Actually, there's no fixed pattern for delivering a message in the Yin Yang Realm. It's just a saying people make up. You write down the target you want to assassinate and throw it at the drop-off point.
However, Chu Jingtang advises against using paper, as it's prone to getting damp and such. Who knows what the conditions are like in the Yin Yang Realm. It's better to use 'white silk'.
This 'white silk' refers to the white cloth they are currently wearing. It's also one of the primary materials used to make the Six Realms Universal Exchange Ticket.
Once the message content is written on the 'white silk', wrap a note of ten thousand units inside it, then toss it into the Yin Yang Realm and you can return home and wait for the assassin to contact you.
The deadline is said to be one month. If the assassin hasn't contacted you after a month, it means they're not accepting the job.
"A month? Isn't the waiting period too long?" Wu Jinliang muttered in dissatisfaction.
Chu Jingtang sighed, "There's nothing we can do. If we want someone to do something, we have to follow their protocol."
Shi Chun sympathized, "That person is not tolerated by the Yin and Yang two worlds, constantly hunted everywhere. It's understandable for them to take time to carefully observe."
Wu Jinliang asked, "Do you mean we're going to wait for a month before going to collect the batch of Death Refusing Incense? After a month, the stuff might not even be there."
"Others may need a month, but once I deliver the message, it might not be necessary," Shi Chun boasted and asked Chu Jingtang, "Do you know how often Yu Xuanbing visits the Yin Yang Realm to check messages?"
Chu Jingtang shook his head, "I really don't know. It's said that once he accepts a task, from receiving the message to executing the target, it's usually not too long. The longest it takes could be nearly a month, hence the saying of a month."
Shi Chun pondered and nodded slightly, "If that's really the case, then it's not a big issue. It shows that under normal circumstances, he checks messages quite frequently. The only concern is the unlikely case you mentioned happening over hundreds of years, then we truly don't know when he will see the message."
"Hehe." Wu Jinliang chuckled beside them, implying that he was preparing an excuse for failing to deliver the message.
Shi Chun glanced at him, naturally understanding that Wu Hehe's laugh held various meanings in different situations, and knew what his chuckle signified.
Irritated by the petty mind of the person, he removed the paper, pulled out a piece of white cloth, laid it out neatly, and wrote "Seeking Aid" on it with bold strokes. Then he wrote a small line at the bottom containing the address here to make it easy for the assassin to locate after delivering the message.
Wu Jinliang and Chu Jingtang, who were both watching with their heads stretched, were stunned, exchanging glances, as if asking, "Is this it?"
It seemed it really was. They didn't wait for Shi Chun to add any more content; they watched as he simply stopped writing, blew on the text on the white cloth, rolled it up, tucked it away, and stood up to address Chu Jingtang, "Let's go, lead the way to the Yin Yang Realm."
The two of them truly felt a bit dumbfounded this time. Wu Jinliang asked, "Is just those four words enough?"
He was skeptical, but he knew that no matter how this Master pretended, he wasn't someone who would act foolishly.
Shi Chun replied affirmatively, "If they're unwilling to accept the job, writing more won't help, so this should be sufficient."
"No..." Chu Jingtang also asked, "Master, are you sure those four words are enough?"
As he spoke, he gestured with both hands. Though a simple motion, it conveyed his intention clearly. This wouldn't work, there was no need to waste a trip.
If it were only Wu Jinliang by his side, Shi Chun might have explained, not due to closeness but because Wu Jinliang understood his details thoroughly. As for others, regardless of their closeness, given a chance, it wasn't harmful to reinforce his authority in the group.
It's all about acting when necessary.
So he acted mysteriously and said, "Just leave it like this, I have my own plans, lead the way."
All right, since he said it like that, what else could Chu Jingtang say? He could only lead them.
Leaving the house, they went straight out of the city, and once they were some distance from the city gates, the three of them boarded a Wind Scale, soaring into the depths of darkness.
Along the way, they used the occasional tower lights they could see on the ground as guides; otherwise, someone unfamiliar with the terrain might easily get lost in the darkness.
The so-called Yin Yang Realm wasn't far from Zuoyong City. Flying for less than a two-hour period, Chu Jingtang, piloting the Wind Scale, stopped and descended before a vast sea of fog connecting heaven and earth.
They landed on a cliff, shrouded in mist below and unknown in depth; ahead was an endless fog, stretching into the unknown.
The eerie stillness deep within the dark misty sea occasionally emits sounds reminiscent of the grinding of old hinges as large doors open and close, creating a chilling sensation.
Shi Chun had already activated his Right Eye Superpower to scrutinize the misty sea.
Overall, the Netherworld and other regions viewed through the Right Eye Superpower inherently differ; unlike other areas, the background color here is embellished with countless dense black fissures, resembling the roots of plants, yet indescribable.
The current phenomenon in the misty sea is even more bizarre; there is no such background color as seen in the outside world and the Netherworld, only innumerable sizes of pitch-black glows and white shadows akin to white light. Each black and white pairs revolve and swirl around each other, meandering everywhere, colliding with one another throughout the sea of mist.
When larger black and white glows collide with smaller ones, they merge together with the latter; perhaps 'devour' describes the action better.
Once enlarged to a certain extent, the black and white glow swirl as if into a vortex, resembling the mixing of yolk and egg white, merging in swirling motion seeming to be drawn into a chasm. This creates that chilling hinge-like, low "gu…" sound, penetrating deeply, mysteriously, and profoundly.
Observing the white and black glows, Shi Chun presumed they represented the Yin and Yang powers capable of annihilation here. The mode of the countless black and white glows—chaotic, unorganized, constantly birthing, merging, and dissipating—indeed made identifying a pattern difficult, at least from his observation.
This means all human monks and Netherworld Body Cultivators entering here would naturally find prevention impossible, never knowing when they might be abruptly strangled within.
Estimating his chances with the Right Eye Superpower, Shi Chun considered testing it, yet without any living being around him, testing was inconvenient; sending Wu Jinliang and Chu Jingtang was implausible, nor could he recklessly risk himself, so he chose to keep a safe distance for now.
He performed a mana check inside, discovering the mana waves lost their sensation once within the mist, swallowed by darkness, rendering the exploration totally ineffective.
"Master, Master…"
Seeing Shi Chun lost in thought staring at the misty sea, Chu Jingtang called out a few times. Wu Jinliang detected Shi Chun's Right Eye Superpower at work, swiftly gesturing to Chu Jingtang not to disturb him. Chu Jingtang was puzzled, glancing between Shi Chun and the misty sea, bewildered as to the spectacle.
Fortunately, Shi Chun snapped out of it upon hearing, acknowledging Chu Jingtang with a nod, noticing he had already taken out a Sandal Gold Illumination.
Chu Jingtang then pointed to a side, saying, "Not aligned correctly, the cliff over there has the highest spot; that's the actual location for the message drop. We need to move further towards there."
Shi Chun lifted his hand, signaling to lead the way.
They then moved approximately a mile along the road, where the landing spot was significantly higher than before, evoking the highest peak feeling; yet before them was a steep cliff, and the stone ground underfoot noticeably smoother, indicating frequent visitors here over the years.
Chu Jingtang relinquished the illuminating Flame Energy, directly pointing ahead, saying, "Straight ahead a hundred yards, reportedly lies a deep pit, a spot for message dropping. It is said Yu Xuanbing checks it occasionally, deftly controlling force to toss items accurately, achieving drop success."
A hundred yards away, Shi Chun utilized the Right Eye Superpower to survey the area, finding the superpower's terrain observation ability lacking, due to indistinct color contrast, akin to sight unrivaled by blindness. Hence, the terrain's specific features remained obscured.
Chu Jingtang subsequently retrieved a ten thousand Jinliang valued ticket to hand over.
Shi Chun immediately followed suit, fetching earlier written four-character content letter, accepting the offered ticket, placing it on a piece of cloth, and leaning down to pick up several stones from the ground, tossing them to test throwing sensation, observing impact inside for force and distance control.
While his companions eyes followed the stones being cast, Shi Chun discreetly pressed two objects—one dead butterfly and one dead beetle, both casually captured on the outside veldt—under the ticket within the letter.
Chu Jingtang understood the stone toss meaning, explaining, "As long as it's not a living creature, nothing thrown inside would be affected by any power, thus not altering throw distance, reportedly there's not even wind inside."
When the two again looked at Shi Chun, they saw him leisurely wrap the letter's cloth containing the ticket, eventually binding it tightly with a silk thread, then casting it into the depths of the mist through mana.
Once finished, Shi Chun stated, "It's done, let's return; now it's just the waiting game for news."
Wu and Chu exchanged puzzled glances; they initially considered Shi Chun joking, thinking such an act impossible for real; yet it genuinely occurred like this; is it true, simply writing those four words and sending it in suffices?
Despite racking mentally, they discerned no plausible impact from the four words to appeal to Yu Xuanbing; who are you, unrelated and unfamiliar, expecting something favorable upon request?
If this indeed attracts Yu Xuanbing, the intellectual gap between them and the Master would be vastly significant?
Wu Jinliang twisted his head repeatedly, perceiving an uneasy sensation on himself, crossed his hands into his sleeves with a reserved demeanor, drawing near Shi Chun asking, "Chun Tian, surely not kidding, just four words do the trick?"
For others he'd dismiss the disbelief, but since it's Shi Chun acting, uncertainty prevailed.
Chu Jingtang also gazed wide-eyed, filled with suspicious uncertainty, evidently posing the same question.
