I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 73 The Eclipse Lord
"Village chief, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Yes! This is too risky. Let's wait another month or two!"

"We've never even heard of planting twice a year. Who knows if it will affect the harvest the following year?"

"Yes, we don't really need to take risks for those outsiders!"

……

As expected, the villagers were largely opposed to harvesting the rice paddies ahead of schedule.

Even with their experience from the previous three years, they knew that the grain seeds provided by Li Boyang were genuine, high-quality seeds.

If the harvest is done a few days earlier, it is indeed possible to plant a second crop before winter arrives.

On the one hand, it's out of a desire for stability, and on the other hand, it's also due to their understanding of soil fertility...

The villagers are unsure whether planting twice in one year will have a significant impact on soil fertility, or even affect their grain planting plans for the following year.

In most cases, villagers would rather spend the next six months growing vegetables and fruits than consider planting staple crops.

No one dislikes stability; everyone instinctively abhors risk...

"As everyone has said before, no one knows what kind of things people driven mad by hunger will do."

At this moment, Li Boyang, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Although his voice was still young, it successfully silenced the chattering villagers.

"We are not only saving people, but also protecting ourselves."

"Do you think there are only a few dozen outsiders here?"

"No, the actual number of outsiders who come here is far greater than you imagine..."

I know these mountain people have little concept of numbers.

Therefore, Li Boyang didn't bother to talk about data with them, but directly stated the essence and outcome of the whole matter.

"If we choose to accept these few dozen people, it means that they will stand with us to protect our village until more people arrive here in the future."

“We give them a ‘hope’ to live, and they will absolutely not allow anyone else to destroy that ‘hope’.”

The childish voice echoed in the ancestral temple, and Li Boyang's words were cold and truthful.

"As for those issues you're worried about?"

"Have you all witnessed these things with your own eyes over the past three years?"

"Given enough fertilizer, this land has a much greater carrying capacity than you can imagine."

Before anyone could object, Li Boyang continued speaking.

“You are unwilling to take the extra time to form a ‘production brigade’, nor are you willing to try collective (just in case) labor…”

“Now that there is a group of homeless people willing to do this for you, you stand up and oppose it.”

Do you think the mountain god would like selfish people like you?

Li Boyang was unaware of the situation of the other mountain gods, but he clearly had the ability to influence Xi Luo's decisions.

The villagers were clearly aware of this.

Thus, the Lijia Village representative meeting ended with the old village chief looking somewhat helpless.

This child... is still too sharp and outspoken.

Meanwhile, outside the Ghost Cliff Cave on Feilai Peak.

"That's really rare! You actually took the initiative to come and find me?"

"I thought you would keep pretending to be stupid?"

The big black dog's voice came from the Ghost God Cliff Cave, with a hint of teasing in its tone.

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, that's called tacit understanding."

Standing proudly outside the Ghost God Cliff Cave, Xi Luo behaved with the same aloofness as all felines.

"That child is too clever, so clever that even I don't know how to teach him." "Since that's the case, he's found a 'test subject' willing to cooperate with him, so why should I bother him?"

When she said this, Xiluo's voice paused slightly.

"On the contrary, you actually willingly went through with his wild ideas..."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that the former 'Ecstasy King' would trust a human so much."

Xi Luo's words successfully silenced the big black dog for a moment, but what followed was an indescribable anger.

“A thousand years ago, I trusted a human being in the same way.”

"But in the end, she betrayed my trust and sealed me inside a mountain dog!"

In response to the big black dog's anger, Xi Luo also raised her voice and roared back.

"That's because you were the first to betray her trust!"

"You knew perfectly well that she loved humans so much, yet you slaughtered them indiscriminately in pursuit of power."

"Finally, you even went so far as to devour the heavens and earth, trying to stop the sun from rising..."

"You indirectly killed my sister, you have no right to say such things!"

In an instant, the entire Feilai Peak trembled, and countless boulders slid down the mountainside.

It was obvious that the big black dog sealed in the Ghost God Cliff Cave was completely enraged, and its anger even caused the entire mountain to tremble.

"You and I are ultimately different..."

"In the end, you are just a domesticated animal, while I am a god who forever worships freedom and power."

"You can't understand my yearning for freedom and power, and you can't possibly realize what that doll is actually researching..."

After a moment, the big black dog forcibly suppressed its anger and asked.

"Stupid cat, you didn't come here just to provoke me, did you?"

Perhaps the seal of a thousand years has tempered the big black dog's temper considerably.

Even Xi Luo didn't expect that the other party would be able to suppress his anger and speak to her.

Although the other party's words were still barbed and full of hostility, at least they were able to communicate again.

"That child needs help now..."

Suddenly realizing the purpose of her trip, Xi Luo lowered her voice, looking slightly embarrassed.

"That doll's personality is exactly the same as her older sister's."

"He always likes to create trouble for himself, and this time he's taken on a hot potato."

“He came up the mountain yesterday to beg me, asking if I had any way to sustainably influence the celestial phenomena…”

"Over the next few months, we will maintain a warm, humid climate suitable for rice cultivation in the villages within a radius of hundreds of kilometers..."

The big black dog immediately understood the implied meaning from the sound of the strings.

"So, you, a half-baked amateur, just agreed without hesitation?"

"Wait, can't that doll do this by itself?"

"With the altar he built himself, wouldn't this be an easy task without divine intervention?"

"Was he injured last time?"

"No, his injuries aren't that serious!"

The big black dog muttered to itself, refuting its own guess, and gradually began to laugh.

"Haha, that kid's planning to pull off a big heist!"

"He needs to concentrate fully on doing something big, so he can't even take time out from time to time to 'make clouds and rain'."
