Chapter 21

Ang tilted his head, but Negris had already involuntarily drawn in a sharp breath: "The Holy Maiden of Light!? No wonder she has such a deep understanding of divine magic. Good heavens, this lich married the Holy Maiden of Light? Good heavens!"

Marrying the Holy Maiden of Light is as dangerous as bathing in sulfuric acid. Isn't he afraid of being dissolved?

Lisa, moved to tears, left with a devout belief, leaving behind a bewildered Ang, who tilted his head. These things were actually beyond his comprehension. What beliefs, faith, divine power, and elemental power were, he only knew that Lisa borrowed his magic and would return a thicker soul flame, and he didn't lose anything. That was enough for him.

Looking at the pile of bones left by Filin and the luminescent moss he had planted, Ang casually threw the bull's head into the bone pile and ran back to tend to the luminescent moss. Compared to those complex power systems, this was something he was familiar with.

The luminescent moss was growing vigorously, at least four to five times taller than when Ang had collected them from the rock crevices, resembling some fern-like plants.

If they were to be used as food, they could be harvested at this size; any larger and they would become too old.

But Ang clearly wasn't using them as food; he was using them as a lighting tool. He separated them row by row, brought in fertile soil, built up mounds, and sowed seeds, just as he had done in the luminescent moss field.

However, this time, on the stone slabs, the mounds couldn't be piled too high, but that was fine. He would try it out first, and when the plants grew a bit larger and the mounds couldn't stabilize their roots, he would transplant them.

After a series of operations, a multi-layered planting garden on a large stone slab was formed. Just as he was about to water it, Ang suddenly thought of the Purification Spell.

The Purification Spell can purify filth. Can it also purify the dirt and impurities in the water?

When planting crops, pests cannot be ignored. His Burned Field Spell was actually a result of being forced by pests. While burning the field, the pests in the soil would also be killed.

Thinking of this, Ang chose a stone slab, first purifying it with the Purification Spell, then burying the seeds, and marking a line on the edge of the stone slab.

He then chose another stone slab, irrigated it with purified holy water, and marked two lines on the edge.

Finally, he chose a third stone slab, first purifying the soil, then irrigating it with holy water, and marking three lines.

This way, the three stone slabs would form a control group, making it clear which one had the best crop growth.

This habit was something Ang learned when he was burying bone powder. In one field, the first year he buried bones, the crops grew well. The second year, he buried bone powder, and the crops grew even better. The third year, he buried more bone powder, and the crops withered.

Looking at the withered farmland, Ang pondered for half a year and finally came up with a good idea. He buried fifty acres of farmland with different proportions of bone powder, seeing which one grew the best, and then used that as the standard.

From then on, he couldn't stop. Ang buried everything he could find in the ground, in different proportions, and selected the best ratio.

However, there wasn't much to be found in the Palace of Rest. The only things beneficial to crops were bone powder, wood ash, and bird droppings. The bird droppings were too few, so Ang couldn't determine the best ratio.

Experience was summarized, and habits were formed. Setting up the same control group, Ang set up three sets, which was nine stone slabs.

On his way back to fetch water, passing by the pile of bones, a furious soul's roar suddenly sounded, and a tall skeleton with a bull's head climbed out of the bone pile.

Ang had thrown the bull's head into the pile, and there was already a soul in that head, a furious soul.

Any soul, if hung on a wall for decades, would likely be as furious as this bull's head. Unfortunately, it had no hands or feet and couldn't pull itself down from the wall.

In the pile of bones Filin sent, there was a complete set of bull-headed bones. He must have seen Ang holding a bull's head and sent it over specifically.

After some effort, Ang harmonized with the bones, and the bull-headed skeleton angrily stood up, ready to trample everything in sight!!!

The angry bull-headed skeleton stood up, took its first step, saw Ang in front of it, and angrily roared. It lowered its head, aiming its sharp horns at Ang, and charged, but... it fell!

A small zombie darted out from the side, directly colliding with its knee, knocking its lower leg off, and the entire skeleton collapsed with a thud. The detached bull's leg bone was picked up by the small zombie.

The angry bull-headed skeleton tried to get up, but as soon as it lifted its head, the small zombie hit it on the cheek with its leg bone, right where it had been cut by the Ash Bone Skeleton.

This spot was indeed a vital point for the skeleton, and a hit there easily caused a soul tremor, similar to a human's concussion.

The bull-headed skeleton's soul buzzed for a long time before it recovered. Just as it finally recovered, the small zombie's bone club came down again, causing another buzz.

After a few repetitions, it was proven that skeletons weren't really stupid. After being hit a few times, it learned to protect its head and lay flat on the ground, refusing to get up.

The small zombie dragged it away by its other intact leg. If Ang hadn't stopped it from killing the skeletons, it would have already broken the bull-headed skeleton's neck, pulled out its soul fire from its eye socket, crushed it, and devoured it.

Only after the bull-headed skeleton was dragged away by the small zombie did Ang straighten his body. He had already crouched down, ready to 'call.' With his current soul strength, a single soul scream would have burst the bull-headed skeleton's soul. The small zombie had saved this bull.

The next day, Ang noticed that the three stone slabs irrigated only with holy water emitted a slightly brighter light. Individually, it wasn't noticeable, but among the moss that hadn't been irrigated with holy water, it was quite prominent.

The three stone slabs that were only purified but not irrigated with holy water had some withered luminescent moss.

The other three stone slabs that were both irrigated and purified showed no change in the luminescent moss, but a new type of plant grew in the soil.
