He may not yet have this mysterious intuition, but his trust in his little girl is ingrained in his bones, transcending all reason.

He tightened his arms, expressing everything through his actions.

"good."

One word, heavy with meaning.

But it instantly soothed all of Ruan Tang's unease and anxiety.

He would accompany her whenever she wanted to do something.

He would believe her as long as she said it.

Yan Yu's mind raced, his gaze returning to the red circles on the map that represented "energy cans".

If we're going to manage it, we need to come up with a foolproof method.

He pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question: "Tangtang, is there a way to make those black stones release the earth's energy that they've absorbed?"

We can't just smash all the rocks; that would be a complete waste of the energy we worked so hard to extract.

"This..." Ruan Tang was truly stumped by the question.

Her limited knowledge of formations was far from sufficient to solve such a sophisticated problem.

But she has a cheat code!

Ruan Tang immediately turned her head to look at the puppet scripture that was as quiet as a piece of furniture, and asked crisply, "Scripture, you and Afu have seen those black stone formations up close. In your database, is there any way to bring the earth energy from the stones back into the mountains?"

The puppet scripture's unfocused eyes flickered, and its core crystal was performing a massive data search.

The room fell silent. The only sounds were the howling wind and snow outside the window and the occasional crackling of firewood in the stove.

Little White, perched on Ruan Tang's shoulder, was getting a little impatient.

It had just recovered from that eerie aura and was feeling bored. Seeing that its two owners were talking in a language it couldn't understand and that no one was paying attention to it, the treasure-hunting mouse became unhappy.

It first stretched out its shiny mithril paws and gently tugged at Ruan Tang's collar, but received no response.

It flicked its fluffy stardust tail and brushed it against Ruan Tang's cheek, making a coquettish "squeak" sound.

Ruan Tang was intently waiting for the answer when she absentmindedly patted its little head.

Little White was even more dissatisfied! Even mice have tempers!

Its eyes darted around, and it had an idea.

With a "whoosh," it leaped from Ruan Tang's shoulder onto the kang table, and with a swaggering gait, strode confidently to the center of the huge animal skin map.

It puffed out its fluffy little chest, imitating Yan Yu and Ruan Tang, and lowered its head to "examine" the map, its little nose sniffing hard in the air, its two whiskers trembling rapidly.

Hmm... Let this divine mouse see where the problem lies...

It paced around the map with an air of importance, pointing here with its little paws and poking there with the tip of its tail, all the while muttering "squeak squeak squeak," just like a grandmaster surveying the world.

His precocious and mischievous demeanor amused Ruan Tang and Yan Yu, instantly easing the tense atmosphere in the room.

Just then, the puppet's search of scriptures was completed.

Its emotionless, mechanical voice rang out: "Reporting to the master. According to the core database analysis, drawing the earth's energy back to its source requires two steps."

"First, we must completely sever the energy link between the main formation and this place, and destroy its ability to absorb and transfer energy."

"Second, after severing the link, a 'Qi-guiding and flow-returning array' needs to be set up here to reactivate the earth energy stored in the medium (black stone) and guide it back to the mountains and ley lines."

The puppet scripture paused, then added, "However, during this process, due to the transformation of the formation and the guidance of energy, there will inevitably be losses, and it is impossible for all of them to return."

This answer is clear and unambiguous.

Ruan Tang and Yan Yu exchanged a glance, both of them understanding the situation.

Destroy first, then build.

However, neither breaking the formation nor resetting it will be an easy task. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
