Chapter 189: 119, 120. Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue, Song Cheng Swallows Su Family (Large Chapter - Asking for Subscriptions)_5

And in that moment, he saw Su Mengzhen’s approval rating "jump" from "93" to "97"; she truly considered him one of her own now.

Su Mengzhen beckoned and said, "Song, come, I will help you choose a cultivation technique. The matter of connecting with evil spirits is actually related to the next level of the Mystic Realm, and to reach that level, one must overcome the Reappear Calamity."

Song Cheng nodded...

The selection of cultivation techniques in the Su Family also "broadened Song Cheng’s horizons".

The fictitious "Noble Family’s selection of cultivation techniques" involved slowly walking through a tremendously vast, majestic hall library, gazing at those golden cultivation techniques full of anticipation, and slowly approaching...

The reality of the "Noble Family’s selection of cultivation techniques" was the elder sister-in-law opening a cupboard in a cramped corner of the Yin Residence, then sticking up her backside, propping up her dark-colored pleated skirt, kneeling down, rummaging inside, and after verifying, took out a peculiar booklet.

This booklet wasn’t recorded on paper, but was purely a composition of Divine Soul.

Su Mengzhen handed the booklet to Song Cheng and said, "This is an Entry book for the Mystery Realm, a cultivation technique prepared for those with the Ghostly Soul Talent who have yet to step into the Mystic Realm. Take a look."

As for the other techniques, as the head of the Su Family, I must administer rewards and punishments clearly. Even for Yu, I can’t directly hand them over.

But don’t worry, my Su Family does have its foundations... Some of these techniques, even I have not mastered," she added.

Song Cheng understood.

At the same time, he realized that everything in the Yin Residence could probably only be accessed by the family head.

At that moment, he took the booklet and flipped through the pages.

A magical feeling flooded in.

There was no need to read aloud; he couldn’t make out the words, but corresponding information flooded into his mind.

This cultivation method was named "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue."

He flipped through it seriously, and when he had gone through it completely, the genuine Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue was imprinted in his mind.

But it was just imprinted; the panel did not show the word "Uninitiated".

However, this was normal; such a level of Dharma Method requires you to have the most basic understanding, realize how to cultivate it, and find that hint of opportunity to cultivate before the information of "Uninitiated" appears.

After looking through it, Song Cheng handed the booklet back to the elder sister-in-law.

Su Ningyu looked at him happily, then said, "Song, now that you are a member of my Su Family... can I come find you?"

Song Cheng smiled and nodded. He was very much looking forward to bringing Su Ningyu’s approval rating up to 100.

But immediately he added, "Is the place far? Will it pass through the Ghost Domain? Is it safe?"

The girl in red veil revealed a sweet smile and said, "Oh, you’re concerned about me?"

Song Cheng said, "You want to hear the truth?"

The girl in red veil was momentarily stunned, then said, "Yes."

Song Cheng shyly said, "I’m concerned about you."

Though it was just a flip remark, the girl in red veil burst out laughing sweetly and said, "Song, I’ll come tonight, but... it might take several days to get to Hanping Prefecture."

Unintentionally, Su Mengzhen found herself munching on a huge helping of public display of affection, but she had no feeling of sadness; instead, she was happy that her sister had found a Taoist companion, even her looks towards her future brother-in-law increasingly became friendlier.

She herself hadn’t found a suitable Taoist companion and only left offspring in the Human World. Now, seeing her sister happy, she too became happy.

...

...

After fully becoming a member of the Su Family, Song Cheng’s divine soul returned to his body.

By this time, daylight had dawned, and he yawned, but then he started pondering on the methods to cultivate the "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue."

This cultivation method was to help beings with "Ghostly Soul Talent" to step into the Mystic Realm.

However, he had no such Ghostly Soul.

"He was lying to everyone, okay?"

Even without a Ghostly Soul, couldn’t he still practice?

He began to study seriously.

"Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue" simply means swallowing the moon’s essence to cultivate, and the best time to practice is at midnight.

’Let’s try it tonight.’

Song Cheng thought to himself.

However, Su Ningyu might not come tonight, since her Divine Soul had returned to her True Self, and then her True Self had walked out of the Ice Coffin.

In utter boredom, Song Cheng couldn’t help but think about the strange question he had asked during the day.

’If only the head of a family can visualize the Yin Residence, then my ability to visualize the Ninefold Ghostly Tower surely means I’m also a family head?’

’Su Ningyu said a bit of the Divine Soul was extracted to connect with the Yin Residence, but she never mentioned that this soul would return. Yet I... came back.’

’What exactly is going on?’

Song Cheng was very puzzled.

He subconsciously visualized the Ninefold Ghostly Tower.

The tower layers nearly spanning heaven and earth suddenly appeared.

He found himself on the first layer, which was spacious enough to hold many Yin Residences of the Su Family.

Usually, his Divine Soul would go straight to the ninth layer, but today... he roamed around casually.

As he wandered, he suddenly paused, spotting a familiar small cabin in a corner of the first layer of the Ninefold Ghostly Tower.

The cabin was cramped, small, empty...

He reached the door of the cabin and subconsciously walked inside.

This... was it not the "Su Family’s Yin Residence"?

As Song Cheng walked, he saw the cabinets on either side.

These were cabinets that only the Head of the Su Family had the authority to open.

Song Cheng thought for a moment, raised his hand to the first cabinet door, and gently pulled.

The cabinet door... opened.

Inside were Spirit Tablets.

Song Cheng was startled, yet he tentatively reached out, grabbed his own Spirit Tablet, and gently moved it; the Spirit Tablet was picked up...

He hastily put the Spirit Tablet back, then closed the cabinet door.

He then turned to look at the other cabinet, the one that stored the Cultivation Techniques.

After a brief pause, he opened the cabinet, bent down, squatted, reached into the cabinet, and pulled out three Cultivation Techniques, including "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue."

Song Cheng: ...

Suddenly, a possible answer occurred to him.

If "the head of one Yin Residence" signs on the Spirit Tablet of another "Yin Residence", the two Yin Residences will merge.

If the difference between the two is too great, the smaller one will be directly swallowed by the larger one, but the head of the smaller Yin Residence... would have no idea at all.

Because of this, his Divine Soul was extracted by the "Su Family’s Yin Residence"; and since it merged with the "Ninefold Ghostly Tower", it was instantly returned to him.

’So, have I swallowed the Su Family?’

Song Cheng’s heart suddenly started pounding wildly.
