Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 247 The sky is bright and the earth is clear; the demon will forever remember this moment.
Under the moonlight, the earth and stones along the roadside were still falling in a soft rustling sound.

With his sleeves billowing, Chen Xu flew backwards along the rocky mountain path, like a graceful crane.

But each of his setbacks was like a miracle.

But the earth and rocks that were pushed down disappeared into thin air and were quickly piled up on the other side of the narrow mountain path, continuously raising and widening it.

With the expansion of the mountainside on the left, this originally narrow and dangerous mountain path gradually became a smooth and wide foundation.

Wei Yuan sat on Chen Xu's shoulders, utterly shocked: "Brother Chen, you actually built a road for the villagers. You not only thought of it, but you also acted on it. This...this kind of magnanimity and conduct, I...I am truly..."

It couldn't express its specific feelings, only that it was extremely shocked.

An indescribable surge of emotion filled its chest, unlike any other moving experience it had ever had.

Wei Yuan felt as if his entire demonic life had been baptized and sublimated at this moment.

It opened its eyes wide, carefully memorizing the scene before it.

The little hedgehog thought that no matter what level it could cultivate to in its lifetime, it would probably never forget everything that happened under the moon, in this mountain, at this moment.

It has a thousand words to say, but at this moment it is speechless and tongue-tied.

Unbeknownst to Wei Yuan, the tray ghost, whose words had just been stolen by it, was inwardly screaming "Ah!" It regretted that it was too slow to speak and couldn't match the hedgehog's quick tongue.

Wei Yuan hated his own inarticulateness, while the tray ghost hated its silver tongue for stealing his words.

Wei Yuan stammered, only managing to get halfway through his sentence before failing to fully express his heartfelt emotions.

The tray-carrying ghost finally straightened its tongue and screamed, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how can there be such a compassionate and virtuous person as Your Majesty in this world!"

Waaah... Your Majesty, this humble ghost has lived for a hundred years and this is the first time I have ever seen a cultivator willing to condescend to use magic to repair a road.

Your magnanimity is the greatest I have ever seen in my life, and your brilliance surpasses even the moonlight at this moment!
No, although the radiance of the sun and moon can illuminate the world, how can it shine on this remote little village like you do?

Waaah... Back when I was alive, if any divine being were willing to build a road for my village... I, I would dedicate everything day and night to erect a shrine for you.

Pray in life, follow in death, sob sob sob..."

It cried and shouted, truly taking the art of flattery to its extreme, even in the face of life and death.

It was clearly speaking flattering words, some of which were so exaggerated that Chen Xu couldn't bear to listen to them closely. Yet, the little hedgehog listened to the tray ghost's words and nodded seriously in agreement.

Just as Chen Xu was at a loss for words, about to scold the tray ghost and tell it to shut up, he heard Wei Yuan say in a serious tone: "That's exactly right."

Brother Chen, I am a mountain spirit, and I have seen countless remote villages.

I know best that the poverty in many mountain villages is often due to the difficult mountain roads.

Although I had studied the classics with my teacher for a long time, I never thought of helping people by building roads.

The teacher said, "When you are successful, you should help others; when you are unsuccessful, you should cultivate your own virtue."

I am a lowly demon with meager magical powers, and I have never thought of helping the world.

I thought that if I could keep myself in the best of a good position, I would be doing justice to my teacher's teachings.

Looking back now, I realize I was being too narrow-minded.

Although I am a minor demon and cannot save the world, if I see a rock in front of me and reach out to move it, how can that not be considered a good deed?
"Do not refrain from doing good because it is small; this is what a scholar should do."

After saying that, Wei Yuan suddenly jumped off Chen Xu's shoulder.

Then it landed amidst the flying dirt and stones, and a pair of small hands quickly formed hand seals to cast a spell.

"The stones of the earth, level them!"

The little hedgehog gave a crisp shout, and a faint, yellowish-brown light appeared beneath its feet. Then, the light slowly and evenly spread forward and backward along the road.

Wherever the faint light passed, the road that Chen Xu had already leveled with his bulldozing technique became even more solid.

In the moonlight, the solid road seemed to have a hard, glossy sheen, like that of mountain rocks.

It turns out that Wei Yuan was originally a little demon who was extremely skilled in earth magic. His earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) was superb, and solidifying the mountain path was no problem for him at this moment.

Although its magical power is still shallow, it has gained considerable endurance due to its exquisite application of techniques.

Furthermore, the more Wei Yuan cast spells, the more he discovered that his use of magic seemed to suddenly become more proficient.

In this environment, it is able to accomplish more with less magical power.

Wei Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and the more he cast the spell, the more powerful it became.

It strides forward, leaping and bounding along the mountain path, making each section of the path feel more solid beneath its feet.

Little Mouse Ashi squatted on Chen Xu's sleeve and watched this scene, gradually becoming somewhat stunned.

Unlike Wei Yuan, it did not have a profound understanding of the significance of road construction.

But watching Wei Yuan run down to help Chen Xu, it remained huddled in Chen Xu's sleeve, doing nothing—

How could Ah Shi possibly stay there any longer?

Even though it felt its body was still somewhat weak, it could no longer restrain itself.

It hurriedly crawled out of Chen Xu's sleeve, first running to Chen Xu's neck, then closing its two rat paws and quickly chanting an incantation:

"The sky is bright, the earth is clear, the wind is gentle, and the rain is continuous..."

The mouse's spell is quite interesting.

Most interestingly, as the incantation was completed, a tiny breeze suddenly blew over.

A gentle breeze carried a fine mist, its clear droplets drifting towards Chen Xu, bringing him an exceptionally refreshing coolness.

To be honest, this is just a mouse casting a spell.

If it were any other person or demon, Chen Xu would never have allowed this tiny wisp of rain to reach him.

But as the rain and mist hit his face, Chen Xu suddenly felt the speed of the true qi circulating in his dantian increase slightly.

An extraordinary sense of freshness, carried by the rain and mist, seeped into Chen Xu's heart and soul, making him feel clear-headed and extremely comfortable.

amazing.

Although the mouse had little magical power, its "Clear Rain Spell" had a miraculous effect.

In the heat of battle, this spell can obviously help practitioners boost their vitality and sustain their energy.

This kind of enhancement is different from Chen Xu's direct increase in the three elemental attributes.

It possessed an extraordinary vitality that reminded Chen Xu of the Golden Spirit Jade Liquid Tea he had once drunk.

"No, no!" The mouse finished chanting the incantation and casting the spell, only managing to say, "Scholar, I... I helped you too..."

The next moment, its small body swayed and it plunged headfirst to the ground.

Chen Xu quickly caught it and held it in his palm.

The moonlight was dim, and earth and stones were falling, but the little mouse fell into a deep sleep again.
