I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Bitter Water Village, in the small square of the village council.

The village council is a special system introduced from the Li Family Village, usually held once a month.

Normally, it’s used to mediate neighborly disputes and discuss the future development of the village.

However, in special circumstances, a village council can be urgently convened to deal with pressing matters.

For instance, this time, the villagers were discussing how to handle the newly born Three-eyed Infant.

"Let’s just kill him! He’s a monster!"

"Nonsense, your kid is the monster!"

"Three eyes are the symbol of a Prophet, our village has birthed a Prophet!"

"A Prophet? That’s nonsense, your so-called Prophet just laughs all the time since birth?"

"What did you say? Do you want to fight?"

...

Listening to the noisy voices from below, the village chief of Bitter Water Village rubbed his temples with a headache.

Not far from him, a woman held her baby tightly, her eyes full of fear.

In contrast, the baby was looking at the arguing crowd below with a big smile, the third eye on his forehead open wide.

Three eyes are already a symbol of the abnormal, and since the baby was born, he didn’t cry but only laughed.

Even though she firmly believed her child couldn’t be a monster.

But looking at the outraged villagers, the woman felt an unprecedented fear.

Because she knew that many of the villagers who were making a fuss were aware that "Three Eyes" is a symbol of a Prophet.

They were simply driven by jealousy, unwilling to see her family do well.

Such occurrences are not uncommon among the ignorant mountain people.

The woman just never thought it would happen to her family.

"Village Chief!"

Unable to resist, the woman glanced at the village chief, only to receive a bitter smile in response.

The reasoning the woman could understand, how could the village chief as the head of the village not understand?

Now the problem was that the woman was known for being fierce and had offended quite a number of people.

Moreover, her family was one of the wealthier ones in the village, which inevitably attracted jealousy.

Not to mention, the woman’s husband had spent a fortune to purchase a pill from a nearby Mountain God to ensure their child’s safe birth.

The villagers were envious, having witnessed all these efforts.

This time, they took advantage of the husband’s absence to target the woman, which was considered a minor matter.

What really drove the situation to an uncontrollable direction was the baby’s untimely laughter.

"Village Chief! If it really doesn’t work, just abandon the child!"

"Weren’t you saying the child is sacred? Leaving him in the wild won’t kill him, right?"

"Yeah! They say a Prophet grows up under the care of a Mountain God!"

"Correct, if a Mountain God takes a liking to him, wouldn’t that be his good fortune?"

...

Amidst the rising cries, the village chief finally couldn’t hold back and shouted in anger.

"Shut up!"

"All you idiots, shut up!"

"Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?"

"Isn’t it just jealousy that Chunwa’s family has a good son?"

"For this trivial matter, you forced me to convene this council early, are you trying to rebel!?"

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

At the entrance of the village, near the rather unkempt mountain path.

Li Jingshu, who had appeared there unnoticed, looked towards the village with a face full of frustration.

If the village chief hadn’t spoken just now, Li Jingshu would have been ready to intervene.

Li Jingshu had already witnessed numerous similar incidents recently.

Her intervention would be the worst outcome and might even trigger public outrage in the entire village.

However, a village chief as rational and wise as the one in Bitter Water Village is not common in the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

In most cases, all Li Jingshu could do was forcibly take those Three-eyed Infants and bring them back to the Li Family Village to raise herself.

"At least there’s a good ending here, isn’t there?"

The Human-faced Spider Xiaogui landed gently on Li Jingshu’s shoulder, offering consolation in a soft voice.

"A good ending? That’s not necessarily true."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu shook her head slightly.

"Even if this mother and child escape today’s calamity, what about afterward?"

"Growing up in such a malicious and jealous environment, what do you think the child will become?"

"Moreover, are the mountain people the only ones targeting these Three-eyed Infants?"

Looking at Li Jingshu in surprise, Xiaogui had already caught the deeper meaning in her words.

"You mean... spirits are also eyeing these children?"

Li Jingshu’s lips curved up slightly, and she suddenly looked into the distance, the third eye on her forehead opening.

"Not spirits, Gods."

"With Xiaodi’s precedent, do you think those Gods wouldn’t gamble and try to replicate the miracle of the ’Celestial Being’?"

The relationship between Li Boyang and Xiluo, though not known to everyone in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, was certainly enviable.

For many Gods, even if these children couldn’t reach Li Boyang’s heights, even one percent of his achievements would be enough.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Li Jingshu and Xiaogui appeared on the riverbank hundreds of meters away.

This village is called Bitter Water Village because a Water God resides in the river, making the water taste bitter.

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re the one stirring up the villagers’ resentment, right?"

Gazing at the calm river, Li Jingshu’s voice was exceptionally calm.

"You want to adopt that child?"

"To raise him into another Celestial Being?"

"But have you ever considered whether you have the capability?"

Seemingly provoked by Li Jingshu’s words, the river suddenly surged with waves.

In the next moment, a massive crocodile emerged from the water, glaring fiercely at Li Jingshu.

"Godslayer, I know you, but I’m not afraid of you!"

"The villagers don’t want to raise that child, I’m willing to take over, it’s a good thing!"

"If you insist on slandering me, I can leave here, but this Bitter Water Village probably won’t last long either!"

The giant crocodile wasn’t threatening Li Jingshu, but stating a fact.

Without the crocodile’s, the Water God’s protection, whether this Bitter Water Village can survive remains to be seen.

"No, I never intended to force you to leave here."

"I just want to propose a deal, a fair deal."

Walking calmly on the water, Li Jingshu came to the front of the giant crocodile and said.

"I can give you what you want, but you have to ensure the child grows up safely and healthily."

"I even permit you to interact with the child."

"In the future, what he learns in the Li Family Village, you can learn alongside him."

"My only requirement for you is to watch over the villagers and prevent them from harming the child."
