Her allegiance was ultimately uncertain.

However, the appearance of Madam Tong quickly resolved the issue.

At the moment they saw Tong Jia, the city gate guards respectfully bowed and recited, "Greetings, Taoist Temple Master Tong," then opened the gate under Tong Jia’s assurance.

Lady Zhushan entered the city alone, riding alongside Madam Tong.

"Accompany me, an old woman, to a place."

Lady Zhushan’s expression was complex, lacking the cold aura from their first meeting.

Tong Jia accompanied her, gathering wine, meat, incense, and paper money along the way, before arriving at an unnamed desolate grave mound deep within Pearl Mountain.

Lady Zhushan lit the paper money and incense, offering wine and meat in worship.

She gazed at the tomb with an infinitely complex expression, then asked, "Is Song here?"

Tong Jia responded, "I will find him."

Lady Zhushan shook her head and simply said, "Just thank him for me."

Having said that, she continued, "You all were right, it’s just this old woman became confused, blinded, unable to see the truth. The Fox Immortal is indeed a Fox Immortal, not a Fox spirit."

As she spoke, she loosened her heavy robe, wiping off the medicine on her face, revealing a nation-toppling beauty, though her eyes betrayed an age-old gaze.

She fixed her gaze on the nameless graves, saying, "These were all my relatives who died here. They treated me well in the past, but since I obtained this face, they changed...

I was always suspicious, always in pain.

Why would even familial love be swayed by beauty?

Why, even after trusting Fox Immortal Su, would she curse me?

Now I understand..."

She lifted her face to the sky, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Familial love never changed.

Fox Immortal Su did not disappoint me."

The wind was clear and the clouds were white, drifting leisurely as the water flowed east.

The once-despised face was no longer a burden but a source of pride.

In this world, what woman does not love beauty?

"Jia, from now on, Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple is entirely yours.

I shall return to the Barbarian Tribes.

With me there, the tribes will not be in turmoil.

If you ever see Fox Immortal Su again, tell her on my behalf... I’m sorry.

If Su Houzhang has died, please also tell me.

I would be... eternally grateful."

...

...

Having explained these matters, Lady Zhushan took Tong Jia to Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, passing on the temple’s emblem of authority, and then hurriedly left, this time taking with her the Skull Double Fish Ornament.

The temple’s emblem of authority was an ancient styled house.

The house consisted of a gold jade couch and an ancient bronze mirror.

And naturally, these items were tricky devices, which Lady Zhushan spent forty years collecting.

The usage was the same as the Skull Double Fish Ornament: "placed under moonlight, usable the next day for a brief moment, available only to ordinary people."

However, this kind of tricky device gave Madam Tong a headache.

Because she could not use them.

Having already reached the Great Achievement of the Force Realm as a martial artist, where would she need such things?

So she called over her husband, who was out traveling, pointed at the bed and mirror, saying, "These are the emblems of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, but I can’t use them..."

Song Cheng approached, lifted a hand, an imperceptible divine soul extending from his fingertip, gently touching.

"Available only to ordinary people," he did not actually believe so.

Lady Zhushan was merely a "Contemplator," much of her power came from Su Ningyu, and of many principles, she remained unaware.

But Song Cheng understood.

Tricky devices contended with "Yang Qi."

Just like Fire Nation’s little ones contending with Ice Nation’s little ones.

Yet this influence did not target the divine soul.

As long as it was touched with a divine soul, it could be used as usual.

Indeed, in an instant, he felt as if he floated, simultaneously understanding how Lady Zhushan had spied on him...

Because when his divine soul linked to the mirror, he saw it reflect almost the entire region of Hanping Prefecture.

A mere thought and the mirror zoomed in or out.

He could see the bustling market of Hanping Prefecture, martial arts halls...

However, the martial arts halls appeared blurry, especially the White Camel Estate under Ouyang Sha’s watch, which was a complete blur, nothing visible.

"A great thing."

"A great what?" Madam Tong asked.

Song Cheng replied, "Didn’t you see the scenes in the mirror?"

"What... what did you see?" Madam Tong asked in surprise. She only saw herself and Song Cheng in the mirror, with no scenes of Hanping Prefecture.

Song Cheng described what he saw.

Madam Tong said, "Then... then you should keep this emblem.

I know, you have always silently guarded this place. The mirror is most suited for you.

Now I am the Taoist Temple Master of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, I decide what the emblem is."

With that, she also took out a small booklet, "Give it to Hua, he has wanted it for a long time."

Song Cheng opened it, the scribbles on the pages unmistakably his wife’s style of "Medicine Body Formulation"...

"What is this?"

"A medicinal human formula."

"Does Hua recognize your handwriting?"

Madam Tong feigned anger.

Song Cheng quickly said, "Alright, alright, just this, this."

Though Madam Tong pretended to be angry, she still took back the booklet to carefully review, then sat at the desk, pen in hand, editing any sections that seemed scribbled.

While she perfected the "medicinal human formula," she said, "Husband, why not try that gold jade couch, if it’s good, take them together."

Song Cheng teased, "If mother-in-law knew you were so prodigal, she would surely regret it."

Madam Tong replied, "Isn’t it all for you?"

Song Cheng approached the gold jade couch, raised a hand, and touched it with his divine soul.

In an instant, a comfort spread throughout his body from the couch, his energy quickly restored, his divine soul felt nourished, the comfort akin to swallowing ice and snow in midsummer or eating hotpot in the depth of winter, reaching the top of his crown.
