Lu Changzhi: "Hand it over"

The next few days.

Lu Changzhi's residence quickly became another lively place in the village.

During the day, large groups of children would excitedly run to Lu Changzhi, eager to hear Lu Changzhi talk about things outside.

These children showed an extremely strong curiosity about the outside world.

Whenever a particularly exciting part was mentioned, a chorus of "Wow!"s would erupt from Lu Changzhi's room.

At first, the adults in the village tried to stop them.

Seeing that Lu Changzhi indicated there was no need to stop them, they gradually stopped trying to stop him.

Lu Changzhi's attitude towards the children was also evident to everyone.

For a moment, everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

These two practitioners were not as terrifying as the rumors suggested; on the contrary, they were quite approachable and made people feel at ease.

Under these circumstances, the initial awkwardness quickly faded away.

"Brother Lu, look! Aren't the bird eggs we found today huge?"

Shi Meng and his companions carried a net bag on tree branches, inside which was an egg about the size of three children's heads.

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled, "Indeed, it's very large."

The children grinned, shook the net bag, and called out:

"Let's go find a place to set up a fire and grill it, so Brother Lu can have a taste."

As the leader of the village's children, Shi Meng's call immediately drew a small group of older children who got up and joined him in the chores.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

After they became more familiar with each other, they were no longer as reserved as they had been at the beginning.

He himself has changed from being called "Mr." by Shi Meng to being called "Brother Lu" now.

It must be said that Shi Meng truly lives up to his reputation for being incredibly energetic.

Compared to other children, he was even more active. In the past few days, besides the roasted chicken at the beginning, he also picked a bunch of delicious wild fruits, caught a bunch of small river crabs, caught a wild rabbit, and even caught a fluttering chicken...

Such a brilliant record further solidifies Shi Meng's reputation as the king of children.

"This way, you don't have to worry about cultivation, and you're carefree. It's really quite nice."

Looking at the group of children who were full of interest, Lu Changzhi said softly.

Although the lives of these mortals in Mountain and Sea Village are finite, lasting only a hundred years, it seems like a fleeting moment.

However, after spending a few days there, he noticed that living here meant fewer unnecessary disturbances, and the pace of life was leisurely and pleasant.

Those who cultivate themselves may have long lifespans, but they are mostly either in seclusion or engaged in cultivation.

They seem to have a long lifespan, but if you take away the time spent on cultivation, how long can they really have?

If one's talent is strong enough, one can reach a certain peak early on, and the remaining years will naturally be long.

However, for most practitioners, without cultivation and seclusion, it is impossible to gain a longer lifespan. They spend their entire lives in endless cultivation and seclusion, constantly expending their energy for a possible breakthrough.

Between the two, he preferred the former, which he could enjoy for a short while.

Just then, the system's voice interrupted Lu Changzhi's thoughts:

"It seems that Master doesn't need to cultivate either, right?"

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow and suddenly said:

"Well said!"

A sudden remark caused the system to fall silent for Sanxi:

"Master, what do you mean by that answer?"

Clearly, the system didn't understand.

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:

"I clearly need to consider cultivation as well, but you say I don't seem to need to. So, in that case..."

Lu Changzhi paused, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"You've already found a way to reduce my concerns about cultivation!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

System: "Master, I..."

"Looks like I was right."

Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and said:

"Hand it over."

The system remained silent for a long time, then suddenly a great golden light shone from within the system's glow.

Lu Changzhi's eyelids twitched, and he was surprised.

"Could it be that they actually tricked us into revealing something?"

Just then, the golden light rapidly condensed.

Then, under Lu Changzhi's gaze, it transformed into a large number:

Lu Changzhi was taken aback.

At this moment, the light flew towards Lu Changzhi and condensed into something in his palm.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it.

It's a dish of golden garlic.

"System, can you explain this?"

As soon as the voice faded, the system said:

"Six, even relatives are cheated, the garlic owner is ruthless."

After a pause, the garlic cloves vanished with a thud, and the system voice continued:

"Master, I'm going. Wait for me."

Lu Changzhi blinked.

So, even though I was unwilling, I still did it?

Unconsciously, Lu Changzhi seemed to see that the system's conscience had grown a bit more.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi turned his attention back to the village, watching Shi Meng and the others roasting large eggs over a fire. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"Won't it explode if you bake it like this?"

Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the roasted egg.

Time passed little by little.

The eggs are not yet cooked.

Just then, voices came from the other side of the village, sounding somewhat hurried.

"Village chief, quick! Fourth is injured!"

Shouts could be heard from some distance away.

In the village, figures quickly emerged from many houses, and even the children who were busy roasting eggs stopped and hurried forward.

For this ordinary village, hunting is crucial for their food supply.

Injury, however, is a very serious matter.

Lu Changzhi looked into the distance and saw the leader of the group, two men, supporting Shi Meng's father. His left leg was covered in blood, and his thigh was bound with rope.

By focusing his mind on it, Lu Changzhi quickly came to a conclusion.

Although the wound was deep, its location was good, and it did not involve any serious injuries.

Such injuries are nothing to cultivators with abundant resources.

For him, it would be even easier to heal it completely.

In another room, Lu Changzhi noticed that Jin Fugui had also gone out. A thought struck him, and he asked:

"Fugui, in this situation, what do you plan to do?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple intends to take a look first."

As Jin Fugui transmitted his voice, he also drew closer to the past.

The process was not complicated. Shi Qinglin took some medicine powder wrapped in several layers, examined the wound, treated it, covered it with the medicine powder, and then wrapped it up again.

Clearly, this has happened many times before.

Seeing that the injuries were not too serious, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Fugui then transmitted his voice:

"Master, I've discovered that the medicinal powder they're using, along with some of the herbs found nearby, could be improved. As for the wound treatment methods, if I could learn from what I learned at the Gold and Jade Pavilion, it might help the injuries heal faster. I plan to ask the village chief for his opinion..."

"Not bad." Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.

It must be said that Jin Fugui's considerations are very practical.

Using elixirs or methods only available to cultivators can only alleviate immediate difficulties and cannot provide true help.

In contrast, the medicinal powder and the method of treating the wound are entirely about teaching people how to fish.

At this point, the village chief, having finished treating the wound, began to inquire about the cause of the incident.

Lu Changzhi also focused his attention on it.

If nothing unexpected happens, is there something that requires Fugui's involvement?

Then Shi Meng's father, Shi Sen, gestured to the rather large beast carcass behind them and said:

"This beast has gone mad for some reason. We didn't provoke it, yet it went berserk towards us. Fortunately, it wasn't too strong, otherwise, there probably would have been many more today..."

As they were talking, Shi Sen seemed to suddenly notice something, and his gaze paused.

The next moment, his expression changed, and his gaze shifted to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Sen stood up abruptly and, in front of everyone, began to untie the rattan belt around his waist.
