Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1348 624: Temple Fair (Part 2)
Previously on Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'...
Rong Si Jiao's body completely collapsed, his soul burrowed out of the shell, wanting to follow Li Banfeng and rush out of this room.
This is a unique technique of the New Land Land God. They have died once, and although their status dropped, part of the battle power remains on Rong Si Jiao's body, allowing him to separate the soul from the body and act like a Lost Soul.
But this ability is of little use; if the body can't escape, neither can the soul.
The only benefit is that everyone doesn't have to wait for the phonograph to consume first; the soul and the body are already separated.
Hong Ying rose and stepped on Rong Si Jiao's body.
The phonograph extended a probe, capturing Rong Si Jiao's soul.
"Dear guest, my husband just has this kind of temper, and his words can be offensive, please don't take offense,
when he just said to wait for your next life, that was in anger, you don't need to worry, you definitely have no next life.
Brothers and sisters, last time when my husband brought back the dough dumplings, everyone didn't get to eat them, this time let's take advantage of the freshness, everyone dig in."
...
Snap!
Cui Tiq walked to the foot of the mountain and stepped on a fallen leaf.
He picked up the leaf; it was very thick and vividly green.
Looking at the leaf stalk, it was very neat, not broken but naturally fallen, but why would such a fresh leaf fall from the tree? Could it be a leaf created with a technique by a Color Cultivator?
Cui Tiq praised, "Incredibly realistic! It seems that the Color Cultivator's accomplishments in painting are not inferior to Painting Cultivation."
The rabbit stood beside him, not quite understanding Cui Tiq's meaning: "Are you saying these were painted by the Rong Ku God?"
"Yes, they were all painted; purely from an artistic standpoint, this can be considered a magnificent work!" Cui Tiq was marveling, suddenly discovering that the leaf in his hand was gradually fading, from vibrant green to pale green, pale green to grey-white, and finally to a mix of yellow-brown, the originally thick and fresh green leaf became a desolate dried leaf mixed with yellow-brown.
"There were leaves originally, the Color Cultivator merely added color." Cui Tiq was somewhat disappointed, changing his previous thought, "The Color Cultivator's painting skill is not that exquisite, although still outstanding in color usage, the art has taken quite a deduction because there was already an existing composition foundation."
The rabbit couldn't believe it: "The leaves on this mountain were all dyed?"
As they spoke, many leaves around them were fading; the rabbit's lips trembled, its big front teeth appearing intermittently.
"Not just these leaves, but the entire mountain." Cui Tiq leaped onto a tree, looking far into the distance.
The mountain, originally lush and green, now revealed patches of grey-white.
The rabbit watched from the tree for a while, its legs went weak.
"Impossible!"
On Rongku Mountain, the four seasons were inherent, and flourishing and withering were at the whim of the divine!
"It must be that the Rong Ku God is angry, and this is punishment for mortals." The rabbit prostrated on the ground, continuously bowing and silently praying for the Rong Ku God's forgiveness.
Cui Tiq looked around; originally verdant Rongku Mountain was now desolate, with most of the vegetation withered, only the pine trees remaining green, but looking lifeless due to being long covered in paint.
"Stop praying, the Rong Ku God will not respond to you." Cui Tiq patted the rabbit.
The rabbit dared not move: "The Rong Ku God has descended punishment; all who show disrespect to the gods will suffer severe punishment!"
"What severe punishment?" Cui Tiq sincerely asked for knowledge.
The rabbit momentarily didn't know how to explain, so Cui Tiq picked up the rabbit, pointing to a cow's skeleton and asking: "Are you talking about him?"
The rabbit looked closely at the wild cow: "That's right, it's him! This wild cow was still alive yesterday, and today he looks like this, with the very thought of flourishing and withering, the Rong Ku God's one thought made him..."
Cui Tiq inspected the cow's corpse and said to the rabbit: "This cow died here because it ate the toxic paint, dying from poisoning, and the body suffered severe corrosion from the paint,
there are still many remnants of paint on this mountain, and these paints are deadly to most creatures in this territory, so for a long time to come, you all can't come to this mountain to forage,
but there's good news, you no longer need to fear punishment from Rong Si Jiao, he was purely a Color Cultivator, everything you saw on the mountain was a scene he created with paint, and now these paints losing control proves his life has also reached its end."
The rabbit looked up at Cui Tiq: "You're saying the Rong Ku God is gone?"
"Yes, he's gone." Cui Tiq didn't know how to comfort a rabbit, nor did he know how to comfort the creatures in this territory in the future.
He returned to the original place and met up with Li Banfeng, who gave him a great suggestion: "Don't try to comfort them, let the Rong Ku God comfort them."
Li Banfeng handed two Contract Books to Cui Tiq: "From now on, you are the Rong Ku God; after some time together, you'll surely manage to adapt to each other."

Inner State, Wubian City.
Luo Lijun entered Xuanhai Medicine, Pharmacist Lang Daoshou, and Physician Xie Baheng came forward together to salute.
"Greetings, Mr. Luo."
Luo Lijun waved: "Dispense with formalities, how is the research on the medicine going?"
Pharmacist Lang Daoshou was about to speak, but Physician Xie Baheng quickly said: "We haven't detected the properties of the medicine yet, we ask Mr. Luo to give us more time."
"How much more time do you need?" Luo Lijun was angry, "The ready-made medicine is in front of you, you can't even Yihulu Huapiao?"
Xie Baheng, a crab, quickly apologized: "I am incompetent, please forgive us, Mr. Luo."
"Where has Dan Yuzhu gone?"
