78: Arranged clearly

On the other side, inside the Cave Heaven Small World, Li Mu, who had been observing Yang Zheng through the System, showed a satisfied smile as he watched the scene displayed in the System's video.

This was precisely the effect he wanted.

After reading Yang Zheng's information earlier, Li Mu had been pondering how to arrange Yang Zheng's next steps.

And once the System deciphered the information within that blueprint, Li Mu immediately put it to use.

He spent one Deception Point to purchase an item from the System Store that could directly reveal the answer on the blueprint.

However, Li Mu set it up so that the effect would only appear when the diary touched the blueprint!

After all, this way, combined with Yang Zheng's current mindset and his thoughts at the moment, the effect would be even better.

As for the items his father left for Yang Zheng decades ago and the Spiritual Qi resurgence only appearing half a month ago, the time discrepancy was fine; it was a minor issue.

He could resolve it with a little manipulation later.

After all, when it came to mysterious matters, he was the one who decided what kind of effect to present!

Li Mu glanced at Linglong, who was sleeping soundly in a Formation not far away, before opening the System Store and searching for the items he needed.

Since his last purchase, he had 250 Deception Points remaining.

After spending one Deception Point just now, he currently had 248 points left!

Although not many, they were entirely sufficient for dealing with Yang Zheng alone.

What surprised Li Mu, however, was why the trust rewards for the three newcomers hadn't refreshed yet.

The other two newcomers hadn't read the diary yet, so they could be ignored.

But with Yang Zheng's current attitude towards the diary, it was safe to say he believed it at least 90%, if not completely!

Li Mu then shook his head, temporarily setting aside that question, and began to focus on finding the items he wanted.

Ultimately, Li Mu chose a Guiding Compass, which also cost only one Deception Point.

The Guiding Compass was indestructible!

Once a location was set, the Guiding Compass would continuously point in that direction until the destination was reached, at which point it would automatically shatter!

Li Mu set the location to an unnamed island deep in the Pacific Ocean, then had the System place the compass among the gold his father had left behind for Yang Zheng.

As the owner of Xia Country's largest shipping company, Yang Zheng had no shortage of sailing experience, making it most convenient for him to find the destination!

Li Mu then had the System mimic Yang Zheng's father's handwriting to write a letter, also leaving it there.

After completing all of this, Li Mu began to lay out the plan for that uninhabited island deep in the Pacific Ocean.

Li Mu intended to give this small island a major overhaul!

After all, in Li Mu's future plans, this island would need to be used multiple times, so a major overhaul now would facilitate future use.

However, he currently only had 248 Deception Points left, so he had to plan carefully how to use them...

Li Mu then opened the System video to view the status of the small island he had chosen in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

This small island was not large, roughly seven to eight square kilometers, about the size of ten football fields.

Although the island was not large, the trees on it were very dense, and it looked very scenic!

Once he had a clear view of the entire island's environment and shape, Li Mu had a plan in mind.

He then began to set up the layout.

He first purchased a mist with a Concealing Formation effect, which enveloped the entire small island, costing only ten Deception Points!

Li Mu then set it so that only those holding the Guiding Compass could pass through the mist successfully.

Those without the Guiding Compass who ventured into the mist would wander around and eventually come back out, never able to enter the small island.

Even the positioning Systems on ships would malfunction the moment they entered the mist!

Having purchased this mist, Li Mu immediately deployed it without a word.

The next second, in the System video, the originally scenic uninhabited island began to be enveloped by a dense white mist.

However, the sky above the small island was not covered by white mist, but even without being covered, it still had the effect of the white mist.

Even if an airplane flew at a low altitude of less than one hundred meters above the small island, the plane would malfunction and crash!

Having done all this, Li Mu did not stop his actions.

He then spent another ten Deception Points to reconfigure the layout of the trees on the small island, arranging them from large to small, according to the Taiji diagram.

One side was full of ancient towering trees, while the other side was full of short, small trees, forming a stark contrast.

The two Yin and Yang fish eyes of the Taiji diagram were transformed by Li Mu into two completely stone-composed architectural ruins.

After completing all of this, Li Mu checked his Deception Point balance; he had 228 points left.

He then stopped, although these Deception Points could still be used to further modify the small island, there was no need to rush for now; he would save them as backup.

He would wait until the rewards for the three newest target individuals arrived, and then continue with the arrangements.

Anyway, even if Yang Zheng was going to that small island, it wouldn't be an instant arrival!

After completing all of this, Li Mu glanced at Linglong, who was still sleeping, then took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

He also took out the Jin Ming Sword and continued to nurture it.

......

One night passed quickly, and it wasn't until around ten o'clock the next morning that Li Mu finally exhausted the Spiritual Qi from the Top-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand.

He then put the Jin Ming Sword back into his body.

However, just as he was about to get up, he saw a pair of astonished eyes on a huge Dragon's head staring at him, clearly indicating: You are lying to me! These words.

Seeing Linglong so energetic, it seemed the effect of the Blood Cleansing Pill had worn off, but Linglong didn't seem to have changed much.

Except...

It seemed to have grown larger and longer; it was now estimated to be seventy to eighty meters in length!

Seeing Linglong's unhappy eyes, Li Mu naturally knew why it was like this; he guessed it saw him using a Spirit Stone to nurture his sword.

However, this did not stump Li Mu; he once again launched into his art of persuasion, leaving Linglong bewildered and confused.

The final conclusion was that Li Mu would help it collect Spirit Stones and charge a small handling fee.

Very reasonable...

Then it became happy again.

Li Mu threw a Top-Grade Spirit Stone to it, Linglong held it in its mouth, then happily curled up to digest the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stone.

After persuading Linglong, Li Mu opened the diary page, thought for a moment about what he wanted to write today, and then immediately began to edit...
