Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

However, even with Xiao Wan and Xiao Yuan helping to clean up the battlefield, Shen Huang fell silent as his excitement faded and he looked at the devastating scene.

It's not because I'm uncomfortable.

Cultivators are far superior to ordinary people in both body and soul, and are not so easily affected by physical reactions and emotions.

His silence was solely due to himself.

He probably never imagined that one day he would take the initiative to kill a group of complete strangers because of interests and his stance.

"This is war," he sighed inwardly.

Are interests and positions not enough?

Most wars boil down to these two points.

His attention was quickly drawn to the series of Qiankun bags that Xiao Wan had gathered.

The Qiankun Bag isn't that easily damaged, otherwise I really wouldn't be willing to bombard it so relentlessly.

"How many are there?" Looking at the blood-stained Qiankun bags, Shen Huang's anticipation grew.

"Twenty-four!" Xiao Wan's tone was also tinged with surprise. "One out of every three?" Shen Huang's eyes widened as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground. "Are these people much stronger than those from last time?"

Last time, he was only at the third level of the Transcendent Realm. He eliminated 26 members of the demonic sect's villain camp, but only obtained five Qiankun Bags.

The difference is significant.

Not all mid-stage Transcendent Realm cultivators can possess a Qiankun Bag. For ordinary Spirit Masters, only those at the sixth level of Transcendent Realm can generally possess one.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Wan reported her inventory results. "Among these people, there is one at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, eight at the sixth level, and twenty-seven at the fifth level. The Qiankun Bag is basically from these people. Including the remains of the spirit objects, we can get a total of 3787 points. It's a pity that quite a few spirit objects still escaped."

Compared to the flesh-and-blood villains of the demonic sect, spirit creatures are not so easy to kill.

Especially some of the smaller, faster ones.

The spirits of protection will often stay by their master's corpse, seeking out enemies to avenge their master, or even seeking death together. But the spirits will simply scatter and flee as soon as their master dies.

However, without spirit masters, most spirit creatures will ultimately become mist monsters.

Shen Huang didn't feel bad about losing these contribution points.

In reality, if it's just about exchanging points for ordinary people, these contribution points are more than enough for a very long time.

That's enough to exchange for nearly 20,000 adult citizens! You should know that the minimum amount in a county town is only 20,000, which is only possible for those who have undergone a major cultivation stage.

It's impossible for Shen Huang to exchange so many in a short period of time.

"We could also look for items that can't be redeemed elsewhere." Shen Huang recalled the list, which was all about being "comprehensive".

Basically, in the Transcendent Realm, there is nothing that cannot be found above, except for a very few extremely rare items.

Shen Huang even suspected that the Immortal Dynasty should also have those rare items, but they were just not included in this ordinary exchange list.

But it doesn't matter, even Yin Yueshu told him the same thing: the more contribution points the better.

"Let's go, we'll clean up when we get back." Shen Huang looked at the battlefield, which had been quickly cleaned up, and didn't bother with the mess.

If it were just a few evil thugs from the demonic sect, he could at least cover up the battlefield after dealing with them.

However, even if Xiao Chi, who possesses the earth attribute, tries her best to cover the land, the destroyed trees and vegetation cannot be restored in the face of the current situation.

Once they arrive here, whether it's Chen Yu or any other evil cultists, it's easy for them to guess what happened here. If they even know a little, they'll know that Shen Huang was behind it.

It doesn't really matter.

The latter were originally enemies. Shen Huang's current sanctuary was brimming with martial virtue, and his own strength and foundation were far beyond what they used to be. He couldn't be happier if the evil villains from the demonic sect came looking for him. The former, at most, could only regret that Shen Huang had gotten there first in such a gathering place of demonic sects near his own sanctuary.

Therefore, Shen Huang straddled Xiao Chi and returned at full speed.

Instead of going straight home, he went directly to Yinyueshu Town.

Yin Yueshu was a little surprised to see Shen Huang come over again in such a short time, but before she could speak, Shen Huang put dozens of heavy Qiankun bags on the ground.

"I was lucky this time. I stumbled upon a gathering of evil thugs from the Demonic Sect near Chen Yu's place. It was even bigger than the last one, with more than seventy people. I took care of them all in no time." Shen Huang had a lucky smile on his face. "I'll have to trouble Junior Sister Yin to report this for me. Also, please exchange 1,500 civilians for me. Perfect, the factory can expand its production significantly now."

Fifteen hundred—this is the maximum number of people that Xiao Yin calculated the current sanctuary could increase.

Her spiritual aura actually extends beyond most towns; however, considering that roads, factories, research facilities, and other places all require land, coupled with a sizable planting area, it's not advisable to exchange for too many people at once.

Especially factories. In typical shelters, there's no such thing as a factory, but they actually occupy a larger area than residential areas.

First, we need to integrate these people, increase their cohesion, and create a safe haven atmosphere and culture. Then, when we exchange population later, it will be much easier to integrate them.

At this moment, Yin Yueshu looked at the Qiankun bags in front of her, some of which were still stained with blood, and remained silent for a while before saying with obvious envy, "Senior Brother Shen's luck is so strong that Yueshu is truly envious."

"I don't know what my luck is really like either." Shen Huang spread his hands, somewhat helplessly. "I don't know who's been covering for me."

Ever since learning from Yin Yueshu that his luck had been concealed, Shen Huang felt somewhat relieved. Because anything unknown could indeed become a very good excuse.

In the future, when faced with some important things, even if we have to bring out some rare and precious items, we can push everything onto luck.

As for why it's invisible...

There are too many possible reasons.

The white jade that gave him his talent and abilities possessed its own inherent power, or perhaps it was because he came from another world and was not recorded in the fortune-telling system of this world.

There's no need to toss and turn at night over questions that can't be answered yet.

Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about where the gray fog came from, why it can bring the inanimate to life, what's going on with the blood moon in the sky, and whether those monsters will suddenly fall down...

Too much.

Even if there are genuine concerns, they should be transformed into motivation to improve one's level. Only strength can provide the greatest confidence to face all problems, all unknowns, and all risks.

At this moment, Yin Yueshu was also filled with envy. She asked Cui'er to take these things down to calculate and deal with them. When she turned back to look at Shen Huang, she also reminded him: "Senior Brother Shen, your characteristics are too obvious. The evil demons who have infiltrated this time are not comparable to those before. If there is any danger, you can immediately send the flying spirit animal Xiao Yuan to notify me. I will definitely come to your aid with all my might. If it really comes to the worst, you can abandon your place of refuge and come to my town for refuge."

"Don't worry, I know," Shen Huang said with a smile, accepting the kindness.

Yin Yueshu nodded slightly, not too worried. This Senior Brother Shen was powerful, and there were many weapons in the protected area. Moreover, his mount was far faster than ordinary mounts, and there were also second-tier talismans sent by their Yin family.

It's not something that ordinary evil cultists are qualified to covet.

When Xiao Cui brought back the numerous Qiankun bags after cleaning them, and informed Xiao Wan of the count, there was no discrepancy between the count and Xiao Wan's count.

Shen Huang took his leave.

However, they were somewhat eager to take stock of their spoils.

Although Xiao Wan had stored all her spoils in her storage space along the way, she had not yet taken stock of them.

Such joyful moments naturally require Shen Huang to come in person.

It wasn't just Shen Huang; Xiao Yin was also quite looking forward to it.

They were already waiting inside the mansion.

"Bring it all out."

"Okay." Xiao Wan took out all the spoils of war, but instead of dropping them to the ground, they were caught by Xiao Yin's magic and floated in mid-air.

"Seven thousand four hundred and thirty-two bags of White Spirit Rice, thirty-six bags of Crystal Jade Spirit Rice, and oh, there are also ten bags of Precious Blood Spirit Rice. These must be for that seventh-level Transcendent Realm cultivator to consume himself. His identity and strength are extraordinary." Ordinary seventh-level Transcendent Realm cultivators do not have the ability to consume Precious Blood Spirit Rice on a daily basis.

Shen Huang recalled the corpse and nodded slightly.

"Indeed extraordinary. He was able to withstand a combined main cannon shot from Xiao Yuan and Xiao Chi without exploding. Although he was wearing a sixth-level Transcendent Armor, it was of ordinary quality and he was not very old. Xiao Wan estimated that if this person were placed in a small Dao Foundation Realm family at the county level, he might be able to obtain a seed status and be called a 'family prodigy'."

Speaking of which, the term "prodigy" appears everywhere in this world when used alone.

It mainly depends on the prefix.

"I see, that makes sense then." Xiao Yin nodded, looking like she knew it all along. "If they didn't have some resources and strength, they wouldn't dare to set up their gathering place near Chen Yu's residence. It was absolutely right for Master to kill him first. Wow, there are so many high-grade first-tier talismans here!"

Xiao Yin directly separated the spoils belonging to the leader.

The quality is indeed far superior to that of others.

Elixirs, talismans, and spirit rice are at least mid-grade first rank, and at least half of them are high-grade.

There were even a few magical artifacts.

The quality and quantity of the spiritual materials were also quite good, including a special spiritual material that I had never seen before: a large ball of silk thread.

"Master, these should be the spiritual materials for making a robe." Xiao Wan was very happy and took the silk threads first. "We can make a robe for you now." "Is it just a matter of weaving?" Shen Huang was also a little curious.

"We still need to weave in some formations and talismans," Xiao Yin interjected, her image on the screen conveying a keen interest amidst the flowing smoke. "I've already mastered some, and I'll come with Xiao Wan later to make sure the master is comfortable."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Shen Huang recalled the clothes Yin Yueshu was wearing; along with the veil, they were clearly Buddhist robes.

Always keep it spotless.

These are all secondary; the key is to isolate spiritual consciousness, that's the main point.

When interacting with other spirit masters in daily life, no one would dare to offend them like this, but enemies wouldn't care. Moreover, when fighting in ordinary clothes, they have to use their magic to protect them, otherwise they will shatter at the slightest touch.

There's not much else to say.

This person seems to be of the metal element, meaning he possesses two metal-based spells, one attribute-free spell, and a superior cultivation technique that focuses more on the metal element. It's quite a good harvest.

Ultimately, although this person was quite wealthy, far beyond what ordinary spirit masters could match, it was still not to an exaggerated degree.

It can only fill some temporary gaps in Shen Huang's position.

However, when she finally examined a small bottle, Xiao Yin's expression suddenly turned serious. "Xiao Wan, don't touch this yet, don't open the lid." Xiao Yin examined it carefully, "This thing seems to be poison, a highly toxic substance containing spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huang's gaze sharpened.

He knew perfectly well that poison was a terrible thing in this world.

Some poisons, in particular, can even turn into fog monsters.

That would be a nightmare for most spirit masters. Even Shen Huang wouldn't dare say he could find a solution if he were to fall victim to it.

His only advantage was that he had Xiao Wan protecting him closely, which allowed him to keenly spot some easily overlooked aspects of himself.

Even so, Shen Huang was still somewhat afraid of poison.

"I have some doubts, but I can't be sure." Xiao Wan's tone also became serious. "Xiao Yin, how are you sure it's poison?"

"Malice," Xiao Yin replied. "Items can also retain some of the emotions left by the person who held them. My mental attributes, combined with my precise data analysis abilities, make me very sensitive to this kind of malice."

"Is there a way to give me this ability?" Xiao Wan asked directly.

"Yes, I have an idea. I can seal a portion of my magic power in a program and install it on you and Xiaoyuan, so that you can use it according to a predetermined way even without talent. It's like a talisman, but more controllable and longer-lasting. I only need to replenish my magic power periodically." Xiaoyin actually came up with an idea in that instant.

"Raise the priority of this project and get it done as soon as possible." "Understood!" Xiao Yin on the screen nodded emphatically.

Shen Huang watched the brief conversation without saying a word, knowing that they were worried about his safety.

Clearly, in a war like this, the enemy will stop at nothing to stop them.

If they can't defeat their opponent head-on, they'll resort to all sorts of other methods, with no bottom line.

However, Shen Huang also noticed that although Xiao Wan was becoming more and more submissive and adapting to her role as his "secretary," she didn't care much about most things except taking care of Shen Huang. But when she got serious, she still showed her status as the "big sister" of the "first spirit."

That's great.

Shen Huang still values ​​the atmosphere within his family. He doesn't mind the usual playful banter, but he can't tolerate internal conflicts at crucial moments.

"Alright, let's continue counting the other spoils of war," Shen Huang said with a smile.

Xiao Yin carefully put away the bottle of poison, seemingly preparing to study it, and then sped up the counting process.

This time, the harvest was quite substantial.
