Talking to smart people is so easy; you say one sentence and they can guess the meaning almost perfectly.
"How much exactly do you know? Could you describe the black mist in detail?"
Chu Zhou's expression remained calm, but he spoke a little faster and his tone became more varied.
From this, it's clear that he's very interested in it.
It just so happens that Lin Qianqian also needs his clever brain to help analyze things.
So he recounted what he knew, but glossed over the matter of her soul. He attributed her ability to see the black dots to the uniqueness of her cultivation method.
However, Chu Zhou wasn't so easily fooled; Lin Qianqian was certain he had guessed something.
But Chu Zhou simply adjusted his glasses and didn't ask any further questions about the matter.
"The first and second tasks are progressing step by step. Now, where should we start with the third task?"
Lin Qianqian desperately needs someone to clarify her next steps.
Chu Zhou lived up to expectations, and after thinking for less than a minute, he gave his suggestion.
"First, we need to meet with those sea creatures again as soon as possible and find out their purpose in buying salt. I'm certain this purpose is very important. Second, we need to ask Priest Deergrass to inquire about the information regarding the Beast God's pollution disaster. We must gather more information to complete our mission, and ideally, we should be able to communicate directly with the Beast God. Third, we need to go to the sea creatures' settlement in the South China Sea. The problems there may be even bigger than we imagined."
When she spoke to Chu Zhou earlier, she didn't reveal her desire to communicate with the Beast God, but Chu Zhou made the same arrangement, so it seems they've thought of many things at the same time.
"Then let's not delay. The three of us will go find the Deer Priest now, while the rest of us guard the mall."
"Wait a minute, what should we do with this pile of Blue Holy Stones?" Luo Zexuan called out to Lin Qianqian, who was about to leave.
Lin Qianqian slapped her forehead: "Oh right, I almost forgot about these things."
Turning around, Lin Qianqian walked to the pile of sacred stones, concentrated her attention, circulated her cultivation technique, and adjusted her spiritual power.
Her current spiritual power contains immense vitality; with this power, she can easily dispel many negative forces and restore her life force.
If spiritual power contains divinity, then this power is a higher-dimensional divine power.
That is the realm of gods, where life and death, reincarnation, are but a thought away.
At the same time, Lin Qianqian sank her consciousness into the soul within her sea of consciousness, and the soul reached out and slightly lifted a corner of the soft silk gauze.
Divinity, bound beneath a transparent veil, seeps out through this corner.
Lin Qianqian controlled this wisp of divinity, letting it drift to her right hand. Just as a ball of light green spiritual energy appeared in Lin Qianqian's right hand, the wisp of divinity also arrived in her palm.
Lin Qianqian controlled this wisp of divinity and merged it into the ball of spiritual energy. Instantly, golden patterns flashed within the light green ball of spiritual energy, emitting a faint halo—this was divine power.
Lin Qianqian flung the ball of divine power onto the pile of holy stones. Wisps of black smoke rose from the dazzling, gem-like blue holy stones, accompanied by a foul stench.
In Lin Qianqian's eyes, when the ball of spiritual energy touched the Blue Sacred Stone, the black spots on the surface of the sacred stone melted and evaporated instantly, just like wax meeting a high temperature fire.
The stain has been removed! She really can remove stains!
At that moment, no one else heard it, only Lin Qianqian heard the invisible screams.
The black spots, which were originally invisible to everyone except Lin Qianqian, were no longer invisible and colorless after being purified; instead, they turned into visible black smoke.
However, after they turned into black smoke, they did not completely dissipate or disappear. Instead, they gathered in mid-air, struggling to find a living organism to parasitize again.
Just as Lin Qianqian was about to throw another ball of spiritual energy to make them disappear completely, Yun Ze made his move.
As it turned out, Yunze looked at the lingering black smoke and, although he couldn't hear anything, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Yunze reached out and clenched his fist. The black smoke was gathered into a ball by an invisible force and floated in mid-air.
Yunze turned his head and asked, "This black smoke is wrong. Do you know what the problem is?"
Lin Qianqian frowned and said uncertainly, "They seem to be alive."
These words sent a chill down everyone's spines.
Only Chu Zhou's eyes lit up. He quickly took out a glass bottle, stuck two talismans on the bottle, and then eagerly held the bottle up in front of Yun Ze.
Although he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of urging.
"Put it here, I need to study it!"
These words are so vivid they're almost blinding.
Yunze sighed softly, said nothing, and took the bottle from Chuzhou.
He sometimes feels like he's raising a son, and a brat at that.
Open the bottle cap, point the bottle opening at the black smoke with your left hand, and point forward with two fingers of your right hand. The black smoke will automatically drift into the bottle.
After putting the cap on, I wanted to hand the bottle to Chu Zhou, who was eagerly waiting.
Seeing that he had gotten what he wanted, Chu Zhou's eyes lit up with joy, and he reached out to take the bottle.
But Yunze's hand, which was handing over the bottle, paused halfway, then turned a corner and withdrew.
He held the bottle and thought for two seconds.
The hand that wasn't holding the bottle made a few gestures in the air. First, a small sword made of spiritual energy materialized out of thin air, and then several runes made of silver light appeared in the void.
Finally, all the small swords and runes rushed towards the bottle, disappearing after hitting the bottle's body and mouth.
After doing all this, Yunze handed the bottle to Chuzhou and instructed him, "This thing is a bit dangerous. You can only study it if I'm here. Otherwise, if you open the bottle cap on your own, the black smoke inside will be instantly annihilated by my sword energy."
Chu Zhou's hand, which was about to take the bottle, paused in mid-air for several seconds before he finally decided to accept it.
"When are you free? I'd like to start researching right away."
"Qianqian and I are going to see the Deer Priest. We should be free when we get back."
"All right!"
The blue holy stones on the ground, also known as water spirit stones, became even more lustrous and translucent.
"Lin Lanlan, come here and put these spirit stones away."
Lin Lanlan, who had been standing quietly at the checkout counter, watching things unfold without saying a word, heard Lin Qianqian call her name.
It grabbed a storage bag and flew over, flapping its little wings.
She snapped her fingers, and the pile of water-type spirit stones on the ground was collected.
With the matter resolved, Lin Qianqian and Yunze went out to find the Deer Priest.
The mall is not far from the house where the Deer Priest lives. That's right, the Deer Priest is the priest of the original Cui Cui tribe, now Cui Shi City.
Of course, they were among the first to move into houses.
His house was a bamboo hut, not far from the shopping mall, which is also the central square.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze did not fly on their swords, but instead held hands and walked slowly over.
There were many orcs along the way; some were leveling the road, some were building houses, and some were polishing tools.
The cross-shaped main road centered on the square has already taken basic shape.
The two walked on the gravel road. All the beastmen who saw Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze along the way would stop what they were doing and greet the divine messenger who had come to save them, and Lin Qianqian would nod in response.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Their respect for Lin Qianqian and the other divine messengers was genuine.
Because of the arrival of the divine messengers, no beasts in the tribes near Emerald Valley starved or froze to death during the last cold season.
During the Beast Days after the cold season, the divine messengers taught them many things.
Their lives as orcs are getting better every day!
