Outside the temple, the shimmering lake reflected the glow of the sunset.
Yu Luo reappeared by the lake, gently swinging her legs, a few small lotus bells hanging from the gold chain swaying lightly on her ankles.
She held a simple green bamboo pole in her hand, with a few emerald green bamboo leaves still attached to the joints.
This time, she didn't use a hook; she simply cast a golden, magical silk thread onto it, and fish automatically took the bait. The thread shimmered in the sunlight, like flowing liquid gold.
A koi carp was caught, its scales shimmering with a golden-red light in the sunlight.
It blew a crystal bubble, floated quietly beside the deity, rolled over like a cat, and looked utterly content.
The fish's tail occasionally slapped the water's surface, and the splashing water droplets formed tiny rainbows in the sunlight.
Before long, she caught a bunch of fish that were willing to bite the line. Some of them had a pair of pure white bird wings, white heads and red beaks, and looked exceptionally beautiful.
The fish's wings are covered with fine patterns, and they splash water as they thrash about.
The system was shocked: "You've created the Wenyao fish from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
The little silver sprite fluttered its transparent wings and landed on the top of the bamboo pole.
Yu Luo pointed at the fish: "Go and play by yourselves."
After saying this, the fish reluctantly left the lake and drifted to the blooming flowers on the shore.
The pink petals still held morning dew, and the fish and butterflies with golden patterns on their wings whispered to each other, their tails gently patting the flower stamens.
"It's not completely successful yet. I'm still trying, and it hasn't achieved the effect I want," she said regretfully.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the white hem of her dress to flutter lightly, and the jade belt tied at her waist to make a crisp clinking sound.
"Host, what are your plans? The current situation isn't good. If we intervene in Liang Kingdom like this, the Grand Tutor next door will definitely find out." The system transformed into a silver sprite, sitting on a bamboo pole, holding its round little face with some worry.
"It's alright, we just want him to find out and test the Grand Preceptor's true abilities." Yu Luo raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, secured only by a wooden hairpin with a simple cloud pattern carved on the tip.
"Don't worry, a demon of this level won't act recklessly. He probably already knows about this. Since he doesn't know my background, he won't dare to come over anytime soon."
The system thought for a moment and then reminded, "That imperial advisor is very powerful; he can definitely guess that you need faith."
"This Grand Preceptor is also reaping faith. He has long had his eye on the Liang Kingdom. If you hadn't intervened, three months later, he would definitely have done what that reborn crown prince said and launched an attack on the Liang Emperor."
"But you intervened and easily forced Emperor Liang to retreat, and even took the snake woman away. That Grand Preceptor will definitely be unwilling to accept this. He will try every means to sabotage your actions and disrupt the promotion of this high-yield and high-quality seed."
These high-yield, high-quality crops are the key to Yu Luo's gathering of faith. Now that the host wants more faith, he must let these high-yield crops take root and sprout in Liang Kingdom to help more people.
“He will make a move, but I have a plan.” Yu Luo put away the bamboo fishing rod, the bamboo joints making a crisp sound as they struck each other.
She walked barefoot across the lake, ripples spreading wherever her toes touched the water, and in an instant arrived at the habitat of several phoenixes.
This forest is filled with ancient trees that reach for the sky, their trunks entwined with flowering vines.
Inside lived the animals she had enlightened; some had only gained sentience, while others had transformed into legendary divine birds and mythical beasts.
The Luan Bird and the Goddess of Light Butterfly are the two most successful ones, both becoming quite powerful after being enlightened. However, the Wenyao Fish always has some flaws.
"Looks like I'll have to accumulate enough points for a few more draws." Yu Luo planned to draw the Enlightenment Ability a few more times, trying to maximize its potential.
The system looked curious, its small silver wings fluttering even faster: "Host, what exactly do you want to do?"
Yu Luo summoned a phoenix with wings as blue as the sky and stood on it, explaining: "The Wenyao fish has the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, with a white head and a red beak. It often travels in the Western Sea and the Eastern Sea, flying at night. Its appearance foretells a great harvest in the world."
"Three hundred li to the southwest, there is a mountain called Nüchuang Mountain... There is a bird there, which looks like a pheasant but has five-colored plumage. It is called the Luan bird. Its appearance means that the world will be at peace."
Yu Luo stretched out her translucent hand, her fingertips gleaming with a faint golden light. She pointed at them one by one, and countless shimmering birds and animals rushed over. There were red birds with feathers like flames, and snow-white spirit deer, their eyes sparkling with wisdom.
The system suddenly realized, its mouth agape in surprise: "You want to enlighten these animals, giving them these abilities to benefit the people."
“Yes, I’m trying.” Yu Luo showed an expression of confidence, her lips curving upwards slightly.
The sunlight gilded her with a golden edge, making her seem as if she had stepped out of an ancient painting, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.
"Moreover, it's almost successful."
system:"……"
"It's all reversed! Before, the host would ask it questions, but now it's the host asking the host questions," the system said, tugging at its silver hair in frustration.
It felt utterly useless except for providing information about the transmigrators! The system went into a rage and retreated back to sleep.
Before leaving, it advised, "Your intentions are good, and you will soon succeed, but remember to tell that blue phoenix to keep quiet, or it will shatter the people's illusions!"
Yu Luo: "..."
Little did she know that she would conjure up such a simple blue phoenix.
Looking over there, I saw a blue phoenix perched on a branch, its crest standing tall, looking as if it were about to give a lecture.
At this moment, the blue phoenix was very interested in teaching the other animals to speak. The animals, who had just begun to develop their senses, listened attentively, their little ears perked up.
Her eyes twitched, and with a gentle wave of her white sleeve, she finally left the bustling forest.
Since they all like it so much, let them be.
