A while ago, there was still chaos and war.
Now, looking at it again, it's as if someone had sliced this continent into two, turning it into two separate continents.
Between the two continents, there is a sea separating them.
Moreover, the chaos has vanished, the situation is stabilized, and there's a thriving atmosphere of martial prosperity and rising fortune.
Although there are still minor conflicts and small wars between the two continents, these are internal wars, causing no real harm, but instead inspiring the cultivation and growth of cultivators.
From this situation, it seems as if one side has won.
It is unknown whether the invaders succeeded or the defenders managed to protect their land.
However, it doesn't matter; instead, Su Mu seems to cultivate more efficiently, and he continues to delve into cultivation techniques.
Even though he can directly add points through the system, revisiting the techniques in his spare time still brings new insights, perhaps this is what is meant by "reviewing the old to understand the new."
....
The next day, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, his aura had grown somewhat.
With a thought, he opened his attribute panel:
[Host: Su Mu]

[Mastered Divine Techniques: Water Control (Level 4), Swimming (Level 4)]
[Mastered Techniques: Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique (Seventh Layer), Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength (Seventh Layer), Holy Abyss Technique (Tenth Layer), Nine Secrets (Second Layer), God-Striking Treasure Technique (Second Layer)]

[River Affinity: 8%]
[River Favor Points: 123,000 points]
.....
I've saved up to a hundred thousand again, let's upgrade a bit.
[Favor Points - 100000]
[River Affinity: 8%]→[River Affinity: 9%]
Another hundred thousand favor points, and I can raise it to 10%, which is a major breakthrough and allows further improvement in divine techniques.
The remaining twenty-three thousand favor points will be saved for special situations.
....
The favor points have been almost spent, bringing back a sense of urgency.
At this moment, Nannan awoke and handed a sheepskin scroll to Su Mu, saying, "Daddy, here!"
Su Mu took the sheepskin scroll and opened it to read.
[Walking downstream about three hundred meters, turning left at a fork, you'll reach a low-lying water area, where a large amount of weed has been found—(To Do)]
....
[Walking downstream about a thousand meters, you'll reach a small cliff with rapid water flow, where a stone dam was washed away—(To Do)]
.....
[Walking upstream about three thousand meters, you'll see a large tree with a tree hole beneath it, housing a squirrel—(To Do)]
....
[Walking upstream about five thousand six hundred meters to a water area, there's a very fierce large black fish frequently appearing; Nannan has seen it several times but dares not catch it—(To Do)]
....
After reading, Su Mu put away the sheepskin scroll and smiled, ruffling Nannan's hair, "For this period, there's no need to patrol for Daddy, just enjoy yourself."
"Let Third Brother or Big Brother take you out to play."
Hearing this, Nannan's eyes lit up with little stars of anticipation, "Daddy, can I really?"
"But you can't play too long, you have to come back before dark."
Su Mu felt a bit sorry seeing Nannan staying with him in this desolate place every day, given how understanding she was. Children at this age should have their childhood joys.
Now that Nannan's cultivation has also improved a lot, he feels reassured letting her go out with either Big Brother or Third Brother for a day.
"Okay!"
At this moment, Su Mu led Nannan to the riverside.
After releasing spiritual sense, the Little Black Dragon and the Golden Python quickly arrived at the bank, as Big Brother and Third Brother had been sticking close lately, so Su Mu simply called both over.
"Take Nannan out to play, but don't go too far, just come back before dark."
Su Mu instructed Big Brother and Third Brother.
Upon saying that, Little Nannan jumped onto Little Black Dragon, grabbing its horns.
Just like that, Little Black Dragon carried Little Nannan across the water, disappearing into the distance.
...
Su Mu took out the sheepskin scroll recorded by Little Nannan and began patrolling.
Because sometimes when he goes out for patrol, Little Nannan would patrol in the opposite direction and document any anomalies.
After recording for some time, Su Mu would handle everything in a single day.
...
He had never taught Little Nannan to write, yet she learned on her own, and her writing didn't seem like it was from a child; it was robust and vigorous, with a sharp edge.
Moreover, Little Nannan's records were very detailed, noting how many meters to walk, what reference points there were, all precisely noted.
[Congratulations host, for clearing the weeds, Favor Points +35]
...
[Congratulations host, for clearing the weeds, Favor Points +15]
...
[Congratulations host, for clearing the weeds, Favor Points +20]
...
This somewhat hidden water area surprisingly had so much weed, growing over a meter high.
It took Su Mu an hour to completely clear it, earning a total of four thousand favor points, showing how terrifyingly these weeds had grown.
After meticulously handling the weeds, Su Mu moved to another reach of the water.
The river became narrow, and there was a sloped gradient, causing the river flow to be extremely rapid, with a stone dam and the adjacent river path being somewhat washed away.
Su Mu Rolled up his sleeves and began repairing the river course.
The river current here was too fast, so Su Mu used a divine technique to make this area of water static, making it more convenient for repairs.
After spending about half an hour, the damaged river course was repaired, and to prevent it from washing away again, Su Mu gathered several large bluestones for reinforcement.
Once done, five thousand favor points were credited to his account.
In an instant, over nine thousand, nearly ten thousand favor points were gained.
Indeed, over time, Little Nannan has helped Su Mu gather quite a few favor points.
.....
Su Mu found no time for rest, immediately rushing to the next water area, having clear objectives certainly increases efficiency.
Not like his usual patrols, mostly relying on luck.
....
By morning, thirty thousand favor points had already been credited.
On the sheepskin scroll, only one final task was left.
Soon, he arrived upstream and saw a massive ancient tree.
Upon approaching, he also found on the tree trunk facing the water, a squirrel's tree hole with a diameter of half a meter.
As this was Su Mu's first encounter with such a tree hole situation, he didn't know if it counted as maintaining the waterway.
Approaching the tree hole, he looked inside and his eyes lit up upon finding something!
