had long fallen into disrepair, Zhang Yuan was riding forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the many potholes on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid injuring the horse, he had to carefully steer clear of these \"traps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This significantly slowed down his travel pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan looked at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was then slanting to the west, nearly setting beneath the distant mountains, painting the sky with a magnificent and spectacular evening glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to find a place to stay overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this road was part of the official route, in reality, few merchants or travelers passed by, and there were no post houses or inns along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking far into the distance, not a single village was in sight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the presence of the bizarre, the vast majority of villages were situated near and around the cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cities were connected by official roads and waterways as routes for travel and communication, and once one entered the wilderness, not a soul could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary civilians might not venture more than thirty li from their home their whole life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had to travel far, they would need to join a caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, safety could not be guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan’s luck was not too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before nightfall, he found an Earth God Temple by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth God Temple worshiped the God of Fortune, known among the populace as the Earth God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not a high-ranking deity, it was officially venerated by the National Dynasty and could receive incense from common folk, offering protection to a region!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth God Temple that Zhang Yuan discovered was quite large, with a grand architectural style, and grass sheds built on either side of the temple entrance, piled with some firewood and fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a stone trough for feeding horses, cows, and sheep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan dismounted in front of the Earth God Temple, led his horse to the grass shed, tied it, and fed it a bundle of fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse was also very tired from the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan took down his luggage from the horse’s back and entered the Earth God Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temple doors were wide open, and inside the hall stood a statue of an Earth God with a kind face and a gourd staff, accompanied by an offering table with an incense burner but nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan looked around, not finding any temple keeper or any other people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, the Earth God Temple was quite clean, the ground spotless except for traces left by charcoal fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incense sticks and candles were placed next to the incense burner on the offering table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan knew that these were left by the passing merchants and travelers who had stayed here overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took three incense sticks, lit them, and respectfully bowed thrice to the Earth God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he placed the incense sticks in the incense burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world probably didn’t have any real deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yuan’s view, whether it’s the City God, Dragon God, or Earth God, they are all objects of faith for the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These so-called deities exist in the form of statues, absorbing and gathering the people’s belief power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To counter the bizarre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the village’s ancestral hall works in the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those so-called mages and Daoists are clearly transcendents who understand how to use belief power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the reality must be much more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yuan would neither be deceived by appearances nor turn a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He offered his share of belief power according to the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As payment for staying overnight here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this Earth God Temple could not only shield from wind and rain but also fend off the bizarre, making it a true sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night fell, Zhang Yuan lit two more candles and inserted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dim light was obviously far from enough to illuminate the entire hall, so he brought in more firewood from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And started a bonfire inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his luggage, Zhang Yuan took out a small pot, dry food, and a water bag, preparing his dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left Whale Castle earlier, he only brought his weapon, without any preparation for a long journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yue Wuji had already prepared the mount and supplies needed for the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even with a hasty departure, there was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after rummaging through his luggage, Zhang Yuan felt something was still lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he assembled the Iron-Clad Bow and brought the quiver outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night had not fully descended, the surroundings were vast with abundant vegetation, and some small animals were coming out to forage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for Zhang Yuan to catch two wild rabbits and a pheasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level 3 Divine Nest granted Zhang Yuan a very strong perception ability, his sight, hearing, and smell far exceeded ordinary people even in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with his rich hunting experience, catching some wild game was really simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning the game outside the Earth God Temple, Zhang Yuan returned to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skewered the two wild rabbits for barbecuing, while the pheasant was cut into pieces and put into a pot with some salt for stewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the hall was filled with a rich aroma of meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan also took the dry hard flatbread, placing it near the bonfire to heat it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ready to feast to his heart’s content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though conditions were limited, he didn’t want to mistreat his stomach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, just as the rabbit meat was almost cooked, there was a sudden commotion outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of people shouting and horses neighing was quite loud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reassembled the Iron-Clad Bow and set it aside, then took the Yanling Saber and laid it across his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, a group of people burst into the Earth God Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a tall and burly man with a dignified appearance and bright, piercing eyes, walking with his head held high and an imposing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Zhang Yuan sitting by the bonfire, he was obviously taken aback, then cupped his fist and said: \"Greetings, my friend. I am Lin Zhenbei, leader of Fuyuan Escort Agency. Tonight, we’re resting here. Sorry for any disturbance we may have caused!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for such formality, Lin Biaotou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan stood up and returned the salute: \"This place is open for everyone to stay. There is no disturbance at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lin Zhenbei, Lin Biaotou, was clearly a seasoned traveler who had roamed the land, his cultivation likely at the Tier Three Transformation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the escort hands behind him were no weaklings either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having a clear advantage in numbers, Lin Biaotou remained polite and courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan naturally reciprocated with politeness, giving the other party due respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting by chance, and not as life-and-death foes, it was the way of the martial world to maintain basic courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grrrr~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from behind Lin Zhenbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if contagious, similar noises sounded one after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the grumbling stomachs of the escort hands, protesting with hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enticing aroma of Zhang Yuan’s barbecued rabbit and the stewed chicken in the pot was tempting everyone’s taste buds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhenbei, a bit embarrassed, turned around and glared at his uncontrollable subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Zhang Yuan and said with a wry smile: \"Little brother, sorry for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan chuckled: \"There’s still firewood outside, you can bring it in to cook some food, and I have two wild rabbits here; I’ll give you one to fill your stomachs first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, no need, we have our own food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhenbei politely declined, his attitude firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan did not persist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the mark of a true veteran. In the outside world, one must be wary of others. You can’t just eat a stranger’s food, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mind, and continued to prepare his own dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-06-06T13:54:04.656Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa14014ae9391e35ad20f2a6f7a2677631275d662dd149f2269049e4ab87a227","i-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-chapter-121","i-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-chapter-119",497,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-cover.jpg"]
