When they heard it was the village chief looking for them, everyone dropped what they were doing and went to look for him under the large apricot tree in the village. This conspicuous apricot tree was the easiest landmark to find in the entire village.
At this moment, Sang Jin had just finished drawing a small teleportation array. Due to her improved cultivation, the array she had drawn today beneath the apricot tree only required three low-grade spirit stones to activate, capable of transporting up to ten people at a time and carrying 1,500 kilograms of objects.
For the convenience of the villagers, she also planned to draw a similar teleportation array outside the city gate of Munan Prefecture. This way, it would be much more convenient to travel back and forth.
"What is that? Twinkling stars?"
"I said, didn't you listen carefully in class? Master Mu said that it was a space teleportation array."
"Our village's little lucky star can also draw formations?"
“…”
"Well, I see everyone is here. Now let me first talk about the main events of today.
First, our village has a teleportation array beneath the apricot tree that can transport ten people at once to the gates of Munan Prefecture. The exit is near the Forbidden Water Lake we came from earlier. Later, our Sang family will also construct another teleportation array like this near the Forbidden Water Lake. Each time, we'll only need three low-grade spirit stones to return to the village.
"Ah, I need more spirit stones."
"Where do we get spirit stones? We only get two a month. It's not even enough for me to practice."
“…”
"Everyone, listen to me first. As for these spirit stones, there will be ways to obtain them later. Don't worry. The second thing is to give each household one tael of silver and fifty kilograms of rice. There will also be a set of farm tools. These are subsidies given to us by Lord Wu. After the meeting, you can collect them from my two sons, Sangmu and Sanghuo, in the square."
"This is good. My hoe is dull. I don't have the money to buy a new one."
"Although this food isn't much, it's better than nothing. If we eat sparingly, we can get through the winter."
"I think the mountain behind our village is full of spiritual energy. I can go up there and pick some spiritual herbs and sell them. Then I won't have to worry about money and food."
"Everyone says that Munan Prefecture is rich, and it's true. The county magistrate not only exempted us from taxes but also gave us silver and food. That's great. It's worth all the hardships I've endured along the way."
"But the village chief said that there will be a way to obtain this spirit stone in the future. Is there any other way to obtain it?"
"If I were to walk to the city, it would take two days and two nights. I don't want to walk."
“…”
Every time Old Man Sang finished speaking, everyone would start discussing it. With over a thousand people crammed together, the noise was quite loud. This was especially true given that the children from the various households were not present.
"Let me talk about the third thing today. After distributing the government subsidies this morning, our Sang family will go to the city this afternoon. If you're too lazy to go, anyone who needs to bring anything can register with Master Mu, and we'll bring it back for you."
"Considering that the space teleportation array requires spirit stones to activate, the Sang family will activate it on the 15th of every month. For those who need to go out for special reasons, the Sang family can bring three people with them for free each time. Similarly, anyone who needs help carrying things should register with Master Mu."
The villagers were so happy to hear this that they almost burst into laughter. While they could walk, the village chief's family brought everyone back to the village for free every month, which saved them a lot of time. If they were really bored, they could also walk to the city.
"The last thing is, the mountain behind us is called Weinan Mountain. There are monsters in these mountains. Everyone, don't go into the deep mountains. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be hard to say. Well, that's about it for today. The villagers can go and collect their subsidies from the government first." After Father Sang finished speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Don't worry, village chief. We won't go any deeper," said the villagers.
After the meeting, the villagers went to the square to collect their things from the two brothers Sangmu and Sanghuo.
"You have to go back and get something to pack the rice. I don't have enough bags here," said Sang Huo.
"I understand. I understand."
Because they said they were going to hold a meeting, but they didn't say what the meeting was for. Many villagers didn't bring furniture that could hold rice.
So everyone first received the farm tools and silver, and then went home to get things to store rice.
After a busy morning, they finally finished distributing the items. When Sang Mu returned home, Sang Jin and the others had already cleaned the house. Looking at the clean yard, his wife and children, Sang Mu immediately became energetic.
"Dad, you're back. Mom has cooked delicious food for us. And the wasteland behind the yard has been reclaimed. Vegetables have been planted there." Sang Jin said.
"Shufen, thank you for your hard work. These things should have been done by me." Sang Mu felt a little guilty.
His wife had only been out of confinement for a few months and was at her weakest. She had been traveling all the time during her confinement. The bumpy journey hadn't given her a good rest.
"Whatever you need to do, this is our family's business. I can still do this little bit of work." Zi Shufen has the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining. Although she looks like an ordinary person, her body is much stronger than that of an ordinary person.
"Dad, when I grow up, I can help Mom do more things." Sang Yu said from the side.
"Brother, you should learn to read with Master Mu first."
"Then why don't you learn to read with Master Mu?"
"Brother, have you forgotten? I can read. Xiao Jin's master taught me everything." Sang Jin was telling the truth. Her master taught her everything, both literary and martial.
"You..." Sang Yu was speechless. His little sister was truly amazing. Sometimes he felt like he was the younger brother and she was the older sister.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. We have to go to the city in the afternoon. Mom, do you want to go?" Sang Jin asked.
"You go with your brother. I'll stay home to sort these things. I won't go." Zi Shufen knew her daughter's abilities well, and there was no danger in going to the city, so she wasn't worried at all.
"You can ask Master Lu to go with you. I'll feel more at ease knowing there's a master around." Sang Mu said.
"Dad, you forgot, I have guards. I can just take Mu Yan with me." Mu Yan was the servant of the Mu family that Sang Jin had saved earlier. He was now a foundation-building cultivator and could fly on a sword.
"Then I want to go with Brother Mu Yan. I don't want to follow the formation. I want to fly in the sky." When Sang Yu heard that Mu Yan wanted to go with him, his eyes were filled with joy. He loved the feeling of flying in the sky.
"Whatever you want." Sang Jin didn't care how he went. As long as he could go, it was fine.
Originally, it would have been much easier for her to get things done without anyone else. But she looked at her adorable little body and figured no one would bother with her no matter what she went shopping for. She had always brought Li Jingyu with her before.
Ever since she accepted the Mu family's followers, she rarely asked Xiuxiu to come together.
"Li Jingyu!" Sang Jin knocked on the Li family's door twice.
