Mortal: Fairy Song Yu has issued you a task.

Chapter 35 Song Yu with the Child

Baifeng Peak, Song Yu Cave.

"Hmph! You heartless little thing, I give you good food and drink, and even build you a nest with spiritual herbs and wood, and you don't even acknowledge me."

Song Yu stretched out her slender fingers and poked Xueyunhu Xiaoyun's round belly repeatedly.

Xiao Yun yawned lazily, flicked her long tail impatiently, rolled over and curled up deep in the fox den, burying her head and continuing to sleep soundly.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! All you do is stay cooped up all day. You might as well never come out again." Song Yu scolded irritably, then got up and ignored him.

She arrived at the stone table, set out the tea set, and prepared to enjoy the tea. At that moment, a sound transmission talisman swept into the cave.

A young girl's voice then rang out: "Greetings, Senior Sister Song."

Because Meng Yao was in seclusion to build her foundation, Peak Master Song entrusted this junior sister surnamed Shen to Song Yu to guide her in her initial cultivation.

As soon as the cave's restrictions were lifted, the girl with her hair in two buns rushed in, stopping only in front of Song Yu and bowing respectfully.

"How can you cultivate your mind with such impulsive actions?" Song Yu raised his hand to pour her a cup of tea. "Drink tea to calm your mind first, then follow me in cultivation."

Junior Sister Shen downed her drink in one gulp and blinked as she looked at Song Yu.

Seeing this, Song Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, let's begin now."

She led her junior sister to a corner of the courtyard, where the two sat on the bluestone and practiced their cultivation techniques in the morning sun.

"Feel the breath between heaven and earth, and regard it as a whole..." As Song Yu's lazy yet magnetic voice rang out, a shimmering spiritual light rose from the two figures, one large and one small.

As the sun reached its zenith, Song Yu remained calm, but the girl surnamed Shen looked utterly exhausted.

"Haste makes waste; let's stop here for today." Song Yu was the first to conclude his practice.

Junior Sister Shen followed closely behind, letting out a long sigh: "Cultivating immortality is really too tiring."

Song Yu smiled faintly and said, "Cultivation is inherently a struggle against the heavens; there is no easy path to it."

Junior Sister Shen jumped off the bluestone and hopped around a few times: "Senior Sister, where to go next? Why don't you take me to visit the other peaks in the sect?"

"Once you reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, I will take you there." Song Yu stood up and walked slowly toward the tea room.

Junior Sister Shen chased after her indignantly, saying, "I've only been cultivating for a short time, how long am I supposed to wait?!"

Song Yu didn't respond. Junior Sister Shen had no choice but to settle for second best: "Then could you at least take me around White Phoenix Peak again?"

"Didn't I already show you around these past few days?"

"We've already gone around, but you won't take me anywhere else."

"Then we'll loosen the rules a bit. Once you reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, you'll be allowed to move freely within the peak."

"All right……"

Junior Sister Shen, resting her chin on her hand, watched Song Yu gracefully arrange the tea set and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, don't you find it boring staying in the manor every day?"

"You can't stay still even at home?"

"Of course! My hometown, Tiantong City, is very lively. It is located on the southeastern border of Xi Kingdom, and cultivators and mortals come and go in an endless stream. The ferry outside the city is full of merchant ships. Moreover, following the Tong River, you can go directly to Yanhua Kingdom, which is controlled by Luanming Sect."

Seeing that Song Yu did not interrupt, Junior Sister Shen continued speaking at length:

"Besides my Shen family, there is another family in the city that specializes in cultivating immortality, namely the Qin family."

"The Qin family is practically a local tyrant. They control most of the surrounding mines and have close ties with Baiqiao Academy. As for our Shen family, we just do small-scale trading in medicinal herbs and elixirs."

Song Yu paused, slightly surprised, and said, "You're not very old, but you know quite a lot."

Junior Sister Shen proudly raised her head: "Of course, I overheard Father and Brother discussing things and wrote it down." As soon as she finished speaking, her little face fell. "I haven't seen them in a long time, and I do miss them."

Just as Song Yu was about to offer some words of comfort, a sound transmission talisman pierced through the air.

She reached out and caught it, scanning it with her divine sense. Instantly, a look of joy spread across her face.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? You look so happy."

Song Yu immediately suppressed his smile and regained his composure: "Really? You must have misread it. I have to go out on business. You stay here obediently."

As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned her jade flute and soared into the sky.

Waterfall and Bamboo Pavilion.

After sending the transmission talisman, Lin Jingchu stood quietly in the pavilion and waited. In the late winter and early spring, the cluster of moon-shaped roses outside the pavilion still bloomed elegantly and beautifully.

"Junior Brother Lin, I've kept you waiting." Song Yu stepped into the bamboo pavilion, looked at Lin Jingchu, whose aura was serene and elegant, and smiled slightly. "Congratulations on successfully establishing your foundation."

"In the end, I can't keep up with Senior Sister's rapid progress. It took me a few more days before I dared to come out of seclusion to meet you," Lin Jingchu replied with a smile.

Song Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—was this person really that unwilling to call him "Uncle-Master"?

However, she didn't dwell on it, and instead asked curiously, "You've switched to cultivating the 'Moon Gazing Technique'?"

"Senior sister has a good eye; she recognized it at a glance."

"I have also studied that technique roughly. This method can actually condense the power of moonlight to assist in cultivation, which is indeed unique."

"Moonlight is indeed a wonderful thing; it even has the effect of nourishing the skin and preserving youth." Lin Jingchu looked in the bronze mirror yesterday and was surprised to find that he had become even more handsome.

This technique was discovered at just the right time, since being handsome is a lifelong thing, and the Youth-Preserving Pill is invaluable.

Song Yu glanced at him. He wasn't from the Hehuan Sect, so why was he focusing on his appearance?

She said directly, "Moonlight can also strengthen divine sense! It's a pity that this is the core of the technique and cannot be practiced alone, and I cannot switch to the main technique."

[Task Discovered]

[Task Name: Search for a Divine Sense Cultivation Technique]

[Posted by: Song Yu (Favorability: Close Friend)]

[Task Description: Song Yu is desperately seeking a spiritual cultivation technique that can be used as a supplement. Please find a complete spiritual cultivation technique and deliver it to her.]

[Task Reward: Determined based on the value of the skill provided]

A spiritual cultivation technique that can be used as a supplementary method? That would be none other than the "Great Evolution Technique," but unfortunately, the far west is too far away, so we can only plan for the long term.

Lin Jingchu pondered for a moment, then took out a wooden box and handed it over: "Senior Sister, this is Purple Frost Fruit. I need to go on a long trip soon, and I will ask other senior and junior sisters to help me find more spiritual fruits."

"Going on a long trip?"

"Yes. My master instructed me to go to Tiantong City in Nanzhou to set up a protective formation for a local cultivation family. It will probably take about a month before I can return to the sect."

"Tian Tong City?" Song Yu's expression turned slightly strange.

"Senior Sister knows this place?" Lin Jingchu was quite surprised. He had seen the map provided by the system, and the place was not close to Luoyun Sect.

Song Yu smiled as he thought of the talkative little boy in the cave: "My mother's newest disciple is from the Shen family of Tiantong City."

Then, she started talking to Lin Jingchu about her restless junior sister.

……

About half an hour later, Song Yu gracefully landed back in the courtyard of his own cave.

"Senior sister! You're back! Where have you been? Why have you been gone for so long?" Shen, who was engrossed in writing something in the courtyard, immediately dropped her brush and hopped over.

Song Yu glanced at the letter on the table, then looked down at the little radish-like head that barely reached his waist, and chuckled, "Junior Sister Shen, are you writing a letter home?"

"yes!"
