Half of Huaxia's Dragon Vein have been resolved in the past few days. There's still more than half to go, and Su Mu plans to discuss that later.
After Su Mu leisurely returned to his residence by car, he went to the place where he used to practice his martial arts.
As Su Mu expected, the Spiritual Power that he had absorbed earlier had been fully restored.
It seems that he can now focus on his cultivation for a while.
Su Mu sat down cross-legged in the park, preparing to cultivate for a while. However, the next moment, Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, spread his hands, as if there was something in his palms.
"This"
Su Mu was somewhat shocked because he discovered that he could now freely utilize the Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi, as if he could manipulate it at will.
Is it because he revived the Dragon Vein that the revived Spiritual Qi has an affinity for him? Su Mu pondered this.
The feeling of freely manipulating Spiritual Qi was quite pleasant. After playing for a while, Su Mu finished his cultivation and returned to his rented room. When he opened his eyes after lying on the bed, he was already back in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
" Xiao Lian."
Su Mu pushed open the door and called out, but the next moment, Su Mu was startled.
What are you doing here?
Su Mu was almost startled when she saw Gu Yu in front of her.
"The Demon King hasn't gotten what he wants from you yet, so he's keeping me by your side these days."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu immediately spoke frankly.
Su Mu covered her forehead with one hand as she listened, "But I have no way to help the Demon King overcome this Heavenly Tribulation. If the ink painting is of any use to the Demon King, I wouldn't mind writing one for her."
No, you do!
Gu Yu's face was full of conviction. "That water ghost is the best proof, as is that catfish spirit."
Su Mu felt somewhat helpless. Those were just the guys' wild imaginations; how could he possibly know so much?
"It's alright, I know you can't say it, and I won't ask. If I misunderstand, I won't blame you."
Seeing Su Mu's anxious expression, Gu Yu offered a word of comfort.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately lost the will to talk to the other person.
Fine, let them follow if they want. He doesn't have the power to make them leave anyway.
"Is Your Highness free today? I would like to pay my respects to Your Highness."
Su Mu turned her head and asked Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side.
Xiao Wu was still writing her calligraphy when she heard this, and without even looking up, she said, "I do have time, but if I were you, I wouldn't go to see you."
"Why?" Su Mu asked.
"Because of what you wrote, you praised the demon king as the most beautiful woman in the world, and what about the princess? Aren't you clearly saying that the princess is inferior to the demon king?"
As Xiao Wu finished speaking, she looked up at Su Mu, her eyes filled with a hint of regret, as if lamenting that Su Mu was about to die young.
Su Mu was stunned. No way!
He just wanted to flatter the demon king so he could return safely and avoid being eaten by him; that was all he thought of.
Why did the eldest princess think of so much?
Since Xiao Wu had said so, Su Mu felt it was still very possible. Women, don't they all like to compare appearances? Even cultivators are probably the same.
Su Mu sighed inwardly.
What are you going to see the Princess for?
Gu Yu, standing to the side, became somewhat curious.
"I want to move out of the palace and open a small shop or something in the capital."
Su Mu replied that he was quite wealthy now and wanted to open a small shop, and was looking for ways to earn Spirit Stone.
Even now, he's still thinking about earning more Spirit Stone so he can bring some of the things here back with him.
In addition, he could take this opportunity to see if he could obtain any materials or methods for re-forming a body.
What do you need so many Spirit Stone for?
"In order to rebuild a physical body, being without one is terrifying; you can't even eat."
Su Mu didn't tell the truth; she just gave one of the reasons.
Gu Yu knew about Su Mu's past experiences, so she didn't doubt his words.
Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly, as if he believed what he was saying.
Unfortunately, the eldest princess still seems angry, so Su Mu decided to lay low for a while before making any further moves.
Anyway, there's no rush to open a shop. We can do some research first to see what kind of businesses are more profitable around here.
With that thought in mind, Su Mu immediately started chatting with Xiao Wu.
But as they chatted, Su Mu began to sense that something was amiss.
According to Xiao Wu, when it comes to making money, the Entertainment Bureau a type of entertainment venue) is one of the best, as it is said that there are many girls there who are also very talented.
They were making a fortune every day.
Another way to make money is through cryptocurrency mining.
Great Liang also has mines, the most famous of which is naturally the Spirit Stone vein. If one could get this job and secretly pocket some of the profits, one would be rolling in money.
However, this task clearly wasn't for Su Mu.
Alternatively, one could sell Law Treasure or similar items, which are geared towards cultivators. If one possesses some unique artifact-forging skills, they can certainly make money from these.
Or perhaps some kind of elixir.
If you don't have any of those, you could try opening a small shop and selling food to make a little money.
After chatting with Xiao Wu about these things, Su Mu suddenly felt that the idea of opening a shop to make money wasn't so great after all.
Instead, it would be more reliable to think of a way to go to the Qin River and see if you can catch a Koi, and then collect some money every day.
"Are there any illicit businesses? It seems like illicit businesses are the ones that make the most money."
Su Mu looked at Xiao Wu and asked another question.
"Yes, there is, but do you want to do it?"
Xiao Wu put down her pen and asked.
Su Mu shook her head. "No, I want to do it, specifically a business that cracks down on these illegitimate businesses."
Xiao Wu chuckled upon hearing this, "You'd need to have the ability to do that. Besides, if you did it, your life would probably be difficult afterwards. Although the Princess will protect you, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly."
Those profitable, gray-area activities—if anyone's doing them, there's bound to be connections behind them.
Otherwise, where would we find a place to work?
If Su Mu actually did it, he would definitely be resented. If he went too far, someone might even have to pay for Su Mu life.
Su Mu didn't actually intend to do it; he was just joking around.
However, it seems that without some skill, it's impossible to earn enough Spirit Stone right now.
One can't really write one piece of calligraphy after another.
So how do I make money next? Go fishing?
Fishing up Koi to sell?
On closer inspection, it's quite unreliable. Koi, and even if you can, there might not be that many.
The food vendors weren't reliable either. He had seen many delicacies, but after arriving here, Su Mu felt that the food in this world seemed to taste better. Although he hadn't tried them yet, Su Mu just had that feeling.
