Of course, Song Shuhang was only joking when he thought of peeing in the middle of the formation as lions did to leave his smell behind. If he were to do it for real, Scholar Xian Gong might tie him up and throw him within the trap he prepared, using him as a living bait to attract the demodragon.

Anyway, it was pretty simple for cultivators to leave their ‘smell’ behind. Both ‘true qi’ and ‘spiritual energy’ carried what one could consider the characteristic ‘smell’ of a cultivator.

Song Shuhang only had to follow Scholar Xian Gong’s instructions and inject his true qi inside a transparent crystal—which was the core of the formation—if he wanted to leave his ‘smell’ behind.

This transparent crystal was, in fact, a spirit stone with almost no spiritual energy inside. After pa.s.sing through a few modifications, it was turned into a special type of crystal that allowed others to inject their true qi or spiritual energy inside.

All of this originated from a senior cultivator that wanted to find a method to turn spirit stones into ‘rechargeable batteries’. Unfortunately, his research failed, and what he obtained was a half-finished product. After true qi or spiritual energy was injected inside this half-finished product, it was impossible to extract it and make use of it.

The method to obtain this half-finished product spread and cultivators researched ingenious ways to exploit it. For example, this half-finished product was the core of the token of authority that the disciples of some sects used. It was useful to record the status of the various disciples.

Returning to the topic, Scholar Xian Gong had arranged nearly twenty trapping formations while Song Shuhang and the others were eating. Yu Jiaojiao’s villa and a large stretch of the surrounding area were now full of well-concealed formations.

Song Shuhang followed Scholar Xian Gong around and left his ‘smell’ in the various formations.

“It’s better to stop here for today,” Scholar Xian Gong said as he nodded his head, very satisfied. “Tomorrow, I’ll arrange even more formations. The best course of action would be to connect these small stand-alone formations and form a big one.”

Song Shuhang said, “No problem, Senior. If you need my help with something, you just have to call me.”

“Right. Little friend Shuhang, has Fellow Daoist White come back?” Senior Xian Gong asked. He’d sensed Venerable White’s aura when he was arranging the formations earlier.

“Yes. He arrived when I called you for the meal earlier,” Song Shuhang replied.

At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Senior Xian Gong, is it possible that you didn’t eat with us because you discovered that Venerable White was here? If that’s the case, you don’t need to worry anymore. Senior White can freely control his weird charm now, and the people next to him aren’t influenced by it.”

“Cough, it’s not due to Fellow Daoist White. My mental power is stronger than what you think, little friend. The reason I didn’t come over was that I was fully absorbed in arranging formations and didn’t have the time.”

Due to his face being red already, one was simply unable to figure out whether or not he was blus.h.i.+ng due to the shame or if he was really telling the truth.

Senior Xian Gong continued, “Actually, I was wondering if Fellow Daoist White would also give us a hand at the appointed time.”

“If the demodragon were to appear and attack us, Venerable White would surely intervene,” Song Shuhang said.

Scholar Xian Gong said, “In that case, I’ll have to think about Fellow Daoist White’s share as well.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Venerable White will also receive a share for helping us?”

“Yes. After all, it’s all for the sake of the demodragon we two need. Therefore, we have to compensate all the fellow daoists that give us a hand. In addition, our luck might get better after gifting something to Fellow Daoist White,” Scholar Xian Gong explained.

Although Song Shuhang didn’t fully understand the situation, he felt that it was a rather cool thing to do.

“But what kind of gift can we give to Fellow Daoist White if he decides to help us?” Scholar Xian Gong was in deep thoughts. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, “I just thought of something good!”

“Something good?”

“As you are aware, I’ve been researching demodragons lately. Aside from the demodragon medicine, one can obtain other things from their corpses too; after all, their whole body is a treasure. Apart from their skin and muscles, even their tailbone can be forged and turned into a magical treasure called ‘Dragon Tail Mirage’. This magical treasure has the capacity to increase the speed of the flying sword by a little, allowing the user to break through their maximum speed limit. Someone like Fellow Daoist White that loves racing with flying swords will surely like it,” Scholar Xian Gong replied.

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Xian Gong, will you be the one to forge this magical treasure?” If it was a magical treasure related to speed, Venerable White was surely going to like it!

“It’s not that difficult to manufacture this ‘Dragon Tail Mirage’. After we catch the demodragon, I’ll personally manufacture one for Fellow Daoist White. My ability to forge treasures and arrange formations can be ranked amongst the first five in the entire Nine Provinces Number One Group,” Scholar Xian Gong said with a smile.

Song Shuhang completely believed his words. After all, Scholar Xian Gong was someone that had managed to survive a point-blank nuclear explosion by relying on layer upon layer of formations.

When he first discovered about this matter in the group, he thought that Scholar Xian Gong was truly an explosively awesome man!

Song Shuhang said, “Gifting something like the ‘Dragon Tail Mirage’ to Senior White after we take down the demodragon seems really fitting.”

“I’ll forge it, and little friend will hand it over to Fellow Daoist White. Let’s proceed this way,” Senior Xian Gong said.

Song Shuhang replied, “No problem, leave it to me.”

The duo gazed at the various trapping formations. Then, they imagined the scene of the demodragon descending from the sky to kill Song Shuhang. But right at that time, Scholar Xian Gong and his friends would launch their own attack and activate all the trapping formations, pinning the demodragon to the ground and killing it together. This place would become its burial ground!

At that time, whoever wanted the skin could take the skin; whoever wanted the blood could take the blood. They would equally divide the body of the demodragon amongst themselves.

What a beautiful scene!

“The demodragon medicine!” Scholar Xian Gong said.

Song Shuhang clenched his fists and also said, “The demodragon medicine!”

The duo looked at each other and smiled.

Senior Xian Gong continued inspecting the arranged formations, while Song Shuhang took his leave and returned to the villa.
