"In the future, I need to build a bridge between Meishan and Yangshan, connecting these two mountains. Iāll have my people come and station at Meishan."
"After that, Meishan and Yangshan will become one entity, attracting and rescuing those trapped by the flood." "
"I wonāt touch Jieshi Academy; it will still belong to you. Yunquan Temple, however, Iāll make other arrangements for later. I want that site."
Li Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Meishan was so vast, honestly, with the few people he had, it was impossible to claim all of Meishan.
Moreover, Liang Yuan didnāt ask for Jieshi Academy, but instead wanted Yunquan Temple.
Li Xiangyang thought, Liang Yuan had originally conquered that area, and Li Kuirong along with the others had died at Liang Yuanās hands; it had nothing to do with Li Xiangyang, emotionally or logically.
This was not a big deal.
Immediately, Li Xiangyang hurriedly said, "Of course, thereās no problem. Meishan isnāt mine; anyone can come up here to take refuge."
Liang Yuan smiled. This Li Xiangyang, although quite clever in battle, didnāt have the shrewdness of Hong Fu or Li Yuefeng.
He didnāt see Meishan as his own territory, rejecting outsiders seeking refuge.
If he had initially chosen Meishan for refuge rather than Yangshan, the process might have been much simpler.
"Alright, you all stay outside. Donāt go in. Iāll go in to save them."
Li Xiangyang quickly said, "Mr. Liang, Iāll go with you."
Liang Yuan waved his hand: "Before figuring out whatās happening with this Spirit Force Field, you all stay out."
He then looked at Yang Youwei and said, "Uncle Yang, take care of Yang Mei here."
Yang Youwei promptly replied, "Donāt worry."
Yang Mei also said, "Be careful."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and immediately disappeared, darting into the graveyard.
His strong Spiritual Power allowed him to block the interference from the Spirit Force Field, quickly finding the correct path into the cave.
"This Spirit Force Field is quite bizarre. Where did such a large Spirit Force Field come from?"
Liang Yuan wondered, planning to help Li Xiangyang save people, but he also wanted to explore the cave and find the source of the Spirit Force Field.
Liang Yuan crossed the graveyard and returned to the cave.
The persimmon tree still stood quietly, its leaves yellowing, devoid of any more Superpower Fruits.
Liang Yuan approached, grabbing the unconscious people on the ground, and quickly carried them outside, placing them outside the Spirit Force Field.
He made multiple trips, eventually rescuing over twenty people.
The cave was soon left with only some unconscious Mutant Beasts.
Liang Yuan casually killed off the Mutant Beasts, gaining a wave of Points, then began searching for the source of the force field.
"This force field seems to envelop the entire graveyard, especially concentrated inside this cave."
"These people clearly have weak Spiritual Power and canāt withstand the interference from the Spirit Force Field, so their brains went into a state of unconsciousness."
This was a brainsā protective mechanism to prevent mental disarray, thus initiating self-hibernation.
Liang Yuanās Spiritual Power was strong enough to resist the interference from the Spirit Force Field.
He took a walk around the cave, which wasnāt very deep, only about twenty to thirty meters in depth.
Liang Yuan circled around, finding nothing special.
He returned to the persimmon tree, scrutinizing it carefully.
The persimmon tree had withered, seemingly using all its Life Force to produce those two Lantern Persimmons.
Liang Yuan tapped the persimmon tree, hearing the hollow sound, indicating it was about to lose its moisture entirely.
Liang Yuan instinctively used his Spiritual Power to probe if there were any unseen aspects of the tree.
Suddenly, as his Spiritual Power made contact with the tree, his expression changed.
"Huh?"
Upon touching the persimmon tree, Liang Yuan immediately noticed his Spiritual Power being blocked by the treeās trunk!
He couldnāt investigate the internal condition of the tree.
This discovery surprised Liang Yuan.
With 50 Points of Spiritual Power, he was unable to penetrate a tree?
He realized instantly that this tree was extraordinary!
Liang Yuan immediately leaped up, breaking off a branch.
With a snap, the branch broke, revealing a somewhat dry fracture.
Liang Yuan examined the branch, finding complex patterns inside.
It wasnāt the rings of the tree but akin to runes!
Liang Yuan was astonished: "This... is this... Superpower Material?"
He tried to use his Spiritual Power to touch the tree, discovering that while the branches could weaken the Spiritual Power, they couldnāt entirely block it.
Liang Yuan quickly understood: "Itās because this is the end of the branch; the resistance to Spiritual Power intrusion isnāt strong?"
He looked at the trunk. Its sturdiness could entirely block Spiritual Power intrusion?
Liang Yuanās mind raced: "If a tree like this, capable of blocking Spiritual Power, were carved into items like helmets, wearing it could perfectly defend against Spiritual Attacks?"
He immediately jumped down, took out a hoe from his inventory, and started digging the tree on the spot!
Bang bang bang...
The ground had only a thin layer of soil, beneath which were large rocks.
This persimmon tree had grown with difficulty in the crevices between the stones below.
