Chapter 456: Experiencing the rewarding formation

Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement, ”Senior White, how come you weren't able to entertain yourself enough?”

”Because I wasn't able to enjoy the compet.i.tion to my heart's content! After all, I personally arranged the race track and the traps… hence I couldn't partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion as it wouldn't be fair otherwise. Therefore, I could only follow alongside everyone else to satisfy my craving. But I would have really liked to compare my speed with the other contestants and rumble on the race track at high speed, it would have been so exciting!” Venerable White said regretfully.

Right, Venerable White organized the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion precisely because he liked the idea of competing with hand-guided tractors.

But later, he ended up becoming the referee that would closely follow behind the contestants and was unable to enter the compet.i.tion as a partic.i.p.ant himself. With that, he wasn't able to enjoy himself to his heart's content.

”Ahahaha.” Song Shuhang bitterly smiled.

While he was conversing with Venerable White, he thought several times of asking him about the one-month s.p.a.ce trip and beg him to reduce the duration of the trip to half a month and so on...

But whenever he was on the verge of saying something, he would be unable to speak up.

First, he was a bit shy… second, he was still delusionally thinking that Venerable White might be kidding about the whole one-month trip in s.p.a.ce and that he wasn't truly serious about it...

”Get ready, we're about to enter the final section of the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion,” Venerable White said as he stretched out his hand, pointing toward the sky.

In the sky, the door of the van of the Chu Family automatically opened. Afterward, Venerable White used his spiritual energy to prop up Song Shuhang's body, placing it in the open container attached to the rear of the hand-guided tractor.

As for the van, it flew high up in the sky propped up by the disposable flying sword, flying toward Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman's small island ahead of time.

”The final section? Oh, the place where you arranged the huge runic formation together with Senior Seven Lives Talisman? Senior White, what kind of fearsome formation did you arrange?” Song Shuhang asked somewhat worried.

”Fearsome formation? Why?” Venerable White asked out of curiosity. ”The formation arranged on the final section isn't a trap, it's a reward!”

”Eh? A reward?” Song Shuhang said in surprise.

”Of course! Traps and so on were placed on the race track to make it more exciting. But which compet.i.tion would put traps right at the finish line? That would be quite cruel!” Venerable White replied.

What Venerable White said was reasonable, Song Shuhang was unable to refute it.

Venerable White also added, ”To prepare the last formation, I spent a lot of resources and asked Fellow Daoist Spirit b.u.t.terfly and Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman to help me arrange it. Each fellow daoist that manages to cross the finish line and enters the formation will be 'baptized' by its power. The power of the runes would permanently strengthen their bodies, as well as the true qi and spiritual energy within their bodies. You just advanced to the Second Stage Realm, and if you received the baptism of the formation, you would be able to thoroughly consolidate your realm and obtain several benefits.”

Song Shuhang was now clear about the situation. In short, it was a formation that would permanently increase his stats if he were to pa.s.s through it. The values of his const.i.tution, true qi, or spiritual energy, would increase by 1 point. If his luck was good, perhaps even his strength and agility would increase by 1 point?

Although only the first five could follow Venerable White to explore the ancient ruins… it was improper to make all the other partic.i.p.ants that had come from afar to partic.i.p.ate return home empty-handed. Therefore, Venerable White, Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly, and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman joined their forces and arranged this huge formation as a consolation prize.

At this time, Venerable White also added, ”Right, do you still have those three 'Aging Crystal Roots'?”

The Aging Crystal Roots?

When Venerable White and Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly were arranging the race track earlier, Song Shuhang was struck by lightning. Afterward, Venerable White found ten crystal-like plants beneath the feet of the charred black Song Shuhang.

Since Venerable White decided to share it with the spectators, and adding the fact that he had been struck by lightning too, Song Shuhang managed to obtain three Aging Crystal Roots. If a cultivator of the Second Stage were to eat one of these things, they would receive a boost comparable to practicing for three years.

Song Shuhang was planning to wait until his realm had been consolidated and use Aging Crystal Root while trying to break through the second small realm within the Second Stage, the Dragon Tail Dantian.

”I put them in the 'size-reducing purse' on my body,” Song Shuhang replied.

”Take them out and feed them to your body. If you borrow the body tempering effects of the formation, you can a.s.similate the strength of the Aging Crystal Root as well. The two will complement each other, and the results wouldn't be as simple as an addition, but much better,” Venerable White said.

”I see, I'll go feed them to my body.” Song Shuhang crawled toward the open container behind and looked for the size-reducing purse on his body, taking the Aging Crystal Root out.

”Eh?” After taking out the three Aging Crystal Roots, Song Shuhang was somewhat confused.

He remembered that when Venerable White decided to share the treasure with the onlookers, giving him a share as well, each Aging Crystal Root had the size of an index finger...

But now… the Aging Crystal Root before his eyes had swelled and reached the size of an apple?

Song Shuhang controlled Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body and brought the Aging Crystal Root toward the driver seat, saying, ”Senior White, the Aging Crystal Root underwent a mutation! Its volume increased by a lot!”

Venerable White shot a glance and laughed. ”Don't worry, it's very normal. The volume of the Aging Crystal Root will quickly increase after it leaves the soil. At the maximum size, they can become as big as watermelons.”

Afterward, Senior White left the driver seat and crawled into the open container in the back. He took the three Aging Crystal Roots in his hands and opened the mouth of Song Shuhang's unconscious body.

Song Shuhang, who was currently in Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body, was a bit confused.

Then, he saw Venerable White grab one of the Aging Crystal Roots and stuff it in the mouth of his unconscious body.

The whole apple-sized object was stuffed into Song Shuhang's mouth!
