While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
"Okay, I'll go make the arrangements now. Comrade Jian can rest here for a while." After saying that, the soldier hurriedly left.
"Xiao Ning, you don't need to watch the loading. Go back and eat something now. We'll leave in a bit." After saying that, Xiao Lingfeng quickly walked out.
I don't know how much supplies they've prepared here. He can fit some in his storage space, and the helicopter can't actually hold much, but he still has to load some as a token. Time is of the essence, and there's no time to waste.
Watching Xiao Lingfeng's hurried departure, Jian Ning sighed. If only she could go back to the cultivation world, instead of constantly worrying about things here.
I wonder if there are any connecting passages in this world, or if we could go into the heavens and find our way back.
Without external help, she would need to cultivate to the Mahayana stage to have that ability, which would be many years from now.
Go back inside and close the door, then take this opportunity to go in and check on Xiao Wuyu.
After taking the pills, both he and Da Bai recovered quite quickly. Now, sitting in their wheelchairs under the treehouse, they looked at the village not far away, where they could see the villagers busily working inside and outside.
Upon seeing Jian Ning approach, a smile appeared on his face.
"Since the villagers learned that they could move away from here to live in a better place, they have been very excited, although they are a little reluctant to leave."
The place is almost tidied up inside and out. Are you planning to move them out now?
"That's fine, but once we're out, we'll need Brother Xiao and the village chief to keep the villagers in check."
There are some rules that must be followed in my immortal abode. Jian Ning felt that there were some things she needed to say in advance.
"Of course, no problem. These villagers are actually quite simple and honest."
I've already thought it all out. Once I reach the Immortal Abode, I'll establish a sect.
By assigning suitable people to various positions and managing them layer by layer, the villagers will gradually learn the rules, and there will also be a circulating currency.
Although there aren't many people here now, other outsiders might come to your immortal abode in the future. With established rules and regulations, things will be much better then.”
Jian Ning glanced at Xiao Wuyu, wondering why he thought the Immortal Abode would accommodate more people in the future. But she didn't ask.
She lets these people go out to live, as long as they don't cause her trouble, it's fine.
Moreover, the immortal abode does indeed need some people to cultivate spiritual herbs and plant spiritual grains.
I was busy cultivating all day, and there were also many other miscellaneous things to do, so I didn't have time to manage these things every day.
Moreover, the circulation of currency that Xiao Wuyu mentioned is indeed possible. Printing circulating currency wouldn't be difficult for her; it would be a matter of minutes.
This place will be her small living base from now on.
"Brother Xiao, you'll have to work harder from now on. There are still a lot of trivial matters to deal with after they move out. I'll have to trouble you to take care of them."
“I know that, Jian Ning. The villagers are very grateful to be able to move out of here this time, and they will definitely behave themselves well. Just tell us your conditions. We will definitely abide by them.”
Xiao Wuyu was quite confident in Jian Ning's character and figured she wouldn't propose any unreasonable conditions.
"Okay, I'll write you a charter now."
Jian Ning's thinking was quite simple: when people gather together, conflicts are bound to occur.
Her first rule was that no one was allowed to hurt anyone inside the immortal abode.
It is absolutely forbidden to cause someone's death, and of course, promiscuity is also prohibited.
One must not harbor greed or covetous thoughts. Gambling in groups is prohibited. And so on and so forth; I wrote down a little bit each time I thought of something, and soon I had written over fifty items.
He picked it up and handed it to Xiao Wuyu.
"These are just my thoughts for now. In reality, as long as they don't do anything wrong, these rules are practically meaningless to them."
However, anyone who violates these terms will be punished with thirty to fifty strokes of the cane for minor offenses, and expelled for serious ones. You have no objections, right?
"No, I'll carve these rules onto a stone tablet later so that the villagers can recite them every day and keep them firmly in mind."
Xiao Wuyu took it and glanced at it. He felt that Jian Ning's requests were all reasonable and immediately agreed.
"That's not necessary. Of course, there will be both punishments and rewards. We'll discuss what the rewards will be. As long as they behave themselves and work hard, they can still live happily here."
Xiao Wuyu nodded in agreement and used telepathy to summon the village chief. He instructed the chief to gather all the villagers together and begin the relocation immediately.
The villagers were quite excited, carrying large and small bags and things out of their homes, and even herding their livestock out as well.
Even a ruined home is worth a fortune; who knows if they'll even sell these things in this new place?
Even if they had them, they wouldn't have the money to buy them. It's better to bring them with them when they move now, so they won't be caught off guard when they need them.
Once everyone had gathered, Jian Ning had them all close their eyes. Then, with a thought, almost instantly, everyone was transported to the sect of the Immortal Abode.
"You can open your eyes now. This will be your home from now on, but the specific housing allocation will still depend on the village chief's arrangements." Jian Ning snapped her fingers, signaling them to open their eyes.
"Oh my god! This must be where the immortals live! There are even cranes over there. Could the Queen Mother of the West live here too?" These people, ever since birth...
I've never seen such a beautiful place before. Almost the moment I opened my eyes, I rubbed them in disbelief, afraid that it was an illusion that would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"This is the Xuanming Sect. Brother Xiao, you can change it to a name you like." Jian Ning ignored the villagers' joyful shouts and looked at the plaque above the door, speaking to Xiao Wuyu.
"No need to change it. This name is fine. Since we'll be living here from now on, we're essentially disciples of the Xuanming Sect. This place is beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, and the spiritual energy is abundant. I really like it."
"Since Brother Xiao thinks it's acceptable, then there's no need to change it."
"Those are all houses where you can stay. You can allocate them as you see fit. I've already put a lot of food in the kitchen. I'll call Huang Fugui over later to teach the villagers how to take care of the spirit fields."
Jian Ning was still concerned about whether the supplies outside had been packed up, so she didn't linger here for too long. After giving all the instructions, she came out of the immortal mansion, put on her outer clothes, and walked out the door.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw a helicopter parked not far away.
More than a dozen soldiers were busily carrying boxes of supplies up the hill. Just as she reached them, Xiao Lingfeng turned back, smiled, and asked, "It's so cold, what are you doing out here?"
