My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 40 Meeting Again
Upon hearing this, Han Qinhu calmed down.

However, his reaction to Shen Changchuan
I was somewhat surprised.

When Shen Changchuan refused just now,
He thought Shen Changchuan would insist on his own way, even knowing he was wrong.

Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, they insisted on compensating the families of every person who died on duty with ten catties of spirit grain.

After all, youth is full of vigor and ambition.
Few young people realize they are wrong.

Or rather, even if they know they're wrong, they'll grit their teeth and keep going, refusing to turn back until they hit a wall, and it's not so easy for them to change course.

Or perhaps they feel mocked, which enrages them, and they vent their anger on others.

It is precisely because of this,
During the ambush of the crocodile demon, Han Qinhu noticed something amiss with the death toll, but due to various concerns, he did not speak up to warn others in time.

It wasn't until the ambush on the Gale Falcon that the people below went too far, causing a significant increase in the resettlement fee and resulting in huge losses, that Han Qinhu had no choice but to reveal the problem to Shen Changchuan.

This outcome was completely unexpected.

None of the expected reactions occurred.

Shen Changchuan neither let his expression deter him from continuing down the wrong path.
He didn't get angry because his subordinates were trying to fool him.

His expression remained calm throughout.

It was clear that he had seriously reflected on it for a moment.

And they truly learned a lesson from this experience.

"With such a temperament, my grandson Changchuan truly has the potential to become an immortal!"

On Han Qinhu's somewhat aged face, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of gratified smile.

Thinking back to when I first took office here six months ago,
The other party proceeded with the reforms in Dawancun step by step, steadily and without arrogance or impatience.
When faced with attacks from monsters, they remained calm and composed, planning their actions carefully before acting, and ultimately succeeded in slaying the attacking monsters.

These things,
They all walked very steadily.
With such a mindset, how could one not succeed in the future?
His Han family,
It was a gamble that paid off!
"Alright, I'll go over and announce this to them right away."

Han Qinhu collected his thoughts, bid farewell to Shen Changchuan, and left.

Nothing happened all night.

the next day,
The harvest of spirit grains in Zhao Family Village has also begun.

Everything is going very smoothly.

The spirit grains from those two acres of spirit fields were all harvested intact.

This might be because there are relatively few spiritual fields there, so the harvesting process did not attract any other demonic beasts to attack.

but,

Because the third of the Four Fiends of Heshan massacred Zhao Family Village and set fires everywhere, some of the spiritual grains in the spiritual fields were damaged.

Therefore, the final harvest of the spirit grain was only 178 jin.

But this number was not unexpected for Shen Changchuan.

Those two acres of sacred land were damaged.
He knew this perfectly well.

He had estimated that the two acres of spiritual fields in Zhao Family Village would definitely yield less when it was time to harvest.

I was already mentally prepared.

"It doesn't matter. When spring plowing comes next year, we can promote the improved planting methods here to the other side, and we will naturally be able to get a better harvest."

The news of the harvest from Zhao Family Village also made Shen Changchuan feel a little better.

He already had a plan in mind for the spring planting of the two acres of spiritual fields in Zhao Family Village next year.

And at this time,
Within Dawan Village,

Han Qinhu also announced the news that he had discussed with Shen Changchuan the previous night about lowering the compensation standards for those who died in the line of duty.

The standard was lowered tenfold at once.

This magnitude is simply outrageous!
However, this did not generate much of a response among the villagers.

The villagers reacted differently to this.

Some people looked at the families of the deceased with a meaningful gaze.
Some people turned pale, seemingly lost in thought.

Some even showed extreme regret, as if they had missed out on a great opportunity.

But regardless of the reaction
Deep down, everyone knows this very well.

The compensation and resettlement allowance of ten catties of spiritual grain is actually too generous.

It simply cannot last.

Therefore, regarding the decision Shen Changchuan conveyed by Han Qinhu...

They were already prepared.

The others didn't find this harsh at all; on the contrary, they thought Shen Changchuan, the newly arrived immortal master, was very kind and generous. Because although the compensation was reduced,
But those who sacrificed themselves before this were mostly the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who deliberately died to receive compensation and resettlement funds, yet the immortal master not only did not investigate,

Instead, they all accepted it.

They provided ample compensation, equivalent to ten catties of spirit grain.

This approach is already quite satisfactory.

If it were any other, more stingy immortal master, they probably wouldn't give a single penny. In fact, because they were fooled by mortals, they might have made an example of them by slaughtering the families and relatives of those who willingly offered up the settlement fee to the area, as a form of punishment!

This is not an exaggeration.
In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are nothing more than slaves who can be crushed at will.

Shen Changchuan is so kind.
The entire village of Dawan naturally wouldn't and wouldn't dare to be greedy and take advantage of others.

However, they didn't have much interest in paying attention to these things anymore.

As the entire harvest of the Spirit Valley was brought into storage...

Shen Changchuan also had Han Qinhu begin distributing the rewards he had initially promised.

Compared to the adjustment of pensions,
It has attracted widespread attention!
First, there are teams eleven and twelve.

The increased yields were 36 jin and 48 jin respectively.

As originally agreed, 30% of each of these two quantities will be distributed as rewards to the members of these two teams.

Then came teams one through ten.
As a reward for each of the ten mu of spirit fields they manage, the average yield increase is 10 jin.

Each team will be rewarded with 30% of the increased production, which is three jin per team.

However, three catties of spirit grain is far too insignificant when divided among nearly two hundred people.

So they did as Shen Changchuan had initially agreed.

Mix the spirit rice into the refined rice, and then cook a large pot of spirit rice porridge.
It was served in the form of a large banquet, with each person receiving a bowl.

However, it is obvious that

Nobody cares about banquets or anything like that.
After receiving their share of the spirit rice porridge, they quickly returned to their homes, either to eat it themselves or to leave it for their children, giving them a greater chance to awaken and successfully embark on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, after the spirit rice porridge was distributed,

The entire village of Dawan was almost completely emptied.

Everyone stayed at home and focused on their cultivation.

Strive for that sliver of possibility of embarking on the path of cultivation.

Dawancun then became somewhat quiet.

For this,

Shen Changchuan did not interfere.

At this time, he was lacking cultivator subordinates.
If anyone can successfully draw in Qi, it will be a good thing, because with a bit more power, Shen Changchuan won't have to worry about the defenses of Zhao Family Village.

However, as someone who had been through it all, he knew very well that it was practically impossible to successfully awaken one's spiritual energy with just one or two bowls of spirit rice porridge.

However, if successful

He didn't lose out either.

Shen Changchuan didn't pay much attention to this either.

With an abundant supply of spiritual rice resources,

He then turned his attention to the two incomplete spells on the panel.

One of the two unfinished spells was the Water Dragon Spell.

The other is Aoki Kenshin.

among them,

He had been practicing the incomplete version of the Aoki Sword Light spell for a long time, but he was stuck at 1% progress and couldn't make any progress.

This troubled Shen Changchuan, who wanted to find a solution.

However, before Shen Changchuan could find a solution...
He then had no choice but to leave the pass.

because,

The Shen family's transport commissioner sent people to collect the spirit grain that was to be handed over.

To Shen Changchuan's surprise,
He recognized the man sent by the transport commissioner of the Shen family.

It was Shen Shiying, the town garrison commander who had left Dawancun not long ago!
