The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 136: Shennong of Lieshan Clan

In Jiuxian Mountain, inside the Taoyuan Cave, the cave that Guangchengzi had just opened up.

Guang Chengzi sat cross-legged on a cushion, a mountain god seal emitting an earthy yellow light hovering before him. He was using the newly refined mountain god seal to gather the spiritual energy of the earth veins.
"Duobao, you guys went too far. You actually cut off the spiritual energy of the earth veins of Jiuxian Mountain. However, this also helped me. It made it easy for me to seize the Mountain God Seal of Jiuxian Mountain. With the help of the Mountain God Seal, I can also gather the spiritual energy of the earth veins."

When Guangchengzi was thinking, the mountain god seal in front of him suddenly shook slightly and sank into the ground.

"Huh? I have clearly refined this Mountain God Seal, how could this happen... Could it be that the Zhenyuan Saint of Wanshou Mountain took it back? A dignified saint..." Guangchengzi was a little surprised, and when he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt a little resentful.

So, Guangchengzi left Jiuxian Mountain in a somewhat annoyed manner and went to Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain to ask to see Yuanshi Tianzun.

As the former backbone of the prehistoric world, Kunlun Mountain, formed after the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, is definitely the top holy place for cultivation in the prehistoric world.

In the ethereal Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun, sitting high on a cloud bed, opened his eyes only after listening to Guangchengzi's narration.
"Although many of the immortal mountains and blessed lands in the prehistoric world are considered ownerless, your uncle Shi Mo controls the earth vein formation, and Zhen Yuanzi has conferred the Mountain God seal upon them. It's already inappropriate for you to take action in Xingyun City and snatch the Mountain God seal. Do you really need me to go and talk to them specifically about this little matter concerning your cave?"

"Your uncle Shi Mo is a saint, so he wouldn't bother with you about this. Cutting off the spiritual energy of the Nine Immortals Mountain's veins was Duobao's instruction. There's no point in saying more! Without the spiritual energy of the veins, setting up a formation to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is just the same."

"Nine Immortals Mountain is merely a place for you to cultivate. You are my master's direct disciple, yet you have yet to attain Daluo. Therefore, the opportunity to teach the last of the Three Emperors of the human race can only be given to Xuandu, a disciple of your master's uncle."

"I have disappointed you, my teacher!" Guangchengzi knelt down in shame upon hearing this.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head slightly and said: "I don't have many disciples. You have only been practicing for a short time, but your talents and understanding are not bad. You can achieve Daluo or even become a Quasi-Sage in the future. It is only a matter of time before you catch up with Duobao."

"Just practice with peace of mind! I will fight for you the opportunity to teach the Five Emperors of the human race in the future. But if your cultivation is not good enough, you will not be able to grasp the opportunity even if it is right in front of you," Yuanshi Tianzun continued.

Guang Chengzi was immediately excited when he heard this: "Thank you, Master! I will practice hard and strive to achieve Daluo as soon as possible."

After Guangchengzi left, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Shi Mo, you're not satisfied with the Earth Vein Formation, and you've built so many Nebula Cities at all costs. Are you planning to set up a Heavenly Star Formation? However, no matter how powerful the formation is, it's only comparable to the power of a saint. Is it worth spending so much time and effort on it? What exactly do you want to do?"

As Pangu and other high-ranking officials and many powerful monks retreated into seclusion, the human race gradually formed a loose tribal alliance.
Fuxi's son Shaodian lacked both ability and prestige, and was simply unable to shoulder the burden of being the Emperor of Man.

Moreover, Shaodian was influenced by his uncle Gou Chen and particularly liked to travel around, which inevitably gave the elders of the human race and the leaders of various tribes an impression of being immature and unstable.

In the Jiang tribe near the Wei River basin in the ancient land, there was a woman named Ren Si. One day, she met Shao Dian near Mount Hua.

Seeing that Shaoding had an extraordinary demeanor and was surrounded by some human cultivators and powerful warriors, and was obviously a descendant of a large tribe, Ren Si developed a good impression of Shaoding.

After they visited Huashan together, Shaoding left to continue his journey. Not long after Ren Si returned, she found out she was pregnant and gave birth to a child, whom she named Lieshan.

Although Fuxi had established marriage etiquette, the vast human race was still in the transition stage from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society.

Therefore, having children out of wedlock is not uncommon in today's human tribes. Not long after Lieshan was born, the great master Xuandu, a disciple of Laozi, went directly to see Ren Si. After revealing his identity, he proposed to take Lieshan as his disciple. Ren Si happily agreed.

The human race today is not ignorant. Even ordinary people know the reputation of the saints.

Laozi founded the Human Religion, and his only direct disciple, Master Xuandu, was also one of the earliest human beings. Although he was not well-known before, after becoming Laozi's disciple, he had already quietly achieved the Daluo Dao Fruit.

For Lieshan, being able to worship him as a master and become the disciple of a saint is a great blessing.

Lieshan was born extraordinary. He was very smart when he was young. He could speak in three days and walk in five days. This was a rare thing in the Jiang tribe.

At this time, the human race, under the rule of Emperor Suiren and Emperor Fuxi, experienced a rapid population growth, which led to a decrease in prey around the tribes where the human race lived, and the human race gradually faced famine.

Hunting and fishing alone are no longer able to meet the needs of rapid human development.

When the young Lieshan saw his tribesmen suffering from famine, he decided to find a way to solve the problem.

In fact, at this time, humans had already begun to widely grow corn, and the seeds were naturally provided by Shi Mo.

However, the cultivation conditions of acquired spiritual corn are relatively harsh. It needs to be grown in places with rich spiritual energy. It is basically used by human cultivators and warriors as a spiritual material to assist in cultivation.

Under Xuandu's guidance, Lieshan, who was still a teenager, made some progress in his cultivation and then began to leave the tribe to look for grains that could be grown and eaten by humans.

In the end, Lieshan found five kinds of grains that could be widely grown, including common corn, which later became the five grains.

So he returned to Lieshan, the home of the Jiang clan, and summoned the tribesmen who were suffering from famine to burn the mountains into fields and plant grains, allowing humans to gradually move from a fishing and hunting civilization to a farming civilization.

With the bumper harvests of grains and large-scale planting, the food problems of the tribal people were finally solved.

So after growing up in Lieshan, he was respected by his tribesmen and became the patriarch of the Jiang tribe, and Lieshan became the Lieshan clan.

The Jiang tribe gradually began to use grains as their staple food, supplemented by fishing and hunting. Not only did they solve the problem of food and clothing, but they also gradually became a relatively wealthy tribe among the human race.

Some scattered small tribes around heard that the Lieshan tribe hardly had to take risks in hunting or picking wild fruits, and they could have enough food as long as they worked hard in the fields, so they came to join them.

Because Lieshan taught humans how to grow grains, he was honored as Shennong.

The abundance of food also meant that people gradually had surplus grain, as well as medicinal materials, animal skins, etc., and the ancient trading method of barter gradually began to appear among the human race.

However, the inequality and chaotic transactions that occurred during this exchange process made Shennong somewhat worried.
