The sage who commanded ghosts and gods (3/3)

Call!

With the blessing of the Light Body Talisman and the Divine Movement Talisman.

Li Jingshu dragged Lu Huaijin so fast they were practically out of sight, and soon they reached the end of the blue brick road.

It was a mist that enveloped the entire Yunmeng Marsh, almost stretching as far as the eye could see.

However, as Li Jingshu and her companion ventured deeper into the fog...

The scene that unfolded within the fog was completely different from what people had imagined.

"Arrive!"

On the edge of Yunmeng Marsh, deep within the endless mist.

One after another, tall and strangely shaped Ghost God came into view.

Most of their bodies were submerged in the lake, while their figures floating on the surface were only partially visible in the mist.

Whether these Ghost God are moving floating islands or dredging lakes, whatever they are doing, the clearly visible golden God-Binding Cord around their necks clearly identifies them.

Since being recaptured by Li Boyang, these Ghost God have been tasked with maintaining the ecosystem of the entire Yunmeng Marsh.

Clogged river channels, shifting and displaced floating islands—any anomaly that could potentially affect the ecology of Yunmeng Marsh is one of the tasks of these Ghost God.

However, in the Yunmeng Marsh today, these Ghost God are not the most eye-catching.

Yunmeng Marsh is a vast marshland.

And on this vast swamp are hundreds of floating islands.

Those floating islands were not formed naturally; they were all artificial islands created by Li Boyang over the years.

The ecosystems of these islands are all different, and some are even impossible to have formed naturally.

For example, there are lava islands covered by several active volcanoes, or plant islands where plants grow abnormally and cover the entire island. It is precisely because of this that these islands need the special maintenance of Ghost God to prevent the various ecosystems on the island from collapsing due to external influences.

In particular, some extreme island ecosystems require the combined efforts of multiple Ghost God to survive.

Because once the ecology and species of those extreme islands are allowed to spread.

Not only the current Yunmeng Marsh, but perhaps the entire ecosystem of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range will collapse as a result.

The reason why Li Boyang created these islands is also quite simple.

He is currently conducting research on new species breeding and materials.

However, some special species and materials can only thrive in extreme environments.

Tardigrades, thermophilic bacteria, polar planarians, diamonds, obsidian, and various exotic metals---.

In addition to these naturally occurring species and materials, Li Boyang also conducts artificial interventions on certain islands.

This also led to the emergence of organisms and materials with properties such as superhardness, superconductivity, and inherent elemental attributes, greatly enriching Li Boyang's choices in alchemy and weapon crafting.

In fact, Li Boyang had already begun screening and promoting alchemical herbs suitable for transplantation to the outside world a long time ago.

Those common herbal plants are fine.

Through Li Boyang's continuous selection and breeding, their cultivation difficulty is no longer much higher than that of ordinary grains.

It might be an exaggeration to say that every household grows medicinal herbs.

But for today's Mountain Folk, common medicinal herbs such as ginseng, notoginseng, angelica, astragalus, wolfberry, and lingzhi no longer require the risk of going into the mountains to pick them.

Several visionary villages, after obtaining Li Boyang's consent, began to cultivate these herbs on a large scale.

Compared to the cash crops that Li Boyang has been trying to promote, there is never any worry about the sales of these herbs.

These herbs, which undergo standardized seedling cultivation, fertilization, and harvesting, may have slightly lower medicinal efficacy, but in terms of yield, they have already reached a point of "supply exceeding demand."

As a result, some clever Mountain Folk began to consider selling these herbs to places outside the Hundred Lands Mountain Range by boat.

Instead of stopping them, Li Boyang provided them with great convenience.

To be honest, it would be much better if the older generation of Mountain Folk hadn't had such a low literacy rate.

Li Boyang even considered training a group of doctors, physicians, and even Alchemist to process these herbs into elixirs and sell them.

This is different from stereotypes in the common sense.

Li Boyang's expertise in alchemy also has simplified versions, and it doesn't necessarily involve the use of Yuanran and the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

As long as you have Pill Furnace and the materials, you can refine the pills according to a fixed Pill Formula.

Even ordinary people can refine highly effective pills.

From Li Boyang's perspective, these pills are actually somewhat similar to traditional Chinese medicine, and are very suitable for popularization and promotion.

Unfortunately, this was limited by the educational level of the older generation of Mountain Folk.

Li Boyang could only entrust the emerging profession of "Alchemist" to the next generation of Mountain Folk.

Of course, the pills are not yet available to ordinary people to produce.

However, Li Boyang's "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual - Mountain Folk Edition," compiled specifically for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and their Mountain Folk, was successfully promoted.

It records some of the most common diseases encountered by the Mountain Folk, as well as targeted treatments and rescue measures.

Although these Tufang may not be able to completely cure diseases, they can certainly provide emergency care and save the lives of the Mountain Folk.

Correspondingly, there was also the "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual - Monster Edition," which was also distributed by the Human-Faced Fish.

Yes, even knowing that the Mountain Folk and spirits are illiterate.

Li Boyang ultimately decided to give away these manuals for free.

Anyway, with the opening of paper mills in the Mountain Hollow Village, paper is no longer a rare commodity in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

On the contrary, the Mountain Folk and spirits had to find a way to read and write in order to understand the manual given by Li Boyang, even if it meant forcing themselves to do so.

Especially the spirits and monsters, most of them are used to being alone.

If you can't understand those manuals yourself, there won't be any "quack doctors" to treat you when you get sick.

In a sense, this was also a helpless move by Li Boyang in order to popularize and unify the written language.

Besides the Mountain Folk, Li Boyang also had many spirit companions by his side.

The existence of companions like Xiluo, Pan Hu, Deception Rabbit, Xiao Gui, Nüman, Hanging Silk Lady, and One-Horned Incantation made Li Boyang clearly realize that this world was different from his previous life.

At least in these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the Mountain Folk and spirits are of equal status; they are all sentient beings with equal wisdom.

In this world, in this era, Li Boyang is not merely Mountain Folk or a human being, but also Innate Divine Being and Red-Haired Ghost God.

The Mountain Folk believed in themselves, but there were also spirits who believed in themselves.

Favoritism has never been Li Boyang's style.

Moreover, doing these things doesn't actually take up much of his time and energy.

Over time, it became known not only to the Mountain Folk as a "prophet".

Even the spirits and deities of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range have tacitly accepted his status as a "saint".
