I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 138 - 7: Yin Yang Fish (1/3)

Smoothing the Earth's threads is not actually a difficult task.

Especially for Li Boyang, who can draw upon the power of Xiluo, smoothing the Earth's threads does not even qualify as a skill.

The real challenge of this task lies in the remote location of Mountain Village, where there are no obvious water vein tributaries nearby.

Thus, when Li Boyang works on smoothing the Earth's threads in this area,

he often needs to spend more time and effort making detailed adjustments, rather than allowing it to form a natural cycle.

Of course, Li Boyang does not deny he has a personal motive.

Since he has already chosen Mountain Village as the future site for his paper-making base, he naturally hopes the environment will be more suitable for bamboo cultivation and building factories.

From temperature to rainfall, from sunlight to soil, and from mountain formation to topography...

Li Boyang wants to make the bamboo grow faster and better.

It is necessary to keep the area's moisture and humidity at a constant level.

This is something that would require various advanced instruments to achieve on Earth.

However, in this world, Li Boyang just needs to gently throw the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor to create the optimal environment.

Honestly speaking, despite repeatedly overestimating the productivity improvements brought by Divine Techniques and spells,

Li Boyang never dreamed he could one day build an artificial "nature reserve."

Yes, by continuously controlling the Earth's threads and Cloud Rain,

Li Boyang is fully capable of shaping Mountain Village into a "nature reserve," creating a special ecosystem distinct from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

In comparison, merely making the soil, climate, and moisture of Mountain Village suitable for bamboo growth is a trivial change.

If Li Boyang had the need, he could even borrow the power of Spring God·Nvman to accelerate the maturity of crops in the area on a large scale. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

In fact, this is one of the main reasons why Li Boyang dares to make such a promise.

As for why Li Boyang doesn't just do this directly?

The reason is actually quite simple.

On one hand, Li Boyang does not like the irreplaceable nature of core technology mastered by only himself or a very few others.

Just like the brick kilns of Li Family Village and the possible future steel workshops.

Even if Li Boyang could use the power of Evil Qi and the Prison Soul Tripod to manufacture better bricks and steel, it is still his personal ability.

On the other hand, although Li Boyang doesn't care about the fickleness of human nature, he is well aware of its weaknesses.

If he continues to bestow blessings like a god without nurturing a spirit of self-improvement among the mountain people,

once he leaves, the mountain people of the Hundred Lands will revert to their previous difficult lives.

A thousand years ago, the Huai River Witch demonstrated this through her own experience, and Li Boyang naturally would not repeat the past.

Lastly, and most importantly, forcing crops to mature comes with a price.

According to the most basic law of conservation of quality,

Forcing growth and depleting resources will only lead to accelerated land degradation until nothing can grow anymore.

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

When Li Boyang descended from the altar again, the sun was already setting in the west.

The villagers of Mountain Village had already returned to the village and started preparing dinner skillfully.

As the cooking smoke wafted from each household, Uncle Lu's daughter, with her big belly, brought a simple food box near the altar.

"Destiny, this is your dinner."

After confirming that Li Boyang had completed the ceremony, Uncle Lu's daughter immediately approached.

As for the title "Destiny"?

It naturally comes from the human-faced fish, led by the Red Fish.

In fact, unbeknownst to Li Boyang himself, "Destiny" was becoming a term of respect for him in Mountain Village.

"Sister Lu, I can take it myself. What's most important for you now is to nurture your pregnancy."

Seeing this, Li Boyang hurriedly took the food box from her hands and earnestly advised.

Sister Lu's full name is Lu Suiniang, meaning she was born in a year of harvest.

In the perpetually food-short Hundred Lands Mountain People, her name is considered very auspicious.

In Li Boyang's eyes, although Lu Suiniang is ten months pregnant, she is essentially just a slightly older big girl.

So calling her "sister" is not excessive.

"Thanks to the Protective Talisman you lent me, this child will surely be fine."

Smiling as she touched the tortoiseshell amulet around her neck, Lu Suiniang's tone was filled with confidence in Li Boyang.

That tortoiseshell is none other than Li Boyang's first crafted magical treasure—the Yin Yang Amulet.

Although it's called "tortoiseshell," it actually more resembles the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish from Li Boyang's previous life.

The difference is that this Yin Yang Fish only has the white fish symbolizing the "Yang side" circulating, while the black fish symbolizing the "Yin side" remains dormant.

Nonetheless, with this Talisman for balancing Yin and Yang, Lu Suiniang's physical condition was visibly improving.

Her unborn child was also being affected, developing steadily and naturally.

"Sister Lu, your unborn child is destined to be extraordinary."

"This Talisman may temporarily balance her inner good and evil, but it cannot fundamentally solve the influence of evil thoughts and past life memories."

"For the safety of you and your daughter, if she shows signs of birth at any time, you must inform me immediately."

His gaze swept over the Yin Yang Amulet, and for the umpteenth time, Li Boyang reminded earnestly.

Li Boyang had never concealed the truth about the unborn child from Lu Suiniang, so she naturally understood the importance and urgency.

"I understand, I will definitely inform you immediately..."

Before Lu Suiniang finished speaking, Uncle Lu, standing nearby, solemnly assured.

"During this time, I'll diligently keep an eye on this girl..."

"Whether it's the Talisman or the unborn child, I'll keep them closely monitored to prevent any mishaps."

Seeing her father's solemn expression,

Lu Suiniang finally showed a playful side that matched her age and slyly stuck her tongue out at Li Boyang.

"That's good. You don't have to worry too much about the Talisman. Even if it's lost, I can retrieve it."

"The important thing is that if it is lost, the child might be born prematurely, and that's the main issue."

Li Boyang also gave Lu Suiniang a concealed smile.

Then he slowly opened the simple food box and began to eat the dinner she had prepared for him with care.

The dinner's ingredients weren't very rich, and there was hardly any sign of oil.

But it was the most sumptuous dinner that Lu Suiniang and, indeed, the entire village could provide.

This sincerity, this friendship, is what Li Boyang valued the most.

"Eat slowly, no need to rush. I even put a piece of meat on top for you today!"

Seeing Li Boyang eating with such appetite, Lu Suiniang's eyes were filled with more joy.

Unconsciously, beyond simple admiration, Lu Suiniang developed more fondness for Li Boyang.

This legendary "Son of the Mountain God" seemed no longer so remote and unattainable like a clay idol but a real flesh-and-blood human being.
