256: A forbidden place with strong suppression

The Grand Elder thought about it and decided that the only suitable candidates for exploring the island were the members of the Special Affairs Bureau team!

It would be best to first arrange for people to guard the vicinity of the island, so that if anything is discovered, preparations can be made immediately!

However, the Special Affairs Bureau team has just experienced the spiritual energy tide, so they should take some time to recover.

There's no rush; let them heal their injuries and restore their spiritual energy first.

.........

Li Mu saw Linglong and the little fox return, fawning over him and seeking praise.

So, Li Mu placed ten Spirit Stones on the table.

Linglong was overjoyed at the sight of the Spirit Stones on the table, and excitedly scurried over, grabbed one, and left.

The little fox saw this familiar scene, then looked at Li Mu's expression, and seeing that its master also had an amused look, it seemed that Linglong's foolish behavior was not a one-time occurrence.

Since that's the case, I'll unceremoniously accept these extra Spirit Stones!

Li Mu shook his head with a chuckle; Linglong was truly too foolish.

The changes brought by this spiritual energy tide have expanded the world considerably, and many islands have even appeared in the sea.

The dense Spiritual Qi has triggered the Awakening of many ordinary people's talents.

Spiritual Veins too.

As the Spiritual Qi continues to grow denser over time, more and more Spiritual Veins will appear. If I add a little push at that time, the fourth spiritual energy tide can be arranged very quickly!

However, the most important thing right now is to go and see what the situation of these islands is like.

When he first discovered them, Li Mu wasn't surprised, after all, the spiritual energy tide changing the world was normal.

However, upon seeing the entrance to a Small World on the island, Li Mu was slightly surprised.

It was just that he had something urgent to attend to at the time, so he left in a hurry.

This time, he would thoroughly investigate what was going on inside the entrance to the Small World!?

Looking at the silly Linglong and the little fox, Li Mu smiled and said, “Linglong, come here.”

Linglong: ???

I'm absorbing Spirit Stones, I'm very busy right now, no time.

If master has something to command, please use Spirit Stones to summon Linglong!

Li Mu raised an eyebrow. Has Linglong become clever?!

Or has she started to 'grow' a brain from staying with the little fox?

Li Mu asked Linglong with a chuckle, “Since that's the case, I was originally planning to take you out for a stroll. It seems you don't want to go out?”

Linglong changed her posture, continued to absorb the Spirit Stones, and shook her head, turning her rear towards Li Mu to indicate she didn't want to go.

Linglong: I'm not going! Although it's fun outside, I just got back, and Linglong is all tired and thin.

Li Mu: ......

Li Mu looked at Linglong, who had only been with Shi Niang for a short time, and had already gained weight.

He didn't know what Shi Niang had been feeding them, but Linglong and the little fox had visibly gotten much fatter.

Seeing that Linglong didn't want to go out, he looked at the little fox beside him.

“Since Linglong said she's not going, what about you, little fox?”

The little fox immediately pretended to be weak and collapsed on the ground, indicating it couldn't go at all.

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh at Linglong and the little fox's performance.

He hadn't actually intended to take Linglong and the little fox out; he just wanted to tease them.

Linglong and the little fox: .........

After teasing Linglong and the little fox, Li Mu became invisible and ascended into the sky outside.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was much denser than before. In this environment, even ordinary people, after prolonged absorption of Spiritual Qi into their bodies, would experience a qualitative change in their Physique!

Below, the streets, houses, and all other aspects were slowly returning to their previous appearance.

The recovery speed was quite fast. It seemed the Grand Elder had already gotten used to this, and was already becoming proficient...

Li Mu rode his sword towards an island on the sea, where he unexpectedly met Wu Ya. The two of them went together to one of the islands in the sea!

Upon learning about the island, Wu Ya wanted to come and see it, but he didn't expect to meet his master.

Li Mu and the others saw the guards on the island from afar, presumably arranged there by the Grand Elder.

Li Mu and Wu Ya arrived at a spot on the island by sword, then cast an invisibility spell on each other, concealing their whereabouts.

For now, it was best not to let the Grand Elder's people discover their presence.

Li Mu and Wu Ya looked at the Small World entrance and found that only Cultivators who had completed Refining Qi could enter this Small World entrance.

Wu Ya: “My Lord, this Small World entrance has a Restriction based on cultivation level.”

Li Mu: “Hmm, only those who have completed Refining Qi can enter. Interesting. Let's go in and see what's inside.”

Wu Ya: “Yes!”

Li Mu and Wu Ya suppressed their cultivation to the Refining Qi stage before entering.

The two successfully passed through the entrance of the Small World and arrived inside the Small World.

This Small World was filled with Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicine, and Yao Beasts, somewhat resembling a Forbidden Ground described in novels.

Looking at this vast Small World, the area here was too large, and it would be inconvenient for two people to investigate together.

So, he turned to Wu Ya and said, “Wu Ya, let's split into two groups to investigate. We'll meet back here after we're done.”

Wu Ya nodded, bowed slightly towards Li Mu, cupped his fists in a salute, and said, “Alright, please be careful!”

After separating from Wu Ya, Li Mu threw Linglong and the little fox out of the Cave Heaven Small World.

“Linglong, little fox, you two go separately and see if there's anything else nearby?”

Linglong and the little fox were just having a sweet dream in the Cave Heaven Small World one second, and the next they were thrown out by their master to work.

Before Linglong and the little fox could complain, they saw an endless expanse of various Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicine, and various Spirit Beasts around them.

Linglong suddenly became extremely happy; there were so many little friends!

Linglong wanted to play with her new friends, and then she vanished.

The little fox looked around, then entered a forest and disappeared.

Li Mu investigated for a long time, and found that this Small World only contained Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicine, and many Yao Beasts.

There was nothing else. It seemed this island's Small World was ownerless. He wondered if the Small Worlds on other islands were the same?

He looked at the Yao Beasts in the distance. However, this was indeed an excellent place for cultivation.

He checked the time, then summoned Linglong and the little fox to his side.

“Did you two find anything?”

Linglong and the little fox both shook their heads. Upon learning this, Li Mu sent Linglong and the little fox back to the Cave Heaven Small World.

Since this place only had Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicine, and Yao Beasts, and nothing else, it was better to meet up with Wu Ya first. Perhaps he had found something!

Subsequently, Li Mu arrived at the agreed meeting point with Wu Ya. Not long after, Wu Ya also returned.

Wu Ya first nodded slightly to Li Mu, then said, “My investigation only found Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicine, and many Yao Beasts. There was nothing else. I wonder if you, my Lord, had any unexpected gains?”

Li Mu shook his head and said, “My investigation results are the same as yours. Since that's the case, let's leave this place for now!”

Li Mu and Wu Ya came outside and looked at the sky. Wu Ya said, “I still need to investigate the Small World entrances on other islands, so I will take my leave first.”

Li Mu pondered and nodded, “Very well. When you have your investigation results, transmit them to me.”

Wu Ya nodded, “Alright, I'll be going now!”

Li Mu glanced at the people dispatched by the Grand Elder, then also left.........
