Chapter 240: 141, 142. Invitation, Farming, Battlefield, Rescue (Large Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Early in the morning, Su Ningyu recovered the quickest and soon got up; Madam Tong was also worried that An had gone out on errands.

Song Cheng gently stroked his wife’s long hair before sharing the information he had gathered about venturing out and merging with the Human Skin Ghost, "Saint Heavenly Buddha," "Arhat," and others.

An Chenyu was startled for a moment and said, "Husband, it’s right not to tell Sister Su and Jia sister for now."

Song Cheng said, "I don’t even know what I am now, that Human Skin Ghost is inside my body..."

An Chenyu leaned against him and spoke softly, "My man is really capable."

She then added, "The matter of the Saint Heavenly Buddha cannot be rushed.

Since husband has decided to stay in the north for now, let’s wait for the Xiao Family while nurturing the Yingui Association.

Once it is populated with experts, they will infiltrate all sides and bring us information."

"I’ve already tried it; even when Ting’s bird is taken outside the city, it can still maintain contact with Ting.

I haven’t tried further distances yet.

But if there are no distance limits, then... our daughter will become the source of all miracles."

She tenderly said, "No matter how dangerous it is outside, we will face it together with my husband."

Song Cheng looked at Sister An, so mature and knowledgeable, and suddenly felt a bit "naughty." He then put on a straight face and said, "Sister An isn’t worried that I am now a ghost?"

An Chenyu didn’t say anything; she kissed his cheek, giving Song Cheng a feeling that "Sister An is coddling a child."

He thought about it and found it uninteresting.

After all, he knew he was indeed not a ghost.

The ghosts were all in his tower.

So, he said, "How does Sister An know I am fine?"

An Chenyu laughed and said, "I don’t know about things, but I do know about people. What kind of person my husband is, I am very clear about... If there really was a danger, would my husband still come back here, to be with his wife and children?"

Song Cheng said, "Sister An is too clever, and I can’t help but want to punish you now."

No sooner had he spoken than An Chenyu gritted her teeth and turned over.

The city gates were flung open, swallowing the general with the gun, and the fierce army of thousands upon thousands...

...

...

A massive retreat led to the emptiness of the Prefectural City.

Thousands of empty homes seemed like a ghost town.

Yet, the only lively place was at the foothills of Pearl Mountain, surrounded by fertile farmland, forming a small town.

This was the condensed Hanping Prefecture, which was also the Yingui Association.

Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, along with some remaining forces from the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and White Camel Estate, had merged here.

At this moment, Song Cheng was sitting beside Madam Tong in a secluded area of the original Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple.

Madam Tong was busy mixing medicines and studying alchemy, resembling an "otherworldly naturalist and chemist."

Song Cheng casually added points to the "Five-tails" and "Six-tails" Battle Method, then glanced over the panel:

[Points Added: 305]

[Realm: Mysterious Level Grade C]

[Cultivation Technique]

Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra (Mysterious Level Grade C) (Six Tails) (Perfection)

[Skills]

Six Tails Mother-and-Child Spirit (Mysterious Level Grade C) (Perfection)

Five-tailed Fox Fire (Mysterious Level Grade C) (Perfection)

One-tailed Fox Dance (Mysterious Level Grade D) (Perfection)

Clearly, the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra" was an impressive cultivation technique.

At "Six Tails," it indeed underwent a qualitative change.

Like child attaching to mother, embodying the universe within.

You could preemptively deploy power, stored within the Six Tails, and release it instantly in a crucial battle, hence the Mother-and-Child Spirit.

For example, if Song Cheng activated "Five-tailed Fox Fire," he could first store the "Five-tailed Fox Fire" within the "Six Tails Mother-and-Child Spirit." When fighting an opponent, he could use his own Fox Fire in conjunction with the instantaneously released Fox Fire, as if two Song Chengs were attacking simultaneously.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the qualitative change in the Six Tails that Song Cheng’s power limit had significantly increased.

Previously, he was "1217~2224," but now it was "1217~2665."

But as he expected, Six Tails was the limit for the Mysterious Level Grade C.

To reach the "Mysterious Level Grade B," he could only explore slowly.

However, that "Saint Heavenly Buddha" and "Arhat" should know. And their power levels were very likely already at "Mysterious Level Grade B."

As he was pondering, Madam Tong called from the other side, "Husband, the medicine."

Song Cheng pulled himself out of his thoughts.

With a thought, his body covered in Grey Membrane, his soul hidden in the Extreme Joy World, his black hair turned white...

With a flick of his fingers, some white hair fell, resembling fluffy snowflakes, exuding a mysterious aura.

Madam Tong grabbed the medicine from her husband and continued making more.

Thanks to improved cultivation techniques and plentiful resources, as well as An Chenyu’s meticulous budgeting, many among those left were experts just a half-step into the Form Realm.

These experts were originally from the Martial Arts Hall or various family powers, many of whom stayed in the hope of gaining a chance.

They knew that based on their own capabilities, the very limit of their lives would likely just be barely entering the Form Realm.

But entering the Form Realm was useless.

Only by reaching the Qi Realm could they break the lifespan of a mortal, even merely entering the Qi Realm could extend life by a cycle of sixty years.

Who wouldn’t want to live a few more years?

Moreover, sixty years at that.

And "Once you reach the Form Realm, you can break through to the Qi Realm" was the pie in the sky painted by the astute Miss An for them.

The pie had led many of them to stay.

Madam Tong was also working "overtime" making medicines precisely for these people, and Song Cheng, the "Medicine Source," was in turn pulled to sit by his wife’s side.

Fortunately, this medicine required only a tiny bit per dose; even a single strand of hair could produce numerous portions, or else... Song Cheng might well have become "bald."

...

...

Deep winter had not yet passed...

On the battlefield in Feng State.

The army clashing, with iron armor and scales wrapped around flying snow, resembled giant serpents biting at each other.

Yan Banruo anxiously stood on a high platform, watching the distant battle where his son and three generals of the Yan Family lineage were leading troops in combat against the Six Towns.
