Chapter 2748: Venerable Yellow Mountain, Is Your Shield Beefy Enough?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doudou stared with wide, bewildered eyes at Venerable Yellow Mountain.

Was stupid Yellow Mountain experiencing menopause? Otherwise, why had he suddenly become so irritable without any apparent reason?

Wait a minute…

Had he realized that I had secretly replaced his ‘quick-acting heart- saving pills’ with jelly beans of the same flavor? Doudou began to feel a bit guilty.

It was mainly because a few days ago, when stupid Yellow Mountain’s heart ached, he would chew a few quick-acting heart- saving pills,’ and the sound of the pills being chewed seemed to soothe his heart a bit… So, for the sake of his own stomach, Doudou had stealthily swapped Yellow Mountain’s ‘quick- acting heart- saving pills’ for jelly beans.

After all, if his heart was fine, why take any medicine?

As he pondered, he saw stupid Yellow Mountain deftly reach for the bottle of quick-acting heart- saving pills,’ pour out two pills, and prepare to pop them into his mouth.

‘Looks like it’s not my fault. Did someone in the ‘Nine Provinces Pill Group’ send a message that made stupid Yellow Mountain’s heart quiver again?’ Doudou secretly applauded the unknown group member. At the same time, he lunged toward Stupid Yellow Mountain and exclaimed, “Stupid, let me chew it, let me chew the pill. Just listen to the sound of me chewing. Medicine is always a bit poisonous; you really shouldn’t eat any right now.”

Venerable Yellow Mountain paused.

Doudou, was this for his sake?

Ever since he proposed dividing Doudou’s estate… and had started setting up a new cave abode for Doudou, it seemed as though Doudou had suddenly grown up and matured.

Indeed, children couldn’t always stay under their parents’ wings. They had to leave to truly grow.

Venerable Yellow Mountain felt a wave of relief.

“Slurp ß’ Doudou curled his tongue and licked the ‘pill’ from Venerable Yellow Mountain’s hand, followed by a crisp chewing sound.

Venerable Yellow Mountain closed the bottle and smiled as he patted Doudou’s head.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” he reassured.

Then, gritting his teeth, he opened a private chat with little friend Song

Shuhang, replying, “Let’s talk business!”

He couldn’t just play dead and not respond to Shuhang… Given the personalities of Shuhang, Thrice Reckless, and Copper Trigram, if he ignored their private messages, they would soon tag him in the group chat.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, even if it pained her heart, Mother Yellow Mountain still chose to engage with Tyrannical Song.

“That’s right, Senior Yellow Mountain. Didn’t you mention last time that we’d form a group in mid-January to invite Dao Lord Li to the ‘Spirit Transformation Ruins’ to search for a substance that could imbue a cultivator’s life-bound magical weapon with a faint consciousness or possibly allow a weak magical weapon’s consciousness a chance to evolve into an

‘Artifact Spirit’? It’s already mid-January… Why don’t we set it up today?” Song Shuhang replied.

Today was already January 17th; it was indeed mid-January.

No time like the present… Today, they would set up to challenge the ‘Spirit Transformation Ruins,’ then sweep through the dungeon in minutes to extract the substance that could upgrade the life-bound magical weapon!

After all, the world’s number one hammer, the Great Eastern Emperor, was waiting to start forging. He needed to get that mystical substance as soon as possible so that his ‘Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Weapon could ascend to a higher level before the Emperor began his work.

“Is that so? Can you make some time now?” Venerable Yellow Mountain asked.

Song Shuhang had that magical ‘eye drops’ in his possession, which also had the ability to give birth to a faint consciousness in a life-bound magical weapon, and he had quite a few of them… Previously, Shuhang had traded these ‘eye drops,’ one drop at a time, for a large number of treasures from the fellow daoists of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group.’ Those treasures were later distributed at the Spirit River Su Clan’s annual gathering via the ‘Wealth Throne.’

Venerable Yellow Mountain also took this opportunity to use the ‘eye drops’ to awaken a faint spiritual sense in his own life-bound sword.

The mystical substance in the Spirit Transformation Ruins had the capability to give a ‘faint Spiritual Sense i a certain chance of birthing an Artifact Spirit…

The combination of eye drops and mystical substances was, theoretically, a

perfect match.

Now, the only consideration was whether the ‘special characteristic’ in the ruins could overlap with Song Shuhangs ‘eye drops’.

“Yes, absolutely, no problem at all. I can set off anytime!” Song Shuhang declared.

Now, his Steel Incarnation had returned, and Song Four from the Netherworld Realm was also here.

He was back to those happy times when he had clones, able to be in three places at once.

Song Four managed the Netherworld Demon Sea, while he left his Steel Incarnation in the remnants of the small world to accompany the Great Eastern Emperor.

This way, his main body could set off and make an appointment with Senior Yellow Mountain to conquer the Spirit Transformation Ruins.

“Alright, hold on a moment. I’ll contact Dao Lord Li,” Senior Yellow Mountain replied.

After ending the private chat with Song Shuhang, Venerable Yellow Mountain took out a special ‘voice transmission jade talisman’ and started to contact Dao Monarch Li—Dao Monarch Li was a particularly cautious cultivator. Recently, many had been seeking him in secret, aiming to acquire that mystical substance from him, which had made him wary of even going online. Only a few close friends could reach him through a special ‘voice transmission jade talisman.’

The voice transmission quickly connected.

“Yo, Daoist Li, it’s Yellow Mountain,” Venerable Yellow Mountain announced his identity first, to prevent the cautious Dao Monarch Li from hanging up the talisman.

“Phew… it’s Yellow Mountain,” came the slightly sleepy response from Dao Monarch Li.

“It’s about mid-January now; shall we set a date to head to that ruin?” Venerable Yellow Mountain proposed.

“Have you found a suitable defensive daoist on your end? Can you vouch for his character?” Dao Lord Li asked.

“When I contacted you last time, didn’t 1 mention that 1 had already found a suitable defensive candidate? Rest assured, his character is absolutely trustworthy; I’ve watched him grow up,” Venerable Yellow Mountain responded with deep emotion.

“Is it a junior? Is his defense beefy enough?” Dao Lord Li expressed concern. “The traps and attacks in the Spirit Transformation Ruins are quite formidable, so it must be a cultivator specializing in defense of at least the Sixth Stage… only then will I have the confidence to delve into the depths of the ruins!”

“Guaranteed at least Eighth-Grade defense,” Senior Yellow Mountain replied calmly.

Little friend Song Shuhangs ‘Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Weapon was of Eighth-Grade quality. Once the ‘Impregnable Holy City’ was activated, it could even withstand Ninth-Stage attacks. And that was just Song Shuhang’s apparent defense level; in reality, even Mother Yellow Mountain couldn’t calculate how strong Song Shuhangs defense really was.

“Hiss, that settles it then,” Dao Lord Li exclaimed happily.

However, a moment later… “We’ve found a defensive-type daoist, but we’re still missing a highly meritorious monk,” Dao Lord Li said, sounding troubled. “Actually, I’ve been searching for such an accomplished monk for the past few days, but I haven’t found a reliable candidate yet..”
