Chapter 614: The Nunnery on the Mountain
Outside the window, the clouds were tinged a peachy pink by the setting sun. It was mesmerizing, yet light and delicate rather than garish.
Behind the inn, bolts of cloth fluttered sharply in the wind from the textile workshop.
In a room on the second floor of the inn, the Daoist and the cat were in deep conversation.
“Lady Calico, your Boulder Legion can already be considered a minor success,” Song You said. “Even if you were to face a battalion of seasoned troops, unless there were men among them skilled enough to shatter bricks and split stone, or unless they had catapults, they’d hardly stand a chance against the Mountain God you summoned. Even when matched against cultivators, it’s rare these days for anyone to easily deal with such a stone giant.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “But even with stone giants of equal size, there are still differences in strength. Some are stronger and swifter, others are weaker and slower. That all depends on one’s own cultivation, skill, and mastery of the spell.”
“What about mine?”
“Very impressive,” the Daoist said. “With more practice, they’ll become even more impressive.”
“More practice!”
“And when Boulder Transformation is used alongside Boulder Legion, the stone of the Mountain God turns into golden steel, which is heavier and sturdier. This also tests the Mountain God’s strength. Otherwise, he won’t even be able to move.”
“No wonder my Mountain God became tougher, but also slower!”
“You still need more practice.”
“More practice!”
