Chapter 839: Chapter 527: Treasure Mirror Assembled, Evil Yin Army! (Double-Length)

"Really..." Song Changming nodded and sat down, taking a sip of the hot tea Su Qingqing handed him.

Only half a month had passed in the outside world, but Song Changming himself had actually been in the Celestial Ruins Realm for several months.

The different passage of time made him feel like it had been a long time since he returned, although for Su Qingqing, his absence was not long at all.

"Master, would you like me to prepare a bath for you?" Su Qingqing asked.

She was a constant companion of Song Changming, whether in and out of the Military Department or at home, always staying by his side.

Thus, she could easily discern the traces of fatigue in Song Changming’s expression.

"That would be good," Song Changming said, soaking in a bath had always been a way for him to relax and ease his mind.

The journey to the Celestial Ruins Realm, coupled with an exploration of the Abyss, was enough to exhaust him.

This exhaustion accumulated from repeated battles and a consistently tense state of mind, requiring him to relax moderately, and home served that purpose, allowing him to ’recharge’.

Su Qingqing knew Song Changming’s lifestyle habits well, so she was proficient in preparing things.

In the past, Song Changming would soak in a wooden tub, but after moving into the Song Mansion in the Core District, he had his own large bath pool suitable for a bath with a high medicinal dose.

An ordinary Martial Artist might not be able to endure a fiercely potent bath, but Song Changming’s physique needed such intensity to achieve nourishing effects.

Once everything was ready, the entire bath room was enveloped in hazy steam.

"Thank you, Qingqing," Song Changming said as he entered the bath room, glancing at the prepared wine and several plates of medicinal fruit snacks by the pool.

"Master, let me help you undress," Su Qingqing said with a slight smile, her face slightly flushed.

Her delicate hands were about to reach for Song Changming’s waist robe, but he lifted her by the collar of her neckline and directly threw her out.

Su Qingqing looked back at the tightly closed bath room door, muttering a few words before leaving in frustration.

The large bath pool’s reddish-yellow water resembled volcanic lava, filled with immense medicinal power.

As Song Changming entered the water, the medicinal power found an outlet, flooding into his body through his pores without him needing to operate his cultivation technique.

Song Changming’s abundant Qi Blood was slowly ignited, gradually enlivened.

The comfortable feeling made him stretch lazily.

"I’ve really worked myself hard..."

Song Changming murmured to himself, picking up a jade pot beside him to pour himself a drink, and consumed it in one go.

With the Spirit Wine warming his gut, any internal injuries seemed to be ultimately healed at this moment.

Lying lazily in the medicinal bath, only now could he thoroughly relax, closing his eyes comfortably, allowing the medicinal power to exert its effects within him, disinclined to activate his cultivation technique during relaxation.

He always believed that only by maintaining a proper balance of relaxation could one attain longevity.

In a daze, he drifted into slumber.

In the evening, in the courtyard.

Su Qingqing specially prepared a large table of delectable Spiritual Food, all of Song Changming’s favorites.

"Even if the Master loves soaking in the bath, he shouldn’t fall asleep in there, unresponsive for half a day..." Su Qingqing spoke helplessly.

She worried about Song Changming encountering trouble, yet feared that entering abruptly might disrupt his cultivation.

In the end, she misunderstood all day long, only relieved by evening upon realizing he slept too deeply in the bathhouse.

"My fault, making Qingqing worry needlessly," Song Changming apologized sincerely, calming her gently.

"Indeed, it was pointless..." Su Qingqing expressed, slightly exasperated, thinking she wouldn’t be so troubled for anyone else.

At the table, A Da and A Er shared a knowing smile without speaking.

Su Qingqing always exuded confidence and decisiveness elsewhere, yet only in front of Song Changming did she show such a slightly resentful demeanor.

After dinner, Song Changming observed A Da and A Er’s cultivation in the courtyard, occasionally offering guidance.

Now, the martial talents of the two brothers were increasingly evident; A Da was clearly more exceptional than A Er.

If given the opportunity, A Da might advance further in the Martial Tao.

After a day of rest, Song Changming found his Tao Heart seemed even more stable.

The reasons mostly stemmed from his recent experiences.

Both the journey to the Celestial Ruins Realm and the Abyss exploration refined his Tao Heart tremendously.

Especially the presence of the Star-Devouring Dragon had shifted his mindset considerably.

What’s certain is, this ancient Star-Devouring Dragon would definitely impede his path to longevity.

Without eliminating it, he could not be at peace, nor achieve longevity!

Beside his pillow, Song Changming mulled over things, flipping his hand to reveal two Copper Mirror Fragments.

These fragments were acquired earlier from two Xuwei Demons within the Celestial Ruins.

Then, wiping his Heaven and Earth Ring, another twenty Copper Mirror Fragments floated before him.

Counting twenty-two fragments, they constantly slid and assembled into a complete Copper Mirror before his eyes.

The Copper Mirror was slightly larger than his palm, though it was covered in cracks, at least nothing was missing.

With this adventure to the Celestial Ruins, Song Changming successfully collected this treasure.

"Any fragment alone can have the ability to traverse two places, if this complete Copper Mirror is restored, what wondrous effect might it possess..."

Song Changming pondered secretly, feeling curious.

However, this Copper Mirror, as one of the relics in the Celestial Ruins, was almost impossible to repair.
