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

Chapter 8 Promotion
Reform is a complex and multifaceted undertaking that cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even with a general plan, many small issues still need to be addressed one by one.

Fortunately, it's June now.

It hadn't been long since the last batch of spirit grains had been harvested.

There's still a month until the next season's planting of spirit grains, which is plenty of time to make all the necessary preparations.

Actually,
Regarding Shen Changchuan's reform plan,

Most people remain skeptical about this.

This is normal.

Because many people are used to following the old ways and are unwilling to change, regardless of whether the change is good or bad, they will instinctively hate change and hate leaving their comfort zone.

Among them, some people who were used to cheating and shirking their responsibilities are even less willing to change.

However, it is obvious that

Within the entire Dawan Village, there is no such thing as democracy; as a cultivator, Shen Changchuan holds absolute power.

For everyone in Dawancun,

You must execute it whether you understand it or not.

There is absolutely no room for opposition.

and,

Shen Changchuan's reforms were not entirely without support.

At least most members of Teams 11 and 12, as well as my maternal grandfather Han Qinhu, were supportive.

For the former,

If production increases, the warriors from both teams will have the opportunity to receive a share of the spirit grain as a reward.

These celestial treasures are far more precious than gold and silver!
That's an existence that has a chance of leading oneself or one's descendants onto the path of cultivation!
For ordinary people, its preciousness is self-evident.

The latter's maternal grandfather, Han Qinhu, wholeheartedly approved of the reform plan after reading it.

If my grandson wants to make something of himself and succeeds, that would be a wonderful thing.

Even if it fails,

The reform plans that Shen Changchuan proposed are sufficient to cover all risks and will not cause too much damage.

To be honest, even though he had traveled all over the country and seen a lot in the mortal world, he was still amazed when he saw Shen Changchuan's reform plan.

That reform plan is too conservative.
That's brilliant!

In particular, the plan to continue with the previous ten-mu plan, but to conduct trials and improvements on two mu of land.

Even Han Qinhu, who considered himself well-informed, had a feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Consider defeat before victory, and act with humility and composure. My grandson, Shen Changchuan, is destined for great achievements in the future!"

Han Qinhu sighed inwardly at this.

He even took the initiative to assume the task of supervision and management, devoting most of his time and energy to assisting Shen Changchuan in his reforms.

The reform plan must be thoroughly implemented.

Time flew by amidst the bustling changes in Dawancun, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

However, while busy with the rectification of Dawancun,

Shen Changchuan did not neglect his cultivation.

Or rather, ever since escaping the vortex of the Shen family compound in Tiannan City...

He never relaxed his spiritual practice!

Because Shen Changchuan has a very clear understanding of this world.

In this feudal-era world of cultivation, a person's power comes from the strength they wield.

The stronger one's strength, the greater one's voice, and the greater one's power.

Whether it's reorganizing Dawancun or improving Linggu's production to achieve a better harvest.

The purpose of these actions
Ultimately, it all serves to enhance one's own strength!
Shen Changchuan wouldn't put the cart before the horse.

Also because of this,

Even during his busiest times, Shen Changchuan never forgot to cultivate.

And reality did not disappoint his efforts.

In just half a month,

His cultivation level has also made a breakthrough, advancing slightly to the peak of the third level of Qi Induction.

Just one step away,
Then one can reach the fourth level of Qi Induction.

Entering the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm!
"He's reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining! The fourth level of Qi Refining is just around the corner!"

Feeling the magic power within his body becoming more abundant, Shen Changchuan felt a sense of satisfaction.

"This must be related to leaving that oppressive place, the Shen family compound. Once I escaped the cage, the world opened up before me, and my state of mind improved." "Escape from the cage, and you'll return to nature; the ancients were truly right!"

"Of course, this is also closely related to the resources available for cultivation."

"With the replenishment of the essence-filled flesh and blood of that Qi Refining Level 4 demonic boar, I was able to make up for the deficiencies in my magic power increase in a short period of time and reach the peak of Qi Refining Level 3!"

Near the most central spring in Dawancun,

Shen Changchuan sat cross-legged on a boulder inside the secret chamber, in a very good mood.

At this moment, the spiritual spring water beside him flowed gently, and wisps of spiritual energy spread throughout the surrounding space.

This secret chamber is a square space, with the sides and ceiling made of huge long stone slabs weighing thousands of kilograms each, completely covering and enveloping the spiritual spring within this space.

If you go outside, you will see layers of loose soil piled up and compacted on top, almost like a man-made hill. There is only one passage, about the height of a person, for entry and exit. Inside, there is a heavy wooden door that tightly seals the entrance and exit of the passage.

The purpose of this is, of course, to seal as much of the spiritual energy that evaporates and dissipates from the spiritual spring into a small space so that people can cultivate within it.

The effects,

how to say?

Shen Changchuan felt that it was at least much better than meditating casually in the wild.

Even just the circulation of magical power here, he could feel that it would be faster.

And it was precisely because of the meat of that demon boar at the fourth level of Qi Refining...
In addition, the excellent spiritual energy environment near the spring allowed Shen Changchuan to quickly advance to the peak of the third level of Qi Induction.

To know,
He had only advanced to the late stage of the third level of Qi Refining two months ago.

In just two months, they have improved by a small level.

The speed of cultivation is evident.

"Indeed, leaving that whirlpool of the Shen family compound was the right decision I could never have made!"

Recalling his two and a half years of experience in the Shen family compound, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh again.

Compared to the time in the Shen family compound, where I was cautious and dared not offend anyone, dared not work hard to cultivate, and whose only benefit every ten days was a bowl of spirit rice porridge, and who was only allowed to taste a few bites of demon beast meat during important festivals such as the New Year.

Life in this remote village of Dawan couldn't be more enjoyable!
at least,

He is completely free now!

Moreover, the gains over these days are not limited to this.

Shen Changchuan stared into the void, and a screen of light appeared before his eyes:
Name: Shen Changchuan
Realm: Peak of Qi Induction Level 3

Exercise: Elephant Mountain Qi Absorption Technique
Ritual implements:

Two gold needles (quasi-low-level magical artifacts)

Spells:

Golden Needle Strike: 100% (Characteristics: Slightly increases the accuracy of hidden weapons, negligible experience in practicing metal-elemental spells)

Lightness Skill: 100% (Perfect Trait: Slight speed increase, negligible experience gained from agility training)
Wind Blade Technique: 52%

Fireball: 43%

Vines: 13%

Spiritual Eye Technique: 2%

Yes,

His lightness skill was also perfected.

Thanks to the abundant replenishment of his vital energy from the wild boar demon meat, Shen Changchuan was able to squeeze out time from his busy schedule over the past two weeks.

He successfully mastered the art of lightness of body.
At the same time, he learned the basics of spiritual eye cultivation that Shen Shiying had left him.

There's not much to say about the Spirit Eye Technique; when activated, it only allows you to see some faint spiritual energy, spiritual light, or traces of demonic energy.

It is merely a supplementary spell.

The important thing is the already perfected lightness technique.

Similar to the Golden Needle Piercing, when the Lightness Technique training progress reaches 100%, two lines of characteristics also appear behind it.

Shen Changchuan didn't quite understand the role of the "negligible experience in body movement training" mentioned later.

However, Shen Changchuan did sense the "slight increase in speed" mentioned earlier.

After he used the Lightness Technique, which had reached 100% completion,

He, who could originally leap four or five zhang, can now leap eight or nine zhang.

After using the Lightness skill, the increased agility is at least one-third stronger than before!

This also resulted in a certain increase in the speed of the attack!

This undoubtedly further enhanced Shen Changchuan's overall strength!

Shen Changchuan nowadays,
He even sensed that if that giant demonic boar at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining appeared before him again,

He was confident that he could kill him by using hit-and-run tactics!
