Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

”This limits the farmland we can develop, resulting in very little spirit rice each year.”

”If the population continues to soar, we might not have enough food.”

”In fact, if it weren’t for Ping’an buying large amounts of food from outside, we couldn’t support such a large population.”

An elder of Green Willow Village said sombrely.

In fact, Green Willow Village’s current development is entirely because Shi Ping’an mastered the ability to trade with the outside world, enabling the transport of external goods to Green Willow Village and selling the village’s specialties to the outside world.

This mutual exchange has led to prosperity for Green Willow Village, a veritable boom.

It’s crucial to realize that in the Demon Realm, the most abundant resources are various mineral resources.

Especially the special ores deep underground, untouched by the pollution of demon forces.

Besides Green Willow Village, no one can excavate these.

Even if they could excavate them, selling them is impossible, leaving them for personal use.

Only Shi Ping’an can sell these special ores to the Great Xuan Dynasty’s cultivators, in exchange for a large amount of spirit rice, spirit medicine, elixirs, and even various cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

”Being able to trade across endless space is a truly formidable ability, beyond imagination. It’s unclear where Ping’an acquired such an ability.”

”Isn’t it obvious? It’s surely from Mr. Jiang. All the changes in Green Willow Village owe to Mr. Jiang’s generosity; otherwise, our development wouldn’t be this fast.”

”Indeed, if it weren’t for Mr. Jiang, Green Willow Village might have been obliterated by demons a hundred years ago, and we wouldn’t see today’s development.”

”It’s a pity that not long ago, Mr. Jiang departed, so we can no longer listen to his teachings.”

”It’s beyond control; Mr. Jiang must be a great power of the human race, managing countless affairs, naturally unable to stay permanently in a small human village like ours.”

”I wonder what level of cultivator Mr. Jiang is; surely he’s long surpassed Divinity Transformation.”

”Heh, it’s not just Refining Void; this is the Demon Realm, the demons’ territory, where even Integration Cultivators dare not enter rashly. Surely Mr. Jiang is already a Mahayana Cultivator.”

”Indeed, only Mahayana Cultivators dare to enter the Demon Realm freely; meeting Mr. Jiang is truly our monumental luck.”

”However, even as a Mahayana Cultivator, Mr. Jiang cannot contend with demons. He must cautiously avoid them, as the power of the demons is incredibly terrifying.”

”There’s no choice; it’s said there are over a hundred Mahayana Demons in the Demon Realm. No matter how formidable Mr. Jiang is, he’s still just one individual, incapable of handling so many.”

”Ultimately, Green Willow Village must remain low-profile and not continue expanding the population size. Otherwise, if demons discover something amiss, Green Willow Village will be doomed. We must completely conceal our existence.”

The many elders of Green Willow Village discussed this extensively.

They revered Jiang Fan immensely, as all these changes owe to this enigmatic gentleman.

Even though they don’t fully know the gentleman’s true background, it doesn’t matter; simply knowing he harbors no malice towards them is entirely sufficient.

”By the way, where’s Ping’an? What place did Ping’an go to?”

Someone asked curiously, as they didn’t see Shi Ping’an’s presence.

Generally, Shi Ping’an would certainly attend such elder-level meetings, given his status as the strongest Divinity Transformation Cultivator in Green Willow Village.

Had he not been disinterested in the village chief position, he’d likely have been Green Willow Village’s chief by now.

”Not long ago, Ping’an discovered an ancient teleportation array.”

”And activated this teleportation array.”

”It’s said this array has transported Ping’an to a secure area.”

”That territory belongs to the Demon Race and lacks the presence of demons.”

”Ping’an is currently exploring that region, seeking a secure location.”

”If a secure place is truly found, perhaps we can teleport part of the population there.”

”That place might become one of Green Willow Village’s escape routes.”

The village chief, Shi Hao, said softly.
