Song Wen: I heard that Veiled Moon Hall gathered a large quantity of Silver Horn Flowers a few years ago. I urgently need this material. Does Veiled Moon Hall still have any Silver Horn Flowers? If so, I hope you can help me obtain a dozen or so plants.
Silver Horn Flowers! This material is extremely rare. Why do you need so many? Qi Luo replied, her tone hesitant. Clearly, Veiled Moon Hall likely had some Silver Horn Flowers in storage, but obtaining them would not be easy.
Song Wen: I want to create several fifth-tier Earth Evasion Talismans as life-saving measures.
Qi Luo: You know how to create talismans?
I am quite skilled in talisman creation. However, I only recently acquired the method for creating fifth-tier Earth Evasion Talismans and haven't attempted it yet. I'm afraid I might fail, so I want to prepare extra spiritual materials, Song Wen explained.
In that case, I can help you. But after you successfully create the fifth-tier Earth Evasion Talismans, you must give me one, Qi Luo said.
Song Wen's lips curled into a faint smile as he read the message.
Qi Luo's request was not excessive; in fact, it could be considered quite reasonable.
The spiritual materials needed for talisman creation primarily consist of talisman paper and ink.
If all ten Silver Horn Flowers were used successfully, they would yield enough materials to create twenty Earth Evasion Talismans.
It seems my earlier display of affection wasn't entirely wasted, Song Wen thought to himself.
Song Wen sent a message back: [This is simple. Just ask, and I'll gladly offer it with both hands. However, besides the Silver Horn Flowers, I also need Jade Yin Stones. Could you please help me find those as well?]
He had learned from an intelligence shop that Veiled Moon Hall likely possessed a significant quantity of Silver Horn Flowers, so he decided to target Qi Luo.
As for the Jade Yin Stones, they were mined from a spirit mine under the jurisdiction of Bitter Zen Temple.
Since Qi Luo also wanted the Earth Evasion Talisman, he decided to play along, planning to use her to obtain both spiritual materials.
[Wait for my message. I'll ask Hong Zhe if he can get these spiritual objects.]
After receiving Qi Luo's message, Song Wen began to wait patiently.
It wasn't until the next day that he received another reply from Qi Luo.
[Ye Hua, I got the Silver Horn Flowers—thirteen in total. I begged Hong Zhe to retrieve them from Veiled Moon Hall's treasury. However, Veiled Moon Hall doesn't have any Jade Yin Stones. You'll have to find another way to get those.]
[I'm already satisfied with obtaining the Silver Horn Flowers so easily. I wouldn't dare ask for more. Qi Luo, I'm currently at the Rich Peace Inn. Could you please bring the Silver Horn Flowers here?] Song Wen asked.
Qi Luo replied, [I can't meet you right now. I was only able to get the Silver Horn Flowers so easily because Hong Zhe had just emerged from seclusion. But he wants me to attend to him tonight, so I don't have time to go out.]
[I thought I'd see you soon, but it seems my hopes were in vain.] Song Wen's voice was filled with regret and helplessness.
[Don't worry, Hong Zhe will soon enter seclusion again,] Qi Luo replied. [I'll come to see you then.]
[I'll be waiting,] Song Wen transmitted back. [Since we can't meet for now, try to find a way to get the Jade Yin Stone. I heard the Bitter Zen Temple has one. The temple is completely subservient to the Veiled Moon Hall, so if Hong Zhe intervenes, it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain.]
[Alright, I'll try. I can't talk any longer. Hong Zhe just sent a message ordering me to his cultivation cave immediately,] Qi Luo said.
Song Wen put away the jade slip, a strange feeling stirring within him.
He felt like Qi Luo's secret lover, using resources provided by her "legitimate husband," Hong Zhe.
Shaking his head to dispel these chaotic thoughts, Song Wen sat cross-legged on the low couch, closed his eyes, and began circulating his qi, patiently awaiting news from Qi Luo.
If she couldn't obtain the Jade Yin Stone, he would have to find a way to get it from Du'e.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Song Wen received a message from Qi Luo.
[Ye Hua, Hong Zhe has gone to the Qianchang Wilderness. We can meet now. Are you still at the Rich Peace Inn?]
[Did you manage to get the Jade Yin Stone?] Song Wen countered, avoiding a direct answer.
"I've got them—five in total," Qi Luo replied.
Song Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Five Jade Yin Stones were more than enough.
"Cloudveil City is crowded and full of prying eyes," Song Wen said. "It's best we don't meet there."
He didn't trust Qi Luo completely. Part of him worried she might have ulterior motives, while another part feared she might be secretly followed.
Although Cloudveil City appeared undefended, lacking high walls and allowing free entry and exit, such a large city inevitably possessed protective formations.
Once Cloudveil City's grand formation activated, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape.
But outside the city, even if Hong Zhe himself appeared, Song Wen could come and go as he pleased.
"Your concerns are reasonable," Qi Luo conceded. "Where should we meet, then?"
"Thirty thousand miles southwest of Cloudveil City lies a lake," Song Wen replied. "I'll wait for you on the small island at its center."
"Then let it be as you say," Qi Luo agreed.
Song Wen stored the jade slip, left the Rich Peace Inn, and soared southwest.
He soon arrived at the agreed-upon lake.
The lake wasn't large, only about a thousand miles wide, with dozens of small islands scattered across its surface.
Song Wen fully unleashed his divine sense, instantly scanning the entire lake.
The lake's Spiritual Qi was relatively thin, and no cultivators were practicing there.
Song Wen released the Shadow King Gu and three Shadow Gu to monitor the lake's surroundings. Then, he leaped onto one of the islands.
Moments later, a dark figure appeared above the lake.
The newcomer was completely cloaked in a black robe, concealing every trace of their presence. Even their gender was impossible to discern.
However, the robe could only block the divine sense of cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage or below, offering no protection against Song Wen's divine sense.
Confirming the figure was Qi Luo, Song Wen sent a telepathic message:
"Are you Qi Luo?"
"I am!" Qi Luo replied, turning her head to spot Song Wen hidden among the island's trees.
With a swift movement, she landed beside him in the forest.
"Qi Luo, it's really you! This is wonderful!" Song Wen exclaimed, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
"This place is too close to Cloudveil City. Cultivators often pass through. We should find a more secluded spot to catch up," Qi Luo suggested.
Song Wen nodded eagerly. "You're right. I was too excited to think clearly. Follow me. I have a temporary cultivation cave nearby."
With those words, Song Wen ventured deeper into the dense forest, glancing back every few steps as if anxious that Qi Luo wouldn't follow.
After traveling about a hundred zhang, they came to a deep pool, roughly ten zhang in diameter.
"This pool leads directly to the lakebed," Song Wen explained, "and the cultivation cave is located there."
He dove into the pool as he spoke.
The deeper they descended, the wider the pool became.
After plunging several dozen li, they finally reached the rocky bottom.
Song Wen entered a submerged cave, passed through an invisible barrier, and suddenly found himself in a vast, illuminated cavern.
The hundred-zhang-wide cave was lit by phosphorescent stones embedded in its domed ceiling, casting a brilliant white glow across the entire space.
Inside, simple furnishings were arranged: tables, chairs, and a stone bed—all recently set up by Song Wen.
"This is a temporary cultivation cave, rather crude," Song Wen said, "but I hope you won't mind."
As he spoke, he noticed that Qi Luo had shed her black robe, revealing her alluring face and her voluptuous figure clad only in a thin undergarment.
Qi Luo quickened her pace, eagerly lunging toward him.
