ALL NOVEL Chapter 94 - Visualize of Gods and Demons
With a large amount of silver spent, medicinal herbs, meat, and pills were continuously purchased to supply the troops.
With enough food, the army's training and cultivation could ensure ample energy.
As time passed, the strength of Oliver Sheng's soldiers steadily increased.
Ten days later, Yuan Yong, the tribuni guarding the distillery, reported an issue.
Oliver Sheng, who was training his heavy cavalry, immediately halted the training.
"What did you say? Something happened at the distillery!"
Oliver looked at Yuan Yong. The distillery was a gold mine, the source of their military expenses, and could not afford any mistakes.
"General, Master Du reported that the five thousand jars of Green Ant Wine we brewed have disappeared without a trace," Yuan Yong said, bracing himself.
He was the officer in charge of guarding the distillery, and any issue would undoubtedly fall on him.
"Let's go and take a look," Oliver said immediately.
During this period, he had been training the heavy cavalry in the barracks. The distillery was right next to the barracks, and if a strong person had infiltrated the distillery, it would have been impossible to escape his detection.
Unless it was a Great Grandmaster-level expert.
But would an expert of that level need to sneak into his distillery to steal wine?
Five thousand jars of Green Ant Wine, how much silver would that be?
One and a half million taels of silver, enough to equip another two thousand heavy cavalry.
But five thousand jars of wine, with so many soldiers guarding outside, couldn't have disappeared without a trace.
Rushing into the distillery's warehouse, Oliver saw Master Du, Summer Lotus, and others quickly bowing to him.
"General Sheng!"
"Enough with the formalities, tell me what happened," Oliver waved his hand.
"General, today Li Xiaohua and the others were organizing the warehouse and found that the five thousand jars of wine were all empty, as if the wine had evaporated, leaving only empty jars."
"Li Xiaohua and the others immediately reported this to me. I confirmed with Master Du and the others that we had indeed stored five thousand jars of wine here. When we found the wine missing, we reported it to General Yuan and asked you to come," Summer Lotus explained.
Losing five thousand jars of Green Ant Wine was no small matter; it was a huge problem.
Oliver looked at the empty jars, his brows furrowed. Who could have the ability to make five thousand jars of wine disappear, leaving only empty jars?
Could it really be a Great Grandmaster-level expert who stole it?
Yuan Yong, seeing Oliver's furrowed brows, was extremely nervous.
As the tribuni appointed by Oliver to lead five hundred soldiers to guard the distillery, he feared his position was at risk.
Oliver saw no traces at the scene and looked at the five thousand empty jars, thinking it might have been done by a high-level Daoist.
Otherwise, who could have such ability to make five thousand jars of wine disappear without a trace?
Using his Grandmaster-level spiritual power to investigate, Oliver found something unusual in one of the empty jars.
He stepped forward and took out the jar.
Opening it, he immediately sensed a familiar aura.
Turning to Yuan Yong, Master Du, Summer Lotus, and the others, he said, "You all go out first."
Seeing Oliver's command, they had no choice but to leave the warehouse.
After they left, Oliver took out the item from the jar.
It was a page of a Golden Book!
Covered in small seal script.
At the same time, Oliver sensed a familiar aura on the page.
It was Isla Qin, no, it was Isla Su, the fox demon's aura.
So it was the fox demon who stole the wine, using the Heavenly Demon Mirror to conceal her aura, indeed capable of evading his detection.
But what was this page of the Golden Book? Payment for the wine?
Using his spiritual power to probe the Golden Book, Oliver immediately sensed its extraordinary nature.
The seal script recorded a secret Daoist technique for cultivating the Divine Soul, the Visualize of Gods and Demons!
Oliver quickly put it away; now was not the time to study it.
Leaving the warehouse, he saw the anxious faces of the others, fearing his wrath over the loss of such a large amount of wine, worth one and a half million taels of silver.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Oliver smiled.
"It's okay, don't worry. The loss is just some wine; we can brew more."
"This incident is strange, possibly the work of demons. Be more vigilant and keep a close watch on the distillery," Oliver said with a smile.
Seeing Oliver not getting angry or blaming them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, this was my negligence. I will strengthen patrols and guards in the future," Yuan Yong said.
"Yes, strengthen patrols and stay alert. This is our military's money source; we can't afford any mistakes," Oliver said.
After reassuring everyone, Oliver returned to the barracks.
Knowing it was Isla Su, the fox spirit, who stole the wine, he couldn't confront her now.
With the Heavenly Demon Mirror in her possession, he probably couldn't contend with her.
Moreover, she left him a page of the Golden Book as payment.
Back in his quarters, Oliver took out the Golden Book to study.
Visualize of Gods and Demons!
Visualizing gods and demons, using the incantation to form a divine and demonic image, thus cultivating the Divine Soul.
The more he studied, the more Oliver realized the extraordinary nature of this Divine Soul cultivation method.
He wondered which Daoist sect's secret had fallen into Isla Su's hands.
And the fox demon gave it to him. This was indeed a huge gain.
By rights, Isla Su, being a demon, should be a mortal enemy of humans, especially with the incidents in Suiyuan County caused by her.
Why would she give him such a Divine Soul cultivation method?
Could it be love?
Did the fox demon fall for his charm?
Thinking too much was pointless, and being too narcissistic wasn't good either.
Oliver immediately began cultivating according to the incantation, visualizing gods and demons to cultivate his Divine Soul.
Reciting the incantation, he began visualizing gods and demons with his spiritual power.
But when he tried to visualize gods and demons, Oliver was stumped.
What gods and demons should he visualize?
He hadn't seen any gods or demons in this world, and there were no records in books.
For a moment, Oliver was at a loss.
"Am I really going to be stumped by this? If there are no gods or demons, can't I create one myself?"
Oliver had a sudden idea. Why not visualize himself as a god and demon?
This whimsical idea might make even the Heavenly Sect's people sigh in amazement.
Gods and demons, aren't they just half god, half demon?
Oliver directly visualized himself as half a radiant god and half a demonic figure engulfed in flames.
Surprisingly, this whimsical approach actually allowed him to successfully cultivate the Visualize of Gods and Demons.
......
In the Heavenly Dao State of Great Wei, at the Heavenly Dao Sect!
The immortal mountains were majestic, filled with ethereal mist, and auspicious beasts flew around, creating a scene of an immortal paradise.
On the immortal mountains, ancient herbs emitted spiritual light, and the fragrance of medicine filled the air.
In front of an immortal palace, a sloppy old Taoist was drinking wine, half asleep and seemingly in a trance.
Suddenly, a statue of gods and demons in a temple flashed with light, startling the old Taoist awake.
"What happened?"
He immediately began calculating with his fingers.
After a long time, the old Taoist looked at the sky and muttered, "Strange! Strange!"
......
Oliver had successfully started cultivating the Visualize of Gods and Demons, using the visualization of gods and demons to temper his Divine Soul, allowing it to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slowly grow stronger.
His spiritual power was rapidly increasing.
In the depths of his sea of consciousness, a figure of gods and demons appeared, half god, half demon, exuding a mysterious power, tempering his Divine Soul.
