The Rat Cultivator

Meanwhile, Bibo was already deep in planning. “King, I plan to adjust the terrain between the two locations. We can arrange specific buildings or minor formations to channel the flow, creating a river of Spiritual Qi cascading from the large bluestone down to the valley!”

Bibo’s voice rose with excitement. “We can even plant specific spirit trees along the route to block evil energy and attract auspicious winds!”

Wu Yuan shook his head, pouring a bucket of cold water on Bibo’s enthusiasm. “Talking about the landscaping is premature. Let’s establish the basic pattern connection first. Don’t run before you can crawl.”

Bibo took a deep breath, centering himself. “The King is right.”

Wu Yuan beamed. He turned his gaze toward a random point in the void, his expression shifting to one of exaggerated reverence.

“Lord Xiaoqing! You possess vast supernatural powers and omniscience. Please, grant me the earth vein flow chart of the Azure Spirit Mountain Range! It will be of great use to me.”

Wu Yuan shamelessly continued to beg.

On the other end, the Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven was rendered speechless by the rat’s thick skin. It remained silent for quite a while before finally responding, its voice dripping with exasperation.

“You really know how to squeeze every drop out of me, don’t you? You know I can’t directly intervene, so you treat me like a sentient encyclopedia!”

Wu Yuan maintained his smile. “Well, you’re idle anyway! Just help me gather some information in passing.”

The Azure Radiance Grotto-Heaven sighed. “Every time I communicate with you, it consumes Grotto-Heaven power! This time, I will only give you the earth vein chart of Little Green Mountain. Nothing more!”

The Grotto-Heaven let out a mental snort of annoyance. Yet, immediately following its complaint, a vast torrent of information surged through the spiritual connection, flooding Wu Yuan’s mind.

“Alright, Lord Xiaoqing!”

The download was intense. When Wu Yuan finally composed himself and parsed the information imprinted in his consciousness, his headache vanished, replaced by a grin.

“It’s… incredibly detailed. Simply miraculous!”

With the Earth Vein Chart in hand, Wu Yuan immediately summoned his inner circle. He pulled Bibo aside for a detailed study session, then gathered the rest of the commanders.

Bibo stared at the projection of the chart, his jaw practically hitting the floor. “Great King… such a detailed Earth Vein Chart… surely it cannot be fake? How can such a thing even exist?”

Big Old Black, however, scratched his head. “It’s just a map of some dirt roads underground. What’s the big deal? This is nothing for the Boss.”

The Pangolin nodded in agreement. “What’s so surprising? When I use my Earth Walk technique, I travel along these veins all the time.”

“You two blockheads!” Bibo, in a fit of frustration, yanked out a few strands of his own beard. “This isn’t just a map; it’s a blueprint of the world’s blood vessels!”

Little Gray, usually quiet, wore a grave expression. “This is extraordinary. I’ve seen the charts held by my family back home. They can’t even be compared to this. A chart this detailed might exist in the hands of those Golden Core Demon Lords, but even they wouldn’t have real-time records. This is absolutely priceless.”

The Winged Tiger’s eyes lit up. “I’ve heard the humans have a specific Dharma Treasure that can detect earth veins. Perhaps this map was scanned by such an artifact?”

Wu Yuan shook his head helplessly. “It is definitely real, and yes, it is a rare item. But stop guessing its origin. Let’s shift our focus to the planning. How do we use this to transform Little Green Mountain?”
