1104: Chapter 672 1104: Chapter 672 âYe Qiu, Iâve already learned how to refine Pills now, so I donât lack Pills anymore!â
Cai Xiangxiang didnât want to owe this man too much, fearing that he might harbor too many thoughts, making it feel as though she owed him something in this regard!
âCai Xiangxiang, these kinds of low-level elixirs are of no use to us, but the people in your village and your family could use them.
Donât be shy about it.
Arenât we friends after all?â
How could Ye Qiu easily give up?
He first approached her family with this ulterior motiveâappealing with gestures of care.
Over time, even a heart of stone could soften!
âActually, itâs useful.
Ye Qiu, you could sell them in some shops.
I donât need these Pills anymore.
Iâll refine whatâs needed for my family.â
Cai Xiangxiangâs firm rejection left Ye Qiu in an awkward spot, but he still thickened his skin and handed the Pills over to Cai Xiangxiangâs relatives!
Cai Xiangxiang watched her relatives accept them, feeling rather helpless.
However, there was little she could do, nor was it in her nature to criticize them face-to-face!
To benefit from anotherâs kindness and then reprimand them in wordsâit wasnât something she could bring herself to do!
Cai Xiangxiang had no choice but to tell Ye Qiu that she needed to retreat into seclusion for Cultivation!
Although Ye Qiu was reluctant, he couldnât stop her.
A Cultivator claiming they needed to Cultivateâif he became pushy, it might only cause her to dislike him!
Though his heart was somewhat unwilling, he could only nod in agreement!
Ye Qiu decided to remain in the village.
Staying here served a purposeâhe planned to start with Cai Xiangxiangâs family, and thus he began helping the villagers, guiding them in their path of Cultivation!
No effort was in vainâhow else could this circle flourish?
Shouldnât children start learning Cultivation as early as possible?
Even elderly folks, desiring longevity, had joined in.
Many had never attended school, so for children to elders, just holding a Secret Manual but being unable to read it was troublesome!
They could only rely on oral instruction from others to memorize Cultivation spells.
For some doubters whose understanding was inadequate, continuous guidance was necessary!
Even if they managed to memorize the spells, someone still needed to teach and explain how to Cultivate properly.
In the village, those who had progressed in their Cultivation would establish learning halls to explain terms to those with less advanced abilities!
These classes were usually taught by Yan Weiwei and Cai Xiangxiang, the two most advanced in cultivation, who carved out daily time to instruct others!
Yan Weiweiâs family had started Cultivating earlier, but they were still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and thus much of the nuanced knowledge of Cultivation was still necessary for them to learn!
It was challenging to ask them to serve as teaching leads!
During the months when Yan Weiwei and Cai Xiangxiang werenât around, it was up to these family members to instruct the villagers and help them memorize the Cultivation spells!
Allowing them to teach others was, in a way, reinforcing their understanding of what had been passed down to them by former teachersâessentially repeating those lessons to deepen their grasp!
With the return of Yan Weiwei and Cai Xiangxiang, guidance for cultivating resumed, though their time was still limited.
When Ye Qiu came to help at the learning hall, no one turned him down!
Ordinary folk living in the village included relatives from other areas in addition to the villagers themselves!
The castle was sealed off, but it had abundant land, where every household could grow some crops.
The fields yielded enough grain, vegetables, and fruits for sustainable living!
The Array enclosing the area made the Spiritual Energy here unusually rich.
While bitter, freezing snow engulfed the outside world, leaving ordinary people unable to cope, inside the castle it was as if spring prevailed all year round.
It was possible to grow crops, vegetables, and fruits across all seasons!
As for meat, Jiang Tang had previously stocked the village with plenty of provisions.
Every household had granaries, and in addition, they distributed Storage Bags filled with grain and meatsâthese were originally meant to sustain the villageâs elderly and middle-aged for a few years!
Unexpectedly, they left and did not return, making those supplies the villagersâ current source of support.
The residents of Cai Family Village were well aware that the Saint Master had gone missingâthey didnât know when theyâd be taken away either, so they rationed dishes sparingly.
Eating meat was a rarity, limited to occasional meals.
Yet compared to their old days, this was already a considerable improvement!
The fruits and vegetables they now consumed were imbued with Spiritual Energy, nourishing their bodies with a continual uptake of Spiritual Energy.
This, alongside daily Cultivation exercises, had brought them to the threshold of stepping into Cultivation itself.
Beyond attending classes and Cultivating, villagers would also farm, leveraging every advantageous condition available.
With plentiful fruits and vegetables, they achieved self-sufficiency!
Ye Qiu used his lectures as a pretense to stay, comfortably fitting the role of a Golden Core Cultivator guiding those just starting down the path of Cultivation!
His explanations of his own Cultivation experience were undeniably beneficial to others!
He put genuine effort in, earning gratitude and respect.
People couldnât help but feel a certain warmth toward him.
Ye Qiu sought to integrate himself into this community.
By teaching for two hours daily, he justified his continued stay.
The deeper reasoning, however, was that living in the village allowed him opportunities to see Cai Xiangxiang!
Staying in someoneâs household meant there were occasional chances to encounter her!
Ye Qiu didnât care how lively the outside world was, or what was happening beyond the villageâs boundaries.
His current goal was clear: to win over the woman he loved!
For many Daoist couples among Clan Descendants like him, alliances were arranged marriages.
Yet, there were exceptionsâthey could sometimes choose partners they truly loved, progressing together in their Cultivation journey!
Lin Dandan, aside from coming out to eat whenever food was delivered, spent the rest of her time in Cultivation!
For those who were pregnant, Cultivation was beneficialânot just to the mother but also to the baby in her womb, as it too could absorb Spiritual Energy!
