Chapter 237 Papyrus Obsession
After Huangling reached the third stage of perfection, Song Miaozhu felt that her cultivation level was almost sufficient to complete the spirit infusion of some land-enclosing paper effigies.

They immediately began their research with great enthusiasm.

First came the papyrus spell.

Combined with the paper mist curtain, one obscuring the view and the other interfering with the five senses, Xiaozhushan would become a true living maze for those who were not invited.

Only then can Xiaozhushan truly possess defensive capabilities.

The Papyrus Enchanting Array is composed of numerous spiritually patterned papyrus.

First, thin bamboo strips are shaved to form the frame. Then, green spirit paper is glued on to make long, thin blades of grass. Finally, a specific rune is drawn on the blades with cinnabar.

Several blades of grass are glued together and then dotted with spirit, and you have a paper grass with spirit patterns.

After the spirit infusion is successful, the spirit-patterned paper grass looks almost like a real grass. However, the red patterns on the grass leaves still make people feel that this grass is unusual.

But it doesn't matter, the red patterns are the key to the papyrus spell that bewitches people's minds.

Its red glow is incredibly striking amidst the white mist of the paper-covered curtain of fog. Anyone entering the mountain cannot help but look at it, and once they see the red patterns, they will be captivated.

Mild cases involve problems with the five senses, making it difficult to distinguish directions and distances; severe cases can lead to hallucinations and loss of mental composure.

The paper mist curtain needs to be buried in the soil to be effective, while this spirit pattern paper grass needs to be planted in the soil.

Song Miaozhu used her yellow spiritual power to nurture a paper grass plant for a period of time, turning it into a spiritual creature, before she began planting paper grass in various parts of Xiaozhushan.

The papayas that hadn't been nurtured by spiritual energy were planted in various parts of the mountain, while the one that had grown into a spiritual entity was planted under the old locust tree. Because the spiritual entity version of the spiritual patterned papaya looked the same as the ordinary spiritually-infused version, but after being planted, its root system would be very developed, able to connect with the root systems of other papayas, and control and manipulate the mind-controlling abilities of other papayas.

It's like having an extra central control center.

If someone intrudes into the formation, the paper grass in other parts of the mountain can also assist the paper grass around the intruder through the link of the spirit-patterned paper grass, enhancing its mind-controlling ability.

The first to experience the mind-controlling power of papyrus were three cats playing in the mountains.

When Song Miaozhu found them, they were all staring at the papyrus with hazy eyes. One was eating air, one was rolling around on the ground acting cute, and the other was quietly squatting there.

I caught them and brought them back to the edge of the spirit-patterned paper straw under the old locust tree. I used my spiritual power to guide them across the path through the spirit-patterned paper straw, and their eyes gradually cleared.

If even a cat, which is so alert, is like this, then people must be even more so.

If the Azure Lotus Earth Vein Talisman is added, the Paper Grass Bewitching Array will have an extra layer of protection, so there's no need to worry about someone breaking out of the illusion to dig up the grass and destroy it. With the addition of the Sky-Patrolling Paper Crane, the path for those who intrude from the air will also be blocked. Adding a Bamboo Horse Boundary Marker to replace the barbed wire, and a pair of Paper Shield Peach Talismans to increase the defense of the spirit house, her residence will truly be as solid as an iron barrel.

The more paper offerings protecting Xiaozhushan, the safer Song Miaozhu felt. The safer she felt, the more interested she became in researching and making paper offerings, and the more paper offerings she made to enclose the area.

She was so engrossed in it that she felt a sense of unease when the paper shop's servant reminded her that there was new information from the Bureau of Spirits.

Looking at the video of the Spirit Adjustment Bureau meeting sent by the little paper servant, Song Miaozhu was stunned: "Global Cultivator Competition?"

I'm getting married during the May Day holiday. I've been quite busy with wedding preparations lately, so updates might be a bit irregular. I should be able to resume normal updates after May Day.
