"As expected, the combined effects of the Eye-Opening Pill + Spirit Green Tea + Energizing Medicinal Liquid are truly great. With all these gadgets, he can stay full of energy 24 hours a day and write without breaks! Just as I predicted, it wasn't impossible to reach the 30,000 characters goal," Yu Jiaojiao said happily with a smile.

"Miss is truly wise." Next to Yu Jiaojiao was a girl wearing the classic dress of a maid. She pampered Jiaojiao and gave her cakes and pastries.

"Since he was so diligent today, give him a midnight snack as well." Yu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Right, put a little bit of body tempering liquid inside the snacks. I want to see if his body can withstand it or not."

Jiaojiao had found with much difficulty an author that wrote books to her liking. Was it possible that she wanted to train him and turn him into a cultivator? With that, he could go on writing books for several hundred years!

Actually, powerful cultivators had done similar matters in the past already.

According to rumors, a powerful cultivator once carried off several authors that wrote good historical and romance novels, taking them in as disciples.

What was told to the poor souls: I just noticed that your talent is first-class and you are very suited for cultivation. You might as well follow me and cultivate in order to become an immortal.

What really happened: After they were carried away, the disciples had to suffer and write novels with all their might.

Oh, right. Still according to rumors, that powerful cultivator was also very rich and capricious. Although none of the 'disciples' had any talent for cultivation, the powerful cultivator used a huge number of natural resources to increase the level of their cultivation and searched for many medicinal pills and natural treasures that could increase their lifespan.

As you might have noticed, it was very important to grasp a good skill that could allow one to make a living back in the days!

Now then, perhaps Yu Jiaojiao also wanted to follow in the footsteps of that powerful cultivator?

"Miss is truly benevolent." The maidservant covered her mouth and laughed. "Right, that Mister mentioned a certain matter today. He wanted to call his girlfriend."

"Tell him that he isn't allowed to call her... because I already prepared a surprise for him and invited his girlfriend over as a guest. His girlfriend is already on her way here!" Yu Jiaojiao said complacently.

"Sure, I'll give him this reply," the maidservant said with a gentle smile.

Yu Jiaojiao started to happily roll about in the bed.

"If I had known earlier that locking an author inside a black room could produce such an incredible increase in the number of chapters, I would have done this matter a long time ago! In addition, there are several other authors and mangakas that I'm following, should I kidnap them as well?" Yu Jiaojiao muttered to herself.

"Oh, right. I can't forget about proper business!" Yu Jiaojiao managed to stop her imagination with great difficulty and sent Song Shuhang a message.

"Shuhang, what kind of plot do you want for the movie? Magical realism? Wuxia? Xianxia? Science fiction?"

Whether the setting of the movie was wuxia, xianxia, sci-fi, or xuanhuan, Yu Jiaojiao was sure that the outcome would be excellent!

After all, special effects were going to be 100% real. Scary, wasn't it?

There was such a huge variety of magical techniques, absolutely plenty to choose from!

Moreover, they could shoot the movie both in the sky and underground, no need for special effects!

Whether the setting was in outer space, at the bottom of the sea, inside a volcano, in the desert... it was all achievable!

In addition, each of the participating actors, male or female, was going to be beautiful and handsome. Each and every one of them could be compared to those internationally famous superstars! Incredible, right?

Beyond that, they could have all kinds of mythological beasts and cute animals make a small appearance in the movie as well.

After Yu Jiaojiao sent the message, Song Shuhang didn't reply.

He was currently inside the Time City, and his mobile phone didn't have any signal.

August 5th, Monday. Dao name: Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman.

Song Shuhang's ghost spirit changed its itinerary.

At first, it was planning to meet Yu Jiaojiao. But now, it changed its plans and decided to go together with the western monk somewhere to ferry the souls of the dead.

Song Shuhang's main body had experienced the life of the 'ascetic monk' and learned the Soul Ferrying Technique.

If Song Shuhang had comprehended the technique, it meant that the ghost spirit had comprehended it too.

Then, the western monk suddenly received a call; there was some work for him. An elderly person had passed away, and the family called the western monk so that he could arrange a ceremony to lead the soul of the dead to the afterworld.

The family had requested the western monk to perform ceremonies for them in the past as well. Although the western monk was a foreigner, they felt that he was still a skilled monk that acted in accordance with justice and morality. After the ceremonies were over, even ordinary people could feel and sense the incredible effects!

Such being the case, they especially called for the western monk to perform the soul ferrying ceremony now that the elder in their house had passed away.

The western monk immediately agreed. After all, ferrying souls was one of his hobbies.

Since it had learned the Soul Ferrying Technique, Song Shuhang's ghost spirit was also very interested in this matter. Therefore, it asked the western monk to head toward the family together and see if there was an opportunity to make use of the Soul Ferrying Technique it had just learned.

Since the ghost spirit had just saved his life, the western monk readily agreed to its request to team up and head toward the family together.

Thereupon, a western monk and a ghost spirit decided to commence their journey to the west to seek and bring the legendary buddhist scripture back— no, wait, they headed toward the bus that would bring them to their destination!

❄️❄️❄️

Time City, inside the Lower City.

Song Shuhang adjusted his state and used the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯ to eat a donkey-type spirit beast crystal. This spirit beast crystal was also from the batch that the stallion spirit had delivered him as compensation and was likewise a spirit beast crystal of the Second Stage.

Before eating the spirit beast crystal, Song Shuhang steeled himself and used the secret appraisal technique to appraise it.

It's a donkey-type spirit beast crystal of the Second Stage rank. It can be eaten through the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯ and can slightly strengthen the constitution, increase the quantity of true qi, and further develop the 'pseudo-innate true qi'. After eating it with the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯, the quickest way to absorb it is to run in circles for 5000 meters while carrying something heavy on the back, just like a donkey turning the millstone.

The price for the appraisal was a small wound, and the pain was also within the range Song Shuhang could withstand. Speaking of which, Song Shuhang felt that there was something wrong with his sense of pain.

His ability to endure pain had skyrocketed. Although the pain of the small wound Song Shuhang received was amplified by ten or so times, it didn't have much of an effect on the current him.

From the looks of it, Song Shuhang wouldn't have to be afraid of any type of pain in the future if he kept using the secret appraisal technique and spurting blood as he did up until now. At that time, having his body pierced by weapons wouldn't be any different than drinking a cup of water!

Just the thought of this Song Shuhang that didn't fear any injury was enough to scare people.

Anyway, let's return to the current scene first.

After eating the donkey-type spirit beast crystal, the pseudo-innate true qi inside Song Shuhang's body became even more complete.

Afterward, Song Shuhang stood up.

Senior Sister Ye smiled and jumped on his back. Earlier, Song Shuhang asked her if there was something heavy around there he could use for his practice. When she heard the question, Senior Sister Ye pointed at herself.

"I'm probably the heaviest thing in here. My ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯ is a cultivation technique with a dual-element affinity, water and earth. I have already practiced the 'Weighty Fall Technique' and 'weight increasing magical technique' to the maximum level. Although I look slim, I can increase my weight up to 10 tons if I use the 'Weighty Fall Technique' and 'weight increasing magical technique' at the same time!" Senior Sister Ye replied.

...It seemed that he simply couldn't allow Senior Sister Ye to use the cowgirl position in bed!

Of course, Song Shuhang didn't need to carry something like 10 tons on his back. A weight of 500 kilograms was more than enough.

Then, after eating the donkey-type spirit beast crystal, he carried Senior Sister Ye on his back and started to run in circles around a pillar in the library room.

"Hehehe~ Shuhang, faster, a little bit faster!" Senior Sister Ye was very happy. It seemed that her mood improved a lot after receiving that electric shock while touching Song Shuhang's fingers earlier. Although it had been quite a while, she had yet to cry.

"Sure. I'll increase my speed then," Song Shuhang said. Immediately after, he used the ❮Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ footwork. Thanks to the extra knowledge he gained the last time when he dashed about madly on his four limbs, his usage of the ❮Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ had become smoother.

"Hehehe~" Senior Sister Ye's delightful laughter reverberated in the whole room.

At this time, Chu Chu quietly returned to the library room. After the experience from last time, she decided not to rashly barge into the room and disturb the life of the couple.

After all, there was a chance that the two of them were doing some rather embarrassing matter right at that time.

Thereupon, Miss Chu Chu quietly approached the library room and moved her head closer to the entrance, peeking inside.

Immediately after, the scene of Song Shuhang carrying Senior Sister Ye on her back and running in circles around a pillar of the room appeared before her eyes.

Senior Sister Ye was laughing sweetly. "Shuhang, faster, faster!"

Song Shuhang said vigorously, "Sure, sit tight!"

Next, he started to run at high speed around the pillar, just like a small tornado.

The scene was so beautiful that Miss Chu Chu couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"Youngsters surely like to have fun nowadays!" Chu Chu silently nodded and quietly retreated... two meters!

Then, she took out her mobile phone and activated the video recording feature, silently recording the scene.

If Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye managed to become husband and wife in the future, they would have to give her a big gift!

After all, she was trying her best to allow the two people to have some time together. It was precisely for that reason that their relationship was advancing at such a high speed.

❄️❄️❄️

Time quickly flew by in the Time City.

The next day.

Song Shuhang used the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯ to eat a camel-type spirit beast crystal. Like the others, it was a spirit beast crystal of the Second Stage rank the stallion spirit provided.

Senior Sister Ye said, "Shuhang, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? In the end, we have only fasting pills."

"No, I don't want to eat anything," Song Shuhang said softly. He had to follow the footsteps of camels today and couldn't touch a single drop of water for the whole day.

"Eh? You consumed a lot of energy during the past few days of practice. Are you sure you don't want to eat anything?" Senior Sister Ye asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, I won't eat anything today," Song Shuhang said resolutely.

The nearby Chu Chu had a pensive look on her face... had the two of them gotten into a fight?

❄️❄️❄️

After another day.

Song Shuhang was holding a deer-type spirit beast crystal in his hands.

He had obtained this spirit beast crystal when he went to the cultivator's street market with Venerable White back then. It was spirit beast crystal of the Fourth Stage.

The rank of this spirit beast crystal was too high; it was equivalent to a spirit stone of the Fourth Stage. If Song Shuhang were to use the ❮Whale Swallowing Technique❯ to eat it forcefully, he would surely end up having too much true qi, which might cause his body to explode.

"It's better not to eat this spirit beast crystal for the time being," Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

Afterward, he shifted his attention to the ghost spirit.

According to the information he received through their shared senses, the ghost spirit was currently with the western monk and getting ready to participate in a soul ferrying ceremony.

Song Shuhang had learned the Soul Ferrying Technique and managed to ferry the soul inside Altar Master's curse. However, the soul inside the curse was only a fragment and not a complete one.

Therefore, Song Shuhang was really curious to see what kind of change would take place on his body if the ghost spirit were to use the Soul Ferrying Technique on a complete soul...
