Bai Ruxue knelt anxiously in front of the Land God Temple, her face pale.
Although ten days of kneeling hadn't depleted her energy, the fact that the Venerable God hadn't acknowledged her supplications made her increasingly uneasy, unsure of how the Venerable God intended to deal with her.
And in these ten days...
Initially, many people were afraid of this kneeling horse demon.
Even though she had transformed into human form, demons were still fearsome.
However, seeing her kneeling in front of the Land God Temple every day,
the villagers of Four Seas Village gradually grew accustomed to this kneeling horse demon.
The Venerable God must have had his reasons for making this horse demon kneel.
Moreover, the temple warden had told them that this horse demon had never eaten a human, which was why the Venerable God had spared her life.
No one was afraid anymore.
"Do you have a name?"
Suddenly,
a detached and majestic voice echoed in Bai Ruxue's mind.
She immediately shuddered and knelt even more piously and respectfully on the ground:
"Venerable God, this little demon is named Bai Ruxue."
"I only have two demons under my command, and you are one of them. What abilities do you possess?"
Li Yue stood in the "Divine Realm," overlooking the horse demon Bai Ruxue, and spoke indifferently.
Bai Ruxue was somewhat stunned.
Abilities?
What abilities did she have?
Her mind raced.
The Venerable God wouldn't be asking about her strength!
After all, her strength was insignificant in the Venerable God's eyes, and the Venerable God was well aware of her strength.
Since he was still asking—
He must be referring to her special abilities.
Moreover, these special abilities had to be useful to the Venerable God!
What abilities did she have that could be useful to the Venerable God?
She sensed that many villagers from Four Seas Village behind her were kneeling respectfully on the ground, offering incense to the Venerable God.
Among them were some martial artists.
This gave her a flash of inspiration.
"Venerable God, I can cultivate warhorses for Four Seas Village!"
"As long as you give me a batch of ordinary mortal horses, I can cultivate them to the first-order level, the strongest being at the first-order limit!"
She said respectfully.
After all, her true form was a horse.
As long as she used her own aura and even blood to cultivate them, she could gradually promote ordinary mortal horses to the first-order level.
Cultivate warhorses?
Li Yue immediately became interested.
In "God's Conquest," the 'Believer's War' is a very important component, which accounts for 30% of a god's strength.
Therefore, he particularly valued the strength of his believers.
And without a doubt—
At the first- and second-order levels, the combat power of cavalry is absolutely very strong!
If he could obtain a batch of first-order warhorses, or even second-order warhorses,
and let the first-order martial artists and second-order martial masters of Four Seas Village ride them into battle—
the power would definitely surpass martial artists and martial masters several times over.
However, the only problem
was how to get first-order warhorses and second-order warhorses to join the 'Believer's War.'
The 'Believer's War' only allows believers to participate.
That is to say—
to allow first-order and even second-order warhorses to participate in the war, he must first make them believers.
However, this was not difficult for him.
After all, Bai Ruxue cultivated them step by step within his "jurisdiction," and they were naturally shrouded in his divine might, making it easy for them to become believers.
It would be very difficult for demons from the outside world to develop into believers.
The most important point is that they must not have eaten humans!
The Divine Path is rooted in the Human Path, and the Human Path is the cornerstone of the Divine Path.
Demons who have eaten humans go against the Human Path and are not tolerated by the Divine Path.
This point alone excludes 99% of demons.
In this world, there are too few demons who don't eat humans.
Therefore, after discovering that the horse demon had not eaten humans, he subdued the horse demon Bai Ruxue.
"Since that is the case—"
"You will raise horses in Four Seas Village."
He overlooked Bai Ruxue and ordered indifferently.
"Bai Ruxue respectfully obeys your command!"
Bai Ruxue was relieved and overjoyed.
She knew that she had successfully become a subordinate of this Venerable God.
From now on,
she would no longer be a demon, but a subordinate of a Venerable God!
Li Yue shifted his gaze away from Bai Ruxue.
Then he looked at Li Youming, who was cultivating in the house.
"It seems that the last 'Summoning God Technique' gave him a lot of benefits. He'll probably be promoted to upper second-order soon."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If Li Youming raised his cultivation to the upper second-order on his own, then when he cast the Rank 9 Divine Art 'Strengthen Temple Warden', he could save nearly ten units of Divine Power.
Although it's not much, it is a kind of reward for Li Youming's own efforts.
He liked believers who worked hard on their own.
After all—
he is a god, not a nanny.
"Li Youming."
He spoke slowly, and his majestic voice echoed in Li Youming's mind.
In the past, in order to ensure mystery and authority, he conveyed divine messages to Li Youming through dreams.
But now that he has been promoted to high Rank 9, and his terrifying strength after two demon slays is deeply rooted in people's hearts—
there is no need to rely on dream techniques to maintain mystery anymore.
"Venerable God!"
Li Youming was startled and immediately knelt on the ground, his expression respectful and pious.
"The horse demon Bai Ruxue will raise horses for Four Seas Village from now on."
"You may select strong warhorses and let Bai Ruxue cultivate them."
"In the ten-kilometer-deep valley west of Four Seas Village, there is a group of bee demons who have already submitted to me."
"Do not disturb them."
Li Yue's voice was majestic and vast, echoing in Li Youming's mind.
"I respectfully obey the divine decree of the Venerable God!"
...
Li Yue withdrew his gaze.
He looked at the 75 kilograms of second-order spirit honey floating in the "Divine Realm."
"I wonder how much this second-order spirit honey is worth—"
He muttered to himself.
With a thought, he opened the "God's Shop" and listed one kilogram of second-order spirit honey.
Suddenly—
a large number of words appeared in the "God's Shop."
...
[Name]: Black-striped Bee Spirit Honey
[Level]: Second Order
[Effect]: After consumption by second-order and below creatures, it speeds up wound recovery. The more taken, the faster the recovery. Gentle medicinal effect.
[Price]: Two units of Divine Power per kilogram
...
"Black-striped Bee Spirit Honey."
"A recovery item."
Li Yue's eyes flashed.
And the value wasn't low—one kilogram could be sold for two units of Divine Power.
The 75 kilograms of 'Black-striped Bee Spirit Honey' in his possession equaled 150 units of Divine Power!
Previously,
he had painstakingly sold 76 'Yin Soldier Magic Items', only earning 760 units of Divine Power.
Now, just one group of bee demons discovered through an expansion of his "jurisdiction" had brought him a harvest of 150 units.
Moreover, this was a continuous source.
It shows that many treasures still lie undiscovered in the world. As long as the "jurisdiction" continues to expand, more resources can be found!
"The 'God's Shop' offers two units of Divine Power per kilogram."
"I'll list it in the 'Regional Transaction' at four units per kilogram. That's not profiteering, right?"
He muttered to himself.
Without hesitation—
he listed 25 kilograms of 'Black-striped Bee Spirit Honey' to test the waters, priced at four units of Divine Power per kilogram.
If sold, that would be 100 units of Divine Power.
However, he didn't expect them to sell easily.
After all, not many gods had reached Rank 9, and most were saving Divine Power to try breaking through to Righteous God of Rank 9.
These kinds of recovery items weren't urgently needed, and few gods would purchase them.
"There are 100,000 gods in one area."
"Even if only a few buy it, someone will eventually. No rush."
Li Yue's expression was calm.
He had patience. After all, listing items in the 'Regional Transaction' was free.
If they didn't sell, he could just withdraw them.
But just then—
He suddenly sensed two demons entering the range of his "jurisdiction."
A spider demon.
A tiger demon.
He looked over, expression indifferent.
