Looking at the dragon soul, which had grown by half its size, Mu Jinyu felt both happy and slightly helpless.
He didn't intend for this to happen.
But it seems the dragon soul was originally ford from the dragon qi of the Kunlun Dragon Vein, so while aiding the Qinling Dragon Vein, it inevitably absorbed so dragon qi to strengthen itself.
Nevertheless, it's ultimately a good thing. Mu Jinyu wasn't about to complain about getting an advantage and say, "I didn't an for this to happen!"
"Roar!"
Retracting the dragon soul, Mu Jinyu left the Inner Valley and went to find Gu Xiyan and the others.
Upon arriving at the office, Gu Xiyan, i Yinxue, and Mu Hongchen were all busy with their tasks and only looked up to greet Mu Jinyu as he entered.
"You're back? We still have so matters to handle, go ahead and sit down," Gu Xiyan glanced at Mu Jinyu and then lowered her head to continue speaking.
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Alright, I'm about to get busy too. I just ca to let you all know that I'm going to seclude myself for about five to seven days, so you don't need to notify about als or anything."
"Oh, okay, I got it," Gu Xiyan answered without lifting her head.
Mu Jinyu looked at i Yinxue and asked, "Sister i, how are you doing with the 'Sword Scroll' I gave you a few days ago?"
i Yinxue looked up at Mu Jinyu, shook her head, and said, "No ti, sigh. Your national martial cultivation plan has increased our workload so much that I hardly have ti to study that cultivation technique."
"Alright then." Mu Jinyu forced a smile and took his leave after bidding them farewell.
After leaving the office, while Mu Jinyu was walking down the corridor, he noticed Zhou Yi was still inside a room teaching people alchemy.
However, there were only about a hundred or so people left, not as exaggerated as the more than five hundred people before.
The reason being, Mu Jinyu had previously agreed with Xia Ruochen to teach them alchemy on a weekend, and most students weren't attending school. That day, Mu Jinyu had Zhou Yi teach along with him.
But it wasn't a weekend anymore, so those students naturally had to be sent back to continue their schooling.
"Ti to work on the pill furnaces."
Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze and quietly slipped away before Zhou Yi noticed him.
Returning to the Inner Valley.
Mu Jinyu began to work tirelessly on the alchemy furnaces.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
After five days.
Mu Jinyu had crafted over six thousand alchemy furnaces in one go.
Based on the previous calculation where a little over a thousand alchemy furnaces could produce one million essence qi pills in a day, with over seven thousand furnaces, approximately seven to eight million essence qi pills could be made in a day.
That amounts to about 240 million essence qi pills in a month!
Although it's still not enough to provide one pill per person per month, it's getting closer to this goal.
"Huh?!"
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to craft more furnaces and then take a break, he suddenly felt sothing cool and icy on his face.
Opening his eyes slightly, Mu Jinyu wiped his face, feeling sothing chilly and soft—it was snow!
"Is it snowing?"
His eyes widened as Mu Jinyu looked up to the sky.
He saw the slightly dim sky with light snowflakes drifting down.
The ground of the Inner Valley was already covered with a thin layer of snow.
Seeing this scene, instead of feeling the excitent of the snow and wanting to build a snowman with Gu Xiyan and the others, Mu Jinyu felt an ominous foreboding rise in his heart.
"It's only June, and just a few days ago I celebrated Children's Day. How can it suddenly start snowing?"
Mu Jinyu's eyes were filled with suspicion as he muttered, "And this is still the south! Is the world about to change again?"
He muttered a few tis to himself, but could no longer focus on crafting alchemy furnaces. He quickly got up, packed away the furnaces scattered all over the ground, and went to find Mu Hongchen and the others to inquire about the situation.
Soon, Mu Jinyu arrived at their office and saw Mu Hongchen and Gu Xiyan gathered together, all with serious looks, discussing sothing.
"Dragon Master, you're here. Have a seat, I was just about to inform you."
Seeing Mu Jinyu's arrival, Mu Hongchen, not surprised at all, as if expecting him, invited Mu Jinyu to sit down.
Mu Jinyu knew they were all putting aside their tasks to discuss the June snow, so he didn't directly question Mu Hongchen and instead took a seat in the empty space next to Yu Linglong.
Mu Hongchen didn't start from the beginning upon Mu Jinyu's arrival; she continued, saying:
"According to the latest report from the teorological departnt, the anomaly isn't just occurring in famous mountains, but the entire Jiangnan Province is experiencing snow, and I suspect, the snowfall will begin nationwide soon. This change, I believe, isn't like the first dark turmoil's absolute end, but rather the continued changes from the earliest spiritual energy revival. Yet, with this change, quite a few people might perish..."
Upon hearing Mu Hongchen's words, Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed as he sensed the spiritual energy of Yinlong Mountain, realizing it was indeed more active than a few days ago, with its concentration constantly increasing.
"Is the spiritual energy revival about to comnce again?" Mu Jinyu pondered inwardly.
Initially, when he ca over, he was concerned that this abnormal snow in the southern June might result from the disruption of the Qinling Dragon Vein.
But it seems that's not the case, because if the Qinling had an issue, the climate would definitely shift, but it wouldn't cause the spiritual energy to beco more active.
Mu Hongchen kept analyzing the present situation when suddenly a phone call ca in. She took the call and, after listening for a few minutes, her expression grew grave. She hung up and, in a deep voice, said:
"The latest information has co in—the folded spaces of many famous mountains are now beginning to rge with the actual mountain ranges, expanding the area of the mountains several tis, and the surrounding seas are starting to freeze."
"If nothing unexpected happens, in about a day, the ocean will freeze over, and the current light snow in various places will eventually beco blizzards!"
As Mu Hongchen's words fell, the won all looked worriedly and whispered:
"If that's the case, how many people will die?!"
"How can ordinary people withstand this? Why would such a change suddenly occur?"
"..."
Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows, also speculating on the cause of this newfound spiritual energy revival.
Is it the hidden antagonist who stole dragon qi from the Qinling who did it?
According to his analysis, the various famous mountains spread across the globe are the formation base locking the Earth. After that formation base is shaken, causing the grand sealing formation to be damaged, the spiritual energy originally drawn to operate the formation naturally isn't needed as much anymore, causing it to overflow.
This, in turn, leads to the spiritual energy revival.
And the first spiritual energy revival probably resulted from Xiang Mantang destroying a crucial formation base, causing damage to the operation of the grand sealing formation, which no longer required global spiritual energy extraction with each operation. The excess spiritual energy began to overflow, and then after so ti, as the formation base wasn't further damaged, the spiritual energy revival halted, with the cultivated environnt improved significantly, but it stopped there...
Without other accidents, the grand sealing formation may gradually collapse over ti due to the damage to that formation base.
But such a change already occurring within just a year indicates possibly, yet another formation base has been destroyed by soone.
And for now, Mu Jinyu has no other suspect targets, other than the Qinling disruption, making the hidden player planning the Qinling Dragon Vein suspicious.
