Roads Open, and So Does the Great Way!

"The villagers' lives are getting better and better."

Returning to the village once again, Tang San was filled with emotion as he looked at the houses, which were completely different from those in Holy Soul Village three years ago.

Three years ago.

Although Holy Soul Village is not considered poor, it is only slightly better than other villages. The houses are low, and the villagers mostly wear coarse linen clothes that are patched and mended, and they are reluctant to throw them away.

Three years later.

Although the houses are mostly low, the original thatched roofs have been replaced with fish-scale tiles, and the mud walls have been renovated.

Although the villagers were still wearing coarse linen clothes, they were much cleaner than usual.

And the rice in the fields—

It has also been redesigned.

Thanks to Tang San's research and efforts, every household started planting the new Hybrid Rice Seeds.

The rice stalks are still green overall, but the veins of the leaves are light blue, and the yield per mu can reach between 500 and 800 jin.

To be honest, Zhou Qing himself didn't expect that when Tang San started to Improved Grain Seeds based on the Blue Silver Grass's talent: Listening to Nature's Voice, he would reap such great rewards.

However, it was precisely the emergence of the new Blue Silver Rice that allowed the villagers to have enough to eat, enabling Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages to develop so rapidly in just three years.

After paying their grain taxes to the cities under their jurisdiction, the villagers in this area were still able to eat three meals a day. They could also sell their surplus grain to surrounding cities or directly to Ariel, who brought fresh seafood, which she would then resell to nearby coastal cities and villages.

The road is open!

The Great Way will lead to the same destination!

For some reason, Tang San discovered that personal cultivation and building a force from scratch are actually the same thing.

The purpose of cultivation is not to enhance Soul Power, but to use Soul Power to make the human body's Aura Field smooth and harmonious, thereby continuously promoting the evolution of Life!

The purpose of establishing power, or even a nation, is essentially to enable it to continuously move forward and develop. However, for the Aura Field of a nation to flow smoothly, it is necessary to modify and imitate the natural world to construct a corresponding pathway for its circulation.

Those sects built on mountains may have been there to train their disciples' skills, but Tang San now felt that those sects in his previous life had truly picked up sesame seeds while losing watermelons.

Staying on the mountain, overlooking all the other mountains, can cultivate the mind and spirit of disciples, but it can also foster their arrogance, causing them to unconsciously forget that they are just like ordinary people, that they are also human beings who need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, only that their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are more abundant than those of ordinary people, but in essence, they are no different.

Tang San, realizing this, was very grateful to Zhou Qing, just as he once said: meeting Zhou Qing was his greatest fortune.

What would have happened to him if he hadn't met Zhou Qing?

With the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San believed he could become a master, but he certainly wouldn't be starting from scratch like he is now! Moreover, his mindset would be completely different from his current state.

Tang San even seriously suspected that if he had met another version of himself, the one who hadn't met Zhou Qing, they would definitely have been on different paths and couldn't work together.

"Yes! Holy Soul Village is getting better and better!"

Zhou Qing's sigh came from the bottom of his heart, and he raised his fist towards Tang San, "Therefore, in order to offer this wonderful gift to all the people of the continent, we must work even harder."

"That's exactly right!"

Tang San also raised his fist and bumped it with Zhou Qing's.

"Alright, you two, don't get too touched. I'm starving." Nine-year-old Xiao Wu was already quite graceful, but she still loved pink. She wore a pink short dress, had a pair of long pink ears on her head, and even her hair was pink.

That's right!

Those rabbits actually grew out! They weren't rabbit hair accessories!

Ever since Xiao Wu reached the Soul Elder, condensed her Third Spirit Ring, and obtained a Soul Skill named Meditation, which can concentrate Spiritual Power and improve reaction ability, a pair of rabbit ears have appeared on her head. They are not Martial Soul Possession, but real flesh and blood ears that can drip blood when pricked with a needle.

This phenomenon is quite easy to explain to outsiders, since there are already rare human beings like Catwoman and Dragon Girl on the mainland whose bodies have undergone mutations.

Now it's just that there's one more bunny girl.

Besides, these rabbits are on Xiao Wu's head, and they can be worn as hair accessories, so others can hardly notice them.

Regarding the unforeseen events...

Zhou Qing speculated that this was very likely related to the fact that the bloodline of the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit was gradually returning to Xiao Wu's body through the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement.

This bloodline power made Xiao Wu's transformed body no longer a simple human, but rather a body possessing the bloodline of the Soft Bone Rabbit, or a body influenced by the Bloodline Power, to the point that her physical strength was approaching that of Soul Beast like the Soft Bone Rabbit.

"You still love to ruin the mood." Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Wu speechlessly, then said to Romantina, who was chuckling to herself, "And you, you're fifteen now, it's time to be more mature."

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal." Xiao Wu recited a rhyme that Zhou Qing used to say.

"I'm clearly very mature, okay?"

Romantina puffed out her chest and beamed with joy. The bouncy texture of her breasts made Zhou Qing's eyes twitch. "For the first time, I feel that being big also has its downsides."

"That's right, being like me is the best." Xiao Wu chuckled.

But Zhou Qing glanced at the chest that was slightly larger than a washboard, indicating that he wanted to take back what he had just said.

"Asshole!"

Xiao Wu's smile froze instantly. She glared fiercely at Zhou Qing and said to Tang San, "Tang San, you need to keep a close eye on your good brother. He's almost become a hooligan, always commenting on girls' breasts."

Tang San: "..."

Please don't drag him into this!

Thanks!

The four of them talked and laughed, but they all entered Holy Soul Village in high spirits.

However, when Hope Primary School officially opened, Zhou Qing first found Old Jack and contacted the village chiefs of other villages, hoping to lead some of the more mature children to Heaven Dou City later.

What are we going to Heaven Dou City for?

Old Jack was a little confused.

"Isn't the Continental Elite Tournament, which is held every five years, about to begin? The dean of the Nuoding Academy and Teacher Mo Hen have both reached the Soul Elder realm in the past three years. Sister Bu Yi's three younger sisters, Bu Er, Bu San, Bu Si, have also broken through to the Soul Elder. Therefore, the academy applied to the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire half a year ago and has now become an intermediate academy."

Although Nuoding Academy has become an intermediate academy, it has not relinquished its status as a primary academy, and children with Innate Soul Power can still study there.

But that wasn't Zhou Qing's main point.

"After becoming an intermediate academy student, you will be qualified to challenge an Advanced Academy in Heaven Dou City. As long as you defeat your opponent, you will be able to obtain a spot to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament."

Zhou Qing paused here to let Old Jack understand the logic behind it before continuing, "Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and I have formed a team to challenge and qualify for the competition."

Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to broaden the horizons of the village children. If the parents agree, they can also come along to see what a real big city is like, so as to prepare for the future development of our Holy Soul Village.
