I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 74 One Man Against a Nation

To be honest, Li Boyang did not expect that Xi Luo would eventually seek help from the big black dog in the Ghost God Cliff Cave.

Because he only used the Heavenly Mandate Bone Armor to divine the answer.

Xi Luo has the ability to influence the celestial phenomena and weather within a radius of hundreds of kilometers for a long period of time after the altar is destroyed.

Although this is different from Xi Luo's usual stereotype of being "illiterate" and "unreliable mountain god".

But Li Boyang simply assumed that the Huaijiang witch had left Xiluo some magical treasure and didn't think about it further.

It's no exaggeration to say that what's equivalent to the stereotype of Xi Luo is her "Doraemon" attribute of being able to pull out all sorts of amazing gadgets from time to time.

Most importantly, the divination results from the Destiny Bone Armor indicate that this matter seems to be of great benefit to Xi Luo.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

Not long after the village meeting at the ancestral temple ended, a pigeon landed on the wall of Li Boyang's courtyard.

That pigeon was none other than the transformed E'tu.

"Yes, I'm ready."

E'tu's voice came from the pigeon's beak, and his gaze immediately focused on Li Boyang in the courtyard.

At this moment, Li Boyang was continuously throwing away the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor.

Li Jingshu was busy going in and out, with a bright smile on her face.

Now that only Li Boyang and Li Jingshu are in the house, E'tu doesn't need to deliberately hide anything from them when communicating.

"Whether she's an old woman or a barbarian, it doesn't affect my attitude towards her."

"If it were your mother's soul that was taken away, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, you wouldn't just sit idly by, would you?"

For some reason, E'tu seemed a little nervous when he said these words.

"Retrieving the soul of the female barbarian from the hands of the Houtian clan is much more troublesome than simply collecting the body of the old woman."

He rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.

Li Boyang's mature-beyond-his-years appearance was quite amusing to watch.

At the very least, Li Jingshu, standing to the side, made no attempt to hide the curiosity on her face, her gaze constantly shifting and pausing between Li Boyang and E'tu.

If it weren't for the fact that she still had work to do, E'tu had no doubt that the other party would have brought out a small stool and sat down to watch the show very attentively.

"In your words, this is called taking the initiative."

Fortunately, E'tu had already prepared for Li Boyang's refusal, so he immediately presented his reasons.

“The people of Guifang Kingdom are known for holding grudges. They suffered such a great loss in the Hundred Mountains, and they will definitely continue to send troops here to capture those escaped slaves.”

"I believe this period of time will not be too long. After the autumn harvest in August or September, they should take corresponding actions."

"Instead of sitting and waiting for the Ghost Fang Kingdom and the Five Gods to make their move, we should find a way to catch them off guard."

"If we can seize enough food from them, we can also settle those outsiders."

Hearing E'tu's long explanation, Li Boyang smiled helplessly.

"And then, in the process, incidentally, you snatch back the female barbarian's soul, right?"

Before E'tu could refute or argue, Li Boyang immediately spoke again.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to refuse your suggestion, so don't be so nervous."

In his previous life, Li Boyang would never have had the idea or thought of "one man against a country".

The best course of action would be to lead the people of Lijia Village to migrate or escape before the army of Guifang Kingdom arrives.

Even if it's a migration destined to result in heavy casualties, it's still far better than being captured by the Ghost Fang Kingdom and used as "human sacrifices." However, in this world and this era, those who possess extraordinary power always enjoy certain privileges.

"I just want to know, do you know where the female barbarian's soul is?"

Do you know the location and specific details of the capital of the Guifang Kingdom?

Are you confident you can escape the storm unleashed by the Houtian Clan?

"If the five gods really launch a full-scale attack, have you considered how to repel them?"

After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked up at the pigeon on the courtyard wall and continued speaking.

"Everyone knows that it's better to strike first."

"The key is how to handle the series of chain reactions after taking action; that's when a person's wisdom and ability are truly tested."

"Courage without wisdom is nothing but recklessness."

She blinked involuntarily, and E'tu had to admit that she had indeed been thinking too simply.

"That's why I came to ask you for help."

“You are very clever, and with the protection of the Mountain Goddess, you must be able to think more comprehensively than a little monster like me.”

He rolled his eyes. The current Li Boyang was no longer the clueless newborn he was three years ago. How could he possibly believe E Tu's nonsense?

E'tu's strength may not be top-notch.

But anyone who actually considers him an ordinary spirit is simply making a ridiculous joke.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that they were willing to propose robbing the Guifang Kingdom's grain shows that they at least knew where the grain was hidden.

"I'm not smart, I'm just a little more cautious than you guys."

A barely perceptible glint of excitement flashed in Li Boyang's eyes; he inexplicably began to look forward to what was about to happen.

The true protagonists of this world... those gods who ruled this era—Li Boyang was very curious about the limits of their power.

My little brother is excited again...

Having witnessed the entire exchange between Li Boyang and E'tu, Li Jingshu silently muttered to herself.

Li Jingshu was very familiar with Li Boyang in this state; it was a feeling of excitement brought about by curiosity mixed with a desire to explore.

Li Boyang would exhibit this peculiar state whenever he tried to research a new project.

Species eugenics, breeding of superior varieties, tool forging, all kinds of cultivation methods, as well as those array altars and rituals that Li Jingshu couldn't understand at all, were all researched by Li Boyang in this state.

Xi Luo once commented that although Li Boyang said he was cautious, he was actually so audacious that he dared to analyze the essence of gods and even the workings of the world.

Of course, Li Jingshu, who was equally audacious, didn't care about any of that.

After all, Li Jingshu had been influenced by Li Boyang for many years and did not know what her younger brother's research meant for the world.

The only thing Li Jingshu knew for sure was that whenever Li Boyang entered this state, he would always create some strange or bizarre things or events.

[On the condition that you don't use me as a guinea pig...]

Tilting her head slightly, Li Jingshu couldn't help but have this thought flash through her mind.

The thought of the various training plans that Li Boyang had tailored for her gave Li Jingshu a bittersweet feeling.

I wonder how long this rabbit can withstand my minion's roughhousing?
