“Fellow Daoist, this is...?”
He Xiuyuan looked at Songfeng Daoist with some surprise.
During this time, for the Expert's test, he hadn't had any other interaction with him, so why was he looking for him now?
Songfeng Daoist came before He Xiuyuan, first bowed, and then said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for this period.”
“I haven't done anything, Fellow Daoist is too kind.”
Seeing Songfeng Daoist being so polite, He Xiuyuan quickly bowed in return.
“But, Fellow Daoist, why did you come looking for me today? Your Spiritual Plant doesn't seem to have been sold yet, right?”
He Xiuyuan said, looking at the Spiritual Plant in his hand, and asked with some surprise.
Recently, he had seen him constantly selling Spiritual Plants, without a moment's rest.
It was just that he hadn't been able to sell them.
Such a diligent Songfeng Daoist suddenly coming to him now made He Xiuyuan feel surprised.
Songfeng Daoist hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then said, “According to the agreement between me and that Expert, if these Spiritual Plants haven't been sold by this time, then I must go find that Expert.”
“Perhaps, that Expert also knows that these Spiritual Plants are hard to sell, which is why he set a time limit.”
Songfeng Daoist didn't know why this time was set, he just guessed it in his heart.
He Xiuyuan immediately became spirited upon hearing this, “Then, could you introduce me so I can also meet this Expert?”
He Xiuyuan had already thought about this matter before.
For Songfeng Daoist to praise him so much and willingly accept this test, this Expert must be extraordinary.
However, Songfeng Daoist's face showed a hint of a strange expression when he heard this, then he quickly shook his head, “Fellow Daoist, it's not that I'm unwilling to introduce you, it's just that this Expert had already instructed me beforehand.”
“His test is only for me alone. If others don't have his permission, they cannot be brought to see him.”
He Xiuyuan felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.
Believing that Songfeng Daoist would not lie about this matter, He Xiuyuan did not want to make Songfeng Daoist difficult.
“That's a bit of a pity. I originally wanted to see what kind of Expert could be so highly praised by Fellow Daoist.”
He Xiuyuan sighed slightly upon hearing this, then said earnestly, “Since that's the case, then Fellow Daoist should go find that Expert. I will not follow you and make things difficult for you.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist.”
Seeing that He Xiuyuan was not going to follow, Songfeng Daoist also breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly responded, nodded at He Xiuyuan, and turned to walk out of Guo Yun County.
He Xiuyuan stood in place, watching him leave, “Is this Expert not in Guo Yun County? If so, how can he be so far away and still be sure that Songfeng Daoist isn't cheating?”
“If he can clearly know what Songfeng Daoist is doing from such a distance, this level of strength is truly impressive...”
He Xiuyuan thought of this in his heart and couldn't help but feel that this Expert's Dao cultivation must be extremely high.
Although He Xiuyuan had now learned the art of fortune-telling, this art of fortune-telling was greatly discounted when used on Cultivators, or when it involved some demons or people with Dao cultivation.
“I wonder if there will be a chance to meet him later.”
As he pondered this, He Xiuyuan's heart couldn't help but fill with anticipation.
.......
After bidding farewell to He Xiuyuan, Songfeng Daoist first used his remaining silver to buy roasted chicken and good wine, then left Guo Yun County and walked all the way into the mountains.
A moment later, Songfeng Daoist arrived at a mountain path and walked up along the small path.
Throughout the entire journey, Songfeng Daoist did not use any Spell, but honestly ascended the steps.
After walking for more than an hour, Songfeng Daoist saw a strangely shaped boulder on the mountainside ahead in the distance.
After seeing this boulder, Songfeng Daoist's expression relaxed slightly, then after tidying his clothes, he walked towards that boulder.
Upon arriving, Songfeng Daoist bowed slightly to the boulder and said, “This humble Daoist Songfeng, specifically comes to pay respects to Superior.”
As Songfeng Daoist's words fell, there was no sound around.
Songfeng Daoist seemed to be used to this and still waited, bowing and bending at the waist.
After a long while, seeing that there was still no movement around, Songfeng Daoist then continued to speak loudly.
“This humble Daoist Songfeng, specifically comes to pay respects to Superior!”
After his words fell, there was still no movement around.
Songfeng Daoist waited for a long time, then again called out softly, “This humble Daoist Songfeng, specifically comes to pay respects to Superior!”
After his words fell this time, a faint sound finally came from all around.
“I know, I know, you're so noisy!”
Accompanying the extremely displeased voice, a black wind blew, and a figure appeared directly on the boulder.
Looking at the figure that appeared, Songfeng Daoist's expression immediately relaxed, then he quickly set out the roasted chicken and good wine he had bought.
“Superior, these are good wine and good food that I bought myself, all earned with my own money, specifically to honor you!”
Songfeng Daoist said softly upon hearing this.
And the black shadow on the stone, hearing this, stretched out its furry paw, scratched its body, and said impatiently, “What? Do you want me, Superior, to thank you?”
The black shadow stared at Songfeng Daoist, saying ungraciously.
Songfeng Daoist quickly shook his head, indicating that it was not so.
The black shadow scoffed upon hearing this, then grabbed the roasted chicken and fine wine in front of him, and began to eat unceremoniously.
After a short while, the roasted chicken and fine wine were all in his stomach.
At this moment, the black shadow also let out a very satisfied burp, then waved his hand, preparing to leave.
Songfeng Daoist's expression changed in a panic, and he quickly called out to him.
“Superior, I have been working under you for a long time. Today, could you give me some guidance on Spells?”
The black shadow stopped upon hearing this, looked at him, then his gaze fell on the withered Spiritual Plant in his hand, a hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashed in his eyes, then quickly receded.
“You haven't even sold this Spiritual Plant, and you dare to ask me for guidance?”
Songfeng Daoist's expression tightened slightly upon hearing this, then he said helplessly, “It is this humble Daoist's incompetence, but this humble Daoist has been here for many years, I still hope Superior can give some guidance.”
“Please rest assured, Superior, as long as Superior gives some guidance, this humble Daoist will be content! I will definitely work harder in the future!”
The black shadow pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then after a long while, he nodded, “Alright, since you've said so, then I, Superior, will teach you a trick or two. You must Cultivate diligently.”
