Chapter 458: Chapter 416: Letter (February Cumulative Reward Bonus 4)

[To Yuebai:

These words are like meeting you, as I unfold the letter, I find comfort.

Now, I’ve arrived at Pingjiang Domain, thinking I’ve become completely indifferent, yet, unconsciously found myself at the old site of the Lu Family.

The old city is now a ruin, and today the Wang Family of Pingjiang Domain relies on the Kong Family, becoming the leader among the hundreds of families in Pingjiang Domain, and the new city’s scale far exceeds that of the former Lu Family.

When I arrived, it happened that a Wang Family woman was getting married, aligning with the Kong Family.

A procession stretched for miles, with music and grandeur, yet all I felt was desolation.

The old practices of cultivation families, till today, still do not please me.

I bought a copy of "Wangshu’s Diary", which is somewhat exaggerated, yet very interesting—it’s your style.

Next, I intend to visit Chaotian Domain, to taste the delicacies you mentioned in your diary, to see the beautiful bamboo sea you described, and to find the stall of yours, the master of Chaotian Palace’s South Market.

All is well, do not worry.

Respectfully, Nanzhi]

...

[To Anan:

Your letter has been received, knowing you are safe is enough.

Upon receiving your letter, I had just arrived at a workshop closest to Thunder Marsh, built newly by the Spirit Controlling Sect and still unnamed.

It’s said someone successfully caught a Thunder Beast in Thunder Marsh, causing a sensation, which led the Spirit Controlling Sect to invest in constructing the workshop and to send disciples to try capturing Thunder Beasts around Thunder Marsh.

Do you know who this person is?

Yun Shang!

Although I haven’t returned to the sect, just from the descriptions, I know it must be her. Only she has the skill to catch the Thunder Beast without a physical form.

I just received her letter, heard that Xie Jingshan is in trouble, she, Ge Yuchan, and He Wangchen are all very worried but can’t help. I guess Yun Shang must have cried anxiously at that time.

I plan to rest for two days in the workshop, repair my Puppet Avatar thoroughly before heading to Thunder Marsh to collect some Jian Palace Thunder.

Thunder Marsh is crowded now, it might cause some delays.

When you reach Chaotian Palace, if you hear about the deeds of a Shipwreck Wanderer in South Market, no need to doubt, that’s me.

By the way, I have an old friend in Chaotian Palace named Qin Liuniang.

She runs a grocery store in Chaotian Palace West City, avail yourself to see if she is well recently, or if she has a new Daoist Companion, she knows Chaotian Domain well, if you have any issues, you can inquire her, she’s a trustworthy person.

Also, I’ve been pondering over the differences between demon cultivation and daoist cultivation recently, and have some questions regarding demon cultivation to consult you about.

Attached at the end of this letter, I wish for a reply of guidance.

I’ll write till here, I’ve received many letters from others, need to reply them one by one.

Wishing you well!

Respectfully, Yuebai]

[To Jiang Yuebai:

I’ve returned to Kongfang City, although you likely wouldn’t worry if I’d be waylaid halfway.

But my mother said, one must not behave like a barbarian, must observe proper etiquette, hence writing you a letter to let you know.

We’re good brothers, don’t fuss over those letter formats, which I’ve never learned anyway; when I was a child, I’d fall asleep in the old scholar’s class from the Kong Family, I didn’t even know why.

Speaking of the Kong Family, recently a baby girl with unusual phenomena at birth was born in the Kong Family, said to be naturally blessed by the Literary Star.

What a pity, the Kong Family values males over females, who knows if this baby girl can make something of herself.

The houses, yards, sheds, and such you wanted, I’ve gotten craftsmen to make according to your ten-page requirement.

Once completed, I’ll have the Chamber of Commerce deliver them to Iron Feather Country, hope you, esteemed elder, won’t mind personally retrieving them once.

Forget it, you’re likely too busy, I’ll write another letter to Shen Huaxi, asking him to send demon clan members to you.

I realized upon returning that my father’s Nascent Soul stage suddenly showed signs of loosening, wanting to close the gate for Nascent Soul, hence called me back to assist.

He has Three Spiritual Roots ability, not easy to cultivate to this point, nearly got surpassed by me, his son.

Perhaps for dignity, he wants to rush to Nascent Soul, to assert his position as a father.

Recently I’ve begun to take over the affairs of the Mountain and Sea Building, seeing my father spending days with my mother, leaving matters of the building untouched, yet everything remains normal, I found odd.

Now taking over myself, I realize my father planned the next month’s affairs a month in advance, allowing himself time with my mother.

I’ve learned a lot of time management from my father; applying it to cultivation, surely I’ll surpass you, let you be proud for a few days first.

I’ll write till here, need to go check inventory into storage, be careful in the demon clan.

Xie Jingshan]

...

[To Junior Brother Jingshan:

Junior Brother, your letter I’ve received, spend more time with your parents at home, Anan and I both envy you’re parents being alive.

Seriously, cultivation is your own matter, don’t always think about comparing with me, you’ll never surpass.

You should compare with yourself; my rule has always been, as long as I am stronger today than I was yesterday, it’s good, comparing with oneself won’t bring loss, defeat, or evoke Heart Demon.

Since you’re busy, stay focused; once we go to the Upper Realm, afraid it’ll be hard to return, spend more time with your parents.

Also, about the Kong Family baby girl, when you’re free, keep an eye on her for me, she kind of reminds me of an old acquaintance.

That’s it.

Respectfully, Yuebai]

...

[To Huaxi:

Presumptuously writing this letter, please forgive the intrusion. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Since hastily parting on Wentian Island over three months ago, I haven’t properly thanked you for your assistance during the journey.

I have thin skin, not knowing how to express in person, can only write this letter first to avoid awkwardness upon meeting.

Firstly, I must apologize, earlier during the journey I was quite guarded against you, extremely distrusting, yet you bore no grudges, risked your life to help, making me feel deeply ashamed.

May past matters dissipate, and let’s sincerely be friends henceforth.

Currently, I am in Thunder Marsh, fearing delay may last a month, afterward will pass through Iron Feather Country, then turn to the demon clan to continue serving the Divine Tree.

Throughout the journey, I’ve been studying the Tian Nanxing Diary daily, which mentions some methods of demon cultivation, knowing you have quite a research in this, hence some questions audaciously to consult, hoping to discuss them leisurely when we meet.

Respectfully, Yuebai]
