After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 243 Water Control Spirit
Song Miaozhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiaozhushan is still some distance from Xiaolijiang, and it will take time for this guy to connect with the water veins.

However, she then encountered a problem.

The Stone Rhinoceros is no match for the Paper Soldiers. Controlling it and interrupting its abilities are not a problem, but how to deal with it is a difficult issue.

Letting it go is definitely not an option; it can control the water veins and has been trying to contact Xiaolijiang.

Countless people live along the banks of the Xiaoli River. These are unclaimed spiritual creatures, without any cultivators to restrain them. Releasing them back would be too risky.

If it gets close to a water source, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

The reason it was able to transform into a spiritual creature so quickly was because Song Miaozhu fed it with the spiritual energy she absorbed through her own cultivation. If it were to do evil, Song Miaozhu estimated that she would also have to bear some of the blame.

If we don't let it go, we can only have the paper soldiers watch over it, and we can't let it stay alone, otherwise it can communicate with the water veins at any time and cause trouble.

The paper soldier's punches and kicks consume spiritual energy! It would be a waste to just let the paper soldier watch it like this.

"Sigh! I should have known better than to bring it back to the mountain." Song Miaozhu was caught in a dilemma.

After much thought, I still feel that either I can make it obedient and follow my commands, or I can release it back into the wild, or I can only destroy it to end the problem once and for all.

She tried many methods to get the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros to recognize her as its master, or at least to become a little more obedient.

She infused it with spiritual power, influenced it using the method of spiritual infusion, reasoned with it in various ways, and tried every method she could think of, including coercion and enticement.

For a whole week, the paper soldiers chased the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros all over the mountain, trying to trap it and teach it a lesson, but it was no use; the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros was completely unable to communicate.

Xiaozhushan was also disturbed by it, and the paper flower fields were damaged by the water it sprayed.

In the end, Song Miaozhu had no other choice. She was about to reach the ninth level of the Yellow Spirit Realm and was at a crucial moment for her breakthrough. With such a restless fellow on Xiaozhu Mountain, she couldn't cultivate in peace.

Although a stone rhinoceros that can control water is rare, it's not worth spending so much time on it.

Unable to be used for her own benefit, and instead becoming a burden to her, it was truly a loss outweighing the gain.

Song Miaozhu finally hardened her heart and ordered the paper soldiers to use their full strength.

The water-suppressing stone rhinoceros wouldn't obey, so I simply smashed it to pieces, ending the problem once and for all.

The craftsman's exquisite skills endow objects with the ability to retain spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy transforms objects into spiritual beings.

If you break this object apart, its spirituality will vanish completely.

The paper soldiers held back and launched a powerful attack on the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros.

Previously, we only prevented it from escaping Xiaozhushan and from disturbing the water veins, but now we are using every ounce of our strength.

Although the paper soldiers were made of paper, they had been raised by Song Miaozhu for so long that their physical strength surpassed that of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, which had just become a spiritual object and hadn't had much time to absorb spiritual energy for a week.

Before long, cracks appeared on the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros.

However, it was really stubborn. Even with its body damaged, it refused to give up and kept trying to escape from Xiaozhushan.

This time, however, before it could even run out, it was smashed to pieces by the paper soldiers' flurry of punches.

Once the stone body shattered, its spiritual energy dissipated, and the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros lost all its spiritual power.

Normally, when a spiritual object is broken, only a pile of lifeless objects that have lost their spirituality will remain on the spot.

But Song Miaozhu didn't expect that a light blue spiritual energy cluster would appear in the broken stones of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros.

"What is this?" Song Miaozhu had never seen spiritual energy of this color before.

She looked at herself in the spirit-detecting bronze mirror. The mirror displayed: "The spirit soul created after the destruction of an unclaimed spiritual object; the spirit soul's ability is water control."

"This is the spirit?" Song Miaozhu was even more puzzled.

She had seen destroyed spiritual objects before, but she had never seen a spirit emerge from a destroyed spiritual object.

"Could it be that only unclaimed spiritual objects possess this kind of thing?"

She had never seen a destroyed, unclaimed spiritual object before; the Water-Suppressing Stone Rhinoceros was the first one she had ever seen.

"What's the use of this thing?" Song Miaozhu circled the ball of spirit a few times.

Like spiritual energy, it exists in an energy state; you can only touch empty air, and you can't take it away with ordinary things.

Song Miaozhu tried again with her spiritual power, and this time it worked. Just as she was about to wrap the wisp of spirit with her spiritual power and take it back to the spirit house for a closer look, the spirit suddenly followed her spiritual power all the way up and entered her brow.

Song Miaozhu shuddered, as if she had suddenly become a different person.

She stood on the bank of the rushing river, dressed in ancient clothing, stroking a huge rock: "This is it."

"A rhinoceros's limbs must be strong to firmly anchor itself in the water; a rhinoceros's back must be broad to bear the weight of a massive flood."

Song Miaozhu heard herself say this.

Rainwater slid down the edge of her straw hat, mingling with sweat and seeping into the cracks in the rocks. Each strike of her hammer carried both the fear of the flood and the hope for peace.

The familiar stone rhinoceros slowly took shape under her carving.

Once out of this strange state, Song Miaozhu immediately understood that she had just witnessed, from a first-person perspective, the scene of craftsmen carving a water-suppressing stone rhinoceros hundreds of years ago.

She studied paper crafting but had never learned stone carving. After this experience, she suddenly felt that she could take a chisel and hammer and try to carve a stone rhinoceros herself.

Amazing!

She had only touched the spirit that appeared after the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros was destroyed with her spiritual power.

That's right! Spirit!
But at this moment, the broken stones of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros were empty, and its spirit had disappeared.

Song Miaozhu remembered that the spirit had gone to her brow, so she quickly looked inward at her spiritual space.

Inside the Lingtai space, besides the seven-colored light gate in the air, there were only four levels of spirit crystal steps: red, blue, green, and yellow.

The empty space now suddenly has a blue aura.

What is it if not the spirit of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros?
Has it settled down securely in her spiritual space?

Looking at the spirit floating in her spiritual space, Song Miaozhu had a question mark in her mind.

This guy really knows how to pick a spot!
The Lingtai Space was the foundation of her cultivation, and Song Miaozhu couldn't feel at ease with this thing of unknown use floating here.

She then channeled her spiritual power, attempting to throw it away.

Unexpectedly, once the spiritual energy passed through, it actually followed her spiritual energy and went out, just as obedient as her spiritual energy.

Take it out, take it back, repeat this many times, and the spirit is always obedient.

Originally, Song Miaozhu intended to place it in the spirit house for research, but after staying outside for a short time, its spirit began to dissipate and disappear.

Having no other choice, Song Miaozhu had to put it back into her spiritual space.

She only has one spirit, and she hasn't even figured out what its function is yet, so she can't bear to let it disappear.

Fortunately, it was quite obedient and didn't affect her cultivation. However, if she probed it with her spiritual energy, it would only play a short movie about a stonemason making a water-suppressing rhinoceros for her, which would still consume her own spiritual energy.
