34: The elder racked his brains but couldn't figure out what happened two years later.
After Wan Musi left, Li Mu also quickly finished his breakfast and departed.
Since Cultivating, even if he didn't eat, there would be no problem, it was just a habit formed over decades that was difficult to break all at once.
Originally, he hadn't planned to come to this restaurant, but when he returned, he habitually spread his Divine Sense, wanting to see what Wan Musi, who was dispatched by the officials, was doing.
He just happened to "see" Wan Musi in this restaurant, so Li Mu decided to come in.
After eating, Li Mu did not linger and returned directly to his home.
As soon as he entered his home, Li Mu immediately opened the System and began to edit today's diary content.
October 5th, Sunny.
Yesterday, when I returned from East City, I passed by Huping Mountain and suddenly remembered that before the Spiritual Qi's resurgence, Huping Mountain was the first place where the Spiritual Vein began to resurface!
Although the Yao Beasts that emerged from Huping Mountain at that time were only at the Elementary level, they still caused quite a bit of trouble for the officials.
Since I was passing by, I simply went to take a look, wanting to find out if there was anything special about Huping Mountain. After all, before the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi's resurgence in the future, the first place where a Spiritual Vein resurfaces must have its unique qualities!
But I never expected that after entering Huping Mountain, I would discover that the Spiritual Qi permeating the entire mountain range was more than ten times that of the outside world!
Huping Mountain's Spiritual Vein has already resurfaced!!
I remember it was two years later that a large number of Yao Beasts appeared in Huping Mountain, which then drew everyone's attention, and everyone believed that the changes in Huping Mountain began at that time.
However, at that time, chaos began to occur frequently in various places, and the officials' attention was almost entirely focused on another more important matter, so they hastily concluded on Huping Mountain's situation.
Thinking about it now, it's indeed not right. Although it was two years later that a large number of low-level Yao Beasts were reported to have emerged from Huping Mountain; how could so many Yao Beasts appear as soon as the Spiritual Vein began to resurface!
But if it was an accumulation over two years, then all these problems can be explained.
There are countless types and quantities of animals in the Huping Mountain range. After two years of Spiritual Qi's cleansing, some animals would gradually transform into Yao Beasts.
The emergence of a large number of low-level Yao Beasts from Huping Mountain is, after all, the accumulation of these two years!
Having figured this out, I searched Huping Mountain, but found nothing special.
Could it be that my current strength is too low, or my Opportunity is insufficient, which is why I can't find it?
Never mind, when I go back, I'll get some Materials and come back to set up a Spirit-Trapping Array in Huping Mountain to ensure that the Yao Beasts born there in the future cannot get out!
Today's diary temporarily stops here.
As for Li Mu mentioning Huping Mountain in his diary, he naturally had his purpose, especially the last few paragraphs.
This was tantamount to directly telling the officials that Huping Mountain's Spiritual Vein had resurfaced, being the first Spiritual Vein to resurface before the Spiritual Qi's resurgence, but not the only one.
And there was also the mention of another more important matter two years later!
This is a foreshadowing; Li Mu hasn't yet decided what event to insert there.
After all, in the current situation where changes are happening every day, directly arranging a major event to happen two years later is not very realistic.
Li Mu himself isn't entirely sure what the transformed two years will look like.
Let alone arranging a major event for two years later!
So, let the Grand Elder and the others guess what the more important matter two years later will be.
After closing the System, Li Mu let out a long sigh of relief, and his mind returned to the information about Shi Niang that he had seen through Appraisal yesterday.
Involuntarily, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Mu thought for a moment, since there was nothing else to do right now, he might as well go to Shi Niang's place again, and perhaps build up their relationship.
In the cultivation simulation, Shi Niang, who had accompanied him for decades, was truly a perfect wife.
She celebrated with him when he was happy, and knew how to comfort him when he was down; before every mission, she could calmly help him analyze things, reducing a lot of danger and trouble for him.
He felt that it would be a pity to give up on such a woman!
After all, the System was even trying to bring them together, having specially sent a diary copy to Shi Niang.
Thinking of this, the smile on Li Mu's face grew wider. He then cast an invisibility spell on himself and prepared to head to Shi Niang's City.
But the very next second, Li Mu's brows began to furrow slightly.
Because he discovered that after a night of Alchemy yesterday, the Spiritual Qi in his body was almost depleted!
Although a round trip to Shi Niang's place was still manageable, it made Li Mu think of some things.
His current Cultivation was still too low; he had just reached Perfection in Refining Qi, and the Spiritual Qi reserves in his body were still too small.
If his Cultivation was high, such a small matter wouldn't even count as consumption!
He then shook his head, temporarily shaking these thoughts out of his mind, and then flew towards Shi Niang's City.
...
Inside an office building in the center of Chengyang City.
Shi Niang was busy at her workstation, while her colleagues occasionally chatted about yesterday's Dragon incident in East City.
They would also occasionally pull Shi Niang into the conversation and gossip about her.
Ever since her female colleague at the workstation next to Shi Niang spread the news that Shi Niang had a boyfriend yesterday, all the men in the company became uneasy.
When she entered the company today, she felt the atmosphere was really a bit strange; everyone was looking at her.
Especially those men, their eyes were more downcast than the last, making her get goosebumps all over.
Now, sitting at her workstation and hearing everyone talking about her again, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Compared to yesterday when she first heard the gossip and felt a bit shy, she was now used to it.
"Shi Niang, is your boyfriend handsome?"
Shi Niang: "..."
Shi Niang looked at the female colleague who asked the question with an expectant expression and said helplessly, "I've said it many times, he's not my boyfriend, at least not yet!"
"Then is he pursuing you?"
"No!"
"Then why were you shy yesterday when I asked you about it?"
The female colleague next to her leaned over, with an expression that said, "I don't believe you."
This time, Shi Niang was stuck. How was she supposed to explain this?
Should she say that it's because she saw in his diary that she would marry him and live together for decades in the future?
If she said that, her colleagues would probably think she had delusional disorder.
"It's just that this topic has never been discussed about me before, so..."
Before she could finish, the company's receptionist walked over, excitedly saying, "Shi Niang, Shi Niang, there's a super handsome young man looking for you outside!"
The female colleagues around her: "!!!"
Their gazes all turned to Shi Niang...
