Chapter 518: #518 - Idleness

When the dust settled, a majestic mountain suddenly emerged from the originally undulating terrain of Zouma Mountain.

This mountain overlapped the other mountains, appearing very abrupt.

Jiang Wen glanced at the steep mountain, took out a jade bottle, and poured it towards the ruins of the former Joyful Abode, absorbing countless demonic mists into it.

After completing all of this, he didn't linger any longer.

He would fly back later to collapse the mountain, otherwise it would be difficult for people to see the ruins of the Joyful Abode beneath it.

Sensing Jiang Wen's return, the cat demon immediately straightened its body, its eyes looking at him, with a hint of nervousness in its expression.

"Daoist Master, you're finally back. I seemed to hear thunder just now, wave after wave. Even an earthquake came, almost scaring me to death," Shen Yueshu said, describing the situation just now, with an uneasy expression on her face.

"You said there was thunder and an earthquake here, could something have happened? Daoist Master, did you see anything when you went out just now?" Shen Yueshu said, looking around Jiang Wen. When she realized someone was missing, she stared at him intently.

"Where's Bai Jie?"

"Bai Jing has already returned, telling us not to wait for her," Jiang Wen replied. Then he looked at the cat demon, a kind smile on his face.

"Meow—!" The cat demon couldn't help but be startled by his gaze. After all, this Daoist's abilities were not small, and it couldn't defeat him at all. However, the Daoist had the aura of the leopard cat clan, which made the cat demon a little uneasy.

Seeing the cat demon so hostile, Jiang Wen didn't hide anything. He reached out and conjured a few cat hairs, sending them to the cat demon's face.

"I went to that place just now and found your clansmen, but a few have already been eaten by that dragon snake. I rescued the rest, and you can see them when you return to the Daoist temple with me," Jiang Wen said briefly, resolving the doubts in the cat demon's heart.

When the cat demon heard that its clansmen had not all died, a smile appeared on its face.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen said to the cat demon: "What is your name? Are you willing to submit to me?"

"Meow." The cat demon called out, opening its mouth to test its voice. "I, I, my name is Yin."

"You can speak human language?" Jiang Wen was a little surprised, not expecting the cat demon in front of him to have reached such a level that it could learn to speak.

"Ah ah! You can actually speak! Then didn't you understand everything I said just now?!" Shen Yueshu was shocked, with an uneasy expression on her face. She secretly glanced at Jiang Wen, then quickly lowered her head.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Wen, no matter how foolish, could understand what this girl had said to the cat demon just now. It was nothing more than some bad things about him, right? He didn't think he had that much charm to be confessed to.

Ignoring Shen Yueshu's entanglement, Jiang Wen looked at the cat demon again and said: "The dragon snake is dead, and your destination is no longer there. There's no other way than to go back first, so why not follow me."

After hearing these words, the cat demon nodded repeatedly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Jiang Wen a few times, considering it as acknowledging him as its master.

Jiang Wen didn't delay, waving his hand to send the cat demon Yin into the Realm Bead.

Looking at the uneasy Shen Yueshu beside him, he couldn't help but smile and say: "Did you say some bad things about me just now, and that's why you're so uneasy now?"

"No, I would never say bad things about you," Shen Yueshu quickly explained.

"Then why don't you dare look at me?"

"I just, just said some things that weren't you…" She had no choice but to confess her mistakes in a low voice. She said that she was just complaining to the cat demon, saying that Jiang Wen, even as an immortal, didn't dare to fly around randomly, and still took a plane to Nan Province, and didn't let her experience the feeling of flying.

Hearing these words, Jiang Wen chuckled. He reached out and summoned a flying sword, letting it float in front of him.

"You like flying so much?" he said.

"Who doesn't like flying! If I had the ability, I would fly over everything wherever I went," Shen Yueshu said confidently. For her, flying was indeed something she dreamed of.

Ask anyone in this world, who doesn't like carefree flying, but isn't that impossible? If she had Jiang Wen's abilities, she would have flown all over the world long ago.

"Do you really like flying?" Jiang Wen asked, looking at Shen Yueshu. He didn't mind flying back. The reason he took a plane was just to bring the old farmer back.

"Like, like!" Shen Yueshu nodded repeatedly. "Since that's the case, we'll fly back when we return," Jiang Wen agreed to Shen Yueshu's request.

As soon as these words fell, Shen Yueshu jumped up excitedly. Overjoyed, she hugged Jiang Wen's neck and jumped up and down.

"That's great! Daoist Master, you're so good!!"

"Now that you know I'm good, why don't you get down?" Jiang Wen said with slight disdain. "The rain in Nan Province will fall for a few days, and my business here is considered done. Since I've come all this way, why not look around."

"Yay!" Shen Yueshu cheered again.

"Did you ask for leave from school?"

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem."

"Mm."

Jiang Wen didn't say anything more, returning to his room, closing the door, and sitting cross-legged on the bed, counting his gains.

This trip to Nan Province had yielded quite a few things. In addition to the group of cat demons, there was also the body of the true dragon Zhuming and the chains that trapped Zhuming.

These were all excellent materials for refining artifacts, even extremely rare in the Great Qian Dynasty.

As for the body of the big snake, he had also collected it. After returning to the Daoist temple, he would refine it into pills and give them to the cat demons to eat.

Since the big snake could eat cat demons, then there was no problem with the cat demons eating pills made from the big snake.

The remaining things were some secrets from the ancient era. Jiang Wen knew that the value of this information was no less than the body of the true dragon.

"If there's a chance, I really want to go to that chaotic void again to take a look," Jiang Wen muttered to himself.

… …

The next day, after breakfast, the heavy rain outside had begun to weaken.

The rain had fallen for a day and a night, and the ground was full of mud.

The originally dry pond was now full of water, and the lotus leaves were springing upwards with the arrival of the rain.

The withered yellow places were filled with green, and the whole world was rejuvenated.

"Thank you, True Immortal, for summoning the rain." The old village chief respectfully bowed to Jiang Wen, then handed over a black bag.

He was born in the early days of the People's Republic of China, and had seen many strange things.

The old village chief had never seen anyone who could compare with the young Daoist in front of him. He only felt that the Daoist was extraordinary and not an ordinary Daoist.

Such people should be respected, at least the ability to summon wind and rain was amazing.

Jiang Wen opened the bag and saw several stacks of paper money inside. One stack was ten thousand yuan, totaling fifty thousand.

"Old Village Chief, isn't this a bit too much?" Jiang Wen accepted the bag, sighed softly, and looked at the old village chief.

The economy of Nan Province was already poor, and this remote small village was even worse.

To be able to take out this 50,000 yuan as remuneration, presumably every household in the village had contributed money.

The old village chief took a puff of smoke and then said to Jiang Wen: "True Immortal, please don't refuse, it's all the villagers' wishes. Everyone saw what happened yesterday, if it weren't for True Immortal summoning the rain, how could it have suddenly rained? It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan, just consider it as filial piety to the immortals. It's just a pity that the villagers are all poor and can't afford too much money."

"Alright, I'll accept it then." Jiang Wen didn't refuse anymore, he knew it would be meaningless to refuse any further.

After putting away the money, the two chatted about some other topics.
