Cultivation Chat Group - Chapter 2281

2281 Meticulous Senior Yellow Mountain
“What are you up to?” Venerable Yellow Mountain asked.

Song Shuhang couldn’t help but sense a tinge of ‘suspicion’ in Senior Yellow Mountain’s response.

Why would Senior Yellow Mountain be suspicious of me?

It must be a misunderstanding.

After all, just a few months ago, Senior Yellow Mountain had given him a generous red envelope as a token of appreciation for his reliability.

“Here’s the deal, Senior Yellow Mountain. I plan to use these thirty accounts to create three separate groups,” Song Shuhang replied.

“Do you think I’ll block you?” Venerable Yellow Mountain retorted almost immediately.

Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded.

“Senior Yellow Mountain, you’ve got it all wrong. I’m creating these three groups for a legitimate purpose. I’m thinking that since I’ve already reached the Seventh Stage Realm, I want to handle some important matters involving people I care about in the mortal world. Apart from my parents and relatives, there are friends who matter to me. For instance, my three dormitory mates have rather poor cultivation aptitude… So, I want to create a group and bring them in and find a way to subtly introduce them to the world of cultivation,” Song Shuhang quickly explained. He intended to use his own experiences as a guide and provide his three roommates with an opportunity to connect with the world of cultivation. In the future, he could offer them a larger stage for growth. Of course, it all depended on his roommates’ efforts and dedication.

Venerable Yellow Mountain heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright… You’re still the same. You truly embody ‘loyalty and affection.’”

At least he wasn’t entirely hopeless. Venerable Yellow Mountain continued, “Furthermore, after you create these groups with your secondary accounts, what’s your plan? You can’t rely on controlling all these accounts and having conversations with yourself indefinitely, can you?”

“I’m thinking of getting a batch of substitute puppets to populate the groups. I also have a few helpers in my Inner World, such as the adorable lamia, Fairy Creation, and the lively Soft Feather with her ebony skin. My ghost spirit can pitch in as well,” Song Shuhang replied. He had many pendants that could lend a hand. Together, they could simulate a group chat with around thirty members. He’d also think of a way to attract more puppet accounts to increase the group’s activity.

Venerable Yellow Mountain said, “By the way, do you need water puppet substitutes for the group? I happen to have a batch here, and I can lend them to you temporarily. You just need to leave a trace of your consciousness in these water puppets, and they’ll act based on your thoughts. These substitute puppets were created by me when I was learning the craft. While they can’t be used in combat, they can handle some simple tasks.”

Song Shuhang expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Senior!”

Senior Yellow Mountain had always been a reliable senior in his heart. The Nine Provinces Number One Group couldn’t afford to lose Senior Yellow Mountain as he was the backbone of the group and one of the few sane voices.

Senior Yellow Mountain added, “However, I’m not lending you these ‘puppets’ for free.”

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the principle was that if you wanted to gain something, you needed to provide something in return.

“Senior, I’m currently short on funds… Could you extend me credit for now?” Song Shuhang chuckled and guiltily patted his empty pockets. The ‘One Charge Gold Strike’ and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet’s ‘God-Subduing White Day’ had left him penniless. He had an opportunity to acquire some spirit stones from Young Master Phoenix Slayer, but he had exhausted his funds on the Gold Digging Strike and missed out on the spirit stones.

Senior Yellow Mountain replied, “Didn’t Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire give you a considerable number of spirit stones some time ago? That should be sufficient, right?”

Song Shuhang sent a ‘wry smile’ emoji and explained, “I’ve spent all my funds. Did everyone forget that I was sealed in the Wielder of the Will’s small black room a few days ago and battled waves of formidable foes? I burned through all my spirit stones.”

Senior Yellow Mountain was speechless.

It did sound rather tragic.

“Don’t worry, I don’t need your money,” Senior Yellow Mountain reassured him. “Next month, in the middle of January next year, I plan to form a team and venture into the depths of the universe to challenge a ‘spirit transformation relic.’ Currently, I lack a strong defensive member, so I thought of you.”

Song Shuhang promised, “Not a problem, Senior Yellow Mountain. When the time comes, leave the monster-tanking duty to me.”

He had great confidence in the defense capabilities of his Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure, the Impregnable Holy City.

“Furthermore, your life-bound magical treasure is a combination of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ ‘Equipment.’ It’s extremely rare to get them all to birth artifact spirits. When the opportunity arises during our exploration, make sure to capitalize on it,” Senior Yellow Mountain advised.

Though he mentioned some compensation, Senior Yellow Mountain was essentially offering him a great fortuitous encounter.

Song Shuhang responded seriously, “I’ll make all the necessary preparations, Senior Yellow Mountain.”

“That’s good; you understand what I mean.” Senior Yellow Mountain concluded, “Give me your address, and I’ll have someone deliver them to you.”

Song Shuhang supplied his address, indicating, “I’m currently in Jiangnan University Town.”

“Why did you return to school? Well, you don’t have much time left here, considering your current cultivation level,” Senior Yellow Mountain pondered. “Indeed, you should cherish this time. One last reminder: When activating the puppet, it requires spirit stones. You can’t expect the puppet to operate on thin air, right?”

Song Shuhang couldn’t help but sigh.

He vowed that when he became powerful enough, he would research puppets that could function without requiring spirit stones and make them accessible to impoverished cultivators.

Senior Yellow Mountain added, “I’ve also sent you a document containing the chat account usernames and passwords.”

After a short while, Senior Yellow Mountain forwarded a document to Song Shuhang.

It contained nearly three hundred account credentials.
Among these three hundred accounts lay Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist’s tears.
