174: Shi Niang's first move

Time flowed by, little by little. Li Mu sat cross-legged on a large rock, motionless for a long time, feeling as if his entire being had merged with nature.

At this moment, Li Mu was sensing the sounds of the entire Kunlun Mountain and touching its Laws.

However, he found that everything here was no different from Huping Mountain, Mount Tai, or Wu Chen Island; it was all the same operation of Spiritual Veins, with Spiritual Qi increasing, subtly nourishing the flowers, plants, trees, birds, and beasts of the entire Kunlun Mountain range.

It was just that Li Mu still couldn't reach those green lights; he could only see them but couldn't analyze what they were.

Moreover, through this period of enlightenment, Li Mu discovered that these green lights were gathering in those few places, growing more and more numerous, making those locations increasingly profound.

It gave Li Mu a feeling that these places were clearly right before his eyes, yet he couldn't reach them no matter what.

He even specifically went to these places to verify this feeling, but he easily reached his destination and did not experience the feeling he had sensed.

However, as soon as he left those places, that feeling would immediately reappear.

And it became increasingly obvious, more and more ethereal...

Li Mu felt that something unexpected might happen in these places once these green lights finished gathering!

After all, these places are all origin points of myths and legends.

The Dao field of the Queen Mother of the West, the lower capital of the Yellow Emperor, places that lead directly to the Heavenly Court, the Dao field of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and so on...

There were more than a dozen places where these green lights gathered, all of which were mythological sites related to Kunlun Mountain.

However, Li Mu currently couldn't touch these things. He could only wait and see, or try to improve his Cultivation and then give it a shot.

Li Mu gradually opened his eyes, withdrawing from his enlightenment, and then sighed deeply.

He was now basically certain that these green lights were definitely greatly related to those myths and legends!

However, judging by the speed at which these green lights were gathering, it was probably impossible for them to finish gathering in a short time, which wouldn't delay his subsequent arrangements.

Otherwise, constantly monitoring things here in Kunlun would be a hassle.

Li Mu thought for a moment, then simply got up and flew towards Tianji.

He still had things to arrange, and these matters couldn't be delayed. So, for Kunlun, he might as well let Linglong keep an eye on it.

It was big enough here for it to go wild!

Meanwhile, Linglong, who was excitedly drooling over the roasted meat on the bonfire while barbecuing with Xing Mulan, was completely unaware that Li Mu had already made arrangements for it.

...

At this moment in Chengyang City, Shi Niang, who had just finished work, returned home. After putting down her bag, she headed straight for the walk-in closet; she had planned to go shopping with a colleague.

However, just then, the colleague she often chatted and shopped with called.

Shi Niang casually answered, then turned on the speakerphone, placed her phone aside, and continued to choose clothes while on the call.

From the phone, her colleague's voice came through, sounding somewhat down: "Xiao Niang, I might not be able to go shopping with you later..."

Hearing this, Shi Niang paused, her hands stopping their movements.

She instinctively asked, "What's wrong? You sound upset. Did something happen to you?"

"It's just... it's just..."

The woman's voice on the phone was intermittent: "As soon as I got home... I saw my dog lying on the floor, almost dying..."

"It ate all the chocolate I bought... It... is dying..."

The woman's voice on the phone was on the verge of tears as she spoke.

Hearing this, Shi Niang quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right over!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone, didn't even change her clothes, and turned to leave her house.

Fortunately, her colleague's house wasn't far from hers; she arrived after running for about ten minutes.

With Shi Niang's current ability, running for ten minutes didn't even make her out of breath, nor did her face turn red or her heart pound.

Upon arriving at her colleague's house, Shi Niang directly rang the doorbell.

A moment later, the door opened, revealing a woman with red eyes and a low mood.

This was the same colleague who had gone shopping with Shi Niang last time, the one who changed boyfriends dozens of times a year!

But now, compared to her previous carefree and stylish self, she seemed like a different person.

Shi Niang followed her into the house. The woman walked ahead, speaking as she went: "I just called the vet, and they said because the dog's symptoms indicate it ate the chocolate a long time ago, they can't do anything..."

As she spoke, her female colleague was about to cry again.

Shi Niang didn't speak, only gently patted her shoulder.

She knew how important this dog was to her colleague; she usually doted on it endlessly. Although in Shi Niang's opinion, this husky often acted foolishly and was always restless and very noisy in her colleague's home.

If it weren't a husky, it wouldn't have committed such a suicidal act of gorging on chocolate.

However, it had, after all, always accompanied her colleague and brought her much joy.

It was indeed a bit regrettable for it to die just like this...

Then she softly said, "It's okay, it will get better."

After speaking, Shi Niang walked towards the husky.

At this moment, the husky had completely lost its lively spirit, lying on the ground with dull eyes, still foaming at the mouth, and its breathing was faint.

Shi Niang looked around, then took a potted plant from the dining table.

The next second, the flower in the pot instantly withered, its life essence directly extracted, floating into Shi Niang's palm, forming a cluster of milky yellow light.

This was Shi Niang's first time using her ability, so she was being very cautious, fearing she might make a wrong move!

Then, Shi Niang lifted the life essence and fed it into the husky's mouth.

After all this was done, the husky, which had been lying motionless on the ground, clearly improved, and its eyes began to regain their sparkle.

Seeing these changes, Shi Niang finally smiled, realizing she had succeeded.

Although she often Cultivated according to Li Mu's methods, this was still her first time controlling it, and her Cultivation was still relatively basic. Her application of the ability was still shallow, only allowing her to heal in this manner.

Only later, when her Cultivation reached its peak, could she save people without any cost, even allowing people to Regain severed limbs, and even if their Primordial Spirit was damaged, as long as they weren't dead, she could restore them to perfect health!

Shi Niang looked at the husky lying on the ground, its breathing also beginning to recover, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Even the woman, who had thought her dog was surely dead, walked over now and, seeing this scene, was also stunned!
