time, go learn to drive... You only have so many Blood Qi Pills, it's not enough. So, don't think about refusing Northern River. Accept this harsh reality." The Medicine Master closed his notebook and earnestly instructed Shuhang.

Song Shuhang: "..."
