For mortals, the most important things for survival have always been water and wood.

Usually, only large households have their own private wells, while common folks either go to the riverside to fetch water or use communal wells.

As for firewood, it is indispensable for daily cooking, boiling water, and heating during winter, thus it holds the top priority among the essential daily affairs.

Leng Yutang's proposal addresses the most pressing daily needs of mortals under current conditions.

"Hmm, using thunder and lightning for illumination is indeed quite interesting!" Yun Mo contemplated for a moment, nodding in agreement: "Although Demon Cultivators occasionally light candles, they're not ordinary lamp oil, which naturally makes them bright and comfortable.

Mortals don't have the capability to obtain extraordinary lamp oil, so by using thunderballs as raw material, at worst, I can gather some more as a backup."

The other party waved and smiled: "In fact, not much is needed, such Magical Artifacts can't be owned by every household. What I envision is to design and refine one to hang above the Divine Statue, much like having an extra, brighter moon at night.

It should be feasible for mortals to control the switch, so that on overcast days like today, it can be turned on without affecting the people's vision. But water and fire, it's best to have them in every household for convenient use."

"Perhaps we should wait until we return to discuss it with the gentleman." Yun Mo proposed: "He is well-informed and capable, and might have even better ideas."

As they were speaking, Hu Zhile approached slowly, looking solemn: "We've certainly had a day, not only saving a boatload of people, but also learning from many mortals that there have been disturbances by Evil Cultivators recently in various places.

These reports must be compiled and informed to the Venerable Family, after all, the strengths of the Demon Race and Human Race are disproportionate. Many small sects and Cultivation Families do not have High Level Cultivators to oversee them, and if attacked, they may not even be able to call for help."

I have a feeling that the war between the two races might commence soon, it's essential to warn the gentleman early, especially since the highest Realm on the Celestial Sword Sect's side is Xiao Chuanzi's grandfather overseeing it. We must extend some courtesy."

This is certainly not good news, but the friction between both sides has been long-standing and unavoidable, knowing beforehand is much better than being caught off guard.

"Given this, there's no pressing matters at East Lake Port, I can just stay." Leng Yutang suggested: "For one thing, the rain continues, and I can assist them with the drainage of the farmland; for another, I plan to refine Magical Artifacts here, so that adjustments can be made according to actual circumstances."

The Wilderness has already descended, leaving him here alone does not seem wise to the others.

After all, he is merely an Artifact Refiner and not adept at fighting, although East Lake Port has the gentleman's Divine Statue offering protection, its power is limited. Should something truly occur, he might struggle with only the Magical Artifacts and Treasures at his disposal.

Yun Mo responded, "Miss Hu speaks swiftly, if you return and inform the gentleman of the situation entirely; Miss He also has business; tonight I'll stay and accompany you, offering additional help."

"Then it's decided, we'll head back first." He Miancun smiled: "Besides, it only takes a moment for me to go back, and when I come again to relieve you. In these tumultuous times, enhancing one's strength is paramount, you might as well go to Carefree City to train together with Miss Hu later."

Leng Yutang was very touched, everyone went out of their way to stay as Protectors for him;

The county magistrate and the people of East Lake Port were even more moved. In the next heavy rainstorm, even the Little Immortal kept everyone in mind, dispatching so many Upper Immortals specifically to help, and even staying to guard.

Such a benevolent Immortal is hard to find even with lanterns in a chaotic world! The people of East Lake Port are blessed!

That night, despite the torrential rain, the incense before the Divine Statue burned much more vigorously than usual.

Jiang Yuan looked at the Faith Value of East Lake Port climbing rapidly, perplexed at the situation?

Could it be that a Demon Beast attack was repelled, and now everyone is grateful?

But that's not right, if the protection bubble had been attacked, the system would have given a notification, yet nothing is shown now.

"Venerable Family, I brought Alliance Leader Du here, but there's something I wish to mention to you first." Hu Zhile hurriedly transmitted back to the courtyard, then teleported to Carefree City, finding Du Li already waiting. The next second she returned to the courtyard, intending to report today's discoveries in detail.

Upon hearing this, Du Li was quick to avoid.

He Miancun glanced at him, smiling: "Alliance Leader Du, there's no need to avoid, it might be good to hear your insights together."

The other party was suddenly alert, could this be related to the alliance? The tone certainly didn't sound friendly!

"The rain was too intense today, and Miss He, Yun Mo, Daoist Leng, and I went to East Lake Port..." Hu Zhile explained the sequence of events succinctly, seriously: "From hearsay from mortals, sects and Cultivation Families in Central Province, Beichong State, and Shanglin State have all been attacked.

The cultivators of the Human World have just started out with the Spiritual Energy Revival, how can they stand a chance against many Demon Cultivators? Slaying cultivators and mortals, burning townships and houses, these are all acts of Evil Cultivators!"

He Miancun directly targeted Du Li, "Alliance Leader Du, the Evil Cultivators are rampant under the guise of the Demon Realm Alliance's flag, spreading slaughter and plunder everywhere, won't you manage it?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Sure enough, it's aimed at him, Du Li sighed heavily, "I'm not trying to make excuses and shirk responsibility. However, mortals are not familiar with the affairs of cultivators, inevitably leading to misinformation.

Even if they see two Little Demon Cultivators of Foundation Establishment Realm sparring, they might perceive it as a major battle between good and evil. Therefore, with simultaneous attacks in so many places, it might not be entirely true;
