Mu Huaqing said the information provided by Zhu Ping was useful. What would happen if the provided information were useful? What could Zhu Ping get?

Off to the side, Yu Jiasheng, who was eavesdropping, immediately became curious and looked at Xiao Mu and Zhu Ping with anticipation.

Thus, Yu Jiasheng saw that, after hearing Xiao Mu's praise, Zhu Ping immediately showed a delighted expression and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Brother Mu, what can these messages be exchanged for? Is it enough to exchange for a Mountain God Token?"

Mountain God Token? Were they talking about the Mountain God Token?

Yu Jiasheng was momentarily stunned on the spot, hardly believing his own ears.

But at that moment, he saw a black command token appear in Xiao Mu's hand. Driven by power, it flew directly towards Zhu Ping.

"That's enough, take it, you can assimilate it now."

"Thank you, Brother Mu, haha, I also have a Spirit Tablet now." Zhu Ping was ecstatic, catching the black token with both hands, his voice trembling with excitement.

This... there was actually a Mountain God Token, and he had obtained it so easily, whereas I have been struggling for years, barely stepping into the Divine Spirit Level, and the only Spirit Tablet I managed to apply for from the ruins was merely a Kitchen God position.

Yu Jiasheng's eyes widened, momentarily unable to believe that what he was seeing was real.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ping, holding the Mountain God Token, had already chosen to assimilate it, wrapping the token with True Force and merging it with his own Divine Sense.

Accompanied by a buzzing tremor, a Mountain God that looked exactly like him appeared instantly above Zhu Ping's head.

"Thank you, Brother Mu, I also have a Spirit Tablet now, haha!" An ecstatic Zhu Ping once again earnestly thanked Xiao Mu.

They got their Spirit Tablets so easily!

Yu Jiasheng saw this and suddenly felt a bitter taste in his heart. Compared to his own hard-earned Spirit Tablet, Zhu Ping's method seemed far too easy.

"Old Zhu, congratulations."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Zhu, haha, now that Brother Zhu has a Spirit Tablet, he can finally delve deeply into the Variant Cultivation Method."

Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian both congratulated Zhu Ping.

Yu Jiasheng felt his brain couldn't quite wrap around it again—they not only had Spirit Tablets but also the Variant Cultivation Method.

"In no time, Brother Zhu's Mountain God Spirit Tablet will surpass mine. Innately, the door god position can't compare to the True God positions," Zhao Jingyan suddenly lamented.

Zhao Jingyan had a Spirit Tablet too, and it was a door god position?

Yu Jiasheng unconsciously took another look at Zhao Jingyan, only just now learning that Zhao Jingyan already had his own Spirit Tablet.

"At least Li Gujian doesn't." Looking at Li Gujian, Yu Jiasheng breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't the worst after all, even though he only had a Kitchen God position, it was still better than Li Gujian, who didn't have any Spirit Tablet.

But just as this thought arose, he heard Li Gujian proudly say, "Old Zhu, congratulations. I hope I can get my own Spirit Tablet soon as well. I knew the difficulty of obtaining a True God position was too great; I really shouldn't have been so picky and insistent on a True God position."

True... True God position?

Yu Jiasheng's newly regained confidence took another hit.

At that moment, Xiao Mu suddenly looked towards Yu Jiasheng.

Seeing this, Yu Jiasheng quickly understood, immediately stood up, and while bowing towards Xiao Mu, he said, "Brother Mu, I found an object among the treasures left by Thunder God Qing Jie that I had been tasked to find. I wonder if it meets Brother Mu's expectations."

"Brother Yu found a treasure?"

Xiao Mu wasn't surprised that Yu Jiasheng could find a treasure, being the leader of the Twilight Forest Village Protection Team; his warehouse likely had at least a few treasures.

"What kind of treasure is it?"

"This is a Punishment Command arrow left by Thunder God Qing Jie. Please have a look, Brother Mu."

As Yu Jiasheng spoke, he took out a blue command arrow-shaped object from his storage space and placed it on the altar table in front of Xiao Mu.

"Punishment Command, a command arrow?"

Xiao Mu reached out and picked up the so-called Punishment Command.

This Punishment Command Token was made from Mutated Material, containing traces of thunder, evidently used by Thunder God Qing Jie to declare punishment.

Holding the Command Token in his hand, Xiao Mu could feel a hint of the Power of Reincarnation pulsing within it. However, this power was ultimately too weak, not very strong. It appeared merely a Command Token for administering punishment to ordinary people.

"Are you giving me this object because Yu Jiasheng has reservations and this is merely a test?"

Without changing his expression, Xiao Mu took a calm glance at Yu Jiasheng and set down the Punishment Command.

Indeed, the Punishment Command was a Treasure left by Thunder God Qing Jie, but it was not a treasure used for administering the punishment. Instead, it was used to declare the punishment, a subtle yet critical difference.

"I wonder if Brother Mu is satisfied with this object and what I might exchange for it from his hands?"

Yu Jiasheng's voice revealed his nervousness as he anxiously watched Xiao Mu's expression.

Just as Xiao Mu had guessed, Yu Jiasheng was indeed testing the waters, wanting to see if Xiao Mu would genuinely offer various treasures as rewards, as he had claimed.

But this was only his thought before arriving here. After witnessing Zhu Ping exchange information for a Mountain God Token from Xiao Mu, he began to regret his own action of testing.

However, since he had begun the test, there was no stopping now; regretting at this point was futile.

"A fine treasure, but of little use to me, what do you intend to exchange for it from me?"

Xiao Mu countered Yu Jiasheng.

After some thought, Yu Jiasheng tentatively said, "If possible… I would like to exchange for a Divine Spirit Level position."

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu's expression suddenly broke into a wide smile, "This item is not worthy of a Divine Spirit Level position, Brother Yu needs to bring something more useful for that."

"Brother Zhu, transfer the Variant Cultivation Method to Brother Yu, as an exchange for this object."

"Yes, Brother Mu," Zhu Ping stood up and bowed in agreement.

"Thank you, Brother Mu," Yu Jiasheng let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't really expect Xiao Mu to let him exchange a mere Punishment Command for a Divine Spirit position; not being punished was already more than enough relief for him.

"Let's end it here."

With a wave of his right hand, Xiao Mu's expression enveloped in a bluish smoke, and his Divine Sense directly left the scene.

"Leader Yu, the item you brought is low in value. To exchange Divine Spirit Level position from Brother Mu, you need to offer equivalent value in information or treasures. Just a Punishment Command can't be exchanged for a Divine Spirit Level position, luckily Brother Mu didn't decide to punish,"

Once Xiao Mu left, Zhu Ping couldn't help but admonish Yu Jiasheng, unafraid even though the latter was the leader of the Village Protection Team.

"It's my fault for not preparing a better treasure in time," Yu Jiasheng sincerely apologized, not getting angry.

Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian also gathered around, each imparting some experience to Yu Jiasheng.

※※※

After leaving the room, Xiao Mu immediately began to check the status of the white dots inside the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

As Zhu Ping had merged with the Mountain God Token, his King's Authority Sealing Technique's borrowable authority had increased slightly, and accordingly, the white dots inside the Emperor's Seal should have increased.

Indeed, upon inspection, the white dots had increased from fourteen to sixteen.

Although the increase couldn't compare with the boost from Netherlord's position, it was still significantly higher than the authority from Zhao Jingyan's door god position.

Moreover, with the white dot count increasing to sixteen, the power of the Emperor's Seal had also gained a boost.

The density of the white dots also visibly increased, with the traces of their combination becoming clearer. Continuing this trend, Xiao Mu estimated that the collection of white dots could possibly be halfway complete.

Xiao Mu eagerly anticipated what change would occur once the white dots were fully collected.

Feeling his own power increase, Xiao Mu felt an urge to immediately send out the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown.

This emotion was quickly suppressed, and Xiao Mu began to consult the Geography Chronicles.

The Geography Chronicles recorded events that happened among ordinary citizens near Su Qing Mountain during Ancient Times, most of which were trivial matters. However, Xiao Mu's purpose in reviewing them was to discern underlying contextual information from these minor incidents to infer ancient secrets.
