Chapter 1237 It’s harvest season again

　　Daoist Umbrella really seemed to be a special person to ‘Pavilion Master Chu’.

　　Song Shuhang became quite curious as to whom Daoist Umbrella might have been based on as he did not seem to be a disciple of the original Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

　　Kindness softly asked, “Senior Tyrannical Song, was that person just now also someone at the Ninth Stage?”

　　She asked this due to having seen Daoist Umbrella open a spatial gate and leave through it just now. Senior Tyrannical Song is very resourceful, he actually knows so many Ninth Stage experts.

　　Song Shuhang shook his head. He did not confirm Kindness’ guess because he did not know what Daoist Umbrella’s realm was. He couldn’t see through Daoist Umbrella’s cultivation, and Daoist Umbrella himself forgot about his own realm.

　　Song Shuhang said, “By the way, Great Master Turtle, can I trouble you to ask about the passageway to the main world on my behalf?”

　　Pavilion Master Chu giving him the ‘resurrection crystal’ gave him a bad hunch… It seems Pavilion Master Chu wants to make a big move.

　　Under this premise, it would be best for him to figure out a way to get back to the main world just in case.

　　Great Master Turtle nodded, and said, “No problem, Senior Tyrannical Song. I will contact the alliance headquarters as soon as possible. I will probably have an answer for you by tonight at the latest.”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Thank you.”

　　Great Master Turtle said, “We should be the ones thanking Senior Tyrannical Song instead. There are some infected among the branches that are near the Black Horse Branch who are coming here as quickly as they can. At that time, we will be relying on you.”

　　Song Shuhang replied, “Leave it to me. As long as I can still save them, I won’t give up on them.”

　　Great Master Turtle thanked Song Shuhang, and then got up and left.

　　He was going to use the internal communication means of the organization to contact the alliance headquarters.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Song Shuhang moved the ‘palace’ to the rear of the Black Horse Branch.

　　In order to avoid causing any chaos within the Black Horse Branch, he left the virtuous lamia in his room, and entered the Inner World to begin his daily practice.

　　The saber technique, footwork, the ❮Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha❯… and finally, the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯.

　　He practiced all the way until nighttime.

　　“It should be about September 19, right?” Song Shuhang guessed.

　　The Beast Realm’s sunrise and sunset were longer than those of the Earth, so the scale of time should be quite different between the two places.

　　At this time, the virtuous lamia sent a message. Great Master Turtle and the branch head of the Black Horse Branch came meet with him. In addition, they had also brought several members who were afflicted with the evil energy of the Netherworld.

　　Great Master Turtle asked, “Senior Tyrannical Song, are you free right now?”

　　Song Shuhang stepped out of the Inner World and reached out to open the door.

　　Great Master Turtle anxiously said, “This is the first batch of fallen members. These four were immediately sealed after they began falling. Their situation is fairly stable, but we still ask for Senior Tyrannical Song’s assistance.”

　　Song Shuhang glanced at the four members, and saw that their state was even better than that of Great Master Turtle’s companion.

　　Song Shuhang said, “Leave it to me. Exit the room for a short while as I cast a magical technique to remove the evil energy from all of them.”

　　Great Master Turtle asked, “You can do it on all four of them at the same time?”

　　Song Shuhang calmly said, “When it comes to this level of contamination, it won’t make a difference whether I cure one or 10 of them at the same time.”

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s confident attitude gave Great Master Turtle greater confidence.

　　And so, he and his other companions first exited the room.

　　When he was leaving the room, right before he closed the door, Great Master Turtle quietly left behind a chest of treasures.

　　The chest contained a variety of forging materials; these materials were the best they had.

　　Forging materials were as good a currency as spirit stones in the world of cultivation.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Song Shuhang glanced at the chest and smiled gently.

　　Great Master Turtle was really thoughtful; someone like him was just easy to get along with.

　　The virtuous lamia stepped forward and erupted with light of virtue. The light of virtue filled and covered the entire room, preventing outsiders from peeping.

　　Song Shuhang summoned out the lotus roots, and had them pierce into these the four people.

　　Within two breaths of time, the evil energy within their bodies was swept away, and became nutrients for Song Shuhang’s ‘Inner World’.

　　After that, while the light coming from the virtuous lamia had yet to disperse, Song Shuhang went to the treasure chest and opened it.

　　It contained a lot of forging materials, though Song Shuhang did not recognize most of them. Well, he could not really be blamed for this; he hadn’t been in the world of cultivation for that great an amount of time yet.

　　“Nevertheless, this is exactly what I need.” Song Shuhang stored away the treasure chest.

　　If he got the code, he would consider forging the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. At that time, he would need a lot of forging materials.

　　The Great Northern Emperor had once told Song Shuhang that the forging process for the ‘Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure’ of the Divine Beast Department was extremely difficult.

　　Moreover, he had to forge and assemble it before he reached the Fifth Stage. Just forging 33 magical treasures alone would already require the consumption of an enormous amount of materials. Once again, it had to be noted that if he reached the Fifth Stage Realm, he would no longer have a chance of assembling the combined magical treasure.

　　What was even more heart-wrenching was that the assembling of the combined treasure still had a chance to fail. Once it failed, there would be nothing that could be done other than do everything all over again.

　　In general, this was a magical treasure for rich people with excellent luck.

　　If a biochemical calamity were to really take place in the Beast Realm, would I, a doctor who can deal with the ‘contamination process’, be able to make insane profits? Song Shuhang thought to himself while he put away the materials.

　　After five breaths of time…

　　The virtuous lamia’s light dissipated.

　　Song Shuhang returned to where he was before and sat cross-legged. “It’s done, you can come in and bring these fellow daoists out.”

　　Great Master Turtle hurriedly entered with his fellow daoists from the alliance.

　　After entering, they saw that their companions had returned to their original state, and the evil energy of the Netherworld which had previously plagued them was completely gone. Although they now seemed rather feeble, that shouldn’t really be a problem.

　　“Thank you, Senior Tyrannical Song.” The members of the human alliance loudly expressed their gratitude.

　　Although Song Shuhang could not understand their words, he could see what they wanted to express through how they acted.

　　In addition to the profits from the forging materials and the evil energy of the Netherworld, Song Shuhang felt that his ‘power of virtue’ also rose a little bit, despite it rarely ever increasing.

　　This business was a really good one.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　The four infected people were simply the beginning.

　　After that, a steady stream of patients was sent to Song Shuhang’s room.

　　At the beginning, all of them were still members of the human alliance, but some people who had a good relationship with the human alliance would later send their infected members over as well.

　　Great Master Turtle found it hard to reject them. However, he was also worried that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song would be displeased, so when sending the members of the groups who had a decent relationship with the alliance, he asked Song Shuhang for instructions first.

　　He did not expect Profound Sage Tyrannical Song to be so easy to talk to and immediately promise to treat them.

　　It’s great that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song promised to treat them.

　　Afterward, Great Master Turtle took the initiative to increase the cost that other groups had to pay by half.

　　Later, more and more infected people would come from all directions.

　　News in the Beast Realm indeed spread quickly.

　　Soon, a steady stream of infected people would come to Song Shuhang’s residence.

　　And so, an endless stream of evil energy entered the Inner World.

　　At the same time, an endless stream of forging materials entered Song Shuhang’s pockets.

　　In addition, though it was quite a small amount, virtue slowly accumulated within Song Shuhang’s body as well.

　　Song Shuhang could no longer count how much forging materials he had collected.

　　Anyway, he now received chests after chests of materials, which he would directly throw into the Inner World.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Groups of infected people came to the Black Horse Branch, and would soon leave satisfied.

　　“Profound Sage Tyrannical Song truly is worthy of being the first Sage in 1000 years, he actually has such great strength. From the evening up until now, he’s cured well over 300 infected people, right?” At the entrance of the Black Horse Branch, there were a few experts from the ‘All the Humans of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ organization chatting.

　　“And if you pay close attention, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song seems to be getting faster and faster at curing patients. It seems that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is able to deal with the evil energy of the Netherworld in a few breaths of time.”

　　“The news that the Black Horse Branch has a Profound Sage that can cure the infected has spread all over the Beast Realm. Soon, there will definitely be more and more people coming over to seek medical treatment. We should remain alert so that nobody causes any trouble.”

　　While these members of the human alliance were talking with one another, in the distance, a sharp roar could be heard.

　　After that, a dragon beast that was enveloped in the evil energy of the Netherworld rushed towards the Black Horse Branch.

　　This dragon beast looked like a western dragon, but it had no wings. It simply traversed the air while its aura rose rapidly.

　　While it was approaching the Black Horse Branch, its aura had risen from the Sixth Stage to the Seventh Stage.

　　“Not good.” The experts of the human alliance who had just decided to guard the Black Horse Branch groaned.

　　They were all only at the Fifth Stage Realm. How were they supposed to deal with the dragon that had completely fallen?

　　“Why is the dragon beast coming towards us?”

　　“Could there be someone manipulating it from the dark?”

　　“It might also be that this dragon beast wanted to go to the Black Horse Branch for treatment before it ended up falling completely. Following that idea, it should have become a demonic dragon beast on its way here.”

　　The dragon beast rushed towards the Black Horse Branch.

　　At that moment, the figure of virtuous lamia suddenly stepped out of the room.

　　She was riding a fat whale while holding Scarlet Heaven Sword in her right hand and the flat imperial hat in her left hand.

　　At this time, most of the energy of the flat imperial hat had already recovered.

　　The virtuous lamia had long wanted to find a chance to put on the ‘flat imperial crown’, but she never got the chance to do so. Of course, that was until now when this evil dragon beast finally appeared, giving her the chance she wanted.

　　She closed her eyes, tied up her long hair, put on the flat crown, and skillfully inserted the jade pin into her long hair.

　　The ‘tassels’ right in front of the flat imperial crown swayed gently in accordance with the actions of the virtuous lamia.

　　The virtuous lamia’s eyes opened, and strong dignity shone from her eyes.

　　She extended her hand and gently pushed on the flat imperial hat. In the next moment, a huge amount of power of virtue burst out from the crown, and a gorgeous female robe emerged on her body.

　　The ‘Virtuous Empress’ that had appeared during the show of divinity of the first Sage in 1000 years had reappeared.

　　The empress raised Scarlet Heaven Sword and slashed towards the demonic dragon beast.

　　The sword qi was like a rainbow as it appeared in a flash.

　　The demonic dragon beast was cut in half before it could even arrive.

　　The virtuous lamia pouted her lips in discontent.

　　This guy was too weak.

　　She stretched out her hand and took the body of the demonic dragon beast and returned to Song Shuhang’s room.

　　At the same time, Song Shuhang felt that his ‘Inner World’ was about to upgrade. He only needed a bit more of evil energy!
