After learning how Xiaolan found him, Tang San was both amused and exasperated. He never expected that the Blue Silver Grass created by his Second Soul Skill could actually be sensed by other Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul owners.

That's right!

It's not just Xiaolan!

Xiaolan's Mother, whose Martial Soul was also Blue Silver Grass, also sensed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass created with his Soul Skill, as if it were the king of all Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Zhou Qing was also a little surprised when she learned about this, but she quickly figured out the key point.

After all, the essence of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, and his Second Soul Skill, Spirit of Blue Silver, is essentially a copy of the Martial Soul planted in reality—

Because it is not a true Blue Silver Grass plant, it cannot yet rule over all Blue Silver Grass in the world; it can only enhance Tang San's perception of Blue Silver Grass and other plants.

But who would have thought that this replicated Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would attract other Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul owners?

This can be considered an unexpected phenomenon.

However, at Zhou Qing's suggestion, Tang San took Xiaolan as his student to study "New Rice" together. In fact, in most cases, Xiaolan had to explain the key points of rice cultivation to Tang San.

After all, after Xiaolan Martial Soul Awakening and had no Innate Soul Power, she went to work in the fields with her family. Her parents would tell her about their experience in planting rice from time to time, and if they had the chance, they would even teach her step by step so that she could learn as soon as possible.

Therefore, in this respect, Tang San is more like Xiaolan's student, diligently absorbing her knowledge.

"Knowledge may be acquired in a certain order, and skills have their own specializations... Han Yu was truly right!"

Tang San recalled what he had learned when he was a student at the Tang Sect in his previous life, and was filled with emotion. However, he also felt ironic when he thought about how the Tang Sect was strictly hierarchical and how outer disciples had no way to advance.

[The profound principles that the Tang Sect taught its disciples in my past life were not practiced by the Tang Sect itself, no wonder it declined... However, the Tang Sect I will establish in the future will not only flourish but also surpass its former glory, existing for eternity!]

At this point, Tang San's resolve became even stronger.

And what about Xiao Wu?

She ate the food provided by the villagers, so naturally she had to teach them, and what she taught was fighting.

The sights of Xiao Wu being groped, having her nose picked, her eyes gouged out, and being choked were eye-opening for the villagers, who even began to doubt whether she was actually from the city.

Otherwise, how could they be more familiar with these low-down tricks than the other way around?

Moreover, the move of grabbing someone's crotch can be divided into hand grabbing and foot grabbing. The hand grabbing alone has moves such as stretching, pulling, grabbing, pinching, and grabbing.

It's truly refreshing!

However, the villagers also warned their children never to do such a thing to other villagers, otherwise it would cause problems and strain relationships with neighbors.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The residents of Holy Soul Village are not much different in terms of physique and appearance as before, but their mental outlook is completely different from that of a month ago.

Confidence!

High spirits!

After learning about the benefits of Broadcast Gymnastics, the villagers spontaneously gathered together every day to do it two or three times, all full of energy.

As for literacy, children learn faster and have already learned the commonly used characters in the Douluo Continent. Adults learn a little slower, but even those who are seventy or eighty years old have learned seventy or eighty characters.

In fact, Zhou Qing had considered simplifying the pictographic characters on the Douluo Continent, but ultimately abandoned the plan.

It's too early.

If we're really going to put this into practice, we'll have to wait until we actually have our own territory...

This day.

The village chiefs from other villages came to Holy Soul Village to discuss the market with Old Jack. It turned out that more than twenty villages in the area were planning to hold a market before the New Year, taking advantage of the approaching end of the year to have a big market and let everyone have some fun together.

At that time, vendors from each village will set up stalls at the agreed locations, with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. People from each village can buy or barter for mature crops that they do not have in their original villages, or other farm tools and implements.

The reason they took the initiative to find Old Jack was because, among the villages in this area, only Holy Soul Village had ever produced a Soul Saint, and this year two more children had qualified to become Soul Master, and some even Innate Full Soul Power.

Back then, Old Jack led his men to other villages to ask for quotas... Although they didn't get any quotas, the news that two children with Innate Full Soul Power who could cultivate had appeared in Holy Soul Village spread throughout the nearby villages.

They naturally had to come over and chat with Old Jack in person.

Old Jack, flattered, was beaming with pride. He even went so far as to recount how Zhou Qing and Tang San taught the villagers to read, write, and exercise after they returned to the village.

This made the village chiefs of other villages extremely envious!

Three or five village chiefs, all over eighty years old, remarked with admiration that the children from Holy Soul Village were successful and cared about the villagers.

Over the years, their village has produced several children with Innate Soul Power, but after attending school in Nuoding City and returning home for holidays, no matter how lively they were when they went out, they mostly became taciturn upon their return...

Forget about teaching the villagers; some have even given up on going to college altogether and gone home to farm...

Needless to say, they knew that they must have been bullied by the children of city families and nobles, and even beaten up.

But they couldn't help.

Those children who successfully graduated, obtained their Soul Ring, and became Soul Master never returned to the village. Even their current Soul Power level, their fate, and whether they are alive or dead remain unknown...

Holy Soul Village is great!

Two hundred years ago, this place was called Rice Village. Because a Soul Master with cultivation talent came out, and after that Soul Master became Soul Saint, he even came back once, which made Rice Village truly change its name to Holy Soul Village. As a result, the grain tax that the whole village had to pay to Nuoding City every year was reduced by a portion.

Two hundred years later, two more children with Innate Full Soul Power have appeared in Holy Soul Village. They may become Titled Douluo in the future!

Moreover, these two children are even more promising; they know how to share the knowledge they gained at the academy with the villagers.

These twenty-odd village chiefs could already foresee the future when Holy Soul Village would be renamed "Douluo Village," become more prosperous, and even have all taxes waived.

The fact that they didn't have to pay taxes was something these village chiefs longed for—if they didn't have to pay such a heavy grain tax, the people in their villages could eat three meals a day, and they would even have a lot of grain left over to sell in the city.

Unfortunately, no Soul Saint has ever emerged from their village, or perhaps they have, but have forgotten that they were born in a small village and have not returned to report. As a result, Nuoding City naturally does not give them any preferential treatment. After paying the grain tax, they leave behind only enough grain seeds to feed themselves for two meals a day.

"Old Jack, the people in our village aren't busy in the fields at this time of year, so can they come here to listen to your lectures?"

The village chief approached Old Jack, hoping to broaden the villagers' horizons as well.

Once the first person started, a second person spoke up, a third person pleaded, and a fourth person simply took out Silver Soul Coin.

"I need to discuss this with Xiaoqing and Tang San first."

Old Jack didn't want people from other villages to benefit from Zhou Qing and Tang San, but considering the high expenses Zhou Qing and Tang San would incur while studying at the academy, he needed to increase their income—if they didn't charge tuition to villagers, then charging tuition to people from other villages shouldn't be a problem, right?
