Song Wen said, "Your president is quite mysterious. He only sends messages and never shows up in person. Does he deal with the Xing family like that?"

The old woman replied, "The president has taken action several times and severely wounded the Xing family."

Song Wen asked, "Since you are determined to take revenge on the Xing family, you could be considered one of us. Today, I'll let you go. However, I hope you won't reveal anything about our existence to others."

The old woman's face brightened, "Thank you, senior. Thank you, lady."

She stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly asked, "Excuse me, senior, would you be willing to join the 'Anti-Xing Society' and help us fight the Xing family?"

Song Wen casually said, "That's not necessary."

The old woman looked a bit disappointed, "I will take my leave then."

With that, the old woman flew out of the cave.

As she disappeared from view, Shan Yue asked, "Are you just letting her go like that? Aren't you worried she'll expose our whereabouts?"

Song Wen smiled faintly, "One should always be kind to others."

Shan Yue looked at Song Wen with a clear expression of doubt.

Be kind to others?

Since Shan Yue had known Song Wen, she had never seen him show any kindness to anyone.

Her suspicion wasn't without reason, as a Shadow Gu quietly followed the old woman out of the cave.

"Let's clean up the cave. We may stay here for a while," Song Wen said.

Shan Yue noticed a centipede about a foot long crawl out of a crevice, its movements full of fear.

"It's really time to clean up. There are too many poisonous insects here."

Five Shadow Gu moved swiftly, clearing all the hidden poisonous creatures in the cave in less than half a moment.

Shan Yue used water magic to clean the dust in the cave completely.

Then, she took out a stone bed, some lighting gems, tables, chairs, drinking vessels... and arranged everything in the cave.

In no time, the cave began to feel more like a living space.

Song Wen, however, showed no interest in what Shan Yue was doing. He went to the entrance of the cave and set up the Soul-Shadow Hidden Spirit Formation, then entered a hidden room and placed a Breath Concealment and Spirit Isolation Array to make the room his place for secluded cultivation and alchemy.

After finishing the arrangements, Shan Yue asked, "What should we do next? Are we going after Jing Feiyao? Use her to get the Saintly Spirit Pill?"

Song Wen shook his head, "There's no rush. Before we do that, I need to go into seclusion for several years."

Since advancing to the late Golden Core stage, he hadn't had time to properly cultivate and refine his power, which left his cultivation somewhat unstable and weak, something that would hinder future progress.

Furthermore, Song Wen had already gathered all the spiritual materials needed for refining the 'Blood Sea Seal'. He planned to first refine his personal magical treasure to strengthen his abilities before dealing with the Saintly Spirit Pill.

Shan Yue asked, "Should we go to Fang City first and buy some elixirs and spiritual materials? I don't have many materials left for cultivation."

Song Wen replied, "It's better if you don't go to Fang City. You might be recognized and cause unnecessary trouble. Just make a list of what you need, and I'll buy it for you."

"Alright!"

Not long after, Shan Yue handed Song Wen a jade slip.

Song Wen left two Shadow Gu behind and set off toward Fang City.

His trip had two main purposes: besides helping Shan Yue buy the items, he also wanted to see if he could find any elixirs or spiritual herbs that could improve the strength of his Shadow Gu.

After the Shadow Gu reached the third level, Song Wen had made numerous attempts to enhance their strength, but there was no obvious improvement.

Meanwhile, Song Wen's own cultivation had advanced rapidly.

At present, the Shadow Gu no longer offer much help to Song Wen in combat, aside from their scouting abilities.

During his time in the Beastmaster Sect, he did come across an elixir called 'Dragon Power Pill', which could enhance the strength of third-tier spiritual insects and beasts. Unfortunately, Song Wen didn't have the recipe for the Dragon Power Pill.

Secondly, Song Wen intended to use the old woman to get in touch with the 'Anti-Xing Society' behind her. Perhaps this group could provide some useful intelligence when planning to obtain the Saintly Spirit Pill.

Using the faint connection he had with the Shadow Gu, Song Wen was able to determine that after leaving the poison cave, the old woman was heading toward Fang City.

Following the location of the Shadow Gu, Song Wen finally arrived at a small mountain near the Dark Star Ghost Market.

The old woman was hiding in an underground cave in this mountain, where she was drawing formation arrays.

"She's actually a formation master. That might be the reason why the Xing family insisted on recruiting her," Song Wen thought to himself.

Song Wen contacted the Shadow Gu tracking the old woman and confirmed that after leaving the poison cave, she hadn't met with anyone.

Without disturbing the old woman, he disguised himself as a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core and made his way to Fang City, hundreds of miles away.

Upon arriving in Fang City, Song Wen first bought the items Shan Yue needed.

Next, he visited several stores selling alchemical formulas but couldn't find the recipe for a third-tier spiritual beast or insect.

After browsing most of the market, Song Wen had no luck.

By this time, it was getting late.

Song Wen decided to head to the Dark Star Ghost Market and wait for it to open.

After midnight, the Ghost Market opened, and Song Wen entered.

To his disappointment, he still didn't find anything that could enhance the Shadow Gu's strength.

However, the Shadow Gu tracking the old woman sent some news. It had followed her to the Ghost Market.

Song Wen quietly approached the Shadow Gu, retrieved it into his body, and then followed the old woman.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The old woman wandered through the streets of the market but did not meet with anyone or enter any shops. After a while, she left the Ghost Market.

Song Wen followed her out of the market.

Looking up, he saw the bright full moon hanging in the sky.

Today was the day the 'Anti-Xing Society' exchanged intelligence!

The old woman wandered through the forest, taking many twists and turns before returning to the hidden underground cave where she had been staying.

Suddenly, a figure flashed.

Before the old woman could activate her formation, Song Wen appeared in front of her.

"Senior, what are you doing here?" the old woman asked in surprise.

Song Wen's appearance had already returned to what the old woman had seen earlier.

"Did you just go to the Ghost Market to receive the latest intelligence from the Xing family?"

The old woman nodded.

"Show me the information," Song Wen said.

The old woman flipped her hand, and a jade slip appeared. She tossed it to Song Wen.

Song Wen used his spiritual sense to read the contents of the jade slip.

The information in the jade slip was detailed, much more so than the intelligence available for purchase in the Ghost Market. It was categorized into various sections: the Xing family's businesses, spiritual fields, mines, and personnel, with no details left out.

Moreover, the changes in these businesses and personnel were thoughtfully noted.

There was even information on the death of Xing Yixuan.

Song Wen couldn't be sure if this intelligence would be useful when planning to obtain the Saintly Spirit Pill, but he took the jade slip without hesitation.

He couldn't help but feel curious about the true identity of the 'President'. Who could this person be, capable of obtaining such detailed intelligence on the Xing family?

"Senior, are you here to kill me and eliminate any future troubles?" the old woman suddenly asked.
