Lin Qing got straight to the point.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Nianqing smiled slightly and said, "Mom, this is easy to handle, and there are two solutions. The first is that I can adjust the formation slightly so that the villagers can find a seemingly ordinary mountain path, but in fact, that path will lead to the outer edge of the orchard. They can pick the fruit on the outer edge, while the fruit in the core area will not be easily discovered."

"I see. But won't this affect the fruit in the core area?" Lin Qing asked with some concern.

"No, I can set up a mountain path so that the villagers can avoid the core area without even realizing it. I can also control their picking area and prevent them from going deep into the core area. As for the fruit trees on the periphery, I can adjust them every year to gradually reduce them until they disappear."

Gu Nianqing explained in detail.

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good. If things continue like this for a few years, the villagers will completely abandon this place."

"Mom, don't you want to know the second option?"

Seeing that Lin Qing had tacitly agreed with her method, Gu Nianqing couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, there's a second option. What is the second option?"

After hearing Gu Nianqing's question, Lin Qing remembered that he had mentioned two solutions, so she asked curiously.

"The second option is that I will set up an illusion array where all the fruit trees have been cut down, connect it to the previous array, and then guide the villagers into the illusion array. This way, the villagers will see with their own eyes that all the fruit trees have been cut down, and they will stop thinking about it."

Gu Nianqing said smugly.

"This is a good idea, it solves the problem once and for all, let's do it this way."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing slapped her thigh and cheered. This brat was misleading her; he clearly had a better way but didn't say it first.

"If only there were a way to keep the villagers from coming near our mountain."

Lin Qing suddenly looked at Gu Nianqing with an expectant expression and said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Is there really a way?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly asked, "What method? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing this, Gu Nianqing said smugly, "When I set up the illusion, I can add some hints to let the villagers who approach this place know that there are ferocious beasts on this mountain and that they should not go up. In this way, every time the villagers come here, they will receive such hints, and over time they will develop a fear of this mountain and naturally keep their distance."

Lin Qing's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but murmur, "This cultivation is truly amazing!"

"Okay, Mom, I'll go to school this afternoon to ask for leave, and then I'll go to Xiaotangshan. I need to get myself ready as soon as possible to avoid any other problems."

Gu Nianqing made the suggestion.

Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this. "Okay, then go ahead and be careful on the road. Do you need me to find someone to go with you?" Lin Qing instructed.

Gu Nianqing shook her head. "No need, I'll just drive your hovercar!"

After Gu Nianqing finished speaking, she left the room and rode her bicycle out.

As Lin Qing watched Gu Nianqing's departing figure, her heart was suddenly filled with gratitude.

This son is even more capable than me, which makes me, as his mother, both gratified and regretful. But thankfully, I still have a few younger children to worry about. If they were all like Nianqing, I would feel so unfulfilled.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Gu Shulan again. Although the child had become a little more lively than before thanks to her, Gu Nanxun, and Gu Nianqing's guidance, she was still the one who made her heart ache the most compared to the other children.

...

Gu Nianqing first rode her bicycle to school to ask her teacher for leave, then rode the bicycle to a deserted place and took it into her spatial dimension.

Then, they switched to a hovercar in the space, affixed an invisibility talisman, and drove directly towards Xiaotangshan.

Upon arriving at the back of Xiaotangshan Mountain, Gu Nianqing located the spot where she had previously set up the formation and began adjusting it. After some effort, the runes within the formation began to glow, indicating that the formation was finally ready.

After adjusting the formation, Gu Nianqing did not go home immediately, but returned to the space. He found Duobao, touched the sleeping Duobao a few times, and then began to cultivate beside Duobao.

For some reason, after the formation was adjusted this time, he suddenly had a slight enlightenment, and the merit power on his body also increased.

He did some quick calculations, but the area ahead was shrouded in fog, and he couldn't see anything. Helpless, he had no choice but to give up.

...

After school, Lin Qing returned home but didn't see Gu Nianqing, so she went into her spatial dimension to check on her, worried.

As soon as Lin Qing entered the space, she scanned it and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Nianqing sitting next to Duobao, cultivating.

That evening, after Gu Nanxun returned, the two had dinner and went into the space, where Gu Nianqing woke up from her meditation.

"How is it? Is the formation set up?"

Seeing Gu Nianqing come in from outside, Lin Qing asked.

"Setup complete!"

Gu Nianqing said with a smile.

"Why did you suddenly go to cultivate? I came back this afternoon and didn't see you. I thought something had happened to you! It gave me a fright."

Lin Qing got a meal for Gu Nianqing, handed it to him, and then asked him.

"After setting up the formation this afternoon, I suddenly had some insights, so I went to cultivate. Did I make Mom worry?"

Gu Nianqing reached out and hugged Lin Qing, then smiled and comforted her.

"That's good, go ahead and eat!"

Hearing Gu Nianqing say that he was fine, Lin Qing stopped asking questions and urged him to eat quickly.

"What happened? What kind of formation did Nianqing go to set up?"

After listening to their conversation, Gu Nanxun asked in confusion.

So Lin Qing told Gu Nanxun about what she and Gu Nianqing had discussed at noon.

Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, let's just buy a few robots to pick fruit!"

Lin Qing nodded, "Alright, that place is indeed inconvenient for others to enter. But at this rate, when will we be able to open a cultivation dimension?"

"Then let's not open it. Anyway, we can't cultivate immortality now. Even if we open it, we can't use the items there, and the increase in lifespan is limited. Once this batch of dragon scale fruits ripens, that will be enough."

Hearing Lin Qing's sentiments, Gu Nanxun smiled and patted her head.

"You're right. Instead of saving up points and not daring to buy anything while waiting for the cultivation world to open, we should spend our points on things that will help us!"

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing suddenly understood. She remembered that the reason she was so determined to open the cultivation world was not actually to cultivate immortality, but to help her brother Nanxun heal his leg. But now her brother Nanxun's leg was long gone, and she no longer had any other obsession with the cultivation world.
