Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Even if the spirit seeds don't spread in the Southern Region, they can still sell them. After all, they are currently powerless to help other continents and can't get involved.

Of course, the price won't be too low, and there might be some conditions attached.

"Then what price are you willing to pay?" The farmer elders exchanged glances and asked.

Li Zhirui returned the decision-making power to them, saying, "Why don't you ask for my permission and see if I can meet your demands?"

The main problem is that he doesn't know what conditions to offer that will satisfy them, and in doing so, he could easily expose his bottom line, allowing the other party to take advantage of him.

Especially since he is the one who needs something from others and is in a weaker position, he is more easily manipulated by the other party after he takes the initiative to make demands.

Upon hearing Li Zhirui's actions, the elders silenced them and began to discuss the matter.

"This cultivator should be from the Eastern Continent, but I don't know what methods he used to be able to evade the suppression of the Human Law Network."

"I wonder if his method is unique and difficult to replicate, or if it can be spread..."

Several elder farmers were quite worried about this matter. If the immortals found a way to circumvent the suppression of the human law, they might have to face pressure and threats from the immortals in the future.

"We'll discuss that later. Right now, we're talking about the Yuan Yu Spirit Rice Seed. What kind of conditions do you all think would be appropriate?" Seeing that the topic had gone off track, one of the elders quickly spoke up to bring it back on track.

After a moment of contemplation, someone spoke:
"This person is a cultivator with considerable cultivation and is skilled in alchemy. He must have a lot of spiritual seeds. Why not ask for more spiritual seeds? Perhaps in the future, we can use grafting, hybridization, and other methods to cultivate new spiritual creatures."

"That's a good idea!"

"That's right! With spirit seeds, we can cultivate more different spirit creatures."

The other elders, upon hearing this, all expressed their agreement.

After finalizing the terms of the transaction, he removed the restriction and said to Li Zhirui, "I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

"It's alright." He shook his head, not caring much. Judging from their expressions, they must have reached a conclusion.

"We won't take advantage of you. As a cultivator of the immortal path, you must have quite a few spiritual seeds. You can trade with us for five Earth Immortal-level spiritual seeds."

The elder said, "At the same time, there is another question that requires your answer."

"Excuse me." Li Zhirui was somewhat confused about the latter condition.

"As a cultivator of the immortal path, why are you not subject to the suppression of the human law network?"

He thought it was some serious, confidential issue, but it turned out to be just this?

However, upon further reflection, he understood the other party's concerns. The greatest advantage of humanity against other factions was that the Humanitarian Law Network could suppress their strength, and even completely ban the law!
But now, with such an anomaly suddenly appearing, he naturally has some reservations.

"You need not worry. I cannot say for sure how this method works, but I can tell you clearly that it is not universal and cannot be spread or taught."

After a pause, Li Zhirui added, "Of course, this is only the situation regarding the methods I have mastered. I don't know if other forces have figured it out."

"That's good!"

The farmers and elders visibly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the immortals hadn't figured out a way to break the suppression of the human law network, they didn't need to worry about the human law being threatened from both sides.

“In that case, let’s begin the transaction?” Li Zhirui said proactively.

"it is good."

An elder flipped his hand and took out a cloth bag, saying, "This is a seed bag jointly made by the Farmer's School and the Mohist School. It can not only hold thousands of kilograms of different seeds and store them separately, but also keep the spiritual seeds alive for a long time."

Li Zhirui's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Do you sell the seed bags?"

"Of course, if you wish, I can give you ten."

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation, but I'd like to buy more. Just sell them to me at market price."

Ten is still too few for the Li family; they need at least forty or fifty. If the price isn't too high, then of course the more the better.

"It's easy to talk about."

The farmers were all very happy, as this was another big deal.

Fifteen minutes later, all transactions were completed.

Li Zhirui obtained 200 jin of Yuanyu Lingmi seeds and 45 seed bags, and the farmers also had a very satisfactory harvest.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer." After completing the transaction, he didn't linger and immediately got up to take his leave.

The others stood up, intending to see him off, since they had made a large sum of money from the transaction they had just completed.

"Thank you all, but to avoid attracting attention, I'll leave you here," Li Zhirui said as he turned to them after stepping over the threshold.

He had been hiding his true identity, but if these elders escorted him to the gate, it would definitely attract a lot of attention, which would contradict his idea of ​​keeping a low profile.

The others naturally respected his decision and did not see him off further.

After Li Zhirui left, one of the elders asked curiously, "What do you think of this person's cultivation level?"

"At least an Earth Immortal, and possibly even a Celestial Immortal."

After all, if one's cultivation level is not high enough and one's strength is not strong enough, one would not dare to venture so deep into the territory of the Human Dao Dynasty, let alone directly expose one's identity and make a deal with them.

"I think he must be a celestial being..."

"Alright, the transaction is over. Who he is and what his identity is are no longer our concern. Let's focus on how to cultivate these five Earth Immortal-level spiritual creatures."

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately put aside all other matters. Apart from the life-or-death crisis, nothing was more important than planting!

……

the other side.

After leaving the farm headquarters, Li Zhirui immediately left Sishi City.

He always assumed the worst about others, and in his dealings with the farmers, he unwittingly revealed a great deal of his wealth.

Those elderly farmers seemed very honest and upright, but who knew what they were really like?
So, just in case, he tried his best to leave them and stay away from Sishi City and Jiangzhou.

Li Zhirui walked very fast; in the blink of an eye, he appeared at the other end of the road.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had left the city. Without the obstruction of the city's buildings, his speed increased even more, as if he had transformed into a rainbow of light, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant.

What Li Zhirui didn't know was that a group of people chased after him shortly after he left Sishi City.

"Gone? How could they disappear so quickly?! What kind of person are you?" the burly man in the lead shouted angrily.

The palm, as big as a palm leaf fan, slapped heavily on the man who was assigned to follow Li Zhirui. With just a few light slaps, the man's blood and qi surged, and his face turned an abnormal flush.

"Boss, that guy was too fast. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. And he must have discovered my presence and used the buildings to cover himself when we were in the city," the man quickly explained.

"Hmph!" The burly man snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, but said nothing more.

Because he wasn't a liar, and the strength that person displayed meant that even if they caught up with the other party, they might not be a match for them.

The reason they wanted to track Li Zhirui was because someone in the farmhouse had tipped them off.

Although the elders did not see Li Zhirui off at the gate, many people still witnessed the scene of them getting up inside to see him off.

Some of them had ulterior motives, thinking that if they could get rid of Li Zhirui, they would definitely reap great rewards, so they contacted the group of burly men.

These people were so arrogant and ignorant that they didn't realize they had escaped a disaster by not catching up with the pursuers. They even felt a little regretful about it.

……

anyway!

Li Zhirui sped along and soon left Jiangzhou.

This trip to Jiangzhou still had some regrets, namely that the focus was entirely on the farmers, and we didn't visit any doctors to see their medical skills.

South of Jiangzhou lies Guanzhou.

The so-called Guanzhou was actually the prefecture where the capital was located. Because it was surrounded by steep mountains on all sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, four major passes were built as a defense line to protect the capital, hence the name Guanzhou.

"Nature is truly a masterpiece, incredibly mysterious and wondrous!" Li Zhirui happened to see the mountains north of Guanzhou at that moment, and upon seeing them, he couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

The mountain is massive and steep, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb, but it does not completely block the road. Instead, there is a flat and wide road in front of the mountain, allowing pedestrians to enter and exit very conveniently.

On the other side of the avenue is a relatively wide river with a gentle current, and boats come and go on the river in an endless stream.

If you look into the distance, you will see another majestic mountain, which, along with another mountain, sandwiches the river and the road between them.

"Young man, is this your first time in Guanzhou?"

An old woodcutter nearby heard Li Zhirui's remark and said with a smile, "It's not just here, it's the same in the other three directions."

"Old man, are you trying to fool me? It's already extremely rare to find one such peculiar terrain, how could there be four in a row?"

"Hahahaha, why would I lie to a young man like you? If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

The old woodcutter laughed heartily and slowly drove away, dragging a cart full of firewood.

His words did indeed pique Li Zhirui's curiosity. He had originally planned to go to the capital first, but now he changed his mind.

Having made up his mind, he changed direction, no longer heading south, but instead turning east.

Soon, Li Zhirui arrived at the eastern border of Guanzhou.

And just as the old woodcutter said, if it weren't for the different shape and contours of the mountains, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

However, upon closer inspection, some differences can be observed. This place lacks the natural feel of the north and instead shows signs of human intervention.

After some investigation, I learned that the east, west, and south directions were actually created by the Great Qian Dynasty by imitating the excavation and digging in the north!
The purpose was to facilitate communication with other states and, in the event of a major invasion, to transform into an easily defensible and difficult-to-attack defensive line to protect the safety of the capital.

'Alas! I wonder how many lives were buried beneath this spectacle.' Li Zhirui sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling utterly dejected.

Although this is a mythical world, such a massive project must have involved a large number of mortals to be completed in such a short time.

He didn't bother to check on the other two locations; he just wandered aimlessly, somewhat disinterested.

Li Zhirui wasn't in a hurry to enter the capital. Training was training no matter where you were, so how different could the capital be?
Perhaps because of its proximity to the capital, Guanzhou was almost full of private schools, ranging in size and enrollment scale from those in a few nearby villages to those recruiting the best students from all over the country.

There is a reason why Confucianism became the foremost doctrine of humanity. Just by looking at how many children Confucianists taught and educated, one can see how much they valued education.

Moreover, these children's minds are most easily influenced, and how many of them will choose to join Confucianism when they grow up?
In this respect, none of the various schools of thought could compare to Confucianism!

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..."

Just then, the sound of reading aloud came from not far away and entered Li Zhirui's ears.

In fact, the negative emotions he felt after seeing the mountains to the east had long been shattered by him, and that was not the reason he didn't go directly to the bustling capital.

He began to travel around Guanzhou, wanting to understand how the people under Confucian rule differed from those in Jinzhou and Jiangzhou.

With this question in mind, Li Zhirui went to examine Guanzhou more closely and discovered that although the people of Guanzhou may not have lived as well as those in the other two prefectures, they were full of energy and spirit, which should be attributed to the influence of Confucianism and Legalism.

But soon, he was surprised to find that some families were living in dire poverty, sometimes not knowing where their next meal would come from, and their porridge was so thin that you could see your reflection in it.

But none of them complained, neither in words nor in their hearts!
It seemed like this was a perfectly normal situation.

This situation made Li Zhirui shake his head and frown. If he wasn't mistaken, the seven or eight-year-old child, who was as thin as a rake and felt dizzy, was losing his life force rapidly. Perhaps he would die in a few days!

With a thought, he gathered wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and gently integrated them into the child's body, preventing him from dying at such a young age.

When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame.

They can't even get enough to eat or keep warm, so what's the use of having a high level of ideals?

What were these Confucian monks thinking? It was utterly absurd!

Li Zhirui was quite dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. After all, he was just a passerby who was only temporarily helping out and couldn't change the whole situation.

but……

His eyes narrowed slightly, a dark glint flashing in them.

Among the various schools of thought, countless people are dissatisfied with Confucianism. He could completely use them to change the situation in Guanzhou! (End of Chapter)
