Chapter 2406 Tyrannical Songʼs Side Hustle

”How are you going to arrange it?” Song Shuhang asked.

Though he had been keeping a low profile recently to avoid drawing the attention of certain power players, this was the Spirit River Su Clanʼs annual meeting. Since there were no outsiders, a high-profile entrance wouldnʼt be out of place.

”Give me a moment to think about how to incorporate you into the opening sequence of the annual meeting,” Su Clanʼs Seven responded.

He had been pondering whether to construct a spiraling stage to elevate Song Shuhang during the last part of the Spirit River Su Clanʼs opening ceremony and lead him into the Wealth Throne segment.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt this approach was somewhat old-fashioned and lacked the desired impact.

Thus, regarding Tyrannical Songʼs entrance, he decided it was best to discuss it with the Spirit River Su Clanʼs annual meeting committee. More minds might generate a better idea.

Song Shuhang laughed. ”Iʼll cooperate with whatever plan you and the other seniors come up with.”

”Iʼll take you to a rest area first. Oh, and hereʼs a token for you,” Su Clanʼs Seven said, handing out two tokens to Song Shuhang and Soft Feather. ”Feel free to explore the Spirit River Su Clan. As long as the token shows the area is clear, you can go anywhere without hindrance. If it sends out a red alert, avoid that area. Those are typically where clan members are in seclusion, and itʼs best not to disturb them.”

”Donʼt worry, Senior Seven. Weʼll be careful to steer clear,” Soft Feather assured him.

In the cultivator world, it was well-known not to disturb areas where cultivators were in seclusion. The need for quiet was paramount—unlike Song Shuhang, who would have his primordial spirit wander while in seclusion.

Song Shuhang nodded while appreciating the convenience the token would provide for scouting the area.

...

Su Clanʼs Seven led Song Shuhang and Soft Feather to a pre-arranged rest area, specially designated for members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

He planned to meet up with his fellow group members before the annual meeting.

”You can rest here for now or explore the Spirit River Su Clan. Iʼll come find you later and introduce you to the culinary arts of the Su Clanʼs Immortal Chefs,” Su Clanʼs Seven said.

Being one of the main organizers of the annual meeting, he was too busy to stay.

”Go ahead with your tasks, Senior Seven,” Song Shuhang replied cheerfully.

They would be more relaxed exploring without Senior Su Clanʼs Seven around.

”Contact me if you need anything,” Su Clanʼs Seven said while waving to Song Shuhang before leaving confidently.

Song Shuhang was still a figure of trust for the seniors in certain respects.

...

After Su Clanʼs Seven departed, Song Shuhang, along with Soft Feather and all the pendants, began to explore the vast Spirit River Su Clan territory.

Lacking a guide, Song Shuhang randomly picked a direction and started walking.

The spiritual energy in the Spirit River Su Clan was abundant, likely due to the clanʼs spiritual veins.

About half an hour later, as they passed a small mountain, Song Shuhang and Soft Featherʼs waist tokens emitted red lights and vibrated slightly as a warning.

”There must be members of the Spirit River Su Clan in seclusion here. Letʼs go around,” Song Shuhang suggested.

Soft Feather nodded in agreement.

As they were about to leave, a puzzled voice came from a cave abode at the mountainʼs base.

”Eh?” It was a womanʼs voice, low and questioning.

Just a few steps away from the cave abode, the fairyʼs voice rang out again.

Then, she quickly transmitted a message to Soft Feather and Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang was puzzled.

”Could you two Fellow Daoists please come back for a moment?” the womanʼs voice was filled with hope.

Song Shuhang and Soft Feather exchanged glances and then returned to the edge of the cave abode, but they did not enter the caveʼs area to avoid any potential mishaps.

”Ah, thatʼs the feeling,” the womanʼs voice softened.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

”Fellow Daoists, would you mind staying here for a short while? Just about five minutes should do,” the womanʼs voice was hopeful.

Before Song Shuhang could respond, Fairy Creation suddenly appeared. ”Whatʼs happening?”

”I know this request is quite bold, and Iʼm aware it will take up your time... I can compensate you with spirit stones, though I donʼt have many left—just a small box with a little over thirty spirit stones of the Sixth and Seventh Stages,” the womanʼs voice sounded increasingly guilty as she felt her offer was insufficient.

”Do we just need to stand here?” Song Shuhang inquired.

”Five minutes?” Soft Feather asked while blinking.

”Yes, if thatʼs alright... I apologize for the scarcity of spirit stones. If itʼs too much, three minutes will suffice,” the womanʼs voice grew fainter.

”No problem, we can stay for five minutes,” Song Shuhang agreed.

”Senior Song, are you in need of spirit stones?” Soft Feather asked, curious.

”Well, itʼs always good for a man to have some spirit stones on hand,” Song Shuhang remarked.

”Then Iʼll stay here with you for a bit,” Soft Feather decided.

”Thank you, Fellow Daoists,” the woman exclaimed joyfully.

After speaking, she resumed her secluded cultivation and made the most of the opportunity.

Outside the cave.

”Pavilion Master Chu,” Song Shuhang reached out and lightly touched Pavilion Master Chuʼs hair. ”Why do you think the fairy in the cave wants Soft Feather and me to stay here?”

”Iʼd guess that the cultivation techniques you or Soft Feather practice are positively influencing her. Fire borrows the power of the wind, wood from the earth. Sometimes, cultivation techniques resonate with each other. Sheʼs likely at a bottleneck in her seclusion and could use your strength for a breakthrough,” Pavilion Master Chu speculated.

About four minutes later, the fairyʼs voice, filled with excitement, echoed from the cave. ”Thank you, Fellow Daoists. Please accept these spirit stones!” A small box flew out of the cave and gently landed in Song Shuhangʼs hands. ”I wish I could thank you in person, but Iʼm in a critical phase of my seclusion. Please understand.”

”Youʼre welcome,” Song Shuhang replied while opening the box to find ten Seventh Stage spirit stones and over twenty Sixth Stage ones.

The amount was perfect for him and Soft Feather to share equally.

”Earning a little extra like this is surprisingly easy,” Song Shuhang mused while holding the spirit stones, his eyes brimming with happiness.

He had never imagined earning spirit stones could be so effortless.

Interestingly, this was his first time earning a legitimate side income in spirit stones.
