Song Shuhang gave his coordinates to Young Master Phoenix Slayer and ended the call with satisfaction. “Great.”

In the world of monster cats, there was nothing that could not be solved with some fish. If there was… it was definitely just that the quant.i.ty or quality of the fish was not enough.

The green sea turtle asked, “What’s with ‘borrowing CPU’?”

For thousands of years, it had been sleeping by the side of the Great Northern Emperor’s resurrection formation, so it had little knowledge of the rapidly changing outside world. Although it had binged on a lot of knowledge after waking up, the knowledge that it had just acquired had yet to be digested.

Song Shuhang replied, “It’s Senior Phoenix Slayer’s innate talent. When he uses this secret technique, he can let me borrow his mind, which is the CPU, and understand some cultivation techniques and secret techniques with it. There was a time when I’d learned several cultivation techniques and saber techniques, and after borrowing Senior Phoenix Slayer’s innate talent, I was able to reach the master level in all them. Furthermore, Senior Phoenix Slayer is a monster. If I borrowed his CPU for practice, perhaps I could figure out the ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯’s hidden secrets!”

…In addition, he had no idea if his state of borrowing of Little Cai’s body was just accidental or a secret technique. If it was a secret technique, he could borrow Little Cai’s body to practice the ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯, and from there study the skills. However, firstly, Little Cai was still in her inner demon tribulation and had yet to wake up; secondly, Little Cai was too weak, so she was unable to compare to Senior Phoenix Slayer’s CPU.

The green sea turtle said, “Heavens, there’s such a convenient ability? Is this Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer some kind of living cheat?”

Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “I thought so as well, heroes really do think the same way.”

“Hehehe.” The sea turtle suddenly laughed. “I’m not a hero, I’m just a turtle. So, if you really want to say that we think the same way, you can only say ‘turtles really do think the same way

‘.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

This f*cking turtle!

The green sea turtle asked, “By the way, little friend Song, when do you want to go and look for the final medicinal ingredient?”

Song Shuhang replied, “The sooner, the better. Senior Turtle, how long is it going to take you to refine the Ice Soul Pill?”

The sea turtle said, “The Ice Soul Pill isn’t that troublesome to refine. I should be done with it in a bit over a day. Also, I heard from the Great Emperor that the place where your daughter is staying is a secret realm that has a different time scale. A day in that secret realm is equivalent to 12 days in the main world, right? That should be enough time.”

Listening to the sea turtle, Song Shuhang felt relieved, and he said, “Where is the last medicinal ingredient? Is it far from here? If it’s near, we might as well go and get it now. However, if it’s far, let’s wait until the sun comes out. Lastly… Li Yinzhu is not my daughter! How did this misunderstanding even arise? Senior Turtle, do you really think that someone at my age would already have a daughter?”

The sea turtle stared at Song Shuhang seriously, and said, “Looking at your appearance, you look like you’re at least 40 or 50 years old. Although most pract.i.tioners get children quite late in their lives, it would be quite normal for you to have a daughter at this age.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Do I really look that old?

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Senior Turtle, did your conscience not hurt at all from saying that? No matter how old I might look, won’t I at most look 30 years old?”

The old turtle quickly replied, “Nope, not only does it not hurt, but it’s very alive and well, it’s even quite elated and refreshed.”

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.

Talking with ‘Senior Turtle’ really makes one tired.

Should I just go see Senior Bie Xue later and tell her to make turtle soup tomorrow?

“Also, before you ask me if my conscience hurts, you should first look at yourself. You used a small fish to deceive your Senior Phoenix Slayer to let you borrow his CPU to try out the silly ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯ secret technique. Does that not hurt your conscience?”

Song Shuhang replied, “What do you mean? It was a fair trade, why would it hurt?”

Senior Turtle: “…”

I’ve already tried to help you realize the severity of the situation, but it seems that you still have not realized it, little friend Song~

If things continue this way, you’re going to lose that senior ‘Young Master Phoenix Slayer’ of yours.

Well, I guess I’ll just wait until sunrise. At that time, I will be able to sit nearby and watch as Song Shuhang and Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s boat of friends.h.i.+p flips over.

Hmm… that scene will actually be quite interesting to watch.

Senior Turtle had been filling himself up with a lot of knowledge ever since he’d woken up. However, it was quite clear that his focus was quite crooked with him knowing about all kinds of messy buzzwords, but not being as read on more important knowledge.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang took the green sea turtle back to Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s immortal cave.

After everyone chose to stay at her immortal cave yesterday, Immortal Fairy lent everyone a token so that they could come and go in the immortal cave freely.

After returning, Song Shuhang went to the room next to his and checked up on Lady Onion and Little Cai.

The two were still in the inner demon tribulation state, and had yet to extricate themselves.

Little Cai’s body was shaking, while the energy in her body was chaotic.

On the other hand, Lady Onion appeared quite calm, and was no longer muttering things unconsciously. She looked like she was doing much better than before.

It seems like Lady Onion is going to get through her inner demon tribulation in a while,

Song Shuhang thought to himself.

After that, he fell into contemplation.

Lady Onion’s hundreds of years as a green onion were actually very simple; she did not experience that many horrible situations. For her, the worst part of her life was probably just when her onions sprouts would get taken by Immortal Fairy Bie Xue for cooking. After being given some time to relax, getting through the inner demon tribulation should not be a problem for her.

The more simple-minded a person or monster, the bigger the advantage they had when transcending their inner demon tribulation.

One could be austere when they were without selfish desires!

On the other hand, Little Cai experienced ’emotional pain’ when she fell in love with the most unattainable being for monsters, the ‘monster hunter’; moreover, she had experienced her lifespan nearing its end. Just these two points would make her inner demon tribulation vastly more difficult to transcend.

Song Shuhang gently said, “I hope that you two will be able to quickly succeed transcending your tribulation.”

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang returned to his room. Inside, he lay on his bed and flipped open the thick ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯ book.

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Turtle, you still haven’t said where the last medicinal ingredient we need is.”

The sea turtle said, “The last medicinal ingredient we need is the [Buddha’s Hand Fruit]. It’s a very common kind of medicinal ingredient. Generally, buddhist sects would have planted a lot of these, and we should be able to find it at any cultivator market, so there’s no need to worry.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Turtle, do you mean ‘very ordinary’ in the sense of the ancient era, or this era?”

The current era was very different from the ancient era. In the ancient era, there was ample spiritual energy, and there were miraculous medicines everywhere. However, the modern era was a time when spiritual energy was in a state akin to a ‘low tide’. Before the next wave of spiritual power came, the number of spiritual medicines would be scarce.

Senior Turtle replied, “Relax, I already asked about it. It isn’t rare at all, it’s actually very common instead.”

Listening to these words, Song Shuhang felt a wave of relief.

The night grew darker.

Song Shuhang flipped through the book in his hand, carefully looking at each of the secret techniques recorded in it.

After thinking for a while, Song Shuhang gritted his teeth.

He reached out and took off his glove. After that, pressed his hand against the book and activated his secret appraisal technique.

I have to at least make sure that this book was written by Slow-Witted Song and that it’s hiding the secret of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯.

As he used the appraisal technique, dozens of wounds appeared on his wrist, from which blood spewed out.

Senior Turtle stared wide-eyed, and said, “Hey, what’s happening to you?”

“I’m alright, you’ll get used to it,” Song Shuhang replied casually while activating his ancient bronze ring to heal him.

This ring was something that he had obtained from ‘Daoist Priest Li Tiansu’. It could cast a healing technique that was at the level of the Second Stage. Currently, Song Shuhang could only use it to heal flesh wounds and stop himself from bleeding.

A golden rune descended from Song Shuhang’s eyes onto the book and transformed into a clock that was going in reverse.

When the rune returned, a string of information appeared in Song Shuhang’s mind.

[The ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯ is a core inheritance of the ‘All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ organization that was established by the ancient Heavenly City’s survivor ‘Beep Beep Beep’. The authors are the founders of the organization, ‘Beep Beep Beep’ and ‘Song Beep Beep’, but it seems to also be hiding a personal secret of ‘Song Beep Beep’.]

The Sword Immortal White Bone’s information in this piece of information had been blocked, which meant that the founder of this silly organization, Fairy White Bone, was still alive and well.

That aside, Song Beep Beep… should be referring to Slow-Witted Song, right?

This time, the information from the secret appraisal technique could only glean Slow-Witted Song’s ‘surname’. However, this should mean that… Slow-Witted Song was still alive and well somewhere in the world.

It was not enough; he needed more information. He was hoping for something along the lines of how to dig out the secrets of Slow-Witted Song from the book.

As such, he continued to urge the secret appraisal technique.

[Please pay attention to the rights of cultivating citizens. As the following contents are related to the individual ‘Song Beep Beep’, it is not open to the public. Please understand.]

Song Shuhang: “…”

He looked up at the sky and let out a deep sigh.

I have 1,000,000 adorable ‘f*ck you’ and I want to have them delivered to you, please do receive them!

Since ‘Slow-Witted Song’ himself had left the secret appraisal technique in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, so when using it to pry information about him, there’d be a problem of ‘insufficient authority’.

F*cking Dou— oh, no, True Monarch Yellow Mountain said that Doudou is about to get married, can’t steal him from his husband.

So ‘f*cking’ who?

Well, it doesn’t matter, anyone’s fine.

“Little friend Shuhang, is something wrong with you? You don’t look that well, it’s like you’re being choked?” the sea turtle asked in confusion.

Song Shuhang put away the book, and replied, “I’m alright, Senior Turtle. I just suddenly felt sleepy. I’m going to go to bed. Wake me up at dawn, there’s still a lot of things to attend to.”

There was still the inner demon tribulation of Little Cai and Lady Onion, as well as using Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s CPU to figure out the secrets hidden in the book, and he still had to take the time to buy the medicinal ingredient called ‘Buddha’s Hand Fruit’, and then refine the Ice Soul Pill to save Li Yinzhu…

Once dawn arrived, Song Shuhang was really going to be quite busy.
