Chapter 1342 - Lacking manpower? Lacking materials? That isn“t a problem (2/2)
“It’s fine as long as nothing happened.” Song Shuhang nodded, and then asked, “Yinzhu, how’s your cold disease? Is it better now? If you still feel any discomfort, I will bring you to the Great Northern Emperor so that he can have a look.”
“It’s much better.” Li Yinzhu’s voice was soft.
She was currently using the auxiliary technique left to her by the Great Northern Emperor, and every one of her breaths could bring out the cold in her body and relieve the condition of the cold disease.
Chu Chu smiled, and said, “But there’s one problem.”
“What’s wrong?” Song Shuhang said nervously. “I will contact the Great Northern Emperor immediately.”
Li Yinzhu softly said, “It’s not a big problem.”
She got out of Song Shuhang’s arms and took a step back.
Then, she reached out to pinch her nose and held her breath.
When she held her breath, a chill took over her body, and some fine ice flowers formed on her long silver hair.
However, this cold qi didn’t have the aura of the ‘cold disease’; instead, it was ‘spiritual energy’ actively gathering towards her and turning into ice.
As the frost condensed, Li Yinzhu’s body began shrinking. After a few breaths of time, she had returned to her three-year-old appearance. She was wearing the standard magic skirt of the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’. As such, together with the shrinking of her body, the skirt also shrank to a suitable size.
“Phew~” Li Yinzhu stopped pinching his nose, and let out a long breath of cold air.
Afterward, she tiptoed with her left foot and spun around. “How is it?”
“You became smaller again?” Song Shuhang’s eyes widened.
“Mm-hm. This is the minor problem that I was talking about,” Chu Chu said. “As long as Yinzhu holds her breath and gathers the cold, her body shrinks. Not only that, as long as she is in a colder place, her body will also shrink. The reason why we switched rooms was because the original room was filled with ice, and so her body couldn’t grow up.”
“Hehehe.” Li Yinzhu giggled.
Song Shuhang pinched his chin for a moment, and asked, “Does the shrinking and growing of her body hurt her?”
Li Yinzhu shook her head, and said, “No. Also, after a while, after my body warms up, I’ll naturally grow to my previous appearance.”
Song Shuhang responded, “That’s good.”
The small Li Yinzhu raised her hand, and said, “Also, A’Song, I’m going to ascend to the Fifth Stage soon!”
“A’Song?” Song Shuhang pointed to himself.
Little Yinzhu seriously said, “It’s because I can’t call you dad.”
Song Shuhang nodded, and then asked in surprise, “Your nine immortal bones have already all condensed?”
Li Yinzhu raised her hands up high, and replied, “I had long condensed seven immortal bones. Then, after taking the medicine made by Senior Turtle and practicing the auxiliary technique, I was able to condense two more.”
Song Shuhang hurriedly asked, “Then, when are you planning on transcending the heavenly tribulation?”
After the nine immortal bones were condensed, the next step was to transform the ‘illusory core’ into a golden core.
The small Yinzhu raised her head, and proudly said, “I’m planning on waiting for a bit longer. I want to have a golden core with seven dragon patterns!”
Song Shuhang said, “Then, I will contact Demon Monarch Nirvana right away… He still owes me a tribulation-transcending formation. I will ask him to tailor the most suitable formation for you to help you overcome your heavenly tribulation.”
He almost forgot about Demon Monarch Nirvana. There was a good chance that he was still in the Jiangnan Area, and luckily, Song Shuhang still had his contact information.
“Okay.” Li Yinzhu tilted her head, and thought for a while before saying, “A’Song, what about you? When are you going to transcend your heavenly tribulation?”
“Under normal circ.u.mstances, it should take me a while. At this time, I’ve merely begun to condense my fourth immortal bone.” Song Shuhang rubbed his brows.
However, the problem was that his situation did not fall under normal circ.u.mstances.
“You’ve already begun to condense your fourth immortal bone? When we met last time, Tranni… Tyrannical Song, didn’t you say that you had just ascended to the Fourth Stage?” At the side, Chu Chu, who was a small genius at the Second Stage, burst into tears.
“Just call me by my name, or just call me using my daoist name. It really isn’t alright for Tyrannical Song to be read like that.” Song Shuhang smiled bitterly. “Next time, when I become a Profound Sage, I will definitely choose a Sage name that I’m satisfied with. At the very least, I’d want it switched around so that if people stuttered, it’d be Song Song Tyrannical.”
Li Yinzhu raised her small hand. “I have a feeling that it won’t end up as Song Song Tyrannical… I feel like there’s a greater chance it would become Song Tranni… Tyrannical.”
He could just imagine as himself showing his divinity while all the cultivators in the universe shouted ‘Song Tranni… Tyrannical.’
Can’t we just go with something that won’t end up making my heart feel stifled?
Song Shuhang vowed, “Next time, I will definitely change my Sage name to something that will satisfy me.”
❄️❄️❄️
After that, Song Shuhang sat in the rocking chair and began to talk to Chu Chu and Li Yinzhu about how the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was moved to the Beast Realm.
Little Yinzhu sat in his arms, while Chu Chu sat beside him.
Song Shuhang said, “Now, the ‘Time City’ has already been transferred to my Inner World. You can hang out in the Inner World when you’re bored. After some time, when my main body gets out of the small black room, we can go back to the main world.”
Chu Chu seriously asked, “Mister Song, are you still accepting disciples right now?”
“Have you thought things through?” Song Shuhang said calmly. “I already told you before that the time I’ve spent cultivating has been very short. As such, I’m not that good at guiding my disciples in their cultivation. Also… As long as you want, I could recommend you to various big sects that will directly take you in as a beginner disciple. Your talent is very good, and I can guarantee your character to them.”
“I have thought about it seriously, I can switch to the saber path.” Chu Chu’s eyes shone brightly.
She had obviously thought about it seriously.
It was no longer suitable for her to join other sects. Even if Song Shuhang introduced her and she directly became a disciple… She was already too old, and if she practiced in such sects, she probably wouldn’t even make it to the Golden Core Realm.
Therefore, by contrast, if Song Shuhang was willing to accept her as a disciple, she was willing to switch to the saber path.
“Don’t~ It isn’t easy to have a talent in swordsmans.h.i.+p. It would be too wasteful for you to switch to saber techniques.” Song Shuhang gritted his teeth. The heavens had made it so that he had no talent for the sword whatsoever; he wouldn’t be able to bear watching Chu Chu waste her great talent in swordsmans.h.i.+p.
Song Shuhang said, “When it comes to sword techniques, I will have a way to guide you when the time comes. In terms of cultivation techniques… I only know the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯, but I now have the complete set on me. You can choose one of the suitable chapters to cultivate if you want. Are you willing to learn this technique?”
He was worried that the cultivation technique might have traumatized Chu Chu.
Chu Chu nodded, and said, “I am willing.”
“Since you’ve already decided, then you can practice with me for a while. After some time, if you still feel the same way, then I will officially accept you as a disciple and give you a daoist name,” Song Shuhang said. “It just so happens that you have a… senior sister? Mm-hm, she is indeed your senior sister. She is a monster bird and is also in my Inner World. You can talk to her when you have the time.”
Chu Chu nodded, and said, “Yes, Teacher.”
[Oh~ Congratulations to Sage Monarch Tyrannical Song, you’ve accepted another disciple.] Senior White Two’s voice rang in Song Shuhang’s ears.
[It isn’t certain yet, I’m just going to let Chu Chu practice with me for a while. To be honest, I have no confidence in guiding her,] Song Shuhang smiled bitterly as he replied.
Senior White Two asked, [Just come to me if you don’t understand something. I’m very experienced in teaching students. Anyway, how is your Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure doing?]
Song Shuhang replied, [We forged two pieces. However, I still lack some materials, and the same goes for manpower. I’m honestly quite troubled by this.]
Senior White Two said, [Lacking manpower and materials? That isn’t a problem. Remember that the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect promised to give you a share of their loot and provide you with manpower.]
