Chapter 183: 117, 118. Passed the Noble Family test, this... is the Yin Residence? (Big Chapter - ask for subscription)_4

Fox Immortal Su said, "That’s the way it is, a Ghost Servant will become stronger, but that’s not the most terrifying thing... Evil spirits will merge and unify, and those created by unified evil spirits will become unimaginably more powerful."

After saying this, she didn’t continue on the topic. Instead, she changed the subject, "Song, come with me. I want to take you to test your talents. The Head of the Su Family says, if you have talent, she will allow you to join our Su Family."

After Su Houzhang was sealed, his vitality had completely dissipated. He was dying.

Once he dies, his Ice Coffin will be yours."

Song Cheng: ...

In an instant, he hesitated.

To go?

Or not to go?

It was clear the Noble Family was the gateway to a new world.

There was so much knowledge that could only be understood after making contact with the Noble Family.

And yet he didn’t want to let his Divine Soul leave his body and follow someone else.

It was too risky.

Even if Su Ningyu meant no harm to him, what if someone took advantage of her? Although it seemed unlikely, Song Cheng wasn’t too willing.

Seeing his hesitation, Su Ningyu said without emotion, "You don’t know the benefits of joining a Noble Family, do you?

Not to mention anything else, Ice Coffins are very scarce, and the number of Noble Family members is determined by the number of Ice Coffins.

You have as many Ice Coffins as you have people.

Just lying in an Ice Coffin can extend your life by twice; in deep sleep, even by three times."

Those who enter the Mystic Realm have a lifespan of nine cycles of sixty years.

Lying in an Ice Coffin without getting out, you can live for eighteen cycles, a full one thousand and eighty years!

Deep sleep, where neither the body nor the soul leaves, allows you to live for one thousand six hundred and twenty years!"

Song Cheng himself was quite uninterested in the "temptation of longevity."

What others desperately pursued, he had already unlimitedly...

However, at this moment, he still took an inquisitive stance and asked curiously, "What if you start deep sleep on the last day of the eighteen cycles?"

Su Ningyu smiled charmingly and said, "Song, there’s no such good thing in this world. If you have one year of life left, lying in the Ice Coffin can extend it to two years, and deep sleep can extend it to three years."

"I see." Song Cheng nodded his head, then suddenly asked, "What about for ordinary people? Can they extend their lives, too?"

He thought about the Ice Coffin. He might not need it, but if it could be used for Sister An, Madam Tong, or even Ting and An in the future, that wouldn’t be too bad.

If there were more Ice Coffins, Hua, Ying, and Ling, who were very close to him, could all be arranged for as well.

Su Ningyu frowned at him and said, "Mortals have their own fates, how can they use Ice Coffins to extend their lives?

Allocating an Ice Coffin means one less Noble Family Child."

Noble Family Children can pursue greater power, and they can suppress evil spirits all over the place, maintaining world peace.

What can mortals do if they use it?"

Just with this question, her approval of him dropped from "99" to "98."

Obviously, Su Ningyu had guessed his thoughts, and she disapproved of them.

Song Cheng knew that he was being a bit "presumptuous."

It was still up for debate whether he could pass the test, but he was already thinking of using the Ice Coffin for his own family members, which in Su Ningyu’s view was undoubtedly a poor performance.

Normal.

He would have felt the same if their positions were reversed, and his approval would have even fallen more drastically.

After a moment of contemplation, he sincerely apologized, "Sorry, Sister Su," and then asked, "How should I be tested?"

Su Ningyu’s expression improved a bit, and then she said, "You bring a servant girl who doesn’t know martial arts, along with a shovel, incense, and a firelighter, and follow me."

Song Cheng said, "Will the servant girl’s appearance change afterward?"

Su Ningyu said, "The Head of the Su Family has strong control over Divine Souls and won’t affect the person possessed. After the fact, there will be no lingering impression, just bring anyone."

Song Cheng had a moment of realization...

So that’s how it is.

Without asking more questions, he informed Sister An and Madam Tong and then went straight from the front yard to fetch a servant girl and set off in the carriage.

Su Ningyu directed the way, and the three quickly arrived at a wilderness near Pearl Mountain.

Su Ningyu searched for a location, then pointed to a place and said, "Song, dig."

Song Cheng didn’t say a word; he grabbed the shovel and furiously started digging.

This was a secretive task, so everything had to be done by himself.

His Gang Qi flowed through the shovel, cutting through dirt as if it were cutting through a mountain, and a large pit was quickly excavated.

He jumped into the hole and kept digging...

Thus, after toiling for most of two hours, he felt the shovel hit something different. He struck it, producing a crisp clang sound. One more dig and he unearthed a piece of black tile, like the kind used for roofs.

Su Ningyu said, "Dig a little more on both sides."

A moment later...

As Song Cheng’s last shovel hit the ground, the earth slightly collapsed, revealing a dilapidated temple buried underground.

Su Ningyu said, "Take us down."

Song Cheng grabbed one with each hand and leaped down.

The surroundings of the broken temple were buried in dirt, but the inside was empty. A Two-tails fox immortal with a charming presence sat serenely on the shrine, looking benign and cross-legged.

Afterward, the servant girl was arranged to light the incense and respectfully kowtow to the Two-tails fox immortal.

In a short while... the servant girl’s body suddenly stiffened, as if something had possessed her, and in a moment, that humble and respectful demeanor changed.

Profound, indifferent, yet curious.

The servant girl examined Song Cheng.

Song Cheng glanced at the servant girl.

Her stats instantly went from "0~0" to "0 (525)~0 (1050)," and her approval rating changed from "90" to "90 (80)."

This was higher than Song Cheng’s by quite a bit, yet... it seemed not too high, at least not too much of a gap.

If the head of a Noble Family is only at this realm, does that mean... all the Noble Families are still at the "Profound Level Grade D" or at most the "Profound Level Grade C"?

"Greetings, Family Head." Song Cheng gave a respectful bow.
