I Come to Teach You Cultivation

At the very edge of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, at the entrance of the Hundred Lands Grand Canal.

Ling Guzi had just returned with a full load and had not yet had time to find Lord Tingyao to report the good news when she was blocked on the river course by Xuansi Gu who had a face full of anger.

Amid the curious gazes of countless passing boats, a giant bronze snake floated in the center of the waterway.

Opposite the bronze giant snake, a charming and beautiful woman silently floated in mid-air.

Even though she said not a word, even without any excessive actions...

But anyone with eyes could see Xuansi Gu’s anger at that moment.

Of course, as the perpetrator, Ling Guzi could also see it clearly.

"Well... actually... I..."

After stammering for a long time, Ling Guzi really couldn’t find a suitable reason and could only choose to remain silent.

"Speak up! What kind of herbs did you go out to find this time?"

Fortunately, after a brief burst of anger, Xuansi Gu didn’t fly into a rage.

After all, after experiencing such things many times, anyone would get used to it.

To say one is accustomed might be a bit of an exaggeration, but Xuansi Gu’s threshold had indeed increased significantly.

"Uh, the materials for the ’Elixir of Immortality’."

As soon as Ling Guzi said this, Xuansi Gu didn’t even realize what that term meant.

"I knew it, you must have..."

"Wait! Elixir of Immortality!? Is it that Elixir of Immortality I’m thinking of!?"

Her pupils suddenly shook violently, and Xuansi Gu was so scared she almost reverted to her original form.

In fact, not only was Xuansi Gu startled, but Lord Tingyao who was eavesdropping from afar almost couldn’t hold it together.

Although he had long known Ling Guzi’s capability of causing trouble, he didn’t expect it to be such a big deal this time.

That is the Elixir of Immortality!

Whether in legend or reality, it is a thing well-known far and wide.

"Not the Elixir of Immortality, but the auxiliary materials for it?"

Tilting her head and pondering, Ling Guzi said somewhat uncertainly.

Then, Ling Guzi took out that broken finger bone, revealing the embryonic and unformed invisible body within.

"You lunatic!"

Xuansi Gu was not someone without insights.

Especially after switching to the Celestial Human Technique, she could clearly feel the vibrant life force within that embryonic invisible body.

"Is this thing alive? I think I see it struggling?"

Just as Xuansi Gu had said, although Meng Zhang was sealed within the finger bone, he was still alive.

The embryonic invisible body constantly struggled, trying to break free from Ling Guzi’s seal, indirectly causing most of the finger bone to be dyed a cyan-green color.

"Yes, he is alive, and moreover, he is a god."

Gently shaking the finger bone, Ling Guzi casually explained the origin of Meng Zhang.

"He claims to be one of the four divine lords under the East Sea God, who luckily survived from Wu Yi’s hands."

"Then got schemed against and became a part of the ’Elixir of Immortality’."

"Honestly speaking, the entity that designed this ’Elixir of Immortality’ refining ritual is indeed very wise..."

"Clearly, they did not know the correct formula for the ’Elixir of Immortality’, maybe not even knowing what materials are needed for it."

"So they adopted another method — Gu Refining."

"Or more precisely, those who set up this ritual were simulating..."

Without waiting for Ling Guzi to finish speaking, Xuansi Gu raised her volume and interrupted his sermon.

"Ling Guzi!!!"

The sudden increase in volume startled Ling Guzi and also startled the nearby boats.

[Tsk tsk tsk, that female spider is really cautious.]

Turning his head indifferently, Lord Tingyao regretted not being able to hear the subsequent content.

But he also knew that continuing to listen would be somewhat impolite.

In any mythology or legend, there are hardly any good endings for anything associated with the [Elixir of Immortality].

[However, this is the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...]

[With Li Boyang around, maybe I could actually witness the birth of the ’Elixir of Immortality’?]

...........................

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Gao Family Village.

Despite possessing high prestige, Panhu, who was tall and robust, still worked daily in the fields.

However, compared to before, Panhu’s work now involved directing the bronze beasts to toil rather than personally cultivating the land.

Meanwhile, under Panhu’s guidance, Gao Family Village proactively expanded the village’s roads.

In a sense, beyond the Li Family Village and Gaotun Village, Gao Family Village should be considered the best in road construction.

Li Family Village enjoyed great advantages due to the presence of Li Boyang.

Gaotun Village was in charge of coordinating the planning of the mountain paths and rural roads throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, benefiting from proximity and convenience.

Gao Family Village, however, chose to develop independently, continually optimizing its roads.

Furthermore, Gao Family Village was actively seeking transformation, moving away from primitive agriculture and entering the relatively more developed field of handicrafts.

Currently, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range had largely resolved the issue of food and clothing, entering a phase of population explosion.

The number of newborns in the last decade far exceeded any period in the previous thousand years.

Moreover, with Li Boyang’s education spread widely, more and more mountain people realized that relying on the skies and the land only brought food, but not an improved quality of life.

Thus, those mountain people with a spirit of adventure decided to venture beyond via the Hundred Lands Canal.

The ones choosing to remain in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range emulated Mountain Village’s practices, actively developing their own advantageous industry.

As a leader among them, Gao Family Village has now become the headquarters of "leather processing" in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Textiles, metallurgy, ceramics, lacquerware, shipbuilding, winemaking, salt making, brick and tile, papermaking...

In this era of hundred flowers blooming and schools contending in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Only the field of "leather processing" remained largely untapped, also representing Gao Family Village’s forte.

Panhu, after participating in the South Sea battle, requested the reward from Li Boyang mapped around "how to develop leather processing" technologies.

From the simplest leather boots, to slightly more advanced talismanic leather armor, and ultimately to the innovative artificial leather technology...

Under Panhu’s lead, Gao Family Village is stepping out of its old life, embracing a better tomorrow.

"There are just too few learned people, otherwise, we could establish an Enlightenment School in our own village."

At this moment, Elderly Lady Gao, with a face aged beyond recognition, murmured with a gaze full of contentment.

As ten-plus years swiftly passed, watching her children lead their village to the life they have today.

This has been an enormous comfort for Elderly Lady Gao.

Never again will she have to worry that her children would be ostracized by the village, she can even extravagantly dream of the future.

"Yes, at the next village assembly, I’ll discuss this agenda with everyone."

Kneeling beside Elderly Lady Gao, Panhu responded softly as he did in his childhood.

However, once Panhu turned his head again, Elderly Lady Gao had already gently closed her eyes, never to answer him again.

"Mother..."

Though he had long been prepared, when this moment finally arrived, Panhu couldn’t help shedding tears.

For starting today, Panhu knew he would no longer have anyone to rely on, and no one would wait for him to come home late at night anymore.
