This Could Never Be Achieved by Force!
Upon learning that the village chiefs from other villages also had the idea of learning, Zhou Qing looked at these village chiefs, whose faces were different but who all shared the same nervousness and trepidation, smiled, stepped forward, welcomed them into the house, made them tea, and said:
"If people from your village want to come and learn, I would be very happy to welcome them. After all, Holy Soul Village cannot be a monopoly; we need to unite with you to develop together."
The village chiefs, including Old Jack, didn't quite understand Zhou Qing's words, but they also understood that he had agreed.
Old Jack was delighted. He gave Zhou Qing a look before saying loudly, "Well then, Qing, name your price. I know you and Tang San are studying at the Nuoding Academy, which is expensive, but they are also my old friends, so give me a discount."
So that's what they were planning!
Zhou Qing was both amused and exasperated, but he was also touched by Old Jack's care for him and Tang San. However, he really couldn't accept the tuition fee. "Ahem, fellow village chiefs, tuition is not required. All you need to do is bring some food for cooking and cured meat, just like the residents of Holy Soul Village, so that we can cook and eat together."
Old Jack was dumbfounded, wondering if Zhou Qing hadn't understood his look just now. But now that Zhou Qing had already said it, how could he take it back?
This really got Old Jack very anxious.
"Well, I think we should still pay some tuition fees."
Most of the twenty-odd village chiefs were stunned by this windfall, but some felt it was inappropriate.
Free--
This is a huge favor I'll owe!
Oh no! Oh no!
"In that case, there is one thing I hope you can do to help out when the time comes."
Seeing that these old village chiefs were all shrewd people, Zhou Qing put forward his conditions, "After the New Year, Tang San and I will survey the terrain of Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages to plan roads to facilitate travel between villages. What do you think?"
To get rich, build roads first.
Although Holy Soul Village is connected to the surrounding villages by roads, these roads are mostly made of yellow mud and black soil, and are uneven, rugged, and narrow. They are even very muddy on rainy days, making it difficult to walk.
Therefore, Zhou Qing had planned to find an opportunity to talk to the village chiefs of other villages about road construction later.
Since they've come here on their own today, it's a good opportunity to talk.
"With the road repaired, it will be easier for relatives between villages to travel back and forth, and it will also be easier to buy and sell among them. Moreover, Tang San and I plan to find a place nearby to set up a real school so that everyone can read, learn to read, and be taught all kinds of useful life knowledge and skills."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Every year during the winter and summer vacations, we will come back from the Soul Master Academy to carry out related teaching activities. At that time, everyone just needs to bring food and drinks."
"Of course, teaching isn't always completely free. I might have to pay after I graduate from junior college, since intermediate college costs even more."
The village chiefs laughed, finding Zhou Qing quite humorous and witty, and also knowing their hardships, they were very grateful that he didn't take their money.
After the village chiefs left, Old Jack asked worriedly, "Is the tuition really okay?"
"No problem."
Zhou Qing smiled.
Compared to the meager tuition fees, he hoped to win people's hearts.
Everything we are doing now is mainly laying the foundation and establishing the initial shape of a base.
"That's good."
Seeing Zhou Qing's confidence, Old Jack said no more and asked about his cultivation progress, "What level has your Soul Power reached?"
"Level 22."
Over the course of the month, Zhou Qing's Soul Power Level improved again, increasing by one level.
"You're already Soul Grandmaster?" Old Jack was a little taken aback. He picked at his ear and checked again and again. After learning that Zhou Qing was indeed level 22, he began to doubt his life.
It should be noted that Su Yuntao, the Battle Soul Master who came to help the children in the village awaken their Martial Soul, was only a Soul Grandmaster.
But Zhou Qing's cultivation level has increased by more than ten levels in the past six months, reaching the level of Soul Grandmaster. Isn't that a bit too shocking?
Could this be the Innate Full Soul Power?
"Grandpa Jack, there's no need to be so surprised. Perhaps in the future, no one will be able to cultivate Soul Power slower than me."
In the future, when he changes the world's system, the basic theories of Soul Power cultivation, such as the knowledge of human meridians and acupoints, will surely be spread so that all the people on the continent can embark on the path of cultivation, instead of knowing what it is but not why it is, as they do now.
"Haha, as expected of a genius from Holy Soul Village!"
Old Jack laughed, but he didn't believe that everyone could cultivate as fast as Zhou Qing in the future. He didn't even think that everyone could cultivate, since to cultivate, Martial Soul must have Innate Soul Power. Commoners like them could only watch their Martial Soul Mutation.
Zhou Qing noticed this, but didn't explain it further to Old Jack.
It will take time to prove this.
In the days that followed, some young adults and children from other villages also came to Holy Soul Village after another to study with the villagers until the market day began.
The market was located in Holy Soul Village, after all, it was the most prosperous and populous village in the surrounding area. In other words, the residents of Holy Soul Village were the buyers of various agricultural products from other villages.
On this day, Zhou Qing also had a day off, which was unprecedented for her, and didn't attend classes.
Or rather, the time he gave the villagers for teaching was based on a schedule of ten days of classes followed by one day of rest, and they usually had holidays.
Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu strolled around the market, each buying a lot of agricultural products that were not available in Holy Soul Village. When they arrived at the stalls set up by the villagers of Holy Soul Village, the villagers would enthusiastically stuff the best fruits, vegetables, nuts, or newly made chairs, brooms, and other items that had already been packaged into Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's hands and arms.
The villagers refused the money offered to them.
After all, the villagers learned to read, understand, and sing folk songs, and they also realized how the nobles had kept them in the dark. More importantly, the practical benefits of the Broadcast Gymnastics were very obvious, making their bodies much stronger than before.
Therefore, they also sincerely thanked Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.
This kind of heartfelt affection cannot be achieved through force!
Tang San looked at the large and small bags hanging on his arm, and saw that Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu were in similar situations to him, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
[Qing Ge!]
You absolutely can change the world!
Zhou Qing, however, didn't want to accept too many gifts from the villagers, so he called to Tang San and Xiao Wu and went to a nearby hillside, finally escaping the villagers' enthusiasm...
