While Lin Wu was looking over the Dao Traces and pondering on the best ones to optimize for his second Dao Shell, he suddenly got a communication request.

"Oh?" Lin Wu looked at the notification and saw that it was none other than Wang Xiong contacting him. "Allow it, system." He ordered.

~DING~

——

COMMUNICATION LINK: Established

Target: Wang Xiong

Link Strength: Strong

In the next moment, Lin Wu heard Wang Xiong's voice in his head.

"Senior, you were right!" Wang Xiong said out loud.

"Calm down, what do you mean by that?" Lin Wu was a bit surprised by the shout.

"The Kingdoms of the south as well as the Chan and Dark Plains sect, they are willing to ask you for help." Wang Xiong replied.

"Oh? What made them do that? They didn't seem to ask when the Calamity Fiend was troubling them." Lin Wu questioned. "If something that big didn't trouble them, then what is it this time?"

"This time they are in a trouble that is bound to cause their downfall if they don't act. At least the Calamity Fiend is something that only attacks the populace. The rest of them can still hide away and protect themselves.

Plus the Calamity Fiend is also something that can be repelled with enough power. The same cannot be said for this issue." Wang Xiong answered. "It the unknown blight spreading among their crops."

"I see… I'm guessing even their reserve crops are getting affected by it?" Lin Wu asked.

"Indeed. At the rate at which the Blight is spreading, it wouldn't be long before all nine kingdoms, as well as the sects located there, would be affected by it. While the Blight doesn't affect the spirit herbs or spirit plants, it devastates the normal corps which is needed for the commoners as well as lower ranked cultivators." Wang Xiong replied in detail.

"Mmm… what more do you know about this blight?" Lin Wu asked next.

"I've prepared some comprehensive information since I know you've been in seclusion, senior." Wang Xiong said before taking out a jade slip.

"We've managed to confirm that it is spreading through water for long distances and though air for short distance. It started from the White Loom Kingdom and spread to the Peony Plains Kingdom because of the underground aquifers that pass through the mountains there.

But I don't think that's all. I think that even if we treat the crops on the surface, the blight might still continue spreading after having infected the underground water. Plus, it isn't like the kingdoms can destroy all their corps and have nothing for later.

Because of all this, the kings of the southern kingdoms, as well as the patriarchs, have come to the decision to ask you for help." Wang Xiong recited the proposal that had been prepared.

"Mmm… And they are ready to accept everything?" Lin Wu asked for confirmation.

"Indeed. They are willing to pay any price. We simply need to tell them, after you come up with a solution." Wang Xiong replied.

"Alright. I'll take care of it." Lin Wu agreed.

"Good, I'll inform them right away." Wang Xiong stated. "Also, should I send you the samples of the blight?" he asked.

"No, it'll be easier if I just take a look myself. Besides, there might be some chances that the blight might not be in the same condition as in the fields. Making it harder to find a solution." Lin Wu explained.

"Oh! You will be coming here yourself?" Wang Xiong was surprised.

"I will. But just to investigate the blight. As for the solution, I'll send one of my subordinates. I don't want to waste time talking with the people there." Lin Wu replied.

"I understand." Wang Xiong nodded his head.

"I'll tell you when I'm ready." Lin Wu said before cutting the link.

~HUU~

"Oh, yeah… it's all coming together…" Lin Wu smiled widely.

He scrolled though a few windows before speaking, "the effects are just like the simulations, right system? No issues so far?"

~DING~

——

ANSWER: There have been some minor deviations, but they are mostly due to the human interference. The cure for the Blight is still the same.

——

Seeing the system's answer, Lin Wu felt pleased.

"It took over a year for the Blight to start working properly, but its all worth it. I'll be able to extend my 'open' influence freely over a good part of the south now." Lin Wu chuckled.

He knew directly doing this was not something that would be taken kindly by the powers on the continent. Even if Lin Wu had good links to the Lian clan and the Ji clan, it didn't mean that he could just throw caution to the wind.

This way, he could assert his influence rightfully and it would even be welcomed. It would be the kingdoms and sects that would be in his 'debt' with it too, reducing any unpredictable 'opposition' coming from them.

The Blight was just a common fungal infection that the corps got in this world. Lin Wu had obtained multiple such pathogenic fungi that affected plants, and got the system to modify them.

It was actually easy due to the Chimeric Fiend worm Bloodline's innate ability of Poison synthesis. It considered the fungus to be poison too since there were actually a lot of beasts that used symbiotic fungi as poison.

Of course, Lin Wu didn't want it to be too volatile and thus let the system modulate its effectiveness. At the maximum level, it was a devastating fungus that would even kill spirit herbs and plants.

That wasn't something that Lin Wu wanted, as it could potentially pose great danger to his own orchards and the forest. Even if the 'cure' was spread quickly, the damage done would still be there and the cost would be paid.

Hence, Lin Wu got the system to 'weaken' the fungus such that it only affected normal crops and was ineffective on spirit plants.

"Hmm… three days of time should be enough to respond. I'll get the servants ready for it till then." Lin Wu decided.
