All the children were confined to their homes. Even when collecting things, only the men of the house were sent out. Women and children were not allowed to leave the house, including Ye Shuang and Li Shi.
Fortunately, thanks to Ye Shuang's spiritual energy, even though a lot of the crops were damaged, the potatoes they harvested were enough for them to get through the winter. It was just a pity that all the vegetables that were originally intended to cook for Li Shi were wasted.
While things weren't too chaotic yet, Li Mantian gathered up everything he could from the ground and hid it in his cellar.
Ye Shuang stood in the courtyard, gazing absently in the direction of the mountains. She had already investigated the water source containing dragon energy that she had brought back last time. It was a new dragon vein that was forming, and this dragon vein was slowly growing with the help of the spiritual energy left behind by the mountain god.
It can be said that this is the most vulnerable time for this dragon vein. It can only survive by relying on this mountain. If this mountain dies, then it will definitely not survive either.
Ye Shuang suddenly thought of the drought demon. As long as it came to the vicinity, it wouldn't even have to do anything; this mountain would surely perish!
That won't do. The appearance of this dragon vein indicates that the next wise ruler has already emerged and may have even begun to develop his own power. If this dragon vein dies, the future wise ruler will suffer a significant blow, and if he is even more unlucky, he might even die.
In that instant, Ye Shuang knew what these people were up to. They actually wanted to use the drought demon to force the dragon vein to its death, so that the dynasty could perish faster and a new emperor would not appear so quickly, giving them time to put their chosen person on the throne!
Ye Shuang sighed. She hadn't wanted to leave the mountain so soon, but these people were too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Their ideas were blatantly obvious. However, she had to admit that although it seemed like a simple method, it was the most effective and fastest way. If she were to seek this merit, she would probably do the same thing immediately.
Fortunately, after several months of recuperation, her meridians had almost fully recovered. That very night, Ye Shuang absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the Spirit Pearl into her body, and her cultivation level rose rapidly, eventually reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from becoming a Divine Transformation cultivator!
It wasn't that she was unwilling to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but rather that after rebuilding, while there would be no more tribulations in other realms, there would still be tribulations when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The power of these tribulations could probably wipe out this small village in an instant.
However, the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage was enough to deal with these people. Ye Shuang stood up from the bed, closed her eyes, and slowly compressed her spiritual power, restoring her cultivation while reverting to her original form and compressing it back into the shape of a child.
This is better; even if it only confuses the enemy for a moment, it will be enough for her to win!
Ye Shuang summoned another spirit disc meant for Mo Wu: 'Quickly find out the location of the drought demon.'
After finishing all that, Ye Shuang looked at Bai Xue, who was already the size of an adult. She had grown up too fast. But that was the benefit of the master-servant contract. The strength of the spirit beast would increase with the strength of its master. Now Bai Xue had the strength of a third-tier spirit beast, which was equivalent to the Golden Core stage of a cultivator.
At this stage, the spirit beast can freely control its size. At Ye Shuang's instruction, Bai Xue shrunk to the size of her thigh. If you didn't look closely, you would probably just think it was a dog.
