Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

The upper levels of hell.

Bai Li hovered in mid-air, her arms draped in front of her, gazing at the blue expanse of road below.

The stonemasons and blacksmiths led their donkeys and stacked the blue ice in the center of the basalt.

"At this rate, the Hell Highway will be open before the train even starts running!" Bai Li said calmly.

For this train line, the tracks had to be laid inch by inch, and the underpass had to be built. For every mile that was built, manpower and materials were piled up.

The Hell Highway was much simpler. On the way to the Nether Fortress, they brought back eleven pieces of ancient debris. Not satisfied, Bai Li ordered his men to circle around the lava sea and dig out another piece.

Twelve pieces, three of which were melted down to make three magnets.

Bai Li placed the magnets at the corresponding hell coordinates of the three counties. Once the compass was magnetized, along with lava, blue ice, and soul soil, the basalt road could extend all the way out.

Once the road surface is neat, cover it with another layer of half-bricks. The rest is to fill it with blue ice. Even if the craftsmen try to imitate it, the style will definitely be slightly different from the Li Cheng Line that Bai Li built himself.

As Bai Li was looking at it, she saw a report from Miao Zhiming in the chat box.

[Young Master Bai, all the academies and pastoral schools from several counties have arrived and are waiting at the administrative center.]

Bai Li was teleported back to her physical body.

……

Licheng, the administrative center.

In the hall, several scholars from the county town huddled together, exchanging greetings with clasped hands, while the Taoist priests stood by the pillars holding their whisks. The only old monk closed his eyes and twirled his prayer beads, each keeping to their own quiet place.

As soon as Bai Li appeared, the sounds in the hall were abruptly cut off and swallowed back. The scholars who had been whispering to each other just moments before didn't dare to breathe out.

They had heard that they were going to see the immortals today and were mentally prepared, but seeing a living person standing in front of them was another matter entirely.

Of the Taoist priests, only Feng Yuanzhen quickly regained his composure, while the old monk paused for a beat before turning the prayer beads.

After years of cultivation, he believed his mind was as clear as a mirror, but seeing this legendary immortal with his own eyes still made his heart flutter.

Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk's cultivation is indeed still shallow, and he still needs to cultivate in seclusion.

Bai Li waved her hand and said, "No need to be so formal, I just came to take a look."

Bai Li opened the trading window and used emeralds to upgrade the villagers. Miao Zhiming, familiar with the process, copied it down in his notebook and followed behind to record it.

Frostwalker Tier 2, Durability Tier 3, Sharpness Tier 4, Soul Swiftness Tier 2, Sweeping Blade Tier 3, Swift Stealth Tier 2, Bait Tier 2, Flame Protection Tier 4, Flame Amplification Tier 1, Efficiency Tier 2.

"Efficiency Two, Zhiming!" Bai Li exchanged all his items and called out. Miao Zhiming put a checkmark next to the person's name.

He had previously obtained a diamond axe with efficiency level 2 from a blacksmith job change, and now that enchantment books are available, he can enchant them onto a diamond pickaxe.

Bai Li has appeared before, and the Librarian with Durability 3 and Experience Repair has also been checked.

These will all be equipped with teleportation devices and will travel to Licheng daily.

There are many good enchantment books in the trading board, but he has to personally select each one for him, so the villagers can only do the enchanting for him.

If you want to exchange all the items you like, you have to spend all your time on transactions, and you can't do anything else.

The same applies to the three-diamond set protected by the blacksmith.

The librarian can get Protection Level 4, so it's not worth exchanging enchanted books every day just for that extra level of protection.

This time, the reassignment of positions in several counties of Hancheng resulted in five more pastors, four Taoist priests, and one Buddhist monk, among whom Feng Yuanzhen was.

Bai Li asked, "Now that you've all entered the Pastoral Academy, do you intend to go to Licheng, or stay where you were before?"

Feng Yuanzhen spoke first: I will stay in Licheng.

Bai Li looked at the others: What about you?

Back to Hancheng.

I'll go back now.

Several Taoist priests answered in turn.

Bai Li said: Okay, I will reserve a teleportation device for you. You just need to teleport to Licheng every day, and it won't take long.

None of them had any objections.

Bai Li continued: Yan Chengren will teach you how to refine medicine. After you return, you can bring it back to the brewing platform from the pastoral academy. Eighty percent of the medicine you refine will be handed over, and you can keep the remaining twenty percent for yourselves.

By the way, do you know how to refine external alchemy?

The Taoist priests looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of them shook his head with a wry smile: "Young Master Bai, please forgive us. Although we have cultivated for many years, we do not specialize in this path."

Another Taoist priest said: "I have only read a few alchemical texts. I am afraid I am not capable of actually doing it."

However, a few of my disciples have learned some basic skills from our seniors.

Bai Li immediately decided to bring them to Licheng, saying, "Feng Yuanzhen, you take them with you."

"Once they arrive, I will teach you that external alchemy technique!"

Feng Yuanzhen excitedly accepted the order.

After dealing with the pastor's matter, Bai Li returned to the academy, which had already undergone a preliminary screening.

Only a few newly transferred scholars remained, the youngest looking to be in his early twenties and the oldest no more than thirty.

Don't be nervous. Bai Li sat down at a work table. "I called you here to ask if you'd be willing to work with Song Yingxing and the others for a while."

Gao Yu stepped forward without hesitation, cupped his hands and said: "If Young Master Bai has any instructions, this student is willing."

The scholar surnamed Zheng followed closely behind: I am willing too.

The others also expressed their opinions.

Bai Li nodded:

The modern classroom built by Bai Li can be considered an experiment; his knowledge is ultimately scattered and unsystematic.

Those fragmented pieces of knowledge from later generations, like tangled threads, were organized and integrated during the year of instruction by Song Yingxing, Wang Zheng, Tang Ruowang, and others.

Now, it has been managed to be bundled into several bundles, which are beginning to take shape and can be used as teaching materials for widespread promotion.

For the next period of time, don't rush back to the county; stay in Licheng.

After you've completed your studies, go back to your own county. Bai Li said, "First, you'll become instructors, teaching other teachers. Then the teachers will teach the students. The knowledge will be passed down layer by layer."

Bai Li concluded by saying, "You're all so young to be able to switch professions, so you must all be quite intelligent. I brought you here not just to teach, but also so that if any of you have talent in Red Stone Exploration or anything else, you can stay and learn from Mr. Song and the others."

When it comes to talent, if you sow a handful of seeds and even a few seedlings grow, you've already made a profit.

Now several counties have established celestial offices, and they are gradually cultivating them. It's impossible for Song Yingxing and his two companions to handle all the research.

It took the group a while to realize what was going on.

This is about nurturing them!

Redstone and electricity are both fundamental principles, and they could learn from them—a rare and desirable opportunity.

Gao Yu and the others solemnly cupped their hands in greeting: "We understand."
