"It's you?"
Su Mu instinctively turned around when she heard the shout.
These days, there aren't many people who call him Mr. Su.
The person who arrived was none other than the carp spirit.
"Having heard that Mr. Su is short-handed, I have come uninvited. I hope Mr. Su will not be offended!"
The carp spirit was extremely reserved; it was different now, but it remained incredibly respectful when facing Su Mu.
Having more manpower is a good thing.
Su Mu was pleased to hear this, as his village was currently short-handed. "What Divine Ability do you possess?"
"The little demon has recently mastered a little Divine Ability, and can now conjure clouds and rain within a small area."
It wasn't particularly strong, but it had grasped some Divine Ability.
Su Mu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Wasn't it spiritual rain that descended?"
While cultivators may not be able to control clouds and rain, they can still perform Minor Spirit Rain Technique and Major Spirit Rain Technique.
Upon hearing this, the carp spirit felt deeply ashamed. "That requires a spiritual spring to perform, to unleash a large-scale spiritual rain. My Demon Cultivator is too low; it's simply impossible for me."
The larger the area covered by the spiritual rain, the higher the required cultivation level.
With its current strength, it cannot do that.
"If you have a spiritual spring, how wide a range of Spirit Rain Technique can you cast?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately asked, "It's supposed to be the other party's Divine Ability, so why does it seem a bit useless?"
After all, cultivators can now directly cast the Spirit Rain Technique!
Upon hearing this, the carp spirit lowered its head and thought for a moment before replying, "Covering several hundred acres at once shouldn't be a problem."
When she said this, the carp spirit looked a little cautious, as if afraid that Mr. Su would find it distasteful.
Su Mu's expression hardened upon hearing this. According to his understanding, the area covered by the Major Spirit Rain Technique at one time was only a little over one acre, roughly 700 square meters.
The hundreds of acres they mentioned are roughly tens of thousands of square meters!
Therefore, with the carp spirit, we can completely save the trouble of recruiting these cultivators in the future and just let the carp spirit control the clouds and rain!
Upon realizing this, Su Mu was overjoyed.
He does have a spiritual spring here, but one spring isn't enough to cover an area of hundreds of acres.
But with the Spirit Rain Technique, that's enough! This carp spirit must stay!
"It is indeed a Divine Ability. You may stay here from now on."
Su Mu said softly.
The carp spirit was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"
"That's the carp spirit. It received guidance from Mr. Su before, and now it probably wants to come back and comprehend the Dao a few more times, so it made up this excuse."
Beside him, Lin Hongbin quietly introduced the person in front of him to Di Xingchun.
Su Mu had only enlightened these few people. He had only met Su Mu when he was following the carp spirit, so he naturally recognized the carp spirit.
Di Xingchun listened from the side and nodded repeatedly.
He could sense a very different aura emanating from this carp spirit.
The Yao Qi emanating from the other party was quite different from that of Yu Shan and the others; it was rather eerie.
Upon realizing that the other party possessed such extraordinary abilities only after being enlightened by Su Mu, they were filled with longing.
He wondered if he himself had any chance of receiving guidance from Su Mu and breaking through this barrier.
Look at this carp spirit, and look at Lin Hongbin.
This Lin Hongbin is also quite extraordinary. In his opinion, there is really no one among his peers who can defeat him.
Upon closer reflection, he realized that he hadn't experienced any enlightenment while spending the past few days with Su Mu, which only deepened his anxiety.
I wonder if Mr. Su offered any guidance? He didn't grasp it.
Or perhaps, Mr. Su hasn't yet begun to enlighten him.
He was genuinely worried, not knowing the specifics of the situation.
"Don't worry, Mr. Su's tone was relatively calm towards you, which means he doesn't dislike you yet. You still have a chance."
Seeing that Di Xingchun seemed a little nervous, Lin Hongbin reassured him.
Di Xingchun thought about it and agreed. Mr. Su was still being friendly to him, which meant he still had a chance, so there was no need to worry.
Su Mu, having not overheard the conversation between Di Xingchun and the other person, went to the spirit spring alone.
Lingquan is located in a mountain stream, and the village was built around the stream.
When Su Mu entered, he felt a chill in the air.
This place is excellent. Daoist Jixu really knows how to pick a location. I've also heard there's a Spirit Stone mine here. We should take over this place as well.
Thinking of this, Su Mu did not rush to take over the Spirit Stone mine here.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out several pieces of calligraphy.
"Come here."
Su Mu summoned Lin Hongbin and his companion, and handed the calligraphy to them.
"Take this calligraphy and, three miles outside the village, draw its Righteous Qi into the earth."
Since there are Demon Race in the village, it's not appropriate to place this calligraphy directly inside the village. However, it can be placed somewhere outside the village.
Placing more calligraphy works here will release Righteous Qi that will naturally cause the surrounding Demon Race to instinctively avoid the area.
This way, the safety of the village can be guaranteed, but it will be extremely costly in terms of calligraphy.
After all, this is a consumable item, and its value will gradually decrease after it is released.
However, when placed outside the village, where there are no humans present, the Righteous Qi is like a rootless entity, and its consumption rate is several times that of when placed inside the village.
In addition, since the village needs to be enclosed within it, several more pieces of calligraphy are required, making the consumption even more terrifying.
A single piece of Su Mu's calligraphy is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stone; several pieces would amount to several tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.
It's being consumed every day, which is quite alarming.
Fortunately, Su Mu's calligraphy was extremely simple, so there was no need to worry about the damage to the calligraphy.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongbin and his companion quickly responded and hurriedly left with the calligraphy.
A moment later, several Righteous Qi rose up one after another, completely enveloping the village. Upon sensing this, Su Mu nodded in satisfaction.
That makes it much safer.
The rising Righteous Qi of righteousness is like a torch, causing Demon Beast to instinctively stay away from this place.
Just as Su Mu clapped his hands, preparing to go check out the Spirit Stone mine and then organize people to mine it.
Once we have enough Spirit Stone, we can activate the ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array again.
Just then, a sound transmission talisman flew over, flashed in front of Su Mu, and then landed.
Su Mu reached out and took it, listening intently to the contents of the transmission talisman.
"Hmm? The vassal states of the Great Liang are also preparing to expand their territory in the Savage Wilderness?"
Su Mu was stunned for a moment after hearing the contents of the transmission talisman.
These vassal states had been waiting to see the Great Liang make a fool of itself, but they never expected that the Great Liang would not only gain a foothold but also discover a number of valuable mineral veins.
This made them uneasy.
Not to mention, the Rogue Cultivator from their own country, upon hearing of this, began to leave one after another, which made them feel an even greater sense of crisis.
So now they've decided to carve out their own territory in this Savage Wilderness land and snatch food from the mouths of Demon Beast.
