2279 Nothing Else Matters, I Just Want to Know If It’s Edible
Senior Snow Wolf’s words felt like they’d taken a big bite out of Song Shuhang’s heart. He couldn’t help but think that if he ever faced a heart demon in the future, it would probably be related to his desire to become a great senior. It would most likely have a slightly bitter yet memorable taste.
As he pondered this, Song Shuhang suddenly found himself feeling a sense of anticipation.
The inner demon tribulation was a formidable obstacle that very few cultivators could avoid in their cultivation journey. No matter how unwavering one’s Dao heart was, there was always the possibility of mental demons interfering. He was unlikely to be an exception.

Their lunch break passed quickly while eating and chatting. Lunch consisted of practice dishes prepared by Chu Chu. These dishes were obtained through Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s ‘Abyss Eater’ using the coordinates stored in the ‘Sage-Sealed Wooden Saber.’ These practice dishes primarily used ingredients with very little spiritual energy and were not perfect as Chu Chu was still honing his culinary skills. They were not meant for sale to outsiders and were exclusively reserved for Song Shuhang.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue didn’t charge any fees for these practice dishes. In return, Song Shuhang had left some portions of the ‘Red-Braised Heavenly Tribulation’ and the ‘Sealed Third Stage Heavenly Tribulation’ as offerings, which effectively opened up a new avenue for Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s culinary exploration.
At the moment, she was deeply engrossed in studying the ‘Braised Heavenly Tribulation’ recipe. The more she delved into it, the more she appreciated the bold creativity of the senior who had created this recipe. Only a true Immortal Chef could grasp the profound insights behind this recipe and appreciate the genius of its creator.
Song Shuhang, not being a culinary expert, couldn’t fully comprehend this sentiment.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue was now considering the complete ‘Heavenly Tribulation’ recipe in Song Shuhang’s possession. For an Immortal Chef, it was second nature to examine the full picture while enjoying a single dish.
This was why Immortal Fairy Bie Xue was eager to fulfill Song Shuhang’s minor requests.

The afternoon classes soon began. On his way to the classroom, Song Shuhang’s divine sense detected a familiar face—Zhang Xiaofan, the skinny monster hunter. This time, he had followed proper procedures and enrolled as an auditing student at Jiangnan University Town. As an audit student, he could attend classes of his choosing without actually participating in them, making it convenient for him to investigate any traces of Xie Wang.
However, Song Shuhang hadn’t expected Zhang Xiaofan to randomly pick the same classroom where Profound Sage Tyrannical Song attended his afternoon classes.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but smile. It seemed like fate was at play.
He discreetly activated the ring given to him by Senior White Two to suppress the ‘Everyone in the World Knows You’ effect.
Upon spotting Zhang Xiaofan, Song Shuhang made an effort to avoid drawing his attention and entered the classroom quietly through the back door with his roommates, trying to keep things low-key.
Gao Moumou asked, “Do you have any plans for tonight, Shuhang?”
Just then, Yangde interjected, “It might be best for you to stay in the dorm and avoid going out. I just received news that a mysterious incident occurred in a neighborhood near Jiangnan University Town. Many residents’ windows and doors were smashed, and they all fell unconscious. The crime scene is quite close to the university town, and it might be related to some criminal gang. Stay cautious.”
Song Shuhang paused momentarily. It sounded like it was near Joseph’s neighborhood.
Today, Joseph would have settled his wife and daughter, so he would probably try to look for Song Shuhang tomorrow or the day after, right?
‘Oh, speaking of Xie Wang, how was Fairy Susu’s ‘Broken Dragon Xie Wang’ progressing?’
Song Shuhang took out his phone and checked his messages.
Around 1 p.m., Fairy Susu had messaged him. She had followed Song Shuhang’s method and used the ‘Golden Needle Dragon Sealing Array’ to handle the Evil Illusory Dragon Breaker. As expected, the Evil Illusory Dragon Breaker, which had been slowly growing, froze in place. It was no longer expanding or moving.
In fact, the frozen Broken Dragon Evil Wang had already begun to weaken slowly. The process, however, was gradual. Without intervention, it would likely take eight to ten years for this Broken Dragon Evil Wang to dissipate completely.
Fairy Susu was currently contemplating ways to contact Senior White and see if she could invite him as a guest to their common people sect.
At the same time, she had asked Song Shuhang for his address. She intended to send him a thank-you gift.
“Thanks, the more ordinary, the better,” Song Shuhang thought.
The compensation he had planned to offer to the Shadow Lord had already been spent. Now, he needed to find a way to make some money and settle his debts.
After some contemplation, Song Shuhang messaged Fairy Susu, “Fairy, is it convenient for you to receive a flying dagger message?”
“Daoist Shuhang, are you finally online? I can receive flying sword messages at any time. By the way, can you also provide me with your address?” Fairy Susu responded promptly.
“I just finished class and didn’t check my phone during class,” Song Shuhang explained with a smile.
Fairy Susu seemed puzzled. “???”
“I’ll send you a flying sword message with a treasure of great fortune to see if there’s a way to break that Broken Dragon Evil Illusion. I’m afraid that the treasure will wither and lose its effect if I’m too late,” Song Shuhang replied. At the same time, he sent the address of Medicine Master’s house.
Lady Onion’s green onion sprout had been accidentally cut off by him not long ago, so it was still fresh. This was the perfect time to send Fairy Susu a flying dagger message.
After agreeing on the coordinates, Song Shuhang shot the treasured saber Broken Tyrant toward Fairy Susu’s common people path.
Broken Tyrant had the imprint of Divine Weapon Mirror on it.
After the treasured saber Broken Tyrant arrived at its destination, Song Shuhang could use spatial teleportation to directly jump to the location of the common people path.
When the time came, he would bring the hamster along and see if the Broken Dragon Evil Illusion was delicious… No, it was to see if it was qualified to be chosen by Senior White Two.
