After Little Fury was done settling the little brothers down, it staggered back home. It saw Lu Shu standing at the doorway looking at itself with a funny smile just as it leapt into the yard. Frightened, Little Fury leapt out again...
"Come back!" Lu Shu's face darkened instantly."Am I that scary?"
Little Fury was unhappy. Whether you are scary or not, don't you have the slightest idea?
Lu Shu saw Little Fury taking its time shuffling up to him and smiled, "Try not to publicise your capabilities, or else some people in Luo Cheng may take notice of you. Try your best to study the powers you possess now and see to what extent can you control dreams. However, as much as you can, don't beat up people anymore."
Little Fury quickly nodded. Lu Shu continued, "Using the power you have, you are still too deliberate when infiltrating into the dreams of others. I hope you can evolve the dreams into more realistic ones. If even those who are consciously guarding against infiltration think that they are dreaming, that will be the best."
To Lu Shu, he had suspected something was wrong when the fatigue hit him. Therefore, he did not feel that he was in a dream even when dreaming and felt like a bystander.
Ordinary people like Li Qingyu may fall for it, but Lu Shu, never.
If Little Fury could make the dreamland more realistic, it may be highly useful in the future.
...
Lu Shu went into the house and entered the Seal of Lands. His consciousness walked across the giant skybridge built for him by the Seal and ascended to the sky above Luo Cheng. He was enjoying a bird's eye view of the entire vista. Magical energy on the ground was enshrouding the city like mist, yet was more energetic and pulsating than any mist.
At the relics of the Beimang remains, immense magical energy rise into the air like steam. That was the choice site of the Heavenly Network.
No wonder they chose the site. Lu Shu thought initially that the magical energy would dissipate and disappear, but along with the end of the remains, the place became instead a blessed land.
Now, Lu Shu could still see the place sealed according to martial law. The military tents were still not removed.
Once in a while, a few familiar Heavenly Network fighters would appear. It seemed like they would gather here for their cultivation every night.
When the fighters first started practice, the density of magical energy was still poor, resulting in their slow progress.
Now, the speed of magical energy rejuvenation was increasing, and some students were fast surpassing the fighters. The Heavenly Network could not ignore this issue.
No matter whether was it fighting prowess or the state of their capabilities, the Heavenly Network fighters were still having an upper hand. Moreover, they were trained as the key points of the plan to promote all areas by drawing upon the experiences of specific points. Such was the logic of the veterans mentoring the newcomers.
However, it would be really embarrassing if they became weaker than the students.
This was why there was a restriction of achievements. On one hand, it was so that the students of Daoyuan Class would be daring and fearless in battles. On the other, it was to ensure the stability of the overall situation.
The overall situation, was of utmost importance.
Perhaps they could open up the cultivation technique and allow them to cultivate as they wish, but if there were conflicts internally so soon, having so many powerful practitioners would only spell disaster.
或许现在可以直接开放功法, 让他们修行个痛快, 可如果内部提前乱了, 要那么多实力高强的修行者只能是祸患.
...
Overlooking the lands of Luo Cheng, if not for this move, Lu Shu would probably not discover: the magical energy now was slightly stronger than the previous time he entered the Seal of Lands.
Not just any particular area, but the whole of Luo Cheng was so.
As expected, the periodic rejuvenation of magical energy was still ongoing.
Lu Shu looked at a lone villa beside the Luo River. That was where Jiang Shuyi was staying alone. The Jiang family did not seem to be staying there. It was only Jiang Shuyi, who needed the cultivation, would go there everyday after school.
This was the famed blessed landin Luo Cheng. Lu Shu took a look around and concluded that, indeed, other than certain ancient jungles, there were not many places with as strong a magical presence as this villa.
Tonight, Lu Shu wanted to enhance the magical energy at Jiang Shuyi's villa. He wanted the energy level here to be stronger; it should at least be on par with the level at the remains right?
Before the summer break, the two experts from the capital who could feel constitutions left futile after a few months of experience. They went straight back to report on it. This was basically the greatest threat.
However, Lu Shu was not particularly worried. What he planned to alter tonight was more than just these. He still understood the adage of how a single truth among many falsehoods could confound one's vision.
Moreover, Jiang Shuyi was now not in Luo Cheng. There were people in the Heavenly Network to prove his alibi. Lu Shu's mind was of course set at ease.
In a split second thought, Lu Shu did not frighten the residents. Who knew if there may be a person in the midst of practice in any of the units. To end their path of cultivation for no reason was not a nice thing to do. All he gathered was the energy on the streets, since nobody would practice while sitting on the streets.
The transfer of magical energy occurred very slowly. Lu Shu was very patient.
From start to end, much changes were made before he could bring it to Jiang Shuyi's place.
It took a full hour for Lu Shu to increase the level of magical energy at Jiang Shuyi's villa to that of Beimang remains...
"Want to add a little more?"
"Let's add some more..."
"Yes, some more..."
Lu Shu chattered alone above Luo Cheng and finally regard his finished work in satisfaction. This should be enough for Jiang Shuyi's cultivation right? It felt as though the magical stones would not even be needed...
Only then did Lu Shu finally feel at ease enough to go to bed.
...
Seven days later, Jiang Shuyi emerged from the Beimang airport brimming with life. When he arrived, a sedan was already awaiting him outside. The chauffeur asked as he got in, "Going to the place of cultivation or back home?"
"Let's go to the place of cultivation, " Jiang Shuyi replied.
The sedan made its way over to the solitary villa. Jiang Shuyi suddenly asked, "Nothing much going on in Luo Cheng recently right?"
"Nothing, " the chauffeur replied with a smile.
But they both were stunned when they arrived at the villa...
Looking at the grass in the lawn which had grown to over two metres tall, the two men were shocked to realise that the entrance to the villa was totally hidden.
What was the situation. He had left for only few days, and the grass look as if they had been abandoned and desolate for a dozen years. How fast the grass grew!
Not only that, even the indoor plants in the villa was the same. Jiang Shuyi looked up to see every window of the villa overgrown from the inside out with plants. The roof was already broken through by the plants!
Jiang Shuyi, dumbfounded, parted the grass with his hands and walked to the door. He realised in shock that the walls were full of small cracks! Weeds had begun to grow tenaciously out of the walls. The plants could actually pry open the mortar joints!
Jiang Shuyi inserted the key into the keyhole of the main door, only to realise that the door was so badly deformed that opening it was difficult. Still, Jiang Shuyi was powerful and with a smash, brought the door down...
Yes... the whole door came down...
"Something is wrong, " Jiang Shuyi grabbed his chauffeur's collar and raced to the back.
Crash!
The whole villa collapsed. A potted plant in the house actually broke through the vase with its roots, went beneath the floor and took root in the soil. It then went on to become a towering, strange tree!
"What the heck..." Jiang Shuyi took the environment with a stunned face.
"From Jiang Shuyi's distress, +999!"
