During the day, the small village became lively, and Jiang Li and others saw more villagers.
As the aunt said last night, the villagers were discussing whether to establish contact with the outside world.
Compared with the outside world, this small village seems very backward. Nowadays, no one knows that Kyushu has connected to several worlds, let alone that the price of primary talismans has dropped again and again.
In the past ten years or so, Kyushu has developed rapidly, which has little impact on high-level monks, but has a significant impact on low-level monks and mortals. If you don't leave the mountain for a few years, you will be abandoned by the times.
Jiang Li also discovered that there were problems with the villagers' cultivation methods, which were slightly different from orthodox cultivation methods. This was a big problem.
"It should be because I have been practicing on my own for a long time and gradually deviated from the direction."
"And the mountain moving that aunt talked about yesterday..."
If you want to move mountains, you need at least the help of monks in the transformation stage, but the small village obviously has no place worthy of the help of the monks in the transformation stage.
Jiang Li pondered deeply. Yu Yin must have known the situation in the small village when he chose this place as the third level. Even so, Yu Yin still limited the competition rules to the foundation building period. There must be some reason.
While Jiang Li was thinking, he climbed over the mountains and came outside the mountains to observe the external situation.
Outside the mountain is a simple small town, which doesn't even have any foundation-building monks.
"With your physical fitness at the third level of Qi training, it would take more than an hour to go from the small village to the outside of the mountain. This trip would take nearly three hours. It is too time-consuming."
Jiang Li and the others approached the village chief again.
"Village Chief, I heard that you want to establish contact with the outside world?"
"I'm thinking about it. I called people in the village together a few days ago. Everyone was very noisy and had various opinions. Some people were curious about the outside and wanted to go out and have a look. Some people thought that living here for generations could be done.
Since we are self-sufficient, there is no need to move away. The most outrageous thing is that the spirit of the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains was used to impress Jiang Renhuang and let Jiang Renhuang use his supernatural powers to move mountains. It is really nonsense."
"Now some people in the village feel that Jiang Renhuang is omnipotent. When Jiang Renhuang sees their difficulties, he will definitely help them."
The village was helpless. Emperor Jiang Ren had been in power for more than three hundred years. Even if the village was closed, there were still people going out. Having heard the legend of Emperor Jiang Ren, and coupled with the idea of getting something for nothing, some people began to fantasize about pie-in-the-sky things.
"What do you think, village chief?"
"I don't know. To be honest, I went outside a few years ago and saw the art of refining weapons. It was completely different from the art of refining weapons that you showed last night. The outside world has undergone tremendous changes, but we have stopped moving forward.
In a few decades, the village and the outside world will really become two different worlds."
"But the outside world is full of scams and deceptions. I'm worried that if we go outside, our whole village might be tricked into mining."
"Can you tell me about the situation outside now?"
Jiang Li nodded: "Empress Yuyin is still in power today. Ten years ago, she became a monk in the Tribulation Period and completely controlled the court. After that, she tried to change the Tianyuan Dynasty."
The village chief was a little unconvinced: "Can the Tianyuan Dynasty change? The Tianyuan Dynasty used the national destiny as a chessboard. The more intense the struggle, the stronger the national destiny. This is what it is like today."
Bai Hongtu said: "Yu Yin said that the Tianyuan Dynasty used to fight openly and secretly. Now she wants to reduce the frequency of secret fights, increase the number of open fights, and change from vicious competition to healthy competition. In this way, the national destiny will not be damaged and the people will live a better life.
Better than before.”
"She has not done this before. Firstly, she did not fully control the Tianyuan Dynasty. Secondly, she was worried that changing the national policy would damage the national destiny and drag her to death."
"Now that she has passed through the tribulation period, all the strength of the national destiny can only barely touch the edge of the tribulation period. Even if the national destiny changes, it will not have much impact on her."
At this point, Jiang Li had roughly understood what Yu Yin meant.
"If someone is willing to help you move outside the mountains and build terraces for farming, how much money can you give?"
Once outside, you still need to find a job to maintain your livelihood.
The village chief was a little embarrassed: "Our village is very poor. Even if we hunt in the mountains for rare animal skins, spiritual grass and other items, we can only hire foundation-building monks."
"That's enough."
Yu Yin's intention is to make the village self-reliant instead of blindly relying on others, which is roughly the same as Jiang Li's consistent views.
"However, there are still many villagers who are unwilling to move out. We are trying to persuade them one by one, fearing that we may not have enough time."
Jiang Li found the leader of the Luban Sect, Tang Ben and dozens of other weapon refiners.
Other weapon refiners were also helping around the village. In the process of helping, they also discovered that the key to the problem was to move the village out.
Once this problem is solved, other minor problems will be solved easily.
After Jiang Li said a few words to them, they understood what Jiang Li meant and began to work separately to persuade the villagers.
During this period, everyone exchanged ideas on how to refine simple spiritual treasures that could be used for moving, reclaiming wasteland, and farming.
Jiang Li watched their exchange with envy.
The top weapon refiners in Kyushu expressed their own opinions, and all of them had merits, but no one was convinced by the other, and the opinions could not be unified for a long time.
In the end, it was Tang Ben, recognized as the first person to refine weapons, who took charge of the overall situation, integrated opinions, and refined farming tools that could be used by mortals.
"This kind of spiritual treasure can be promoted on a large scale." Tang Ben nodded. This kind of agricultural tool is more convenient and easier to use than the one he designed himself.
"There are no masters of weapon refining around me. I have always studied by myself without discussing it with anyone. This kind of free discussion feels really good."
"Otherwise, let's agree on a fixed time in the future for everyone to discuss issues related to weapon refining. As for the location, we might as well set it at Luban Sect." The only weapon refiner in the room who did not know how to refine weapons suggested.
"I think this method is feasible." The leader of the Luban Sect was the first to agree.
"Good idea." Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi agreed.
What followed was a chorus of agreement.
Three days later, the whole village moved outside the mountains and settled in a small town.
Jiang Li had already done some research. The vast area outside the mountain was sparsely populated, making it suitable for the village to settle.
Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi settled in the village and communicated with the mayor. The number of people in the town increased, and the mayor of course agreed.
Originally, the mayor wanted to extort some money from the villagers, but Jiang Li hinted that this small village had attracted the attention of Queen Yuyin, and also showed the token given by Yuyin.
The token is a forgery, and it is true that Yu Yin pays attention to it.
In this way, the mayor would not dare to act rashly.
Jiang Li also told the villagers to be more discerning, think twice before acting, and to discuss with the village chief if they are unsure about something.
During this period, the weapon refiners used the newly invented simple spiritual treasures to help the village open up wasteland.
Everything ended exactly five days later.
competition is over.
"I didn't expect you guys to really guess what I meant." Yu Yin appeared and talked with Jiang Li and the others.
When moving, only one foundation-building-stage weapon refiner could solve the problem, but that would take too long. All Yuyin requested a five-day time limit for the weapon refiners to move together.
As for the future exchange meeting of weapon refiners being held in Luban Sect, it was an unexpected surprise for Yu Yin.
"But in this third level, you are solving the same problem together. Who should win?"
Jiang Li smiled sheepishly and said: "This competition, especially the first two levels, is just us messing around. It can't be me. You are the judge, and you make your own decision."
Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi also felt that they had gone too far, and both said that they could not be the first place.
"Then let Tang Ben be the first according to the merit."
