Now that Song Qingshu had learned the Tai Xuan Scripture, he naturally felt far more confident. Though he had not truly mastered it yet, he had at least gained a few more means of self-preservation. He no longer had to rely solely on the Soul Transfer technique and proceed as cautiously as before.
He first seized an island servant and used Soul Transfer to learn where Qi Fang was being held. Then he used the movement technique recorded in the Tai Xuan Scripture and rushed in that direction. Though he still could not reach the realm of ignoring gravity, it was already far superior to ordinary lightness skills.
Hero's Island's martial arts diagrams and texts were carved into the stone walls of mountain caves, while everyone's residences lay in a valley on the other side. A vast cluster of courtyards was arranged there in an orderly pattern. The rooms in the outer courtyards were clearly smaller, while the closer one got to the center, the more imposing the buildings became. The two innermost courtyards belonged to the island's two masters.
Song Qingshu had learned from the island servant that the Dragon Wood Island Masters had both been away from the island these past few days, and he could not help feeling secretly relieved. In the original story, those two could be described as unfathomably powerful. If he had been in peak condition, he might not have feared them, but now he could only rely on his half-learned Tai Xuan Scripture. His confidence was not nearly so great.
That mysterious distinguished guest's residence was near the two island masters' courtyards, right at the very center. Qi Fang, meanwhile, had been carefully washed, dressed, and made up by the island's servants and maids before being sent to that guest's residence.
