After seeing Nine Lanterns return to the temple, Song Shuhang hurriedly ran after her.
He had no idea what Nine Lanterns was going to do next. Perhaps in the next moment, she would suddenly bring him to the most mysterious place on the Heavenly Island, seal his memories, and send him out of the island...
In any case, he had no intention of guessing what Nine Lanterns was going to do next.
After returning to the temple, Nine Lanterns returned to her original position and stretched out her hand to quietly remove the seal on the enlightenment stone and Lady Onion. Afterward, she stretched out her finger and poked Lady Onion out of boredom.
"..." Lady Onion.
Seeing that Nine Lanterns didn't say anything else, Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and returned to the corner, squatting down and continuing to read his book.
After poking Lady Onion for a while, Nine Lanterns calmed herself down. Whenever she thought about that embarrassing rabbit dance, she felt like dying.
After calming down, Nine Lanterns took out her small notebook once more and drew a line on it.
1. Cook a dish and watch him eat it with your own eyes. (Underlined)
2. Accompany him to take a risk that is neither too big nor too small. (Underlined)
3. Save him once. (Underlined)
4. Read a lot of books together. (Underlined)
5: Dance a dance for him in the sea of flowers amidst the mountains and rivers. (Underlined)
6....
Just like the previous time, after she drew a line on the fifth line, the contents of the sixth line were revealed.
6. Fulfill a not-so-small wish of his.
Was this the feelings of a young girl?
Cooking for the 'him' of her dreams, accompanying him on a trip (adventure), saving his life to increase his favorability, reading books with him, and dancing for him... all of these could be understood as the feelings of a young girl.
But what did it mean to fulfill a wish of his?
"I'm not a wishing machine … why did I write this back then?" Nine Lanterns racked her brains, but she couldn't remember why she had written this wish back then.
"Did I really write this down myself?" She rubbed her temples.
It was only the sixth point, and it was already something as terrifying as the 'wishing machine'. What other terrifying things did she write after that when she was still a girl?
Fortunately … after the sixth wish. "Nine Lanterns' Wishes" only had one wish left, and she would soon be able to fulfill all seven of her wishes.
After closing the notebook, Nine Lanterns squeezed out a smile and looked at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang had just finished reading a thin book of scriptures. After sensing Nine Lanterns' gaze, he raised his head and looked back at her.
"This is for you." Nine Lanterns stretched out her hand and tossed a box toward Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and caught the box. After opening it, he discovered that the skin of the Little Finger Snake was inside.
With this snakeskin. Once he left the Heavenly Island, all he needed to do was to ask a senior who knew how to refine weapons for help, and he would be able to make a Size-Reducing Pouch.
"Thank you." Song Shuhang smiled and carefully put the box away.
This small box was also a treasure. When it came into contact with the Little Finger Snake's snakeskin, it did not shrink. This was a gift from Nine Lanterns.
"Right, Song Shuhang, do you have any wishes?" Nine Lanterns rested her chin on her hand and blinked.
"Wishes?" Song Shuhang put down the book and pondered. After a short moment, he asked, "What kind of wishes? Material ones? Material ones? Or something else? "
"Anything is fine. Regardless of what it is, you can tell me. "Nine Lanterns smiled warmly.
"For example, wishing for world peace?" Song Shuhang replied — he didn't know why his mouth twitched and he blurted out this answer.
Blue veins could be faintly seen bulging on Nine Lanterns' forehead. Since she had a beautiful bald head, the bulging blue veins were very obvious. Song Shuhang immediately saw these 'angry blue veins'.
"Wait, Miss Nine Lanterns, I was just joking! Seeing that the atmosphere was so good, I couldn't help but crack a joke! "Song Shuhang hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
Recently … he often couldn't help but think. Some death-courting words would come out of his mouth. Was it because he was too deeply influenced by Senior Three Waves?
After returning this time, he had to remember to block Senior Three Waves for a period of time. Courting death was contagious, and its contagious power was terrifying!
Only then did the blue veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead slightly relax.
"Cough. Actually, I have a lot of wishes. For example, I want to quickly become stronger so that I can take care of things on my own. "Song Shuhang pondered and replied.
Only when he had the strength to take care of things on his own would he be able to let his family live a good life without worrying about his identity as a cultivator. He wouldn't have to worry about his family being harmed by hostile cultivators. Only by becoming stronger would he be able to better help his friends. For example, when Jouko Hagi went to her friend's family, Song Shuhang wasn't able to help much because his strength was too low.
"On the path of cultivation, you have to take things one step at a time. The strength of your body, the realm, and the cultivation of your mind have to be steadily increased. You can't be too hasty, or else there will be hidden dangers. "Nine Lanterns put her hands together and earnestly explained.
Song Shuhang's wish was something that every cultivator looked forward to. However, it wasn't something that could be rushed.
"I know that, but it's precisely because it's so difficult to achieve that it's a wish." Song Shuhang smiled.
Nine Lanterns silently nodded.
"Then, for example, there's something that I really want during this period of time." Song Shuhang pinched his chin and said.
Nine Lanterns' eyes lit up. "Let's hear it."
"It's a heavenly treasure called the skeletal dragon's withered vine. I have a fellow daoist who was injured. If we have the skeletal dragon's withered vine, it can speed up her recovery." Song Shuhang thought of Su Clan's Shiliu.
Ever since she sent herself over to play with Song Shuhang for a long time and was brought back to the Spirit River Su Clan by Senior Seven, there hadn't been any news of her.
When the seniors in the group asked about Shiliu's condition, Senior Seven only mentioned that he needed the skeletal dragon's withered vine to speed up Shiliu's recovery. However, he didn't mention the specifics of Shiliu's recovery.
"Skeletal dragon's withered vine? This thing isn't common. In the past several hundred years, very few people have seen a divine beast like a dragon. "Nine Lanterns pondered.
The skeletal dragon's withered vine was a special spiritual material that grew on the bones of a 'dragon corpse'. The dragon corpse she was talking about wasn't a 'dinosaur', but a real 'dragon'.
However, dragons had their own tombs, and the number of dragons that died in the outside world could be counted on one's fingers. Moreover, dragon corpses didn't rot for thousands of years, so it wasn't easy to wait for them to turn into dragon bones. Growing a withered vine on a dragon bone was even more difficult.
"It doesn't have to be dragon bones. Even the 'skeletal dragon's withered vine' from a flood dragon is enough," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Nine Lanterns tapped her finger on the table.
After a short while, she looked at Song Shuhang with a smile. "If it's just the skeletal dragon's withered vine, I know of a place in the Heavenly Island that can be found."
Song Shuhang was slightly startled. Immediately after, he sat up straight and looked at Nine Lanterns expectantly.
"However, it won't be easy to obtain the skeletal dragon's withered vine." Nine Lanterns continued to tap her finger on the table.
"Miss Nine Lanterns, please give me some pointers." Song Shuhang sat up straight and asked politely. From Nine Lanterns' expression and conversation, he could vaguely guess that Nine Lanterns wanted to give him some benefits — even if he had to pay a certain price.
If this benefit was the skeletal dragon's withered vine, then Song Shuhang wouldn't be able to refuse it.
Suddenly, Nine Lanterns blurted out, "You used the word 'pointers' well, I like it!"
"..." Song Shuhang.
"Ahem, you rest for a while. I'll make some preparations, and then I'll take you to see one of the island-guarding spirit beasts on the island. I remember that it has a very old flood dragon's skeleton with withered vines growing on it. Although the withered vine isn't very useful to that senior spirit beast, it won't be easy for you to obtain it from him. You have to prepare yourself for failure. "Nine Lanterns stood up and patted her monk robes, smiling.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath and replied, "As long as there's hope, I can give it a try."
"Alright, you should adjust your condition. Perhaps that senior spirit beast will test your strength. ' I'll go and change my clothes. Wait a moment. " After saying this, Nine Lanterns stretched out her hand and swept the enlightenment stone and Lady Onion back into Song Shuhang's hands.
Soon after, she got up and went to the back of the temple to change her clothes.
If even Nine Lanterns had to change her clothes before meeting that senior spirit beast, what kind of senior would it be?
Speaking of guardian spirit beasts, Song Shuhang immediately thought of the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
After thinking about the possibility of meeting such a legendary spirit beast, Song Shuhang was somewhat excited.
Moreover, Nine Lanterns said that she wanted to change her clothes. Could it be that she wanted to change back into female clothes?
* * * * *
When Nine Lanterns reappeared, she had changed into a brand new monk robe. Oh, it had changed from gray to white.
"Let's go." Nine Lanterns faintly smiled and took the lead, leaving the temple with the golden staff in her hand.
Song Shuhang put the enlightenment stone and Lady Onion away and followed closely behind Nine Lanterns.
They didn't ride a horse or a carriage; the two of them walked on foot.
After walking for half an hour, Song Shuhang saw a huge mountain valley.
The valley was beautiful, and one could faintly hear celestial music coming from it. It seemed to be the sound of a zither. There were also hundreds of birds singing along with it.
What a wonderland!
From the looks of it, the spirit beast that resided in this wonderland was a senior that loved music. I wonder if it will test me on music content when it tests me later?
"Look at my steps and follow them. Don't make a single mistake." At this time, Nine Lanterns' voice echoed.
