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

Shen Huang had already learned from the guards a few days earlier that the spiritual energy in this sanctuary did not contain any malevolent energy.

This is because the spiritual energy of a sanctuary essentially originates from the spirit of sanctuary.

These spiritual energies have already been processed.

But precisely because of this, this spiritual energy is actually exclusively the protector, that is, the village head.

It maintains a meager amount of spiritual energy, allowing these commoners who have grown up in an environment filled with spiritual energy to survive.

But it's just about survival.

If it is to be used for spiritual practice, it is far from enough.

"Therefore, here, most cultivators first awaken the spirits of spiritual objects, or form contracts with spiritual objects that have already given birth to a certain level of spirituality, and then use this to begin their cultivation. The guards usually stay in the gray mist near the village, both for defense and for cultivation."

Shen Huang pondered in his heart.

"However, according to the strategic analysis department's speculation, in some large places, such as small towns or even cities, young cultivators with the help of elders are likely to cultivate first, and then perform spiritual awakening after they have a certain foundation of strength. This can result in a greater success rate, and can also carry out a higher level of extraordinary transformation on the prepared spiritual objects before spiritual awakening."

Shen Huang's brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

Backed by the national power of a technologically advanced world, he already possesses advantages that ordinary cultivators in this other world cannot match.

They went to the extreme to make every possible preparation.

This road is still very long.

Shen Huang closed his eyes again, familiarizing himself with the Spirit Control Technique and the cultivation method.

Although he hasn't officially started visualization yet, even just visualizing the steps beforehand will allow him to get used to the spiritual energy and the feeling after it enters his body.

This kind of preparation is still very necessary.

Meanwhile, in this village of only a few hundred people, Shen Huang had quickly become the center of attention.

Because Chief He publicly announced the township head's will.

Shen Huang was the township head's guest, and he was exceptionally talented!

Now, the thugs who followed Hongfei were truly terrified. They no longer had their previous arrogant demeanor and didn't even dare to leave the house.

Many ordinary people were also wondering whether they could follow this distinguished guest of the township head.

However, this guest is not yet a Spirit Master. It will probably be a long time before he possesses a protective spirit, so the people are somewhat hesitant.

There were also some guards who hesitated whether to come up and try to establish a relationship, but felt it was too early.

Gradually, a number of people began to watch around Shen Huang's dilapidated house, but no one went forward directly.

Faced with this situation, Shen Huang was somewhat puzzled, but he decided to ignore it for the time being.

His most important task right now is to prepare for the awakening of his spiritual energy and to embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible, reaching the extraordinary level.

The task is actually quite demanding.

Especially in the study of central black holes.

The cultivation method clearly states that the deeper one's understanding and knowledge of the object of visualization, the better.

This can be corroborated in many ways.

Theoretically speaking, every star in the sky could be a constellation, or even a constellation no less powerful than the sun. Why is the sun the most effective?

Because the sun is closest to us, and we understand it most deeply!

Under these circumstances, Shen Huang really needed to study very hard, including various astronomical knowledge.

It wasn't until evening that Guard He, who had gone out to cultivate and patrol, hurriedly arrived. After a brief exchange with some people outside, he came to the door.

With his keen senses, Shen Huang noticed that Chief He's clothes were somewhat torn and had some marks that looked like bandages.

Are you injured?

He stood up and opened the door.

Ordinary villagers or guards can be ignored, but Guard Chief He's power in this village is second only to the township head.

"Are you injured?"

Shen Huang glanced at his wound and asked first, his tone not deliberate, but revealing a hint of concern.

A few tricks for those in positions of power are only effective when one has a clear advantage.

Captain He was slightly taken aback, then quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I only encountered a few troublesome earth spirits while on patrol, but I was unharmed."

Earth Spirit?

Shen Huang memorized the name, then glanced around and noticed that the crowd was not dispersing but rather showing signs of growing larger.

"We still need to be extra careful," Shen Huang added with concern, but stopped there. He glanced around, his brow furrowing slightly. "Why are they gathered here?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency," said Chief Guard He, who had come specifically for this matter. "Some of the guards hope that after Your Excellency becomes a Spirit Master, they can serve under Your Excellency's command. Others of the common people hope that after Your Excellency becomes a Protector and opens up new sanctuaries, they can live under Your Excellency's rule. And then there are some... who have come to apologize and make amends."

"Apologize and make amends?"

Shen Huang scanned the crowd but did not see Hong Fei. Instead, he spotted several thugs who had been following Hong Fei.

However, these people who were usually arrogant and domineering were now cowering and dared not move forward under Shen Huang's gaze.

It is also clear who this apology is referring to.

Shen Huang nodded slightly and said calmly, "If it is Hongfei who is apologizing, why doesn't he come in person?"

The sound was quite loud, and the group of people naturally heard it. Their faces turned pale, and they were terrified.

"My lord," Guard Captain He hesitated for a moment before explaining, "If you had become a Spirit Master, Hongfei would not only have to come in person to apologize, but you could have simply spoken to the Lord and driven him away without a second thought. The Lord wouldn't have cared. But now..."

Although the following words were not stated explicitly, Shen Huang understood them.

The township head indeed wielded immense power here, so much so that even though he was just an ordinary person, simply by becoming the township head's guest, he was able to get a superhuman like Hong Fei to send his subordinates to apologize.

However, he was ultimately just a mortal.

For a spirit master to personally come and apologize to a mere mortal is likely a serious violation of the local customs and traditions.

Even Chief Guard He felt that it was perfectly normal for Hongfei not to come.

This gave Shen Huang a deeper understanding of the social culture of this world.

In a civilization possessing extraordinary power, the extraordinary power wielded by an individual is perhaps more dominant than factors such as background or authority in determining strength or weakness.

A truly rigid hierarchy.

"In that case, let them come," Shen Huang said finally, sounding somewhat indifferent. "It's a minor matter anyway."

Even if he wanted to cause trouble for Hongfei, it wouldn't be now; he would have to wait until Hongfei successfully became a Spirit Master.

So, since there's an apology now, let's accept it for now; there might be something good inside.

He, the head guard, also visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I just took a look, and the compensation offered by Hongfei is quite generous, showing considerable sincerity. However, if you are not satisfied, I can go on your behalf and make Hongfei pay another price."
