Chapter 64 (continued)

When Shan Heyuan received the news, he couldn't understand it and said to Shen Duheng, "How can they all be buried alive together? Haven't there been cases of city-wide deaths before, where everyone eventually escaped?"

Shen Duheng said in a deep voice, "Because the cities that died before all had omens, people would arrange for the citizens to be moved out after they sensed that the city was about to die. This time, the two cities died without any warning; Heavenly Dao directly crushed them, so there was nothing we could do."

Shan Heyuan couldn't believe the news and murmured, "It's so painful."

Faced with such a massive disaster, neither of them could do anything.

After sitting at home for half the morning, Shan Heyuan said to Shen Duheng, "I'll go to the Growers' Association to see if there's anything I can do to help."

In the current situation, there is definitely a shortage of medical supplies. While farming is not medicine, it can help by producing good medicinal herbs.

Shen Duheng did not object, and instructed him, "I'll go outside to gather information. If anything happens, send me a message immediately, and I'll come over."

Shan Heyuan: "Okay!"

The two kissed and then went their separate ways.

When Shan Heyuan arrived at the Cultivation Association, many of his colleagues had already come over.

Everyone asked if there was anything they could do to help.

The guild leader didn't stand on ceremony and directly allocated a large number of spiritual herbs to each planter according to their abilities, asking them to help with planting.

Shan Heyuan was the most capable and received the most spiritual herbs, most of which were for healing and logistical support.

The deaths occurred in two cities, affecting many areas. Neighboring cities are also beginning to collapse, so for safety reasons, residents must be evacuated in advance.

For this reason, the amount of spiritual herbs needed is enormous, Shan Heyuan are busy from morning till night every day, and they are still struggling to keep up.

Everyone was happy to be of help, even though it kept them quite busy.

That day, Shen Duheng returned home and said to Shan Heyuan, "More and more people are coming from Haixi Province, which is not safe for us. Tell the Growers' Association that we'll be moving in a couple of days."

Shan Heyuan: "Where are we moving to?"

Shen Duheng: "Move to Bi Province, where the Azure Bird Palace is located."

Shan Heyuan had never been to Bi Province and rarely heard news from there. "Is Bi Province developed? What should we prepare?"

Shen Duheng: "It's fairly developed. There are many spirit beasts there, so we don't need to prepare anything special. We just need to prepare our daily necessities. I'll go prepare the necessities, and you prepare the planting supplies."

The two split up and went their separate ways to make their own purchases.

Because of the deaths in the city, things are in a lot of chaos now, and all kinds of spiritual items with Spiritual Qi have increased in price.

Even though Shan Heyuan was wealthy and powerful, he still felt extremely distressed after making all those purchases.

Seeing this, he simply concealed his identity and sold a batch of Spirit Plant grown in his Dantian Small World.

These Spirit Plant were all of relatively low grade, but because the market was vast, they sold very quickly. In just two days, he recouped two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

It's roughly equal to the amount of supplies purchased.

Just as they were about to flee, the Realm Spirit within their Dantian Small World awoke.

Shan Heyuan was startled; he never expected to wake up at this crucial moment this year.

Fortunately, they were at home when Realm Spirit.

Shan Heyuan immediately subdued the Realm Spirit with the restriction on its body and called for Shen Duheng.

Shan Heyuan was about to ask Shen Duheng to put Realm Spirit back to sleep, Realm Spirit cried out, "Just seal my Spirit Vein, I promise I won't do anything reckless. You don't need to keep me asleep forever."

Shan Heyuan looked at Realm Spirit's small face.

Realm Spirit tried hard to adjust her expression, making herself look exceptionally sincere. "Really, I know what's good for me. I promise I won't cause trouble. Please don't let me sleep anymore. Maybe I can still be of some help to you."

Shan Heyuan's judgment on combat was not very accurate. He paused for a moment and finally handed it over to Shen Duheng.

Realm Spirit glared at Shan Heyuan with exasperation, never expecting Shan Heyuan to be so useless.

Shan Heyuan looked back confidently. This was his partner; what was wrong with letting his partner make the decision?

After Shen Duheng entered the Dantian Small World.

Realm Spirit repeated what she had said to Shan Heyuan to Shen Duheng, then raised her hand and said, "I promise I won't cause any more trouble. I can swear an oath to you, please don't let me sleep anymore."

Shen Duheng pondered, "Making a vow to the devil could also circumvent the vow."

"Then what do you want?" Realm Spirit immediately shouted, "I can no longer make a contract with you; I have a master."

Shen Duheng looked at her. "Your master has been dead for many years."

Realm Spirit retorted anxiously, "So what? I still have a master. Even though she's gone, I can't betray her! We need to discuss things within the bounds of both sides, right?"

Shen Duheng thought for a moment and said, "I will draft the Inner Demon Oath. Besides the oath itself, you will teach Heyuan all the spatial knowledge you know."

Upon hearing this, Realm Spirit said, "Then you must let me see the contents of the oath before I make a decision."

Shen Duheng agreed.

Soon, Shen Duheng drafted a 1,385-word oath for Realm Spirit to swear.

Realm Spirit had never seen such a long oath in her entire life. When she took the paper, she was completely stunned. "Have I broken a heavenly law?"

Shen Duheng: "To minimize the chances of a loophole, there's no other way. Are you going to send it or not? If not, then forget it, you can just keep sleeping."

Realm Spirit: "Prosperity, prosperity, prosperity! Who said we wouldn't prosper? Let me recite it for a bit."

Realm Spirit, utterly speechless, picked up the long oath and began reciting it from memory.

For cultivators of their level, memorizing texts wasn't particularly difficult; it was just that having to make such a long oath was rather humiliating.

Realm Spirit seemed somewhat passive and unmotivated.

Shen Duheng never showed mercy to anyone other than Shan Heyuan.

He forced Realm Spirit to recite the oath fluently, and then watched her swear the oath before placing another restriction on her, suppressing her strength to the Core Formation stage.

The Realm Spirit no longer needs to remain in slumber.

She was in a good mood and even had time to sow discord. "No wonder Sect Master Shen hasn't been able to find a partner all these years, so that's his personality. Fellow Daoist Shan, how can you stand him? Is it because you're still dating someone?"

Shan Heyuan smiled and said, "He's a very good person. He's very responsible, has a good temper, and is very stable. He never gets angry for no reason. He's very handsome, has high cultivation, and is very good to his partner. Maybe others misunderstood him before, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance."

Realm Spirit retorted, "Fellow Daoist Shan, your eyesight must be terrible."

Shan Heyuan: "Nonsense, my eyesight is famously good."

Now that the Realm Spirit is no longer asleep, it can move freely within the Dantian Small World.

Shan Heyuan approached her about a collaboration. "Would you like to help me manage the Spirit Plant in my small world? I can pay you."

Realm Spirit scoffed, "With your mediocre skills, I wouldn't even look at you."

Shan Heyuan: "You can ask for anything you like, like space grass. I recently acquired a batch of space grass and was planning to plant it anyway. Would that be useful to you?"

Realm Spirit asked suspiciously, "Growing space grass isn't easy; it requires a space-type Spirit Root. Do you have a space-type Spirit Root?"

"I'm not very talented, but I happen to have a little bit," Shan Heyuan said with a smile, pointing to himself. "I have Chaos Spirit Root, so I have a little bit of Spirit Root. After developing my Dantian Small World, my spatial Spirit Root has developed a bit more."

Realm Spirit glanced at him enviously. "What incredible luck!"

Shan Heyuan: "I don't know either, maybe good people get good rewards?"

Realm Spirit snorted Qi Ingestion, "A person who kidnaps others?"

Although Realm Spirit was very Qi Ingestion, the allure of the space grass was too great. After some bargaining, she finally decided to help Shan Heyuan manage the spiritual grass in his Dantian Small World.
