Chapter 444 The God of Religion (2)
Ji Rong nodded and said, "The law of the jungle is the nature of living beings, but beyond this nature, there are also beautiful qualities such as gratitude."
If you two continue to treat all living beings in the world with the same arrogance as before, you will surely be resented by those who are petty and narrow-minded. If a powerful force comes to attack you in the future, I'm afraid no one will come to your aid.
But if you two are as gentle as I was when I gave you the source the second time, I think even if someone wants to challenge you in the future, they will have to consider whether it is worth it for the sake of your good reputation.
"Mountain python, mountain rat, I have taught you this equality and respect once. Even if you don't internalize it, you must at least pretend to. Only then can you live long, understand?"
The boa constrictor and the rat nodded in agreement.
Next, Ji Rong, along with the mountain python and mountain rat, designated habitats for the relocated junior cultivators.
Due to the migration and connection of spiritual veins, the air in the Dongheng Mountain Range near Jiuri Mountain has gradually become filled with some spiritual energy.
Ji Rong pointed to the three hills where vegetation grew wildly due to the spiritual energy they had absorbed and said, "Mountain pythons and mountain rats, if you were to allocate dwellings for these minor cultivators so that they could become self-reliant and grow stronger, how would you allocate them?"
The mountain python and the mountain rat dared not speak. They looked at each other, their eyes darting around, fearing that this was yet another trap set by the sovereign, Lady Ji.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Ji Rong said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, if I asked you to divide it, how would you divide it?"
Xiao Bai thought about what he had seen and heard in the Danxue Mountains and replied, "Although Jiuri Mountain has the most spiritual energy now, the soil is loose and it is not suitable for living."
Apart from Jiuri Mountain, the distribution of spiritual energy is the same in other places.
Xiao Bai thought there was no need to divide them up; they could just choose according to their race. Later, if any tribe performed well, they could be asked to move there once Jiuri Mountain was fully grown.
After Xiaobai finished speaking, Ji Rong did not comment. She turned her head to look at the mountain python and the mountain rat, and patiently asked, "What do you think of Xiaobai's suggestion?"
The mountain python nodded and said, "I think it's good."
Thinking of how the creatures on the ground had fought when they hadn't distributed the grain evenly a while ago, the mountain rat said, "Sir, they are all refugees. If they are put together, they will inevitably... fight. It's better to separate them."
Ji Rong said with relief, "Mountain Rat, you've figured it out. So, what will you do?"
Hearing Ji Rong's praise, the mountain rat became bolder and said, "It's good to let those with higher cultivation levels occupy the good spots, and arrange them in order to prevent them from fighting over territory later."
Ji Rong listened quietly as the mountain rat finished speaking, then said, "I don't think that way. If it were me, I would gather creatures with offspring in the best locations, for they are the key to the growth of the race."
As for the rest of the land, they can choose whichever they like. Once the children are grown, they will be moved to the surrounding mountains.
...
While waiting for Li Ke and Li San, Ji Rong taught the mountain python and mountain rat how to lead the poor young cultivators in their work, and at the same time led them to dredge the withered spiritual veins under the Dongheng Mountains.
The work was real work: clearing the soil, sowing seeds, irrigating the land... By the time Li Ke and Li San returned after completing their studies, more than four hundred junior repairmen had been settled in the Dongheng Mountains.
Ji Rong had the mountain python and mountain rat recount their actions over the past few days to Li Ke and Li San. He then tested them on their abilities and said with satisfaction, "You two should do your jobs well here. Every two months, one of you should be taken back to Bitter Water Lake to report to your sect leader. If you encounter any difficulties, seek his help."
The night in the Dongheng Mountains was quiet. After a busy period, Ji Rong took a break and calculated the days. She thought that the cattle and horses on the head of the Yuanlang River should be working in the fields of Kushui Lake now. She wanted to go back and take a look, so she took the three gods to Kushui Lake.
However, before even entering the area of ​​Bitterwater Lake, they saw the tribesmen of seven tribes sitting far away around the lake on a tributary of the Bitterwater Lake system. Zepeng was leading a group of young cultivators who already knew how to farm, teaching these creatures how to cultivate the land.
A gentle breeze swept across the fields of hope, carrying with it the unique fragrance of the seedlings that intoxicated Ji Rong.
Ji Rong stepped forward and asked, "Ze Peng, is there no room left at Bitter Water Lake? Why are they all being housed here?"
Upon seeing Ji Rong's arrival, Ze Peng immediately put down the items in his hands, bowed to Ji Rong, and said, "Master, these tribes have come to submit with requests and treasures."
However, Senior Dan and Senior Guanshan said that they had heavy blood energy and only wanted to become dependent clansmen, so they were not good cultivators.
After discussing it, we confiscated their gifts and settled them all near these tributaries, so they could learn to be self-reliant.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong exclaimed happily, "Excellent!" She summoned the mountain python and the mountain rat, saying, "Afterwards, you will work along the Bitter Water Lake to build the underground veins. Once you have completed the underground veins of several mountain ranges, the entire continent will be formed."
After giving his instructions, Ji Rong took Xiaobai to the Blood Pill Sect to find Shan Zhongfeng.
In the new Blood Pill Sect, Qing Guanzi was sleeping in his spacious stone cave;
Shan Wuzai is training alchemists from the Blood Pill Sect, teaching them combat techniques;
Shan Zhongfeng sat in the room he had originally built as a pill-making room and wrote letters to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace and the Jade Void Palace, requesting provisions and magical artifacts.
Thanks to Ji Rong's promotion, tribes and individual cultivators now come to join them every few days.
When cultivators come, they should be allocated land and provided with several full meals;
Lately, Shan Zhongfeng has been so eager to split himself into three parts that he hasn't even sat down to properly clean his beloved alchemy furnace.
Twenty of the alchemists under his command were conscripted by Qing Guanzi to serve as patrolmen, roaming the surrounding areas. The rest were led by Shan Wu to maintain order at Bitter Water Lake. In their spare time, they would use the pills they refined to treat the poor newcomers who had come to join them, making them poorer and poorer.
Therefore, when Ji Rong stepped into the room, Shan Zhongfeng jumped three feet high and said excitedly, "Daughter, you've come back just in time, we're almost out of food."
I'm writing to the Jade Void Palace and the Dragon and Phoenix Hall to request provisions. Come quickly and leave your paw print. Once Juejun and my master see your print, they'll be more lenient when distributing the provisions.
Ji Rong did as instructed, leaving her paw print on the document. After Shan Wu and the alchemist took the letter away, she looked at Shan Zhongfeng and smiled, "Father, I heard from Ze Peng that those clansmen came to surrender with treasures. Since we are short of food and supplies, why don't you accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Zhongfeng said seriously, "Daughter, those guys are asking for the right to manage the land themselves, which we cannot give them, and we cannot accept it."
Ji Rong deliberately said, "Why don't we give them a piece of wasteland?"
"What's the difference!" Shan Zhongfeng glared and said, "We might be governing here, while they're raising our flags on the ground and recruiting cultivators outside, and then doing things like selling flesh and blood."
"My dear girl, the treasures they brought are not clean. The blood and gore have stained the spirit crystals so much that their original color is unrecognizable. It's clear that these wealthy tribes are not of good quality."
