Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 118 First-Level Summoning Order
Dongjiang has no airport; the neighboring Yunling has a small airport.

In summer, the roads are good and the cars are easy to drive; it only takes three hours to get to the airport. To build a closer relationship, Song Yunhe personally drove his cousin Song Yunkun to Yunling Airport.

"Gao Wu is truly a talent. Half a year ago, he was only a mid-level martial artist, but now his source energy is abundant and his strength is domineering, not much inferior to a high-level martial artist..."

Song Yunkun said to Song Yunhe, "Such a young man is indeed worthy of Mingyue."

"They're still young, it's too early to say anything now." Song Yunhe's impression of Gao Wu had greatly changed, but it was still too early to say that Song Mingyue and Gao Wu would be together.

The key issue is that Song Mingyue doesn't listen to him either. Gao Wu's strength has increased to the point where he's no worse than him, so he probably won't listen to him either.

Song Yunhe didn't want to talk about these things, so he changed the subject and asked, "Second Brother, isn't this plan a bit risky?"

The "King of the Youths of Northern State" business plan sounds promising. However, promoting it throughout the entire Northern State would be extremely expensive.

Intense competition can easily lead to accidents. The risks involved are considerable.

Both publicly and privately, Song Yunhe was still willing to support Gao Wu. However, in front of Song Yunkun, he naturally had to appear to be on Song Yunkun's side and speak from Song Yunkun's perspective.

"This plan is ambitious. I think Gao Wu not only wants to be the King of Youth in the Northern State, but also the King of Youth in the Alliance, and the King of Youth in the whole world."

Song Yunkun smiled and said, "Gao Wu has a very strong spiritual power, and his words are very infectious and charismatic, making people unconsciously admire and agree with him. I'm willing to give it a try with such a genius..."

That being said, Song Yunkun was certainly not going to be convinced by Gao Wu's few words. The main reason was that this bold and risky plan was feasible, and if it succeeded, the benefits would be enormous.

For a large company like Longteng, the annual cost of promotion and operation is over 10 billion yuan. If a plan costing 1 billion or 800 million yuan doesn't perform very well, that's not a big deal.

If he succeeds, his chances of advancing further will increase significantly. He's willing to take the risk!

Song Yunkun naturally wouldn't discuss these matters with Song Yunhe. They only talked about specific details of the cooperation along the way, including settling the promotional fees with Gao Wu as soon as possible, etc.

Upon arriving at the airport, Song Yunhe discovered that it was under security. Revealing his identity was of no use.

It was only after Song Yunkun intervened and negotiated that they allowed him to enter. Fortunately, the plane took off on time...

On the way back, Song Yunhe had a vague feeling that something was wrong. When did Yunling become so tense?

He couldn't help but call Song Chunqiu to ask about the situation. He had originally wanted to talk about what happened today and ask his father for his opinion.

After all, this is a big deal. If Song Yunkun can rise to power, he can also advance along with him.

Song Chunqiu simply said, "Stay put and mind your own business."

Then, the phone call ended.

Although Song Yunhe had been pampered since childhood and had never experienced hardship, which made him somewhat frivolous and dissolute, he wasn't stupid. He could sense the underlying meaning in his father's reprimand.

Back in Dongjiang, Song Yunhe thought about it for a long time, and that evening he called his daughter and Gao Wu out for dinner.

With no outsiders around, Song Yunhe felt much more relaxed. He pulled Gao Wu aside to discuss some business cooperation matters and said that he would transfer the promotion fee to Gao Wu the next day.

The promotional expenses are written in the contract, but the payment is settled every six months to a year as required. The reward terms also vary greatly.

Since he wanted to win over Gao Wu, Song Yunhe promised to do everything to the highest standards. After all, it was all company money, so giving it to Gao Wu would be a win-win situation.

Gao Wu was naturally very happy. What a kind and generous old man, Brother Song!

After getting down to business, Song Yunhe said, "I think something's not right about Yunling. You should definitely stay away from Yunling for the time being."

He paused for a moment and then said, "You should not leave Dongjiang during the summer vacation; that's the safest way."

"Thank you, Uncle, we understand." Seeing that Song Mingyue remained silent, Gao Wu had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.

Finally, Song Yunhe added, "This is a confidential matter, so you must not tell any outsiders."

"Yes, yes, we understand."

Gao Wu repeatedly agreed, and he watched Song Yunhe get into the car, waving goodbye until the car drove away.

Song Mingyue looked at him calmly: "He can't make the decision on the King of Youth plan, so you don't need to be so obsequious."

“It’s different, it’s different. Uncle Song is still very good to me.” Gao Wu chuckled.

Around 8 p.m., a small patch of the sun still hung over the mountaintop, casting a crimson glow across the sky.

A cool evening breeze swept away the daytime heat.

There were few vehicles and pedestrians on the long street, except for a group of teenagers who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, playing and jumping around. They were all wearing martial arts uniforms, probably students from some martial arts school.

Gao Wu was very familiar with this scene, and the shouting students actually made him feel comfortable and relaxed.

He said to Song Mingyue, "Let's take a walk."

The two arrived by driver, but Gao Wu didn't want to ride in the car anymore.

With such a beautiful sunset, he wanted to take a stroll with Song Mingyue.

Although the two lived together, they were either cultivating or busy with various things all day long, and occasionally drinking tea was a way for them to relax.

Song Mingyue nodded slightly. She and Gao Wu walked side by side eastward, following the faint shadows cast by the setting sun...

Neither of them spoke, but Gao Wu felt that walking side by side like this was more intimate, even more comfortable and at ease than the direct spiritual connection of spiritual resonance.

After walking for a while, Gao Wu saw a milk tea shop. He asked Song Mingyue for her opinion and went over to buy two cups of iced milk tea.

Song Mingyue hesitated for a moment while holding the milk tea, but still inserted the straw and took small sips.

"It's very sweet..." Gao Wu wanted the full sugar version. He needed calories anyway, so he could enjoy the high sugar and high oil content and the pleasure of satisfying his body's genetic instincts.

Song Mingyue nodded slightly: "This is my first time drinking it, and it tastes alright."

She rarely eats outside food, partly because it's unhygienic and partly because it's unsafe. Besides, she doesn't have any friends, and this is the first time someone has treated her to milk tea.

"Would you like to try mine?" Gao Wu said, offering his milk tea to Song Mingyue's lips.

Song Mingyue glanced at Gao Wu and frowned slightly: "Is this an obedience test?"

Good friends should share good things with each other!

Gao Wu felt he had been slandered. He casually picked up Song Mingyue's milk tea, took a sip, and said, "I'll set an example first."

He looked directly at Song Mingyue and asked, "I'm healthy, hygienic, and have fresh breath. You won't mind my period, will you?"

Song Mingyue looked at her own milk tea, then at the one Gao Wu handed her; she didn't really want to drink either of them.

She thought for a moment and then swapped with Gao Wu, took a sip and said, "It's very sweet."

"I wasn't lying to you, was I..." Gao Wu took a sip of Song Mingyue's milk tea. This green tea flavor was quite refreshing and not very sweet.

He couldn't help but ask, "You look troubled, why did you change it again?"

"I've thought about it, and neither of them are hygienic. I might as well try a new flavor," Song Mingyue replied earnestly.

"Hahahaha..." Gao Wu laughed loudly, patting Song Mingyue on the shoulder, "Good friend, you're so funny."

He then said with a satisfied look, "Today has been a really pleasant day!"

Although Song Mingyue felt that changing drinks was a minor flaw, and having dinner with her father and Song Yunkun was also quite boring, overall it was indeed a pleasant day.

She nodded in agreement.

Gao Wu couldn't help but ask, "Are we about to make a move?"

Despite the seemingly random question, Song Mingyue knew what Gao Wu was asking, though she wasn't entirely sure herself: "Right..."

Since the Hunters Guild has decided to investigate Wan Canglong, taking action is only a matter of time. She was also happy for Gao Wu, after all, Gao Wu had always felt that Wan Canglong was a great threat and always regarded this martial artist as a potential enemy... Now Gao Wu carries a sword wherever he goes, looking like he is on high alert.

Song Mingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Gao Wu had been under a lot of pressure. Now that the problem could finally be solved, Gao Wu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Gao Wu opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Song Mingyue shook her head slightly. She knew that Gao Wu wanted to kick someone when they were down. Battles involving martial arts masters were too dangerous. Taking such a huge risk just to vent one's anger was too irrational.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again and returned home to continue their cultivation as usual.

That night, the two resonated with each other spiritually, and the white snake and the green dragon danced together. Gao Wu and Song Mingyue both felt that this resonance was more harmonious and harmonious, with a wonderful rhythm.

Neither Song Mingyue nor Gao Wu knew the source of this subtle change.

Gao Wu didn't care about this; since it was a good thing, he didn't care.

Song Mingyue was quite serious. She pulled Gao Wu aside to discuss, "Why do you think there was a sudden change?"

"Did we switch milk teas?" Gao Wu said this, actually teasing Song Mingyue about her seriousness, but Song Mingyue nodded thoughtfully.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's try again tomorrow."

"Uh……"

Gao Wu felt the joke had gone a bit too far, but seeing Song Mingyue's serious expression, he didn't say anything more.

To be honest, he felt that changing the milk tea was just a formality; the real issue was the subtle intimacy between the two of them.

Song Mingyue is quite intelligent, but she is somewhat oblivious in this regard, or rather, she did not truly realize the subtle emotional changes involved in this matter.

The next day, Song Mingyue indeed dragged Gao Wu to buy milk tea, and then they drank it in turn.

But the change didn't happen as Song Mingyue had imagined. This disappointed her a little.

"Where did things go wrong?" Song Mingyue asked Gao Wu afterward.

Looking at Song Mingyue's pink lips, Gao Wu really wanted to say that a little kiss would do the trick. But then he thought that since they were only eighteen, such behavior was really inappropriate.

He suppressed the slight ripples in his heart with unwavering willpower.

Song Mingyue, however, had a strong spirit of exploration. In the evening, she took Gao Wu for a walk at dusk and changed the milk tea again.

She was trying her best to replicate yesterday's state, attempting to find a way to deepen the spiritual resonance.

Gao Wu initially found it quite fun, but Song Mingyue was meticulous and demanding in every aspect, which gave him a headache after a while.

The two cultivated together in a spiritual resonance that night. Song Mingyue found that all her efforts during the day had been ineffective, which puzzled her.

Gao Wu was a little scared. He said to Song Mingyue, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. I have a way to deepen the spiritual resonance."

Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu, her bright eyes full of questions. Her meaning was simple: If you had a solution, why didn't you say so earlier?

Gao Wu chuckled dryly, "I only thought of it suddenly."

He said to Song Mingyue, "Don't be nervous, it's actually very simple..."

As he spoke, Gao Wu gently grasped Song Mingyue's delicate hand. Song Mingyue was taken aback, not quite understanding the purpose of such a handshake.

What puzzled her even more was that Gao Wu didn't induce any spiritual resonance; he just held her hand like that.

As time passed, Song Mingyue suddenly felt a little nervous; her face felt hot and her heart was beating a little fast.

The quiet room is equipped with soundproofing materials and is very peaceful.

Song Mingyue knew that Gao Wu could see through even the slightest changes in her body, which made her even more nervous.

Gao Wu looked at Xiao Song, whose cheeks were flushed. The girl's clumsiness was so cute.

He found it both amusing and pitying. Her aloofness wasn't a disguise; she was simply trying to be strong and protect herself.

Because she was holding back so tightly, Song Mingyue couldn't let go emotionally. Even with spiritual resonance, her mind remained tense, or rather, defensive.

The spiritual resonance between two people also requires emotional resonance. Only through this layered connection can they achieve inner and outer harmony and enter a state of clarity and tranquility...

For some reason, Gao Wu thought of a novel he had read in his previous life, where both men and women had to cultivate without clothes to dissipate heat. If he were to actually make Xiao Song take off her clothes, she would probably die of nervousness before she even started cultivating...

Fortunately, this state is good enough!

Song Mingyue and Gao Wu, who were in a delicate emotional state, quickly reached a deeper level of spiritual resonance.

The Azure Dragon and the White Snake intertwined, and suddenly the White Snake shone with spiritual light, emitting a chilling aura.

Sensing the change, Gao Wu continuously empowered Song Mingyue with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

After a long while, Song Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes. A sharp white light flashed deep within her eyes, illuminating the dimly lit room with a sudden burst of light...

She said to Gao Wu with some surprise, "My mental power has broken through."

Although Gao Wu had expected this, he was still pleasantly surprised and somewhat envious. Xiao Song's cultivation aptitude was truly remarkable. It had only been a short time since her severe injury in March, yet her mental strength had already made another breakthrough!

"The main reason is that your spiritual power has endless vitality, which helped me solve the biggest problem," Song Mingyue said earnestly.

The visualization technique of the Frosty Heavenly Serpent is powerful, but its deathly cold aura is extremely harmful to one's spirit.

The stronger one's mental power, the more damaging the deathly chill will be. Even if she were to cultivate diligently on her own, she might not be able to break through to the second level even after ten years.

However, Gao Wu's spiritual power was just right to suppress the deathly coldness, and it also resonated with her spiritually.

The recent surge in Gao Wu's spiritual power, with its more concentrated and pure vitality, was a great stimulus to her.

Her intense martial arts training over the past two months has greatly benefited her. In addition, the effects of the Prajna potion she took, after two months of digestion, are now becoming apparent.

Yesterday, the two of them suddenly deepened their spiritual resonance, almost allowing her to achieve a breakthrough. Today, she found a way to deepen this spiritual resonance, and easily broke through the bottleneck to a higher level.

Ultimately, Gao Wu played a decisive role.

Song Mingyue's breakthrough in mental strength is a joyous occasion.

"Let's have a couple of drinks to celebrate!" Song Mingyue thought about Gao Wu's suggestion and didn't object; this was indeed something worth celebrating.

Fortunately, there was a dedicated chef, so preparing a few dishes was quite convenient. Since the chef had received a bonus of tens of thousands of yuan, Gao Wu didn't feel any guilt about using him…

The two drank a bottle of Golden Leaf Wine. Gao Wu's current physique meant he could drink as much as he wanted without getting drunk. The slight tipsiness was the most comfortable state for him.

Song Mingyue was far inferior to Gao Wu. After a few drinks, her cheeks flushed, and her bright eyes, especially, were hazy with intoxication, completely losing their usual aloofness and instead becoming more charming.

The wine didn't make him drunk, but Xiao Song's beautiful appearance made Gao Wu feel a little tipsy. He was just thinking about whether to make a joke to lighten the mood when his phone rang.

Gao Wu casually picked it up and glanced at it. It was a text message from the Hunter Guild: "All hunters in Dongjiang, bring your combat gear and assemble at the guild building immediately!"

The text message ended with the label "Level One Recruitment Order".

After reading the text message, Gao Wu felt a jolt of realization and immediately came to his senses.

Seeing that Gao Wu's expression was off, Song Mingyue picked up her phone and glanced at it, her expression changing slightly as well.

"A Level One Summoning Order is the highest-level summoning order; something's happened..."
