Fire Gang Wood

The place where Xing Chang and Song Wen met was the same Small Courtyard as yesterday.

The gate to the Small Courtyard has been repaired.

The flesh and wood chips outside the courtyard were also cleared away.

When Song Wen stepped into the Small Courtyard, he finally understood why Song Wen Xing Chang had come to the Listening Wind Pavilion again.

Xing Chang did not come alone; there was another person sitting in the courtyard.

A woman of unparalleled beauty, seemingly untouched by the passage of time.

Xing Chang's mother -- Shan Yue.

Shan Yue did not show any indifference to Song Wen's arrival; Song Wen simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

Although Song Wen had once saved her son, Shan Yue considered herself superior and disdained to have much interaction with Song Wen.

In Shan Yue's eyes, Rogue Cultivator like Song Wen was like a peasant in the mortal world, a born lowly person.

She had already thanked Song Wen in person for saving her son.

For a lowly commoner like Song Wen, the fact that the woman of the Xing Family patriarch, even if she was just a concubine, expressed her gratitude in person was already an immense favor.

The mother and son have already repaid Song Wen's kindness.

As for Song Wen teaching Xing Chang Thunder Method, that was paid for with Spirit Stone, so Song Wen will do his best to teach her child well.

Xing Chang was extremely concerned about the Spell Arts Tournament three years later. After parting ways with Song Wen yesterday, he went back and practiced the Palm Thunder diligently.

Today, he was clearly more skilled at unleashing Palm Thunder.

As the Palm Thunder exploded in mid-air, Bai Man reappeared outside the courtyard.

"Xing Chang, do you really think I, Bai Man, am made of clay? You've come to provoke me time and time again. Aren't you afraid I'll report this to the eldest young master?"

Bai Man's angry voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

"Squeak!"

The courtyard gate opened without any wind.

Shan Yue stood up from the stone bench and walked outside.

"My son is just practicing Thunder Method at the Listening Wind Pavilion. It hasn't affected Listening Wind Pavilion's business at all. You're making such a fuss here. Do you really think our mother and son are weak and easy to bully?"

Although his Shan Yue level was not high, his aura was very powerful.

Bai Man was Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, two minor realms higher than her, yet she completely disregarded him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Man's heart tightened. She had sensed earlier that there were three people in the courtyard.

Besides Song Wen and Xing Chang, who appeared yesterday, there was another woman.

To her utter surprise, this woman was actually Xing Chang's mother, one of Xing Gaohan's most favored concubines.

Shan Yue actually lowered himself to appear at the Listening Wind Pavilion, getting involved in the disputes among these younger generation members.

Even if Xing Liren were here today, he would still have to give Shan Yue the respect she deserves.

"Madam Xing..."

Bai Man was at a loss as to how to face the Shan Yue.

Shan Yue said, "A mere steward of the Listening Wind Pavilion dares to yell at me like that? Has he forgotten who Fangzhu City is?"

Bai Man's face paled, and she looked somewhat flustered.

"Madam Xing, Listening Wind Pavilion does have rules prohibiting the use of Law Technique here, so as not to disturb other guests."

"Rules?" Shan Yue scoffed.

"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me about rules? Let me tell you, no one can stop my son from cultivating Thunder Method here today, not even Xing Liren himself!"

Faced with Shan Yue's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, Bai Man was furious, but she was helpless and didn't even dare to argue with him.

Bai Man turned to leave, intending to inform Xing Liren about the matter and let Xing Liren make the decision.

However, just as she turned to leave, Shan Yue's sarcastic voice came from behind her.

"What, you know you're in the wrong, so you're leaving already? You're just a dog Xing Family, daring to bark at your master."

Amidst the relentless humiliation and defiant pronouncements of the powerful Shan Yue, Bai Man vanished from sight.

The Shan Yue is like a triumphant general returning home, with overwhelming momentum.

Her eyes revealed smugness and pride. She raised her long, snow-white neck, walked to the stone table, and sat down gracefully.

"Chang'er, continue your cultivation. No one will disturb you today."

Xing Chang was humiliated by Bai Man yesterday, but his mother taught Bai Man a lesson today, which made Xing Chang extremely happy.

"Mother, don't worry. I will cultivate my Thunder Method diligently and will definitely make a name for myself at the Spell Arts Tournament, bringing glory to you."

Song Wen stood aside, watching this bizarre mother and son, speechless with astonishment.

Like mother, like son.

"Wei Ding, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and teach my son Thunder Method. If my son can't achieve a ranking in the Spell Arts Tournament, then it's your incompetence, your poor teaching."

Suddenly, Shan Yue spoke to Song Wen in a condescending manner.

"Yes, Madam Xing."

Two hours later, the Xing Chang finished his cultivation.

As Xing Chang and Shan Yue were about to leave, Shan Yue tossed a cloth bag to Song Wen.

"This is a reward for you. Serve my son well, and you'll be well rewarded."

After saying that, Shan Yue and Xing Chang boarded a spaceship and flew into the sky.

Song Wen weighed the cloth bag in his hand.

A mere hundred low-grade Spirit Stone!

However, when Shan Yue threw out this bag of Spirit Stone, she displayed an arrogant attitude, as if she were bestowing a hundred Superior Spirit Stones upon Song Wen.

The next day.

Song Wen thought that Xing Chang would continue to have him teach Thunder Method, but he did not receive a message from Xing Chang.

He was happy to have some free time.

That night.

Song Wen arrived at the Dark Star Black Market, entered the wooden building in the backyard of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and met the white-haired old man Tian Zhou, as well as a burly man with a beard.

The bearded man exuded a powerful aura, indicating he was a Golden Core cultivator.

Tian Zhou introduced the two to each other.

Ran Xu, a large man named Wei Zhengzhi, is a third-tier weapon refiner.

"Greetings, Senior Wei," Song Wen said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Wei Zhengzhi said, "I heard Tian Zhou mention that you intend to forge a Law Treasure?"

Song Wen said, "That is indeed the case, but the Law Treasure is not what I need. It was my master who ordered me to handle this matter."

Song Wen insisted that he was doing things for someone else in order to convince Tian Zhou and Wei Zhengzhi that he had a Golden Core cultivator behind him.

This was done to make both parties hesitant and prevent them from easily harboring malicious intentions.

After all, the most mysterious and unpredictable enemy is the one lurking in the shadows, and the most fearsome.

Wei Zhengzhi said, "No need for further explanation, just tell me your specific requirements for the Law Treasure."

Song Wen stretched his right hand into the air, and two small trees appeared in his hand.

The sapling was about half a meter long, dark red all over, translucent like jade, with fine fish-scale-like patterns covering its trunk.

These were the two Fire-Scale Wood that Song Wen obtained in the Azure Tide Secret Realm.

Before Song Wen could speak, Wei Zhengzhi exclaimed in surprise.

"Fire Astral Wood!"

This is what the cultivators of the Sea of Disorder call the Fire Qilin Wood.
