Chapter 272 Modern Mountain God 16

"There should be only one in ten thousand mountains left, big or small. But the place we're looking for is the most likely to have mountain spirits. Moreover, the mountains and rivers have been formed over countless millennia. Now, for personal gain, people can completely destroy the mountains in a few months, causing our accumulated spiritual energy to disappear, our spirits to dissipate, and survival to become increasingly difficult."

"Spiritual energy? Why can't I feel it at all?" She used to be able to feel at least a little bit in her birthplace, but now she can't feel it at all.

"It's gone. Maybe you can still feel it a little bit in the deep mountains and forests."

This climb took more than two hours. Wen Na's body was truly exhausted from lack of exercise. "You dig the hole yourself. I really don't have the energy."

"No need to dig a hole. If it invites me to be its guest, it will definitely come out to meet me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small stone man the size of a palm emerged from the ground.

"I'm Xiao Luanshan. What's your name? Why did you bring a human to see me?"

"My name is Wen Yuan. She is not an outsider. She is the daughter of this body of mine."

"How do you have a human body? Could it be that you possessed someone else?" After carefully sensing it, he said, "It's not a living body, and there's no death energy. It's not a zombie either. What is this thing?"

"I don't know either. My body was completely destroyed. I need a body to live. This corpse happened to be buried next to me, and I have been nurturing it with my Origin. Finally, its aura became closer and closer to mine. I consumed a lot of merit and luck to completely merge it with this body. Now I am also consuming the power of my Origin to nourish this body."

"Brother Wen Yuan, you are really amazing. What brings you here to see me?"

"Nothing, just checking to see if there are any living creatures on this mountain. I want to find the ownerless origin to prolong my life."

These words startled Xiao Luanshan. This big brother was here to steal his essence. He quickly jumped half a meter away and said, "You can't take my essence away."

Qiuqiu was amazed as he listened to this. He wondered why these two guys were so direct in their words.

"I won't take away your source energy. I am the essence of blessed earth. Doing anything that damages my destiny is a waste of my life."

Xiao Luanshan trembled and moved back, "That's good, your new body is really tall, you can travel around, but I can only wander around in the mountain."

"I can wander around, but I'm like a rootless duckweed, unable to draw strength from the earth. I don't know when I'll dissipate."

"Then I won't contribute my original power to you."

"I don't want it. What's the matter with you calling me here? I see you're still full of vitality, there's nothing wrong with you."

"I have something you can help me with, and I'll pay you."

"I don't lack money or worldly things," Wen Yuan said lightly.

Qiuqiu, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to tell me first? The reward should be what Wen Yuan needs. If you can use me in any way, you can give me some vulgar things as a token of your appreciation."

They were truly short of money. After searching most of the province's mountains, they found only three that had condensed the essence; the rest were dead mountains. To search in mountainous areas would require taking a plane, and their meager savings simply weren't enough.

Xiao Luanshan turned his gaze towards Qiuqiu and gave him a look that said, "You're very sensible." "There's a Yin Cave in the shade of my mountain. Many wandering ghosts have settled there, and they can be considered the living creatures of my mountain. A few days ago, a century-old ghost, by some unknown chance, was able to leave the mountain and follow a woman."

"What's so special about that ghost? Why can that woman withstand the ghost energy of a century-old ghost? Most importantly, why do you raise a ghost?" Qiuqiu was really crazy.

"I am a naturally generated mountain spirit. Solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot produce life. The balance of yin and yang is the most basic. You see the yang side is covered with lush trees, while the shady side is bare. This is unbalanced. The yang side nourishes flowers, plants and trees, while the shady side is filled with rich yin energy, forming yin caves. Raising some lonely ghosts can also help me consume the excess yin energy." He spoke as if these wild ghosts were helping you metabolize.

"What's going on with that old ghost? He's a creature we raised on the mountain. How could he follow someone else without our permission?"

Xiao Luanshan hesitated a little, "I didn't put any restrictions on them. They just gathered around the Yin acupoint automatically, just like when they were alive."

After all this talk, that old ghost is just staying with you temporarily and is free to come and go, so why are you still looking for it?

"After cultivating here for a long time, they belong to me. I support their growth, and if they run away and do evil, I also have some responsibility."

"What does this have to do with you?" Qiuqiu asked in confusion.

"If you fail to manage your subordinates well and something goes wrong, you must take responsibility."

Wen Yuan didn't want to see them arguing, so he quickly asked, "What special ability did that old ghost awaken? And what's going on with that woman who followed him?"

Xiao Luanshan was quite reliable: "That woman should be a pure Yin body, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted the old ghost's attention. The old ghost has awakened the ability to predict."

Wen Yuan and Qiuqiu were both a little serious. This omen seemed useless, but as long as the right entry point was found, the damage caused could be quite great.

"Give me the breath of that woman, and I'll help you solve it."

Seeing that Wen Yuan was about to complete the transaction, he hurriedly asked: "Xiao Luanshan, what is your reward to Wen Yuan? It is really difficult for us to complete such a difficult task. You can only provide the time and breath of the woman passing by here. Where can we find her in such a vast sea of ​​people?" So the reward must be enough.

Xiao Luanshan was quite honest. "My mountain isn't very big, but it was able to condense into shape because I swallowed a dissipated stone heart. It's in the square at the foot of the mountain. There are many stone sculptures of various shapes there, and the stone heart is inside one of them. I can tell you the location of the mountain where the dissipated stone heart is. The stone heart has a lot of overflowing power, and you can obtain it."

"How much energy has been released? I don't know if it has been completely released yet."

"How can you be so unreasonable, girl? The original power within the mountain won't dissipate completely in a hundred years. Moreover, that stone heart can condense my form. The remaining power can sustain his body for eight or ten years."

"A Stone Heart might last for eight to ten years, but with only one-third of its original power, it can only last for three years at most. Is that 30% of original power a backup plan that the Stone Heart has left?"

"That's right. I devoured his original stone heart. If it grows stronger than me in the future, it can devour me in return. It's better for you to go over and destroy it while it's weak."

"You are such a dishonest little Shan, how can you be so deep in your thoughts?"

Qiuqiu knew that Wen Yuan had the ability to read minds, and Xiao Luanshan couldn't gain any advantage, so he still felt a little fooled. He was just being used as a gun.
