Chapter 161 Have they arrived at the place where the gods live?
Seeing everyone getting more and more terrified, Xiao Ying reluctantly explained, "Don't worry, I'm not a monster. If you really want to say it, I'm an immortal cultivator. This is my immortal residence."
"I don't let you go out because I don't want the secrets here to be exposed and cause trouble. But I won't do anything to you, and I certainly won't eat you."
"I know all you want is to have enough food and clothing, and to have no worries about food and clothing. It would be best if you don't get sick and don't get into trouble. Living here can make all of that possible."
This consolation had some effect. Yang Tianli, the leader, felt relieved and became a little bolder.
"Madam is a fairy?"
He also felt that the lady did not look like a monster. What monster would hire people to farm?
"I'm not really a god, I just know some magic."
Xiao Ying's heart moved, and then her whole body shone with light. Her figure slowly rose into the air, her skirt fluttering, as if she was a banished immortal.
The fear in everyone's eyes suddenly turned into awe and excitement. This was magic! The lady was exactly like the immortal they had imagined!
"I've seen a god!"
Someone immediately bent his knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xiao Ying.
The others followed suit and soon knelt on the ground, shouting "Greetings to the gods".
"Everyone, get up."
Xiao Ying didn't expect the effect to be so good. He circulated his spiritual power and slowly descended, and his voice became more ethereal.
"Although I'm not a deity yet, my promise to you remains valid. You can farm here peacefully in the future. When the time is right, you may have the opportunity to leave."
"Ten years later, I will return all your indentures to you. You will then be free to choose whether to stay or leave."
By that time, these people would probably have been reluctant to leave.
"Thank you, God."
"Thank you, God!"
Various voices of gratitude and celebration rang out one after another, and everyone was instantly filled with hope for the future.
Just now they thought they had been captured in a monster's cave, but they didn't expect that the lady was actually a fairy. Although the lady said that she was not a fairy yet, she was indeed like a fairy in their eyes.
Many people were ashamed and angry for suspecting the lady just now. They suspected that the lady was a monster. Not only did the lady not blame them, but she comforted them carefully.
Just based on her magnanimity and patience, I know that the lady is not a bad person.
"Okay, let's talk about these land divisions first."
Xiao Ying waved his hand and led them to the fields.
"There are approximately 140 acres of farmland here. Apart from ten acres of medicinal herbs and ten acres of fruit, the rest can be harvested and planted. You can divide the planting areas and acreage by yourselves when the time comes."
"These medicinal herbs are very precious. I don't need you to plant them, but you must ensure that they grow healthily."
"Also, this season's crops are all ripe. After you harvest them, you can keep enough for yourselves and hand over the rest."
"Starting from next season, the profit will be split 70% to 30%. Before the next season's crops are ready, I will also provide each of you with three pounds of meat for free every month."
"You also need to elect a village chief. The village chief will count all your needs and report to Lingyun every seven days. Lingyun will deliver everything you need."
"Except for not being able to go out, everything else is the same as being outside."
The more everyone listened, the happier they became. The lady was the living Bodhisattva who saved them. Where else could they find such a good thing?
"Don't worry, Madam. We will make every arrangement perfectly and will never let you down!"
Yang Tianli was the first to speak again, and he became the leader of this group.
Xiao Ying nodded in satisfaction: "Well, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
After viewing the spiritual fields, she took everyone to see the row of wooden houses.
"These houses all store farm tools, but their forms and methods of use are different from those outside. I will teach you one by one later."
Using these magical tools to farm saves much more time and effort than farming outside, and each household will be able to cultivate more land.
Half an hour had passed after everything was explained. Everyone was fascinated by the new farm tools and couldn't wait to try them out.
Xiao Ying instructed, "Harvest the rapeseed these few days, dry it, and then press the oil. I have a use for this oil."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yang Tianli and others immediately agreed and asked the women and children to go into the house to pack up, while the men started to work.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied with their performance. Then, one person from each pair of brothers and sisters followed her. She took two of them to see the houses and fields on the other side of the mountain.
Since the crops there are not yet ripe and do not need much care recently, these four people still come here to help on weekdays.
After everyone found work to do, Xiao Ying quickly left the Immortal Residence and when he came back in, he was already at the teaching hall on the top of the mountain.
After the initial panic and fear, Ren Han's four children had calmed down. When Xiao Ying arrived, they were looking at the things in the hall curiously, but did not run around.
"Everyone calmed down?"
Xiao Ying looked at the four people calmly, with a look of relief on his face.
"lady?"
The four of them were startled by her sudden appearance, and the two girls hid behind Ren Han, seeming a little scared.
Ren Han whispered a few words of comfort, then looked at Xiao Ying: "Madam, are you a god?"
He tried his best to hide the panic in his eyes, but how could he escape Xiao Ying's eyes?
"Why don't you think I'm a monster?" Xiao Ying asked with a smile.
Ren Han remained silent, and his panic faded a little.
He shook his head: "I think Madam is a good person, so she should be a fairy, not a monster."
"You're half right." Xiao Ying smiled. "I'm not a monster, but I'm not a god either. I can only be considered a cultivator."
The four children's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were relieved that the lady was not a monster.
But what is a cultivator? Ren Han was confused, and the other three had no idea at all.
Xiao Ying continued, "I chose you because you also have the talent for cultivating immortals. This talent is also called spiritual roots."
The four people's eyes lit up even more. Could they also cultivate immortality? Would they be as powerful as Madam in the future? Could they also suddenly appear and disappear?
"Madam, does cultivating immortality mean becoming a god?" Ren Han couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.
Are there really gods in this world?
"If I cultivate to the highest level, I can become an immortal, but that's too difficult. I'm only at the beginning now."
Becoming an immortal was something Xiao Ying had never dreamed of in her previous life. In the world of immortal cultivation where she was, no one had ascended to become an immortal for at least tens of thousands of years.
It was already very difficult for her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and every step thereafter would be difficult, so she had no idea what a god was like.
"But even if you just get started, you'll experience huge changes. Your lifespan will increase, and you'll be able to learn spells."
As he spoke, a fireball popped out from his fingertips, and then the fireball grew bigger and bigger, illuminating the entire hall red.
The four children were completely stunned, extremely excited and encouraged. They also wanted to become immortals!
