Sang Jin gave his father one million low-grade spirit stones and copied some martial arts techniques from a secret realm for him, so that they could build a library when the Sang family settled down. Considering that they would need money for their daily lives, she also gave him a silver note worth ten thousand taels.
Seeing that her father's space ring could hold more, she stuffed a box of pills into it, mainly Qi and Blood Pills and Hundred Herb Pills.
Qi and Blood Pills heal injuries. Hundred Herb Pills are perfect for building the soul sea for novice cultivators. The larger the soul sea, the better the talent.
"Boom boom—" The summer thunderstorm came suddenly. Sang Jin and his group were passing through a forest. The trees in the forest blocked the rain, so only a few raindrops fell.
"Everyone, find a place to shelter from the rain quickly." shouted Old Man Sang.
Li Jingyu immediately erected a barrier that could cover a thousand people to keep the rain out.
"Uncle Sang, don't panic. I saw a cave on the left. It should be able to accommodate a thousand people. Let's go and take a look." Li Jingyue flew into the sky on the jade bone umbrella and found a larger cave.
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Yu to lead the way," Zhou Fugui said politely to Li Jingyu. He then called out to the villagers through the loudspeaker, "Don't panic, everyone. Master Yu has set up a barrier for us. Don't go outside. Now let's find a cave to shelter from the rain."
The villagers walking behind also heard Zhou Fugui's words. They were no longer as panicked as before, but walked forward in an orderly manner.
After the two villages officially merged, Old Man Sang became the head of Sang Village. Zhou Fugui was the head of the Zhou family, with Zhou Dahe serving as deputy head. It was because Zhou Dahe's clan members weren't as numerous as Zhou Fugui's.
The villagers followed the statue of Li Jingyu, with children who could not walk being carried on their backs by adults, and the strong supporting the weak.
When he encountered thorns, Mulberry burned them all up with a single fire. He controlled the fire so well that it would not harm other plants.
"Strange! That cave isn't far from us, yet we haven't reached it even after walking for an incense stick of time," Li Jingyu said to Sang Jin. (An incense stick here is equivalent to half an hour in modern times.)
Sang Jin was still in the Qi Refining Stage and hadn't established his foundation yet, so he couldn't fly. Naturally, he couldn't see the cave.
"Take me up there to have a look," said Sang Jin.
Li Jingyu lifted Sang Jin into the air, pointing in the direction of the cave.
The trail was strange, they didn't take the same route twice, but they did go in circles.
"There is a maze here. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Flower Maze." Sang Jin said calmly.
There were no flowers in the maze of flowers. The paths they walked were indeed unique, only the scenery was identical. Then they walked in a circle.
She didn't know which senior had set up this formation. An outsider wouldn't be able to tell anything unusual from above. She only knew about it after reading about it in a book on formations.
"Hearing what you said, there must be a way to break the formation." Li Jingyu asked.
He had seen Xiao Jin's abilities before. Besides being a master of alchemy, she was also a master of formations. It was just that few people in the Eastern Wasteland Continent knew about this.
This was also one of her means of preserving her life. Her mastery of formations had enabled her to create a killing formation in an instant. She could easily kill three Jindan-level cultivators simultaneously.
If her cultivation level were higher, the lethality would definitely increase, and the formation would last longer.
"It will be broken naturally. Follow the direction I point. No matter what happens, ignore it. Don't answer if someone calls you." Sang Jin said.
Li Jingyu nodded to her, knowing that she was speaking to the villagers. He then repeated the rest of her words, using the sound transmission technique to transmit the sound to every villager's ears.
The villagers of Zhoujia Village followed Li Jingyu's instructions and continued to walk behind him. If there were any children who couldn't resist their curiosity, the adults would tell them to close their eyes and carry them on their backs.
Seeing that everyone was united and supporting each other, Clan Leader Zhou felt relieved and stopped looking back. He also followed Li Jingyu forward.
As they were about to exit the flower maze, a strong wind blew towards them. The villagers within the barrier began to lose their balance. Li Jingyu increased the energy of the barrier protecting the villagers.
However, a few villagers were still scratched on the face or arms by the wind blades. Minor skin injuries were not a big deal for the villagers who worked in the fields for a long time.
They soon emerged from the maze. No one was injured or trapped. The most they sustained were minor scratches, which could be cured with simple herbs.
However, Sang Jin still gave each of the two Zhou clan leaders three jars of the best wound ointment. Anyone with a skin wound could go to the clan leader or deputy clan leader to apply the ointment.
"Miss Sang is so kind. She gave us such good ointment." said the villagers.
"That's right. When has a rough guy like me ever used medicine for such a small wound?" said the second villager.
"I don't know who said that Sang Jin was not satisfied with being the village chief. Now he knows the benefits of following the Sang family." said the third villager.
"Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me. How dare I say anything bad about the Sang family?" said the fourth villager.
"Okay, it's enough to know that the Sang family is doing well. It suddenly rained heavily. If it weren't for Master Lu, we would have been soaked. Those who are weak can easily catch a cold. Master Lu stayed to help us for the sake of the Sang family. We must learn to be grateful. Don't learn from some people who go to the Sang family and snatch porridge from the few-year-old children." The third villager said.
"Who are you talking about? Who stole the porridge from the child? He didn't get to drink it, did he?" Chen Caiying said. Since she didn't drink it, it couldn't be said that she stole it.
"Good! This is a good idea, Village Chief."
"Whoever speaks to me is the one I'm talking to."
"You...I won't argue with you." Chen Caiying said.
"I won't argue with you." The woman imitated Chen Caiying's tone and said the same words, causing the other women around to laugh.
"Hahaha……"
See, she knew that Fang was such a big mouth. She was going to tell everyone about it. The whole village would know about it. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
Chen Caiying quickly moved away from the group of women. It would be better for her to go with her eldest son and his wife.
"Okay, we're here. This cave is big. Don't crowd. Let's go in one by one to take shelter from the rain. Master Lu is tired from helping us set up the barrier. Let him have a good rest." Father Sang shouted loudly.
Only after all the people from Zhoujia Village had entered the cave did Li Jingyu remove the protective barrier and stay by Sang Jin's side.
The Sang family's two horse-drawn carriages were also pulled into the cave. Twelve oxen followed suit. It was quite normal for Zhoujia Village to have so many ox-drawn carts. After all, in the years before the drought, Zhoujia Village had fared relatively well. There were also quite a few villagers in the Qi Refining Stage.
