Chapter 666 (2/2)

“It’s like this… Senior White, can you lend me some spirit stones?” Song Shuhang asked. Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue could bring him to see that mysterious ‘Almighty Merchant’ at any time.

At this time, he had with him only the spirit stones he’d obtained after selling the blood pearls to Daoist Priest Horizon. Although such a number of spirit stones was more than enough for his personal use, it was nowhere near enough if he was planning to buy something from the mysterious ‘Almighty Merchant’.

In addition, there was a chance he could obtain a treasure capable of curing Li Yinzhu’s disease from that mysterious ‘Almighty Merchant’.

According to the memories of Daoist Priest Li Tiansu, there was a possibility to find Li Yinzhu’s cure inside that ‘forbidden area’. However, even Daoist Priest Li Tiansu hadn’t managed to explore the ‘forbidden area’ in its entirety. Therefore, it was unknown whether they would really find the cure there.

Such being the case, Song Shuhang couldn’t pin all his hopes on the forbidden area. It was better to have a backup plan.

“You are short of spirit stones?” Venerable White faintly smiled and said, “How many do you need?”

Song Shuhang replied, “The more, the better! Otherwise, I feel that I might regret it for the rest of my life!”

“The more, the better? I see,” Venerable White said with a smile. “In that case, I’ll bring you to another one of my immortal caves after shooting of the movie. All my spirit stones are stored inside that immortal cave.”

“Thank you, Senior White,” Song Shuhang said.

Venerable White replied, “You are welcome.”

“Do you want to collect some interest?” Song Shuhang asked. Being blunt and straightforward was one of his strong points.

Venerable White laughed and said, “Alright, I might collect some interest when the time comes.”

The immortal boats slowly descended, and Jacob’s Production Team got into action.

With the help of Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly’s subordinate, Director Jacob instructed the shooting staff and had them take pictures of the ‘paradise’ below from all angles.

These pictures taken from above would be used as a background for the credits after the shooting of the movie.

After all the immortal boats descended, the members of the movie crew moved their equipment out.

Under Venerable White’s guide, all those present finally arrived in front of the martial arts stage where the first act of the movie would be shot—the scene of Senior Brother Gao Sheng beating up the main character Ling Ye.

Jacob’s Production Team started to quickly arrange the stage props, lighting, video cameras, and scene.

❄️❄️❄️

In the afternoon, 4 PM.

Everything was ready.

The audio and video recording had been turned on.

The actors had taken their places.

Song Shuhang and Venerable White were both wearing the regulation clothes of the ‘Immaterial Cloud Sect’ that True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple had provided.

Venerable White was playing the role of the main character, Ling Ye.

Song Shuhang was playing the role of a supporting character, Gao Sheng.

True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple was playing the role of the elder of the Immaterial Cloud Sect, the Eight-Armed Sword Sage.

Riverly Purple Mist was playing the role of Senior Sister Murong Hua.

In addition, there were several people on the edge of the stage that were playing the roles of the ordinary disciples of the Immaterial Cloud Sect. The various subordinates that Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly had sent over were in charge of playing these unimportant roles.

They were surely laborious and worth of respect. After all, they were in charge of taking care of minor matters, and most of the small and insignificant roles were played by them.

The script supervisor clapped the clapperboard.

Director Jacob shouted, “Action!”

❄️❄️❄️

Venerable White calmly arrived on the martial arts stage. While walking, he had already put himself in the shoes of the character he was playing.

At this time, Venerable White had a firm and fearless expression on his face.

The light blue daoist robe covering his body fitted him well, and his long black hair was hanging behind the back. Venerable White had already turned into ‘Ling Ye’ at this time.

True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple stood on the edge of the martial arts stage with his arms crossed and an indifferent expression on his face. Just by standing there and doing nothing, he gave the onlookers the impression of being an ‘impartial’ ent.i.ty. True Monarch had also turned into the character he was playing at this time.

After all, we were talking about seasoned seniors that had experienced a lot of things in their life!

Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and thought to himself, Time to go!

In the worst case, my acting skills won’t be up to par, and the western monk will take my place!

After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang calmed down a bit.

Before getting in front of the camera, he took a deep breath to muster his strength.

Afterward, he put a grin on his face and headed toward the martial arts stage in large strides, finally entering the range of the camera.

Closely following behind him were two subordinates of Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly that were currently playing the roles of Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s two lackeys.

“Ahahaha! Ling Ye, you finally stopped hiding and decided to accept my challenge, huh?” Song Shuhang coldly smiled at Venerable White on the fighting stage.

Venerable White had fully immersed himself in Ling Ye’s character and calmly looked at Song Shuhang.

“Senior Brother, today we must give Ling Ye a good lesson and let him know how terrifying you can be,” Junior Brother No. 1 said.

“Indeed. He won’t dare to go against Senior Brother’s wishes ever again from today onwards!” Junior Brother No. 2 added.

“Hmph.” Song Shuhang, who was playing Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s role, snorted and continued, “Ling Ye, this time, I’ll beat you so badly that you won’t be able to get out of bed for a whole month.”

After saying the lines, Song Shuhang felt a feeling of weakness surge up in his heart.

Although he knew that it was just an act and that Venerable White was merely playing Ling Ye’s role, saying something like ‘I’ll beat you so badly that you won’t be able to get out of bed for a whole month’ to Senior White still scared him.

After saying these lines, Senior Brother Gao Sheng was supposed to make a beautiful 360-degree flip and get on the martial arts stage.

Thereupon, Song Shuhang followed the instructions of the script and jumped high up, performing a beautiful flip while midair.

The flip was very attractive.

Perhaps because his legs had gotten a little soft due to that feeling of weakness that rushed up to his heart earlier… or due to some unknown reasons that defied the principles of science and cultivation…

Halfway through the flip, just as he was about to land on the stage, Song Shuhang suddenly lost his balance and ruthlessly crashed to one side of the platform.

“Bang~”

It looked rather painful.

The nearby Venerable White was speechless.

“…” Song Shuhang.

True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, who had his arms crossed, was also speechless.

“Cut!” Director Jacob shouted.
