"Oh? Tell me, what use could you be to me?"
"I can farm! I know the arts of an Agricultural Official!" Mountain Cat waved his hands, splitting two beams of golden light apart.
One beam of golden light shot into the sky. A sun seemed to rise amid the dark clouds, turning them white in the blink of an eye as sunlight shone down.
The other beam of golden light sank into the ground. Frost melted, and wisps of heat rose from the earth. Before long, a blade of grass actually sprouted.
While inside Di Hou's stomach pouch, Mountain Cat had frantically studied the Agricultural Official spells Zhao Xing had left in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.
After gaining the ability to take human form, he had studied under Chen Shijie, Xia Jing, and Long Xiao, so he already had a foundation in the Agricultural Official arts.
Studying the knowledge in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in such desperate circumstances had brought him into a state of sudden enlightenment. The spells he cast now were quite powerful, changing the weather for a hundred li around.
What surprised Di Hou was beneath his feet. This little cat had actually drawn earth qi from the earth veins. That was a fine talent indeed!
The Demon Race's Agricultural Official spells had all been learned from the Human Race. Since the Emperor Yu Era, some demons of the Spiritual Nature Faction had taken humans as their teachers and learned many Agricultural Official spells.
Yet after several eras, the Demon Race of the Desolate Territory Era had declined considerably. Almost none of their Agricultural Official spell traditions remained, and they had to learn from humans all over again.
There were quite a few complications, however. First, demons could not learn human spells directly.
