To acquire the Soul of a Soldier, one must first know the whereabouts of battlefield relics. Only in the location of such ancient battlefields can one find the existence of the Soul of a Soldier.

Fortunately, the history of the Divine Land is so long and countless dynasties have succeeded one another. Thus, finding a suitable ancient battlefield is not a hard task, and surely there is one in Nanke City.

However, Xiao Mu, who doesn't know much about local history, doesn't know where the ancient battlefields are.

After some thought, he posted a thread on the local forum, sending out an inquiry under his old ID, Hua Qing.

Hua Qing: Can anyone help? Does anyone know where the ancient battlefield is in our city?

The local forum is very lively, with no shortage of people messing around or posting aimlessly.

Soon, someone replied:

Big Spoon: First to comment!

Sacrifice Antoon (Replying to Big Spoon): @Big Spoon, is commenting first as good as opening a furniture store?

PJ Little Writer: 666 to the previous posters, just watching from the sidelines.

...

A pile of useless comments, until after a dozen or so, I finally saw a serious reply.

Thrown up last night because she's too dark and has a smell: Haha! The question raised by the host is so stupid. With a history of five thousand years up and down, where isn't an ancient battlefield? Maybe the ground you're standing on is an ancient battlefield.

Xiao Mu looked at the reply and his face darkened, this guy is clearly just stirring the pot.

Hua Qing: To the friend above, I'm asking about ancient battlefield relics, meaning ancient battlefields where relics are still preserved.

I'm a Serious Person: Let me answer you. The Qiwu Mountain in the east of Nanke City is an ancient battlefield. It is said that there was a great war between the Qing army and the Ming army when they entered the pass, but I'm not very clear about the name of the battle.

By the way, are you looking for something? Why do you ask about ancient battlefield relics?

Hua Qing: @I'm a Serious Person, thank you!

"Qiwu Mountain!"

Xiao Mu closed the webpage and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

After the World Mutation, Nanke City, a third-tier city, is now bigger than a province used to be. To get to Qiwu Mountain on the eastern side of the city, you have to take a train.

Fortunately, after the World Mutation, transportation seems to be more developed than before.

"Looks like, I must make a trip to Qiwu Mountain."

After considering for a moment, Xiao Mu started to prepare for the trip to Qiwu Mountain.

Firstly, the Peach Wood Sword must be taken with him, Dao Talisman also had better bring some. Unfortunately, the previous Dao Talisman have been used up, but thankfully he bought yellow paper recently and can remake them.

He took out the yellow paper and brush, and Xiao Mu began to create Dao Talisman.

"This piece of Premium Yellow Paper..."

The first one was that piece of Premium Yellow Paper. Xiao Mu held it in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to set this piece of Premium Yellow Paper aside.

This kind of Premium Yellow Paper is too rare, it's better to wait until he's capable of making a Thunder Symbol to use it.

The power of the Fire Talisman is limited, there's really no need to waste a piece of Premium Yellow Paper.

He laid out the other yellow papers on the table. Four hundred grams of yellow paper sound a lot, but in fact, it's only a few dozen sheets, after all, this mutated yellow paper is very heavy, one piece is more than ten grams.

With brush in hand, Xiao Mu began to draw various Dao talismans on the yellow papers.

Fire Talisman, Peace Talisman, Armor amulet, Spirit Armor Talisman, Ward Off Evil Talisman, Suppressing Evil Talisman, and so on. The main focus was the Fire Talisman, he drew more than twenty or thirty pieces, and for the other various Dao talismans he drew two or three each, making a total of forty or fifty pieces.

After finishing drawing forty or fifty Dao talismans, it was already deep into the night. Fortunately, after practicing Taoist Law, Xiao Mu's physique was far beyond that of the average person.

The physique purified by the practice of Dao Method Spiritual Energy is naturally superior to that of martial arts.

Although martial arts is about honing the body, making it stronger, it is still a human body, no matter how strong it becomes.

However, the cultivation of Dao method spiritual energy changes the constitution of a person from the root, eventually entering another level.

I booked a train ticket, slept for a night, and then set off by train for Qiwu Mountain on time the next day.

The number of people on the typically crowded train decreased dramatically since the World Mutation.

The world had become perilous, and regular people hardly dared to venture out. In the carriage Xiao Mu was riding, there were only about a dozen people in total.

Across from Xiao Mu, there were three teenagers, a group of boys and girls. Judging from their ages, they were all probably 16 or 17, likely high school students.

But that was before the World Mutation.

After the World Mutation, all sorts of changes occurred. Going to school and getting a good job after graduation were no longer the only choices, nor the best one.

The best choice was to become a Mutated Being. Whether through acquiring Martial Arts Secret Scripts for cultivation or by eating a Mutant Fruit to mutate, as long as one became a Mutated Being, they instantly become superior to others.

These three teenagers were obviously Mutated Beings, Xiao Mu could tell at a glance.

Among them, a charismatic girl with a great figure was a martial artist. She looked about 16 or 17, with bright, pure eyes that sparkled like tiny stars.

The other two boys, who appeared to be about the same age, were also more than they seemed. One of them, a quiet boy, had snake-like scales covering his skin. He was clearly a mutant whose body had transformed after eating a certain fruit.

The other boy, dressed in sportswear and obviously a martial artist too, was clearly attracted to the girl and was continuously making an effort to charm her.

"Crack! Crack!"

The girl, sitting across from Xiao Mu by the window, was cracking sunflower seeds. She carefully caught each shell, then placed it on the fruit tray on the table, trying not to disturb others.

This endeared her to Xiao Mu, who was sitting across from her.

"Oh! Big brother, I'm sorry!"

As Xiao Mu tried to pick up his water bottle, his hand brushed against the girl's soft damp one as she was about to drop a seed shell onto the fruit plate.

The girl blushed and quickly apologized to Xiao Mu.

"It's nothing."

Xiao Mu gave the girl a slight smile.

On the other hand, the boy in the tracksuit next to the girl immediately got anxious. He glared at Xiao Mu, then kept staring at the hand that Xiao Mu had just touched the girl's with, looking at it with such blatant jealousy that it seemed as if he wished he could chop it off.

Xiao Mu's gaze just skimmed past the boy in the tracksuit. He smiled and turned to the girl, "Are you guys going to Qiwu Mountain?"

The train's final stop was Qiwu Mountain.

The girl's voice was crisp and she was very talkative, "Yes, big brother! We heard there were Battlefield Relics there, we're going to look for Evil Ghosts."

"Looking for Evil Ghosts?"

Xiao Mu's gaze swept over the girl and her companions, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Searching for Evil Ghosts, he could understand.

After all, after the World Mutation, all Mutated Beings were on the hunt for Evil Ghosts, as killing them could yield Energy Crystals. Absorbing the Energy Crystals could quickly enhance one's abilities.

However, in Xiao Mu's view, the girl and the others were still too weak. With their current level of power, venturing to the ancient battlefield of Qiwu Mountain in search of Evil Ghosts was a bit too rash.

Shaking his head, he casually advised, "Little sister, there is no need to go to an ancient battlefield to find Evil Ghosts. Such places are too dangerous. One can also find Evil Ghosts in the city."

There were also Evil Ghosts in the city. With proper searches and numerous information sources, it's possible to find them too, and the danger would be much less than in the wilderness, especially more so than in places like ancient battlefields.

Ancient battlefields were potential spawning grounds for Curse Ghosts.

Xiao Mu could easily gauge the girl's strength level - she was probably at the Body Temperer stage, the beginner level for martial artists.

The acquired realm of inner energy practices, there were a total of five levels, and as a lot of people practiced them, the divisions were already published on the internet.

They were the Body Temperer, Blood Refiner, Bone Forger, Marrow Solidifier, and the Five Internal Organs levels respectively.

Characters like King Qingshan and Red Thread Woman were at the Bone Forger level, their realms more or less on par with Xiao Mu's current Spirit Communication Realm.

The fact that the girl and her companions, who were just at the Body Temperer stage, were thinking of going into the mountains to find Evil Ghosts, in Xiao Mu's opinion, was a serious overestimation of their abilities.
