Chapter 610: Today, I want to write until dawn! Don't try to stop me!

After moving the box to his room, Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and decided to take the immortal clothing out of it, orderly placing it to one side.
Yu Jiaojiao asked, ”Shuhang, have you decided what to do with this immortal clothing?”
Song Shuhang shook his head and said, ”I'll gift part of it to someone and keep the other part, making use of it depending on the circ.u.mstances.”
”In that case, what are you planning to do with this immortal clothing you just took out?” Yu Jiaojiao asked out of curiosity. Was it possible that Shuhang wanted to see which immortal clothing was suitable to which fairy maiden?
Yu Jiaojiao knew that Song Shuhang was acquainted with several young and good-looking female cultivators.
”Hmm... I don't want to give up just yet. I refuse to believe that there is only clothing in this box,” Song Shuhang said firmly.
Yu Jiaojiao teased him, ”Ahaha... after all, it's just a gift. There would be nothing strange if there were only clothes inside the box.”
But just as she finished her sentence, she noticed that Song Shuhang's movements stopped and his eyes lit up.
Is there really something else inside the box? Yu Jiaojiao curiously stretched her neck and glanced at the content of the box.
There was really something else inside!
After Song Shuhang took out enough immortal clothing to empty more than half of the box, Yu Jiaojiao noticed that there was something else as well at the bottom of the box.
It was a thick golden chain; basically the same as the one Song Shuhang was holding in his hands. One needed but a glance to determine that the two items were part of the same set.
Then, there was an item that resembled a box of sweets.
After that, there was a thread-bound book.
Finally, there was also a folded list. Thanks to the protective formation inside the box, all the items were preserved in good condition even though 130 years had pa.s.sed.
The first thing Shuhang did was to pick up the golden chain. In the next moment, the new golden chain and the one already in his possession produced a strong resonance.
This other golden chain inside the box was the reason for the previous resonance. From the looks of it, it was another gift that Elder Bamboo Pipe had sent to their disciple?
Shuhang gently sighed and placed the golden chain down. Then, he picked up that thread-bound book.
This book was unexpectedly written by hand.
After opening it, he discovered that it was written in traditional Chinese characters. Although it was a little difficult to recognize some of the characters, he could read and understand most of the text.
On the first page was a piece of writing similar to the preface found in letters.
It was something that the 'author' of the book had written to Bamboo Pipe.
In the preface, the author of the book thanked Bamboo Pipe for his continuous support up to this point. Then, he said that he had finally finished organizing all the a.n.a.lyses and theories about animal taming the two of them had come up with into a volume.
After thoroughly revising and inspecting the text again, it would be possible to submit this new version of the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ to the sect master and subst.i.tute the older manual of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect with it.
At that time, this new version of the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ would help the disciples of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect increase their animal taming skills by a notch.
After compiling and checking the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯, the 'author' of the book especially transcribed a copy of the revised version of the book, sending it to their mentor and friend, Bamboo Pipe.
They were hoping that Bamboo Pipe could find the time to revise this copy of the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ one more time to see if there were parts that could be improved or corrected. At the same time, it would act as a keepsake.
Obviously, the 'author' of the book was also a disciple of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect. Moreover, it was one of those rare and valuable scientist-type cultivators. From the looks of it, the 'author' of the book didn't usually stay inside the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect, but was outside, continuing with their research.
As for the immortal clothing and other treasures inside the box, it should be something that Elder Bamboo Pipe had entrusted him to buy in his stead and deliver to his place.
But due to an unforeseen event, this handwritten copy of the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ ultimately couldn't reach Elder Bamboo Pipe. The reason was that the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect was destroyed in the meantime.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯.
After opening the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯, he was fated to be related to the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect. No, that wasn't completely correct. He was already deeply related to this sect that had disappeared 130 years ago since the day he had started practicing the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.
However, the previous relations.h.i.+p could be considered as a 'pa.s.sive' one. But this time, it was Shuhang personally making contact with the opposite party.
Shuhang opened the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯. Inside the book were described the taming methods for hundreds of spirit beasts, spirit birds, spirit insects, and spirit fish.
The first 33 spirit beasts described were precisely the 33 spirit beasts needed for the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.
The Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect originated from the 88th department of the ancient Heavenly City, the Divine Beast Department. Even the symbol of their sect, the golden chain, was something that expressed the status of the 'Master Spirit Beast Tamers' that the ancient Heavenly City had officially recognized.
Song Shuhang quickly reached the end of the book and firmly recorded in his mind its contents.
After closing the handwritten book, he thought to himself, I wonder if I have the talent to tame animals... if I don't have it, I'll need to find a way to pa.s.s down the content of the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ after I'm done with my practice some day in the future.
Since he had obtained some advantages from the opposite party, he would try his best to settle the karma between them. With that, he could keep his conscience clean and obtain better results on his future path of cultivation.
Song Shuhang felt that the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯ alone had already made up for that spirit stone of the Fourth Stage he had spent to collect the package.
Now then, I wonder if the author of this ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯, who also happens to be the person that mailed the sealed package, managed to survive the destruction of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect...
After placing the handwritten book in his size-reducing purse, Song Shuhang took out that item that resembled a small box of sweets and opened it.
Inside the box were gems of different shapes emitting a gentle radiance.
There were 33 of them in total.
”Spirit beast crystals...” Song Shuhang needed but a glance to determine that the gems were actually spirit beast crystal. In addition, he had already eaten several of the types present here.
All the spirit beast crystals inside the box were of the Second Stage rank, and they just happened to be the spirit beast crystals needed for the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.
Was this another gift that Elder Bamboo Pipe had prepared for their disciple?
However, the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect was a powerhouse in the field of taming spirit beasts, and the number of spirit beast crystals they had in stock had to be shocking. Was there really a need for Elder Bamboo Pipe to buy spirit beast crystals for their disciple from the outside?
Or perhaps... it was something that the sender had decided to personally gift to Elder Bamboo Pipe's disciple?
In the end, Song Shuhang picked up that folded list.
On the list was the detailed information about the 'immortal clothing'. There were four sizes in total with ten clothes of each size.
On the back side of the list of immortal clothing were some words written by hand: 'A box of 33 spirit beast crystals'. The handwriting was the same as the person's that had written the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯.
In addition, there was also a small paragraph below: 'Congratulations to my fellow disciple for breaking through the Second Stage Realm. I don't have anything good to gift you here with me. Therefore, I had no choice but to give you a box of carefully selected spirit beast crystals that can help you with your practice of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.'
So that's how it was...
Song Shuhang took in his hand that box with spirit beast crystals inside again. For the current Song Shuhang, this box of spirit beast crystals was even more useful than the ❮Encyclopedia of Animal Taming❯.
