Eternal Country Chapter 67

Translator: SumTLMan

In these troubled times, to plunder and strengthen oneself is the emperor's way.

On the premise of strengthening oneself, all arguments for benevolence and righteousness are pure nonsense. Moreover, if the other side has no ability to protect their own villagers. This gives Yi Tianxing no psychological burden for his decision of seizing the other side's villagers. This is the hurdle that all rulers must cross. If there is no population, no villagers, how can his village continue to develop and expand?

Only by constantly growing stronger can they survive in this wild and barbaric era.

Everything else is bulls.h.i.t.

This Yi Tianxing naturally knows this truth very well and is unwilling to bear any suffering. In his heart, he secretly said: The cruellest thing I can do is stand by and watch those people, and villagers die under the claws of monsters and fierce beasts. After their bodies are no longer whole, if I tolerate such things in the future, I will face even more untold dangers.

The path of plunder has never been bright.

In this regard, Huang Chengyuan did not dissuade him from this behaviour.

If he had been in his previous world, he would have definitely stopped this. However, in this new world, his original worldview has been completely been overturned. Only by constantly strengthening himself can he survive here. The stronger the Xuan Huang Village becomes, the greater his chances at survival, and the population is the key to all of this.

With no population, how can they grow and develop?

Robbery, plunder, or even annexation. This is the only way forward.

For example, in the sea, the big fish eat the small fish in order to survive. Why can't their village do the same?

“However, the main question we should be asking is where are these neighbours we've heard about? I fear this needs to be explored carefully. Although most of the valley is made up of gra.s.sland plains, there are also mountains, forests and streams. Today's mountain forests are extremely dense making it difficult to see other villages due to trees and hills obstructing our vision. If there is no way to determine the location of the other party, it may only end up in vain if we were to rush in.”

Huang Chengyuan mused a little.

Their location is near the mouth of the valley while they haven't set foot near the hinterland of the valley. Generally speaking, this valley is almost no different from a plain. It is very expansive with various trees blocking their line of sight. Also, noteworthy is the terrain not being completely flat, so it doesn't make it so easy to find other villages.

If the soldiers were sent out, perhaps all of them would end up buried on the path of exploration.

“Since everyone is in this valley, even if they are at a distance, we should not be too far away from them. We have been too busy with our survival and fighting against the fierce beasts and monsters. So, we haven't paid too much attention to this possibility. However, if we carefully go over their possible positions, we should be able to narrow down and find their positions.” Yi Tianxing said thoughtfully.

Huang Chengyuan pondered for a moment. Then his eyes brightened as he said: “My lord, I may have a way of determining their position.”

“Elder Huang, please speak.” Yi Tianxing said expectantly.

“Since they have a village, they are bound to build fires for the purpose of cooking food. Moreover, if the village defence hasn't been established yet. A fire will be lit during the night in order to drive out some wild animals which come out during the night. This will serve a dual purpose. One for keeping warm and the another for driving away wild animals as they build up their village. This fire must be built in a relatively open position to maximize the line of sight. As long as we pay close attention at night, we should be able to see this fire and smoke. As long as their general direction can be determined, we will naturally be able to find the source.”

Huang Chengyuan spoke his thoughts.

“This is a good way forward. Let's wait until evening and pay attention to see if this method is feasible.” When Yi Tianxing heard his thoughts, he pondered for a moment and nodded as he thought: This is the best plan we can follow for now.

After all, there are no radars, satellites and so on. Every village has an independent gathering place and it's even more impossible for them to make contact at all right now. This makes it extremely difficult to find other villages.

“All right, the plan has been set. Elder Huang let's go to the village square in the center and integrate the Moon Well we've bought. With this Moon Well, not only can moonlight radiate from the square at night, but the well water from the Moon Well can dispel pain and treat the injuries. This will bring great benefit to our villagers. In the future, even if our soldiers are injured, they will be able to heal and recover even faster.”

Yi Tianxing said with a smile.

“It should only be natural for us to first witness such strange happenings with our own eyes.”

Huang Chengyuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

In addition to his residence in the centre, near the vicinity is also a vacant square.

Coming to the clearing, with a flash of light from his hand, the ancient-looking Moon Well appeared in his hand. The only thing is it appearing extremely small and exquisite. He threw it at random, and it immediately grew in mid-air and became three meters in size. As soon as it fell down, this well had naturally connected with the ground.

It's more a pool of water than a well.

The outside was surrounded by a strange kind of snow-white stone as it integrates seamlessly with the ground as if it were formed there naturally.

In the well, there is a layer of transparent white well water. In the water, a dim crescent moon appears. There was faint moonlight radiating from it. Naturally, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi converged and condensed into the well as the tiny crescent moon became rounder. With this rounder crescent moon, it began scattering a trace of moonlight with the well water level gradually rising. As this was all happening, the condensed tiny crescent moon was appearing more solid.

The white halo scattered from the Moon Well was an aura of condensed moonlight. When the rays fall on a body, the original fatigue will naturally be swept away. This is a really wonderful effect.

“This Moon Well is so magical, really an exotic and precious treasure. This moonlight invigorates the spirit, purifies the body, and soothes the mind. Even if one is nervous and anxiety-p.r.o.ne, as long as they sit near it for a while, it will be able to purify the desolation in their heart. Truly a precious treasure, a wonder of Heaven.” Huang Chengyuan's expression was intoxicated as he sighed deeply.

“This is just the Moon Well in its initial form. It is still considered an exotic treasure among the yellow and profound cla.s.s. As long as the order is promoted, the effects will become stronger. At night, this well can directly absorb the moon's rays in the sky and condense more well water even faster. This well water can be used to treat injuries. Now, however, it can only treat the simplest wounds and pains. In the future, however, it will certainly be even more miraculous or even prolong lifespans.”

At the moment when the Moon Well's integrates into the village, Yi Tianxing also realized what wonders it would bring to his village. Once the use of it is promoted to the extreme, it will be amazing enough for people to marvel at. For the present Xuan Huang Village, the effect is too important. The therapeutic effect will give many people who have been seriously injured a chance at survival. One has to know the current state of Xuan Huang Village. All kinds of medicinal herbs are extremely scarce, and even many common herbs are unavailable for the people. If there are injuries, the village now has a way to treat them.

Although doctors Qiu and w.a.n.g have great medical skills. They will certainly have great difficulty in exerting their abilities without medicinal materials.

Only acupuncture can be used as a treatment for now.

With the Moon Well in place, the above worries can be eased temporarily. It can allow the villagers to feel safer in their hearts. Their recognition of Xuan Huang Village has become even stronger.

“What is this? It seems our village head created it. This strange thing is a miracle. There is a small crescent moon in this well. When the light falls on me, I feel so comfortable.” A villager said.

“The pain in my body seems to have eased. This is amazing. The strange thing our village head has brought out is truly extraordinary!” Another villager exclaimed.

“It's so beautiful. This well is really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful well like this before. So beautiful.” A villager admired.

When a villager saw the emergence of this new and strange structure in the square. The other villagers gathered around one after another. They felt a strange comfort when the moonlight from the well shines on their bodies. Each showing their curiosity and joy at this new thing one after another.

“Folks, this well is called the Moon Well. The well water can be used to treat injuries and heal wounds. The moonlight also has an additional benefit of dispelling fatigue. Later, when people are injured in battle, they can come and receive some well water to restore their wounds. However, there isn't much water in the well presently and it isn't easy to give birth to this treasure, so it shouldn't be wasted.”

Yi Tianxing smiled as he said to the villagers around him.

This Moon Well was placed to bring benefits to the villagers.

“Great. Thank you very much village head.”

Many villagers were overjoyed when they heard this.

“This is great, we finally have precious medicine for curing the injured. We finally won't have to watch as the soldiers who defend us pa.s.s away from being unable to endure their injuries. Before, when we had no medicine to cure injuries, my heart ached as they took the blow for me.” When Dr Qiu saw this, his body was shaking from the excitement.

These days watching people get hurt and being unable to bring out medicine to treat their injuries. As a doctor, this feeling of powerlessness was a heart-wrenching and an agonizing torment to his soul.

“Yes, with Moon Well water brought to our soldier's mouths, more of our Xuan Huang Village soldiers will survive after a battle. More of our people will survive. This is a true treasure.” Dr w.a.n.g's hands were also trembling with excitement as a look of joy was plastered on his face.

Yi Tianxing didn't linger, he turned around and went into the Sutra collection Pavilion after his announcement.

Once inside, with a wave of his hand, dozens of cultivation method battle skills appeared directly in front of him.

When they pa.s.s into the white light, these cultivation method cla.s.sics are sorted and categorized first. Those belonging to the Divine Sea Realm level appear on the first floor, and other higher orders go into the higher floors.

On some of the empty white jade bookshelves, there appeared extra copies of cultivation method cla.s.sic “battle skills.” Allowing the collection of books in the Sutra Collection Pavilion to be greatly enriched at once. More kinds of battle skills will give people more choices, giving people a more diverse set of battle skills.

This also caused Xuan Huang Village's foundational heritage to become a little deeper. Sooner or later, just with this Sutra Collection Pavilion alone will it be able to attract a large number of talents for Xuan Huang Village.

“Pa.s.s on the < crushing="" jade="" spear="" method=""> to me.”

After doing all this, Yi Tianxing said decisively.

After his voice fell. A light of inheritance on a white jade bookshelf instantly drilled into Yi Tianxing's head. In his sea of knowledge appeared a white jade book. It impressively reads < crushing="" jade="" spear="" method="">.

This is the best battle skill in the profound cla.s.s.

Cultivators have many paths. One of them is to cultivate martial arts battle skills and understand the true meaning contained behind the martial arts. Naturally, when studied to the extreme, the pract.i.tioner can wield an invincible fighting ability. The other path is to specialize in a Destiny Aperture Magical Power in the body. The individual will use this magic power to unleash all kinds of powerful fighting abilities by changing the nature of Heaven and Earth. There are also other fellow pract.i.tioners along these paths, so walking along a path isn't too big a problem. Only the emphasis of an individual's cultivation is different. In the end, all paths lead to the same destination.

This Crushing Jade Spear Method is the best profound cla.s.s battle skill. In today's world, this is absolutely an extremely rare battle skill. As long as one can succeed in cultivation, one's own capabilities will bound to increase greatly.

As soon as his mind moved, the book opens naturally, and he was immediately immersed in the jade book representing the Crushing Jade Spear Method.

A vivid and moving picture scroll appeared in his mind.
