August 25th, 7 PM.

Song Shuhang was currently sitting in the train heading back to Wenzhou City. He would get home in around nine hours—it would be already early morning by then.

Song Shuhang was making this trip back to Wenzhou City all alone.

Su Clan’s Sixteen had to transcend her tribulation soon, and she couldn’t accompany Song Shuhang back to Wenzhou City.

Venerable White had gone to the Secret Realm of Slowness to fish out Thrice Reckless Mad Saber and Liu Jianyi, and had told Song Shuhang to wait for him directly in Wenzhou City.

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator headed to the forbidden city (Beijing) to check out the place since the day he would fight Immortal Master Copper Trigram was quickly approaching. While at it, he would close up and stabilize his realm. He had made thorough preparations for this battle that would take place on the summit of the forbidden city; he wanted to make that shady fortune teller kneel on the ground while weeping bitterly.

As for the other seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they all had their things to do. Although they looked rather free since they would frequently flood the group chat… the seniors were actually very busy! Whenever they wrote in the group chat, it was because they were taking a break!

Actually, Medicine Master was originally planning to take out some time and teach Song Shuhang how to refine some pills with interesting effects.

It was something he had agreed to teach Song Shuhang the first time they had met.

Several years ago, Medicine Master built a money-making channel in the mortal world. His objective weren’t the wealth and riches of the mortal world… what he wanted from the opposite party were over twenty different types of special deep-sea medicinal materials that could be used to refine pills.

However, Medicine Master had stopped using this channel nowadays.

The reason was that Medicine Master had already accumulated a very large quantity of those deep sea medicinal materials, and the amount of RMB he gained was also very high—not even he knew how much it was.

Thereupon, Medicine Master was planning to leave this ‘channel’ to Song Shuhang. He wanted to teach him how to refine those pills after the completion of his ‘Hundred Days Foundation Establishment’, allowing him to obtain both money and medicinal materials through this channel he had built.

According to their agreement, Song Shuhang would keep 60% of the money he would obtain from the opposite party, while Medicine Master would get a 40% cut.

Back then, Song Shuhang had just stepped in the world of cultivators, and he probably had some need for the wealth and riches of the mortal world.

However, even if you were to beat him to death, Medicine Master would have never believed that Song Shuhang’s cultivation realm would progress by leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time. In just a few months, he had reached the Third Stage Second Meridian ‘Overcast Moon Meridian’ Realm!

But since Medicine Master and Miss Riverly Purple Mist had just gotten married, they went on their honeymoon.

Still, Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist were hardly ever apart even before the wedding… was there really a need for this honeymoon?

Medicine Master had decided that he would head to the Jiangnan area at the end of his honeymoon with Riverly Purple Mist and then find some time to teach Song Shuhang how to refine those special pills and pass onto him that ‘money-making channel’.

Additionally, True Monarch Yellow Mountain had also said that he might make a trip to Wenzhou City in the near future and meet with Song Shuhang there.

Curious, Song Shuhang asked True Monarch Yellow Mountain what business he had in Wenzhou City, but True Monarch Yellow Mountain wore a mysterious smile on his face and didn’t reply.

At this time, on Wenzhou City’s Baijing Street, inside Song Shuhang’s house.

Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist, who had changed his name to ‘Li Yun’, had come to over to visit Shuhang’s family. Since he’d become Song Shuhang’s neighbor around two months ago, he often came over to visit his family.

Now, Papa Song and Mama Song had a very good relationship with Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist, to the point that they would tell each other everything!

Today, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist finally obtained a piece of good news from Mama Song.

Song Shuhang, who had passed the whole summer vacation away from home, was finally coming back!

Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist felt that his eye sockets had become somewhat wet. After a month and a half, Song Shuhang was finally about to return.

He really couldn’t contain his excitement anymore.

About half a month ago, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist got in touch with the Penniless Thief Sect again and found the time to go back there to grab some resources for his training.

Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist had made up his mind and decided to wait only until the end of this month. If Song Shuhang still didn’t come back by then, he would discard the idea of ‘freeloading’ his enlightenment stone and return to the Penniless Thief Sect to continue his training there.

Luckily, Song Shuhang was coming back just in time.

After coming back, that kid had better thank me properly! Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist thought to himself.

Within this month and a half he spent as Song Shuhang’s neighbor, he secretly saved Song Shuhang’s family from a few calamities.

For example, a metallic spider-shaped puppet had once sneaked into Song Shuhang’s home, quietly hiding there. Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist had removed the legs of the metallic spider to prevent it from doing any harm.

As such, at the appointed time, little friend Song Shuhang shouldn’t be against his freeloading his enlightenment stone.

Afterward, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist took his mobile phone, and published a message in his WeChat Moments.

Title: [For one month and a half, I persevered and constantly visited the house of this little friend in order to get some benefits. However, this little friend was never at home, which made me want to cry. But today, this little friend is finally coming back home! I’m very happy.]

Attachment: [Two selfies of happy Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist.]

Location: Wenzhou City’s Baijing Street.

After the message was sent, hundreds of likes instantly appeared.

Then, countless friends started to leave messages on the post.

1) Daoist Priest, you are about to meet that mysterious little friend? What is his background? Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing Daoist Priest obtain these benefits and become a pro!

2) Congratulations, Daoist Priest. Your wish finally came to true!

30) Daoist Priest, your mood seems really good today. In that case, how about teaching us again a few tricks to stay in good health? Those nutrition tricks you told us about the last time were too incredible! I followed the prescription, and in just a few months, I feel full of energy and more manly.

60) Congratulations, Daoist Priest. Now, you no longer need to cry and be sad. You can bravely stand up and raise your head.

In a mere instant, the number of replies had reached up to a hundred.

Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist put his mobile phone away, very satisfied, and delightfully sipped his tea.

Since breaking out of the seal, he had left alone that instant messaging program he’d been using during his confinement.

Although Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist was really popular while using that instant messaging program, with more than 300 people commenting his posts and giving him thousands of likes, he had later noticed that there was something wrong with it and that it was very likely part of True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s scheme.

Therefore, after breaking out of the seal and becoming Song Shuhang’s neighbor, he changed his phone and downloaded the most popular instant messaging program on the market.

When he had just switched the messaging program, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist’s popularity was pretty low. He would receive very few likes after each post, and didn’t have many friends on his list.

However, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist really went all out in this month and a half and published a few nutrition tricks, as well some marvelous stories like ‘The Adventures of Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist’…

As a result, he became very popular once more.

Now, even if he published some very ordinary message, there would be immediately hundreds of comments and likes appearing.

It was something that made Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist really happy.

He really enjoyed this feeling.

After learning that Song Shuhang was coming back, aside from the 21st-century good neighbor Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist being really happy, the other neighbor Song Shuhang had was also really happy.

Song Shuhang’s other neighbor was a foreigner… Mister Joseph.

After becoming Song Shuhang’s neighbor, Joseph had also often visited his family. In addition, Joseph thought that Teacher Song Shuhang’s ‘cultivation technique’ was passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, he firmly believed that one between Papa Song or Mama Song was a peerless expert.

Joseph had secretly tried to inquire about this matter in the past. Unfortunately, neither Papa Song nor Mama Song replied to him.

But after visiting Song Shuhang’s house a few times, Joseph was even more convinced that Song Shuhang’s family was a family of martial artists.

Every time he visited Song Shuhang’s place and drank their tea, he would feel clear-minded and invigorated, and his brain would be in a state of constant enlightenment! Moreover, each time he finished drinking his cup of tea, he felt as if his body had been thoroughly cleansed!

In addition, after the relationship between Joseph and Papa Song had gotten better, Papa Song had asked him to stay over and eat with them.

The vegetables on the table didn’t really seem that special, but the rice… when it was served, he discovered that each grain of rice was bright, limpid, and giving off an enchanting aroma.

After eating the rice, Joseph felt his body brimming with energy! It was even more exaggerated than eating some several hundred years old ginseng!

After eating a meal at Song Shuhang’s place and returning home, Joseph wouldn’t be able to hold back and had no choice but to practice the peerless martial technique that his teacher Song Shuhang had passed onto him.

After completing the ❮Times are Calling❯ exercise twenty times, Joseph would feel that his constitution was much more powerful than before!

That rice was absolutely not ordinary! Perhaps it was a type of medicated food that Chinese martial artist families used in order to practice martial arts!

Therefore, after eating that food, one would feel just as if they had taken a bite of a piece of ginseng. Its restorative abilities were incredible!

After Joseph freeloaded a few meals in Song Shuhang’s house… Papa Song discovered that the way Joseph was looking at him was somewhat strange. From the look in his eyes, it felt as if the other party was looking at some big ‘VIP’, and it made Papa Song very uncomfortable.

Song Shuhang sat in the train and gazed at the continuously changing scenery outside the window.

At this time, Song Shuhang had completely absorbed the medicinal strength of the ‘demodragon medicine’, and his body had already returned to normal. The current strength of his constitution had reached the peak of the Third Stage.

“So slow!” Song Shuhang muttered to himself. This train was simply too slow compared to a flying sword!

Ah~ when would he be able to reach the Fourth Stage Realm?

At that time, he would be able to finally ride a flying sword… no, a flying saber, in his case.

Song Shuhang touched his wrist-guard on his arm.

Within the wrist-guard was concealed a bracelet—the spatial equipment that he’d borrowed from Venerable White earlier. The space inside the bracelet had an area of 100 square meters and a height of 10 meters. At this time, the whole space was filled with spirit stones of the Eighth and Ninth Stage rank.

In addition, Venerable White had engraved a formation on the bracelet to conceal its aura, making it appear as an ordinary item without any spiritual qi. Like this, Song Shuhang should be more or less safe from evil cultivators that might try to rob him after discovering his wealth.

If they didn’t find any cure to Li Yinzhu’s cold disease in the ‘forbidden area’, Shuhang could only hope to get something from the ‘Almighty Merchant’…
