Should I call the customer service and ask them what happened? After all, we’re talking about 10 million RMB here!
Just when he was thinking of all kinds of possibilities, he received a notification in the chat. Someone inside the Nine Provinces Number One Group had tagged him.
Since he wasn’t short of credit anymore, the Internet had started to work again.
Song Shuhang opened the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ and shot a quick glance.
Scholar Drunken Moon: ” @Stressed by a Mountain of Books, Little Friend Song Shuhang, is your mobile phone working again? I just gave you a phone recharge. From now on, you won’t have to worry about remaining without the Internet ever again!”
So, was this the work of the seniors in the group?
“Senior, wait. This ‘phone recharge’ you’re talking about… is it a recharge of 10 million RMB?” Song Shuhang quickly replied.
“Hm, that’s it. Did you get it already?” When Scholar Drunken Moon said these words, the aura of a nouveau riche spread all over the place.
“Senior, was there really a need to exaggerate like this? This is simply too much!” Song Shuhang’s current state of mind could be summarized by the first part of his online username. Stressed.
He gave him a phone recharge of 10 million RMB because he didn’t want him to remain without the Internet connection? His phone credit had surpassed the value of the property of an average man’s whole family!
“Too much? No, not at all. It’s not uncommon for the members of the group to call each other while on the other side of the world. Therefore, the annual cost of our phone calls is quite high. And if you add all the other costs related to mobile phones, a recharge of 10 million RMB will be used up in merely 100-200 years. That’s very quick!” Scholar Drunken Moon replied.
Merely 100-200 years? And that was very quick?
Song Shuhang head-butted a nearby tree to calm down a bit. The seniors in the group were planning things in terms of ‘hundreds of years’.
This was something that went beyond his comprehension. After all, he was nothing but an ordinary student until last month. He wasn’t used to how these seniors were thinking!
“It was nothing but pocket change. You don’t need to make a fuss over it.” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman suddenly barged into the conversation and asked, “Oh, right. Little Friend Song Shuhang, did you obtain something good from the Blood God’s Evil Saber Formation?”
From my perspective, it wasn’t pocket change!
Maybe it was nothing but pocket change for you. But try to understand my situation. I was just an ordinary little man not too long ago!
All right, asking the seniors to understand his situation was unrealistic. However, he was trying his best to get used to how they were thinking!
Song Shuhang tried his best to calm down. Then, he replied to Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’s question, “Yes, I have obtained a few things. When I was inside the formation, the quantity of qi and blood inside my Heart Aperture rose quite a bit. I think I’ll need ten or so streams of qi and blood to complete my Hundred Days Foundation Establishment! My body also has gotten stronger. And last but not least, I obtained the Blood God Crystal.”
After pausing a moment, he continued, “Senior, can I exchange this Blood God Crystal for something else more suitable to me? Pills, techniques, magical treasures, or even talismans. Everything is fine.”
The Blood God Crystal in his hand kept making him feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, Young Master Hai had said with great confidence, ‘In due time, I’ll pay a visit and make an offer for it.’
At the appointed time, better let him pay a visit to the seniors in the group. Go and exchange the Blood God Crystal with them!
“Haha, I was waiting for these words! ?” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman attached a grinning emoji and continued, “In a while, once I’m done teaching Chinese characters to the natives of this island, I’ll look for you. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to my treasure house. There, you’ll be able to choose something of equal value to exchange with the Blood God Crystal.”
Other than being a good refining material, the Blood God Crystal could be used to create a special ink that was used to write strokes on high-ranked talismans.
When created, high-ranked talismans needed some strokes to be drawn upon them. And these strokes required a special ink.
For example, those multi-use golden talismans used by Soft Feather were made with ‘Flood Dragon Ink’, a special ink prepared from the blood of a One-Horned Great Flood Dragon.
Therefore, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman was in serious need of this Blood God Crystal.
At this time, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Seven Lives, it seems your dao of talismans is going to have a breakthrough soon.”
“Hehe. Recently, I got a sudden inspiration. And I wanted to strike while the iron was hot by manufacturing some ‘high-ranked talismans’. With that, I’ll be able to break through the bottleneck of the dao of talismans. And while at it, I wanted to break through to the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor realm too. If I delay once again, I’ll be surpassed by the juniors,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman replied with a smile.
If he wanted to, he could have condensed his Golden Core long ago, becoming a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor.
However, he suppressed his power and kept dragging things out till now to condense a superior Golden Core.
The Golden Core Realm had various ranks, and a Golden Core was classified according to the number of ‘dragon patterns’. In total, there were nine ranks. The higher the number of dragon patterns, the higher the rank of the Golden Core. And the more dragon patterns one had, the further would they be able to walk on the road of cultivation.
If someone had a Golden Core with one to three patterns, without any fortuitous encounter, they would remain a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor for the rest of their life.
If someone had a Golden Core with four to six patterns, unless they died of unnatural causes, they would have the possibility to become a Sixth Stage True Monarch, and maybe even a Seventh Stage Spiritual Venerable!
But if you had a Golden Core with seven or more patterns, you might even reach the Eighth Stage Profound Sage and show your divinity to the masses.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman was aiming at a Golden Core with seven patterns.
Moreover, in the whole ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, there wasn’t a single person who had a Golden Core with less than seven patterns. Amongst Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors, they were all exceptional.
“Fine. Then, I’ll wait for Senior to bring good news,” Song Shuhang quickly replied. “If there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave and have a rest. Goodbye everyone.”
“Wait! Little Friend Song Shuhang, wait a moment!” Senior Northern River quickly wrote.
“?” Song Shuhang sent a question mark.
“There is something I need to tell you. ‘True Monarch White’ just sent a message to True Monarch Yellow Mountain. The former will come out of secluded meditation in 20 days! When the time comes, True Monarch Yellow will send you the address of the place where Senior White is closing up. Little friend, at the appointed time, you have to remember to meet True Monarch White!” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator quickly said.
All the seniors in the group were very quiet right now, afraid that Song Shuhang would refuse. If True Monarch Yellow Mountain were to get angry, he would make them drew lots, and that would have tragic consequences.
“Oh… sure, no problem! Just send me True Monarch White’s address, and I’ll go,” Song Shuhang quickly replied. “Then, if you don’t need anything else, I’ll go and take a rest!”
Right now, he only wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep. Today, both his body and mind were very tired.
“Go ahead and rest well. We have great expectations of you,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator replied.
Song Shuhang nodded, then carefully put away his mobile phone. The phone itself was worth only a thousand or so RMB, but the phone credit inside amounted to 10 million RMB!
June 11, Tuesday.
Today, Song Shuhang and Tubo went to pay the car license fee.
Then, they would wait for the instructor to give them a call and start the practice.
Tubo had taken advantage of all the connections he had. They would pay the fee today, and tomorrow, they would go to drive with the instructor. With that, they could take the written test within a week. And if they managed to pass, they would be able to take the driving test in the next 20 days. If their luck was good, they would need only 20 days to get the car license!
The days passed by peacefully, and nothing out of the norm happened. It was time to return to the classes, and as always, Lu Fei was uprightly sitting beside Song Shuhang, taking advance of the cool air he was emitting.
After dinner, inside the dormitory. The three roommates were busy with their things.
Zhuge Zhongyang had dragged away Gao Moumou. It seemed they wanted to meet with the first fiancée candidate in these days.
Yangde was busy with the new program he was developing.
Last but not least, Tubo had been addicted to a game for the past few days.
As a result, Song Shuhang had some free time to cultivate.
He went to Medicine Master’s multi-storied building and started practicing.
First, he used the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯. Afterwards, he used the ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯ to redirect the flow of qi and blood.
Today, he had practiced effortlessly. And even without qi and blood pills, he had been able to use the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ nine times in a row!
When laying down your foundation, the more qi and blood you had in your Heart Aperture, the more you could send back in your body, strengthening it.
And Song Shuhang’s body had already received a power-up from the ‘Blood God’s Evil Saber Formation’.
With the current strength of his body, he could practice the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ 14-15 times in a row without taking any qi and blood pill!
After nine rounds of the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯, Song Shuhang suddenly felt his Heart Aperture becoming hot.
‘I’m overflowing with qi and blood!’ Song Shuhang steeled his heart. He used the ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯ and led that stream of qi and blood toward his Heart Aperture.
That stream of qi and blood was the straw that broke the camel’s back!
The qi and blood in his Heart Aperture smashed open the aperture, sprinkling everywhere!
The aperture was finally open!
With this, his Hundred Days Foundation Establishment was finally complete!
At this moment, he had thoroughly become a cultivator.
Song Shuhang opened both his eyes. His essence, spirit, and qi had started to change.
Nanhuahu City was located 500 kilometers to the south of the Jiangnan area.
And inside Nanhuahu City’s administrative area was a village named Lin Yao.
There was a very famous temple in this village, the Nameless Temple.
The temple was known far and wide. And for this reason, a lot of pilgrims would come here every year. However, the temple didn’t have a name. And as the time passed by, people started to call it ‘Nameless Temple’.
The Nameless Temple wasn’t very big, and the ones that were worshipped here weren’t the respectable Three Pure Ones. It was instead the statue of a beautiful Celestial God.
The statue of this Celestial God was portraying a very handsome man that was peacefully sitting cross-legged on a stone platform; he looked as if alive.
According to the rumors, the statue was discovered several hundreds of years ago. At the time, a great drought had afflicted these lands.
A drought like that was hard to come by even in dozens of years. And in more than half a year, it didn’t rain even a single time. The rivers had dried up, and the crop of the villagers had also been ruined. They were on the verge of death due to thirst and hunger.
They tried to dig everywhere, hoping to find an underground spring. However, they didn’t have any luck. They had dug more than 40 deep wells. But in the end, they couldn’t find anything.
Then, just when they were starting to despair, they suddenly found this lifelike statue deep in the earth. This was the story of the Nameless Temple and Celestial God.
A statue like this wasn’t the work of a human. Only nature itself could create something like this!
At the time, the villagers thought that the statue of the Celestial God had been buried underground by their ancestors in some remote time.
Anyway, being at a dead end, they started to make offerings to the statue of the Celestial God.
And a miracle really happened.
The day after they had started to make offerings to the statue of the Celestial God… a torrential rain came down from the heavens. After the long drought, it finally rained. They were all very happy.
As a consequence, the Nameless Temple and the statue of the Celestial God became famous.
Even now, there are some rumors about the wishes of the villagers coming true. Therefore, the reputation of the statue of the Nameless Celestial God started to get bigger and bigger! Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
At this time, a lot of people inside the temple were secretly discussing between them.
“Am I the only one who thinks that the statue is getting more and more lifelike?”
“You felt it too? I get the feeling that the Nameless Celestial God will soon come to life and ascend to heavens like an immortal!”
“In addition, it feels as if the statue is getting more and more beautiful.”
Be it a woman or a man, they all had this feeling. The statue was getting more and more beautiful, giving off boundless charm.
