In the end, Li Mu gave up on the joy of continuing to harvest Zhang Shan. Even if one was harvesting sheep's wool, one could not always hold onto a sheep, let alone a person.
In order to make up for his mental loss, Li Mu specially returned him a few more copper coins. Zhang Shan left happily, so Li Mu took the opportunity to harvest another wave of harvest.
The harvest from Zhang Shan gave Li Mu a deeper understanding of how to collect the seven emotions.
This did not seem to be a very mysterious thing. Zhang Shan loved money, so when Li Mu returned his money, Zhang Shan felt happy. This joy was because of Li Mu, so it could be absorbed by him …
If he could make more people feel happy, wouldn't he be able to condense the first soul very quickly?
The joy of returning money, the joy of receiving help, the joy of gratitude, perhaps he could absorb all of these …
After thinking this through, Li Mu could not sit still anymore.
Although the yamen had given him a month's leave and he could rest at home during this month, to him, time was more precious than anything else. He only had less than half a year left, so how could he afford to waste any time?
The easiest way to make others feel happy was to help them.
After living two lives, Li Mu had never been so positive as he was now. He only wanted to help others. Although his goal was not pure, the process was full of kindness and beauty.
For him, the easiest way to continue to feel happy was to return the money.
After paying off Zhang Shan's debt, he still owed Li Si more than a copper coin.
Li Mu did not delay at all. After changing into his bailiff uniform, he went to the main street.
The street in front of Li Mu's house was called "Weiyang Street". Weiyang Street ran through Yangqiu County City and was under the jurisdiction of Li Mu. Everything that happened on this street was under Li Mu's management.
A few days ago, he had taken a leave of absence due to a work-related injury, so this street was now under Li Si's jurisdiction.
Li Mu easily found Li Si. He was about to enter a brothel when Li Mu stopped him at the door.
Li Mu returned the money he owed Li Si to him, and in order to reap his joy, he even gave him more than ten copper coins.
"Thanks." Li Si put away the silver, waved his hand and said, "Since your body is fine, you will be in charge of this street in the future. I still have things to do, so I will leave first …"
Seeing Li Si striding into the brothel, Li Mu's face was full of confusion.
The development of the situation was slightly different from what he had expected.
Logically speaking, even if he wasn't as happy as Zhang Shan when he returned the money to Li Si, he should at least be a little happy.
Unless he didn't like money.
Li Mu recalled that of his two colleagues, Zhang Shan was greedy for money, and Li Si was lustful. Silver was far less tempting to Li Si than it was to Zhang Shan.
This was troublesome. Li Mu couldn't invite him to visit a brothel. His salary wouldn't even be enough to make a splash at a brothel.
What's more, Li Si never paid when he visited a brothel. Sometimes, he could even earn some silver.
Since he couldn't get any money from Li Si, he could only find other targets.
Li Mu walked around the street for two hours. In these two hours, he helped two naughty children take down a kite hanging on a tree, sent a lost old woman home, and gave a bowl of water to a dog sticking its tongue out under the scorching sun. In the end, he sadly found that he gained the most joy from that dog …
This was only relative. Overall, the joy he absorbed was pitifully little.
If this continued, who knew how long it would take for him to condense the first essence …
"Looks like you've already found a way." A voice suddenly came from behind him.
Li Mu turned his head and said in surprise, "Boss …"
Li Qing was still dressed in green. Looking at Li Mu, her gaze gradually turned to surprise. She said, "You've only been at the Qi Drawing Realm for a few hours, but you can already sense the seven emotions. How can you advance so quickly …"
Li Mu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Li Qing seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "What are your birth characters?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Wu Chen, Geng Wu, Bing Wu, Ren Chen."
Li Qing's expression suddenly understood. She said, "Four pillars of pure Yang, no wonder …"
Li Mu didn't hear clearly. He asked, "What's pure Yang?"
Li Qing explained, "The Four Pillars of Pure Yang are those born in the Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, and Yang time. They can absorb and gather spiritual energy by themselves. After learning the art of guiding and stepping onto the path of cultivation, their cultivation speed will far exceed that of ordinary people."
Li Mu only understood half of it, but he managed to understand that he seemed to be quite talented in cultivation. The more talented he was, the sooner he could condense the seven essences. This was naturally a good thing.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Qing glanced at him again and said, "Don't be happy too early. Although the Pure Yang body is suitable for cultivation, it's not necessarily a good thing. The Pure Yang, Pure Yin, and Five Elements bodies are great supplements for evil spirits. At the same time, it will also attract the covetous eyes of Heretical Cultivation. Once exposed, your life will be in danger …"
The little bit of pride in Li Mu's heart had long disappeared. He couldn't help but wonder if the death of his predecessor was because of this. The soul of the Pure Yang body was a supplement for evil spirits. Before he came, Li Mu's three souls and seven essences had also disappeared for no reason. He was 100% sure that he had encountered evil spirits.
He couldn't help but lean toward Li Qing and say, "Boss, what should I do …"
Li Qing looked at him and comforted him, "Don't worry. As long as you don't tell anyone your birth date and horoscope, no one will be able to tell that you have the Pure Yang body. Moreover, this is a county town. No matter how bold those evil spirits are, they won't dare to cause trouble here …"
Li Mu complained in his heart. The evil spirits had already caused trouble once. Who knew if there would be a second time?
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud. After all, admitting that the evil spirits had swallowed Li Mu's three souls and seven essences was tantamount to admitting that he wasn't Li Mu. Once the county government found out, he was afraid that he would be directly treated as an evil spirit.
Li Qing looked at him one last time and said, "Well, go on patrol. When you have refined enough of the seven emotions, I will teach you the way to condense the seven essences …"
Walking on the street, Li Mu's mood was much more relaxed than before.
Although he had lost his seven essences and his life was in danger, he already had a way to save himself and a direction to work towards.
Among the seven emotions, the feeling of joy was the easiest to obtain. Helping others, collecting the feeling of joy and condensing the first essence was his short-term goal.
Li Mu's gaze swept across the crowd. He wasn't prepared to give up on any opportunity.
At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had found his next target.
It was a plainly dressed woman. She stood in the middle of the street as if she had encountered some trouble. Her face was full of anxiety. She stopped the passersby one by one, as if she wanted to ask for their help. However, the passersby turned a blind eye to her …
She stood in the middle of the crowded street, looking helpless and sorrowful …
"Public morals are degenerating day by day, public morals are degenerating day by day …" Looking at the cold-blooded and heartless passerby, Li Mu sighed. He quickly walked forward and asked, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Mu. She said in disbelief, "Sir, are you talking to a commoner?"
Li Mu was speechless. "Other than you, who else could it be?"
The woman's face lit up. Li Mu was about to speak when a passerby walked past him. The passerby gave him a strange look.
While Li Mu was puzzled, he saw the passerby pass through the woman's body …
Under the scorching sun, Li Mu stood in the crowded street. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The woman looked at Li Mu and asked in delight, "Sir, can you see me?"
"I can't see!" Li Mu looked up at the sky and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He shook his head and said, "The sun today is too glaring. I can't see anything …"
