Chapter 31: Scientific Exorcism? Just Smog Removal!

How to curb, weaken, or even eliminate the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh?

This is a very difficult question.

Even Xi Luo, who has lived for a thousand years and seen much, can only pin her hopes on the child Li Li Boyang.

Or more accurately, Xi Luo, out of unconditional trust in her sister, believes Li Li Boyang will surely find a solution in the Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets.

But in fact, Li Li Boyang thinks Xi Luo is being a bit too blind.

Leaving aside the obscurity and difficulty of the Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets, whether anyone in this era even exists who can understand it.

Even if someone truly understood the Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets.

Applying the theories within to practice would absolutely not be something achievable in a day or two.

Only Li Li Boyang, this transmigrator with extraordinary talent and knowledge of the past and present, could come up with a method to temporarily solve these black mists.

Regardless of where the source of those black mists lies, or how enigmatic their manifestations appear...

【In essence, they are merely some special kinds of mist.】

A golden flying sword rotated leisurely above the valley, and Li Li Boyang's voice simultaneously entered Xi Luo's heart.

【According to the calculations of the Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets and the Destiny Bone Armor...】

【This place is a necessary passage for the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh to expand outward.】

【Looking across the entire periphery of Black Cloud Marsh, there are only thirty-two such 'critical nodes'.】

【If we intercept those black mists at these thirty-two locations, the black mists of Black Cloud Marsh will be trapped within that small marshland.】

These words sound somewhat mystical.

But for Li Li Boyang personally, it is actually sufficient to treat these black mists as smog.

How major cities in the previous life handled smog; applying those smog-treatment experiences here would not differ much.

【This is a windward opening, which is why the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh is blown outward by the wind here.】

【Theoretically, if we can block this windward opening, we can solve the problem of the black mist spreading from this location.】

Listening to Li Li Boyang's explanation with a headache.

Xi Luo, unlearned and unskilled, ultimately chose to give up understanding and directly asked.

"Just tell me directly what to do, okay!"

A thousand years ago, Xi Luo dealt with the Huaijiang Witch this way, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Except that the Huaijiang Witch would sigh every time, Xi Luo felt there was nothing wrong with this.

【Aren't you a Mountain God?】

【Then simply move a mountain over here to block this wind outlet.】

As soon as Li Li Boyang said this, Xi Luo's head shook like an electric fan.

"What exactly are you thinking, you child?"

"If I had that ability, I would rather move a mountain to smash Black Cloud Marsh directly!"

Xi Luo had not failed to see those divine beings with the power to move mountains and overturn peaks, but they were usually like dragons, seen only at the head and never at the tail.

If there were such divine beings stationed in the Hundred Earth Mountains, how would a mere evil ghost be allowed to run wild?

【Then as a Mountain God, can you cause plants to grow?】

【Planting more grass and vegetation at the valley's exit would similarly restrict the black mist from spreading outward.】

Hearing this, Xi Luo awkwardly licked her paw.

"Ahem, although I am the Mountain God of Feilai Peak, I am actually not skilled in such things..."

The flying sword in mid-air paused slightly, and then Li Li Boyang's voice continued.

【What about summoning clouds and raining? You must be able to do that, right?】

【If we can keep this area in a long-term moist state...】

【The moisture in the mist will automatically condense into water droplets, causing the mist to settle and reduce its spread.】

Li Li Boyang clearly remembered that after killing the Ruifu, Xi Luo had used the method of summoning clouds and raining to extinguish the remaining ice and fire evil qi.

"Do you think summoning clouds and raining is that easy to use?"

"I can only make the rain fall earlier; I cannot create clouds and rain out of thin air."

Looking up at the boundless clear night sky above the valley, Xi Luo retorted in a bad mood.

【Why must we follow science in such a ghost place...】

After a brief silence, Li Li Boyang's voice was filled with helplessness.

【Then creating strong winds at this mountain pass to blow in reverse, you probably cannot do that either, right?】

Blinking her eyes awkwardly again, Xi Luo argued in a small voice.

"You should find those professional Wind Gods for such matters; I am just a small Mountain God..."

Listening to Xi Luo's sophistry, Li Li Boyang realized for the first time to what extent Xi Luo was unlearned and unskilled.

【Then what can you do?】

Hearing Li Li Boyang ask this, Xi Luo immediately perked up with spirit.

"I can set fires!"

"Look, can we just burn this valley down directly?"

Listening to Xi Luo's speech about setting fire to the mountain with a face full of black lines, Li Li Boyang hurriedly interrupted.

【It has not reached that point, and there is absolutely no need for it.】

【Since you are skilled in controlling fire, can you make the temperature in this area rise locally?】

【Not much, just need it to be about three to five degrees higher than over at Black Cloud Marsh...】

【At that time, the near-ground air temperature will rise, forming a local temperature inversion layer, which can also prevent the generation and flow of the mist.】

With the assistance of the Spirit-Horn, Xi Luo fully understood Li Li Boyang's words.

Although she still did not understand the obscure terms mixed within, at the very least Xi Luo understood what she needed to do.

"This is simple; setting fires is my specialty!"

Suddenly leaping into the air, Xi Luo instantly transformed from a civet cat into a red leopard, and fire clouds sprang forth beneath her feet.

Whoosh!

Under Xi Luo's precise control, the temperature at the valley's windward opening rose sharply; in less than a few breaths, a visible, tangible heat wave formed.

Visible to the naked eye, a distinct updraft formed over this area.

The black mist surging out from Black Cloud Marsh had no time to emerge from the valley.

Instead, it rose along that updraft into the sky, only to be pushed back down again.

From Li Li Boyang's perspective, the primal energy symbolizing "flame" gathered at the mountain pass in a short span of time.

This did not look like Xi Luo controlling that primal energy; rather, it seemed as if the primal energy itself was actively responding to her thoughts.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

The red leopard, treading on fire clouds, leaped through the low sky; wherever she passed, primal energy naturally gathered.

Primal energy gathers, temperature rises, an inversion layer forms, and then a distinct updraft appears...

The entire process flowed smoothly and seamlessly, quickly achieving the effect Li Li Boyang desired.

Such an exaggerated situation inevitably alerted other nearby Mountain Gods, Water Gods, River Gods, and spirits.

Even though they did not know what mischief that mountain cat was up to again.

But seeing the commotion occur near the edge of the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh, every intelligent being chose to give way.

Because based on observations over this period, wherever that mountain cat or flying sword entered, stayed, or departed, a battle with corrupted beasts was certain to occur.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, leaving before both sides engaged in battle was the wisest choice.
