A private car took him there, and before dawn, Su Mu arrived at the Qinling Mountains Mountain.
"Should we wait until dawn before going up?"
The driver who brought Su Mu over leaned out and asked.
Su Mu shook her head. "No need, you can go back now. I'm somewhat familiar with the rest of the way."
After saying that, Su Mu disappeared into the morning mist.
More than half an hour later, Su Mu swiftly traversed the mountain path and arrived at the Dragon Vein. As soon as he arrived, a golden aura surged for a moment, and a miniature dragon pounced towards Su Mu Su Mu, full of affection for him.
"Alright, alright, go back and sit down. I brought you some good stuff to help you recover."
Su Mu was soaked from the Spirit of the Dragon Vein's affection and quickly waved his hand, saying...
As if understanding Su Mu's meaning, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein flew back quickly, looking at Su Mu expectantly.
Su Mu jumped up, surveyed the large area in front of him, and after a moment found a slightly sunken spot. He took out the medium-sized spiritual spring he had obtained from the High Antiquity ruins and placed it there.
The moment the spirit spring was set up, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein sensed something. Its golden aura began to surge, and then with a whoosh, it pounced into the spirit spring and began to play freely, absorbing streams of pure Spiritual Power into its body.
The dragon's body, which had initially appeared extremely ethereal, began to gradually solidify at this moment.
Su Mu glanced at it and then ignored it, casually taking out the Tree of Pure Spirit from his Storage Ring.
"This thing can absorb the Qi of the Five Turbidities. Could you collect the exhaust fumes and pollutants from Huaxia, let this thing absorb them, and then filter them?"
After planting the ancient Tree of Pure Spirit, Su Mu asked the Spirit of the Dragon Vein, who was still bathing in the spiritual spring, a question.
The Spirit of the Dragon Vein was enjoying its soak. If it had been someone else asking the question, it probably wouldn't have bothered to answer. However, seeing that it was Su Mu was speaking, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein immediately flew over.
It first flew around Su Mu once, then began to shuttle around the Tree of Pure Spirit, seemingly sensing something.
A moment later, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein stopped, its small head nodding at Su Mu, then stretching out its claws towards the direction of the spirit spring.
"You mean it's possible, but it requires Spiritual Power to power it?"
Su Mu immediately understood the meaning of the Spirit of the Dragon Vein and directly expressed his guess.
The Spirit of the Dragon Vein immediately nodded to the dragon's head, indicating that this was the meaning.
"I just don't know if this thing can absorb or filter those gases. Why don't you try it later?"
Seeing this, Su Mu hesitated, wondering if the Tree of Pure Spirit was still useful.
To Su Mu's surprise, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein beside him immediately began gesturing at Su Mu, while also wandering around the ancient trees, appearing to be extremely fond of them.
"You mean this tree can do that, and you really like this tree?"
Seeing the Spirit of the Dragon Vein making gestures, Su Mu could guess what the Spirit of the Dragon Vein meant.
It's likely that the Spirit of the Dragon Vein just inspected the tree and confirmed that it was indeed suitable. The Spirit of the Dragon Vein governs mountains, trees, and other such things, so it's normal that it could understand the tree's effects now that this Tree of Pure Spirit is planted here.
In that case, it's understandable why the Spirit of the Dragon Vein is so fond of this Tree of Pure Spirit.
The entire land of Huaxia is its territory. It's no wonder it's unhappy that its own territory has been turned into such a mess. Now that it has this thing that can purify the air of its territory, it's only natural that it likes it.
"Alright, since it's possible, I'll leave this to you. Besides using this spiritual spring for cultivation, you can also use it."
As Su Mu spoke, he walked to the spiritual spring and began to cultivate.
The Spirit of the Dragon Vein also plunged into the spiritual spring, constantly replenishing and strengthening itself while quietly improving the surrounding landscape.
First, we'll turn the flowing spiritual spring into a small lake. Then, we'll make room for these few Tree of Pure Spirit and create an open space for a stone table for Su Mu.
"Have you heard? The spokesperson is holding a press conference at nine o'clock today, presumably to explain what happened with that huge beam of light last night."
"Nine o'clock? Is there a live broadcast? Which channel? Let's watch it together!"
"There will be a live stream. It seems this incident is quite serious, so there will be a live stream, which will be broadcast on some live streaming platforms."
The people of Huaxia probably never imagined that they would be so interested in a press conference, and that they would be glued to the live stream platform before nine o'clock.
They were all very curious about what had happened last night.
Soon, the time ticked to 8:50, and the press conference was about to begin.
The reporters were already seated in the venue, which was packed with people, and there were various cameras and other equipment ready to broadcast live.
Soon, at nine o'clock, the spokesperson strode in, glanced around the room, and then, thinking about what he was about to say, his cheek twitched slightly.
"Excuse me, what was that huge beam of light in Huaxia last night? Was it the reason for the large-scale power outages in several provinces?"
"Is this beam of light some kind of weapon being tested by Huaxia?"
"Is there any radiation hazard from this beam of light? What secret research is Huaxia conducting?"
The reporters had been waiting for a long time, and when the spokesperson finally arrived, they immediately pressed him for answers.
Upon hearing this, the spokesperson gestured with his hand.
The reporters immediately fell silent upon seeing this, and the spokesperson nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems everyone is concerned about that beam of light last night, so let me explain it here."
"That beam of light is not a secret weapon, nor does it pose any danger. It was simply developed in consideration of the possibility of encountering graphite-type bombs that could destroy Huaxia's power infrastructure. Therefore, a super-large lighting device was specially designed to provide illumination for the entire Huaxia even at night."
The spokesperson had a square face, spoke with an air of righteousness, and also seemed to have an air of "I would never lie."
However, under the current circumstances, hearing what the other party said, everyone felt a sense of absurdity.
When did you learn to lie so seriously?
Huge lighting equipment?! How could you even say that?!
Viewers watching the live stream on their screens were absolutely in stitches. When did this spokesperson start spouting such nonsense with such a straight face?!
Leaving aside the reporters, even they wouldn't believe it if they heard it, but listening to the other side's nonsense is kind of funny!
The reporters managed a forced smile, eager to press for more questions.
Just then, a voice came through their earpieces, and the reporters' expressions changed upon hearing what was being said.
At that moment, the spokesperson above also received a message, and their smile froze, "Are you kidding me?"
At this moment, layers of dark clouds in the sky above Huaxia surged in all directions like ocean waves, enveloping the entire Huaxia!
The previous chapter and chapter sixty-seven both had two or three hundred words deleted, so some parts might look strange. It seems that they involved sensitive words, which caused entire sentences to be deleted.
In the future, I will try to write in a more subtle way, without mentioning specific names or positions. You'll understand.
