Once We Part, We Will Not Meet Again

Inside the Cave where Qing Shuang was in seclusion, a low couch had appeared.

Song Wen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

In his arms, Qing Shuang had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Song Wen's victory was entirely due to the Greenwood Spirit Liquid, coupled with Qing Shuang's relatively weak physical body, which couldn't withstand it...

"Um..."

Qing Shuang let out a soft, slightly painful sound as she slowly woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Song Wen staring at her.

"Extreme Yin, how long have I been asleep?"

It's truly rare to see a Mahayana stage cultivator fall asleep.

"Not long after," Song Wen said, "Get up."

As soon as Qing Shuang propped herself up, she felt a soreness and pain, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Is he alright?" Song Wen asked.

"It's nothing," Qing Shuang said. "A little rest and I'll recover."

Song Wen flipped his hand and took out a Storage Bag, placing it in Qing Shuang's hand.

"Here are some Cultivation Resources that you should be able to use."

Qing Shuang scanned the area with her Divine Sense, and her expression changed slightly.

"Senior, this is far too much. It's enough for me to cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, or even become an immortal."

"You may accept it," Song Wen replied.

He did offer a considerable amount of things—pills, spiritual herbs, and Spirit Stone —enough for Qing Shuang to cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. However, to say that he would help her become an immortal would be an exaggeration.

"Thank you very much, senior. It would be impolite of me to refuse such a gift," Qing Shuang said.

Song Wen turned over, got out of bed, and asked as he dressed.

What are your plans next?

"I plan to return to Cold River Gate. With these heavenly materials and earthly treasures given to me by my senior, I no longer need to worry about Cultivation Resources and can focus solely on cultivation."

Qing Shuang hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Where will you cultivate in the future, senior? Will we... ever meet again?"

"If fate allows, we will meet again," Song Wen said.

Upon hearing Song Wen's clearly perfunctory words, a fleeting look of desolation crossed Qing Shuang's eyes.

"Alright, let's say goodbye here. If I have the chance in the future, I will visit you at Cold River Gate."

After finishing his sentence, Song Wen walked out of the Cave.

As Song Wen's figure receded into the distance, Qing Shuang called out.

"Extreme Yin, you mustn't go back on your word. I'll be waiting for you at Cold River Gate."

The words echoed in the Cave, but Song Wen was nowhere to be seen.

The sky was clear and blue, as if it had been washed clean.

Song Wen floated in the air, moving slowly.

Looking at the few sparse white clouds in the distance, Song Wen pondered where to go.

Next, one needs a place abundant with Immortal Spiritual Qi to cultivate and refine one's cultivation. Of course, one can also refine one's cultivation by absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi from Immortal Spirit Stones.

Song Wen is not short of Immortal Spirit Stones. He currently possesses over ten thousand Mid-grade Immortal Spirit Stones and over six hundred thousand Low-grade Immortal Spirit Stones, making him an extremely wealthy individual among the Lingxu Dao Immortal.

In this way, choosing a secluded cave abode becomes easy; any quiet place will suffice.

However, the information about the Fengdu Poison Sea still needs to be investigated as soon as possible; Jiang Wanyue is waiting for his reply.

"In that case, let's make a trip to Central Mu City first."

Having made up his mind, Song Wen suddenly accelerated and sped away into the distance.

Central Mu City.

As soon as Song Wen flew over the city, a powerful Immortal Spiritual Qi surged towards him, causing him to take a deep breath.

If one could cultivate in this city year-round, it would save a considerable amount of Immortal Spirit Stones.

However, he has too many secrets, making it inconvenient for him to rent a place in the city, and the rent would probably be quite expensive.

While pondering, Song Wen landed on the street.

In order to investigate Xiao Yuankui and the Xiao Household, he had stayed in Central Mu City for a period of time and had a general understanding of the location of the shops in the city, especially the intelligence shops.

Song Wen went straight to the nearest intelligence shop to inquire about information regarding the Fengdu Poison Sea.

However, after visiting several intelligence shops, they were unable to purchase any useful information, only knowing that the Fengdu Poison Sea was a dangerous place with a notorious reputation.

This left Song Wen at a loss for what to do.

I've visited several intelligence shops, big and small, but none of them have any information about the Fengdu Poison Sea. I'm afraid that even if I search all the intelligence shops in the city, I'll still find little to no information.

Just as he was hesitating, a smile suddenly appeared on Song Wen's face.

How could I forget about her!

Song Wen looked up, glanced around at the shops on both sides of the street, and then stepped into a shop not far away called 'Xianfu Teahouse'.

We booked a quiet tea room. The room was small, only a few dozen square meters, but the furnishings were quite exquisite, with tables, chairs, and low couches all provided.

After dismissing the servants, Song Wen took out Bai Jinge's Message Jade Slip.

If we're looking to get information about the Fengdu Poison Sea, probably no one is more suitable than Bai Jinge.

[Miss Bai, it has been almost a year since we parted in Great Granary City. I miss you day and night; I wonder if you are well?]

As soon as the message was sent, Song Wen received a reply from Bai Jinge.

[Extreme Yin, you finally sent me a message! The Teleportation Array from Great Granary City to Central Mu City has been open for a long time, but you didn't contact me. I was worried that something had happened to you.] Bai Jinge's tone was excited, but also revealed a deep sense of lingering fear.

[Miss Bai, I'm sorry to have worried you. I've been in Central Mu City for several months now, but something unexpected happened, which is why I haven't been able to contact you in time.] Song Wen Wendao.

"[Are you in trouble?]" Bai Jinge asked anxiously. "[Where are you? I'll gather some people and come to help you right away!]"

Song Wen's lips curled into a slight smile.

This woman really cares about his safety.

[No need to trouble Miss Bai. The problem has been resolved.]

[That's good.] Bai Jinge visibly relaxed, but then her tone changed, becoming resentful, [Extreme Yin, why are you still being so polite to me? You've already... done that to me, and you still call me 'Miss Bai'.]

[Then how should I address... Jinge?] Song Wen Wendao.

"[Okay.]" Bai Jinge replied happily, "[That's what my father calls me too. By the way, where are you now? I'll come see you right away.]"

[Xianfu Teahouse. However, if you come to see me in such a grand manner, what if your father finds out? Wouldn't he be displeased? After all, I am just a Rogue Cultivator. If your father finds out about our relationship, he might be furious.] Song Wen said.

[Enraged?] Bai Jinge seemed very puzzled. [Why is Father angry? We are in love, and you have saved my life many times. Why would Father stop us? If Father really cares that you are just Rogue Cultivator, why don't you join my Purple Star Immortal Sect?]

Bai Jinge's words were not without reason. However, Song Wen was still unsure after hearing them.

He told Bai Jinge quite a few lies.

Bai Jinge is easily deceived, and since her father is in charge of the vast Purple Star Immortal Sect, he certainly won't easily trust anyone. If someone were to thoroughly investigate the past, they might be able to uncover quite a few clues.

Moreover, Song Wen did not want to join the Purple Star Immortal Sect and be controlled by others at every turn.
