I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 135 - 4: Out with the Old, In with the New (1/3)
"To be precise, it's more about being somewhat wary of me..."
When Er Tu said this, there was a hint of helplessness and melancholy in his voice.
Li Boyang's concerns about Er Tu have long existed, possibly tracing back to their very first meeting. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
In fact, Er Tu has never hidden his mysterious side.
He could always promptly provide the books, ores, and materials that Li Boyang needed.
Until the battle with the Five Directions Gods three years ago.
Whether it was to protect the rebirth of Nvman or to sever his supply channels...
The result was that Er Tu hasn't brought out anything truly valuable ever since.
Of course, given their long-term friendship, Li Boyang naturally wouldn't mind such trivial matters.
What Li Boyang truly worried about was Er Tu's relationship with the Guifang Kingdom.
After all, things like the Prison Soul Tripod were never concealed by Li Boyang from Er Tu.
If Er Tu ever divulged this information to the Guifang Kingdom, it would undoubtedly spark a new crisis.
As for whether Er Tu deliberately or accidentally disclosed it?
In this extraordinary world where gods truly exist, debating these matters is utterly meaningless.
"Is there something you're hiding from the Prophet?"
With pure eyes, head tilted slightly, Nvman, being able to perceive Li Boyang's thoughts, could naturally sense some of Er Tu's intentions too.
"Why not be honest with the Prophet?"
"I think the Prophet is a good person; he will surely help you."
Not directly answering Nvman's question, Er Tu merely shifted the topic with a rather blunt tone.
"Hmm, the Prophet is indeed a good person..."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help us cultivate new fields here."
As he cast his gaze upon the freshly cultivated fields, Er Tu's eyes reflected a sense of sentimentality.
He didn't know how Li Boyang convinced Xiluo to agree to such extensive land cultivation near Feilai Peak.
But he knew what Li Boyang intended these fields for.
For selecting and optimizing better seeds, attempting and cultivating crop diversity...
Furthermore, Li Boyang was also going to modify the soil itself.
By using fertilization, irrigation, biological modification, grooming the earth vein, and even divine techniques, turning barren soil into fertile ground.
In crafting this series of plans, Li Boyang never concealed them from Xiluo and Er Tu.
While Xiluo was manageable, Er Tu was well-versed.
He naturally understood the magnitude of change Li Boyang's plans would bring to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, perhaps even the world.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for you agreeing to take care of these new fields..."
"The Prophet's series of plans wouldn't have come to fruition so quickly."
At this juncture, Er Tu looked at Nvman as if seeing the old Granny from before.
Similarly kind-hearted, equally approachable...
The only difference perhaps was that the current Nvman hadn't gone through many worldly experiences, appearing innocent and pure.
"Because I'm the Spring God!"
Cheerfully soaring from Er Tu's back, Nvman nonchalantly said.
"I love watching the process of life's growth, I love seeing the vitality emanating from the mountains and earth."
"Seeing everything break through the soil, it brings me immense joy."
"However, I'm a bit worried now, can I really fulfill the tasks the Prophet has entrusted me with?"
Flapping the cicada wings on her back, Nvman landed on a sprouting seedling and asked.
"I don't understand anything, nor do I know how to help them grow..."
"The Prophet wants me to take care of them, and it's quite a burden on me!"
Imitating Li Jingshu's tone, Nvman's delicate and coquettish demeanor made Er Tu can't help but laugh.
"You don't need to worry about that, the Prophet's personality ensures he always has multiple plans prepared in advance for everything..."
"Even in the worst-case scenario, he can prevent things from spiraling out of control."
Pausing slightly, Er Tu continued with a laugh.
"Besides, as you said, you're the Spring God, the Innate Divine who governs growth in all things."
"Even if you don't actively intervene, you can still accelerate these quality seeds' growth, allowing them to reach their most perfect state."
"For the Prophet, that alone is sufficient."
Er Tu never doubted Li Boyang's capabilities.
The crop seeds that caught his eye were undoubtedly among the finest.
So long as the Spring God Nvman could help these seeds through their most vulnerable stages, their feedback could also bring about corresponding growth for Nvman.
This is a mutually beneficial cycle.
This distinguishes the Spring God from other Mountain Gods, Water Gods, River Gods, Wind Gods, and Earth Gods.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
With a simple mind, Nvman accepted Er Tu's explanation easily without much thought.
"I was initially worried that my insufficient abilities might delay the Prophet's plans!"
...........................
Inside the cave of Ghost God Cliff at Feilai Peak.
The big black dog imprisoned here rarely did anything but sleep, instead staring blankly at the now emptied rocky crag.
That was the place where Li Boyang cultivated quality rice seeds, and a rarity that brought joy to the big black dog in recent years.
However, with the rebirth of the second generation Nvman, and Xiluo's consent to develop land around Feilai Peak, those quality seeds were gradually transplanted outside by Li Boyang.
As the saying goes, "out with the old, in with the new," Li Boyang made no secret of the transplant process, not even from the big black dog.
Thus, the black dog learned more about subsequent plans and arrangements from Li Boyang.
"Diversification of staple crops? The concept of agricultural by-products?"
"Three-harvest tri-crop rice a year? High-yield hybrid rice?"
"I never expected those whimsical ideas of his might actually have a chance to come true..."
Just a slight movement caused a dull pain from the chains deeply embedded in the cliff face around the big black dog.
"And then there's the so-called 'soil improvement plan' and 'greenhouse experiment,' it turns out humanity can indeed change nature!"
"Even without relying on the power of gods, humans can still create miracles."
"Lush plains for miles? Lands of rich black soil?"
"Wu Yao, if you could hear these grand visions alive, wouldn't you marvel as I do?"
With eyes revealing a deep reminiscence, the big black dog couldn't help but remember the Huai River Witch from a thousand years ago.
"That foolish cat may have let you down, but I won't."
"It's unfortunate that a millennium has sufficed to erase most things, including those foolish people who took your life."
"But believe me, I won't be confined to this ghostly place forever."
Slowly standing up, the chains on the big black dog shivered slightly as well.
Still, the big black dog ignored this, instead murmuring in a resolute tone.
"My Primordial Spirit is already foretelling me; the timing for my release is approaching..."
"This is the power of the Celestial Destiny Divine Power..."
"Even an incomplete Celestial Destiny Divine Power is enough to replicate some of your abilities."
"If it weren't for that kid and the foolish cat keeping constant watch over me, I would have known much more with the support of the 'Nine Chapters of Divination'."
