After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 261 The Paper Shuttle That Drills Underground
While the spiritual energy in other places sometimes surged and sometimes calmed down, the surge of spiritual energy in Xiaozhushan lasted for a full five years before it finally calmed down completely.

Even though the spiritual energy gift for advancing to the White Spirit Rank has ended, the spiritual energy in Xiaozhushan is still abundant, as it has accumulated a great deal of spiritual energy over the past few years.

Moreover, at this time, we have not yet fully entered the later stage of the spiritual energy tide, and there are still occasional natural global surges of spiritual energy.

Whenever this happens, Song Miaozhu's ability to attract spiritual energy causes a surge of spiritual energy to erupt in Xiaozhu Mountain.

Moreover, there are several spirit houses on the mountain, filled with spirit-gathering dolls that are gathering spiritual energy for her!
The mountain has an inexhaustible supply of condensed liquid spiritual energy, and the treasury contains several mountains of top-grade spirit stones. Song Miaozhu is no longer so concerned about the surge and calm of the spiritual energy.

She focused more on absorbing the craftsman's memories from the spirit, comprehending the spirituality within the spirit, creating new methods of spirit infusion, and crafting the most suitable paper offering medium for it.

In recent years, "The Secret Art of Paper Crafting" has added many new paper crafting patterns, each representing a new method of paper crafting with spiritual power.

Once the paper offering is made, it's not enough to just use the Spirit Mirror for authentication; it also needs to be tested in person to determine how to use it to achieve the best results.

Therefore, in recent years, the practitioners at the foot of the mountain have been able to witness "big commotion" at Xiaozhushan every few months.

Giant fire dragons suddenly appeared in the winter fog, turning the ancient town in the distance into summer as if it had skipped winter; under a clear blue sky, dark clouds suddenly appeared from Xiaozhushan Mountain, and a dense rain drenched Xiaozhushan and Yunwushan Mountain, causing the Xiaolijiang River, which was in its dry season, to suddenly rise; at night, tens of thousands of slender black shadows suddenly appeared from Xiaozhushan Mountain, dancing wildly in the moonlight; Xiaozhushan Mountain had been dilapidated for a long time, its defensive function almost non-existent, with the barbed wire fence serving only as a marker sometimes gleaming gold and sometimes covered in rust...

The practitioners looked at Xiaozhushan and then at themselves, and suddenly felt the gap between them. The rumors that Master Song Miaozhu had become an immortal also spread more and more.

Even the Bureau of Spirits Investigation couldn't sit still anymore.

While paying the rent for a new five-year underworld warehouse, Zhao Huoyan finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master Song, have you really become an immortal?!"

When Song Miaozhu saw the sentence on her phone screen in the video sent by the little paper servant, she looked puzzled: "What makes you think becoming an immortal is so easy? I was just testing new spiritual objects. Didn't I sell a large batch of spiritual souls with the same function to you?"

When Zhao Huoyan relayed the message back to the Bureau of Spirits, everyone felt both relieved and somewhat heartbroken.

Without becoming immortals, everyone remains a cultivator.

However, the gap between these cultivators is far too great.

They dared not ask Master Song what her current cultivation level was, what kind of spiritual object she was experimenting with, or why the spiritual objects they bought with the same function were far less effective than those she had experimented with. They knew it would be pointless to ask.

If she's willing to talk, she'll offer them a good price even without being asked; if she's unwilling to talk, asking will only be pointless.

No one knows what level of cultivation she has reached, or how many key or dangerous spiritual items she has mastered.

The nation's cultural relics are now well preserved thanks to her relationship with the underworld, and no one would dare to displease her.

Song Miaozhu only temporarily diverted some attention to maintaining the business relationship with the Spirit Investigation Bureau before quickly returning to her own affairs.

In recent years, she has not sold any new types of paper offerings to the Department of Spirits, nor has she sold any paper offerings that she made herself.

However, she didn't lose any money in either the underworld or the mortal realm. Selling spirit souls brought in a large sum of money, and the business of selling paper clothes for the dead and paper dolls for gathering spirits not only didn't shrink but actually expanded. This was because she now had a thousand little paper servants under her command, whose spirituality was high enough to create paper dolls for gathering spirits and those of a lower level.

Even if their skill level is not as good as hers, a few of them working together can still produce paper offerings of decent quality, which is enough to support the paper offering transactions of the underworld ghost shop, Song Miaozhu, and the Spirit Investigation Bureau, and is even higher than her previous daily output.

Song Miaozhu used the free time to study new methods of spirit infusion and paper crafting.

She has also made great progress. She once admired the cultivators of the previous era who were able to master the Five Elements techniques, and now she can also make paper offerings that work.

In recent years, she has created the Chixiao Paper Fire Fan, which can fan out fire dragons and ignite firewood; the Xuanming Paper Water Lantern, which can create giant waves on flat ground and condense rain clouds to bring rain; the Qingluo Paper Vine Staff, which can control the growth or attack of plants; and the Gilded Hollow Paper Ball, which can coat objects or paper offerings with a diamond-like appearance.

It was these things that made other cultivators think she had already become an immortal.

In reality, it's just a difference in cultivation level and skill level.

The same spirit can be made into different spiritual objects by different cultivators. However, due to differences in cultivation level, skill level, and understanding of the spirit, the compatibility of the chosen spiritual object carrier will vary, and the abilities that the spiritual object can exert will also be affected.

The spiritual objects she created were all made from the most suitable carriers. Her research on spiritual souls had been so profound that she had summarized her own method of spiritual infusion. She even used spiritual power at the White Spirit level to perform the infusion, so the quality of these spiritual objects was naturally much higher.

Using this spiritual object with a White Spirit level cultivation level will naturally unleash its formidable power.

She recently invented a paper shuttle that can burrow underground and cut through mountains.

She only took the time to answer Zhao Huoyan's question because of the RMB that the Spirit Investigation Bureau had contributed to her; otherwise, she would have been testing new spiritual items long ago.

After confirming that the paper shuttle's ability as identified by the Spirit Mirror was as she had predicted, Song Miaozhu couldn't wait to leave the spirit house.

They also made sure to bring the green paper vine cane to avoid the tree roots on the ground.

Song Miaozhu stood under the old locust tree, holding the green paper rattan cane in her left hand and the earth-burrowing paper shuttle in her right, mobilizing her spiritual energy.

Centered on her, the tree roots slowly moved away, leaving only soil beneath her feet. The spiritual light emanating from the burrowing paper shuttle enveloped her and carried her underground.

Contrary to expectations, Song Miaozhu felt that the surrounding soil and water were as soft and clear as they were.

The only obstacles, tree roots and bamboo roots, were pushed aside by the green vine and paper cane, and the paper shuttle carrying her through the soil moved as smoothly as a fish swimming in water.

As they continued downwards, reaching the rock layer inaccessible to tree and bamboo roots, Song Miaozhu suddenly felt a bright light before her eyes.

The sight before her eyes startled her so much that she almost lost the spiritual energy she was channeling into the underground paper shuttle.

The earthy smell and suffocating sensation immediately overwhelmed Song Miaozhu, who quickly maintained her spiritual energy input to alleviate the discomfort.
