Chapter 50 Bamboo House Completed
"Look, there is light in their eyes."

Lin Qingshan was very happy to see the effect of the old teaching the new gradually emerge.

"It's not enough, but you're doing good."

Seeing the six hundred new mortals gradually taking on the appearance of human beings, Fang Chen was happy for them from the bottom of his heart and also praised Lin Qingshan.

In terms of management, he indeed did much better than I did.

"The work was stopped for so long this afternoon, but the number of floors of the bamboo building still needs to be increased. Will it affect the progress?"

At the same time, Fang Chen also expressed his concerns, and was afraid that Lin Qingshan would misunderstand his thoughts, so he explained: "I am not blaming you for stopping the work, but if you don't arrange rooms for these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty as soon as possible, they will still have no sense of belonging."

This is a very important thing. Only when they have their own private space can they have private property, which means that they have truly taken root in the Jueling Swamp.

At the beginning, relying on the resounding titles of descendants of the Immortal Dynasty and sons of the Emperor, they were motivated enough to work for more than ten days.

But if you live in the Immortal Palace all the time, this motivation will gradually fade away.

This is human nature. If Fang Chen were in that position, he would have the same reaction.

"That's not a big deal. Although the number of floors has increased, we have already prepared all the materials. Besides, the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty who are in charge of the construction are becoming more and more skilled. It will probably take three or four days longer than the previous plan."

Lin Qingshan had thought about this question a long time ago, so he answered it fluently.

"Then I feel relieved. By the way, since we have dinner early today, why not take this opportunity to educate the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty."

Upon learning that the impact on the construction of the bamboo building was not too great, Fang Chen nodded and then mentioned another matter.

"Education? Do you mean teaching them to read and write? Do you really intend to let them cultivate towards a higher realm?"

Based on these two words alone, Lin Qingshan guessed what Fang Chen was going to do next.

To cultivate to the first level of Qi training, one only needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world and transform it into magic power.

The skills can greatly speed up this process. Fang Chen taught the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty the general outline of the Five Elements Sutra, but he couldn't read the following part to them word for word, so they still had to learn it by themselves.

This requires them to be literate.

Lin Qingshan originally thought that Fang Chen just wanted a group of tenants in the Qi training stage to help him take care of the spiritual fields.

He never doubted that Fang Chen had the ability to open up a sufficient number of spiritual fields. After all, anyone who could create a spiritual land in the Absolute Spirit Swamp definitely had the means to do so.

It is a consensus in the cultivation world that one level of Qi training can take care of five acres of spiritual fields. Improving the cultivation of the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty can indeed bring more benefits to Fang Chen, but the cost-effectiveness is actually not high.

There are plenty of mortals. If Fang Chen plans to open up more spiritual fields, the most cost-effective solution should be to find more mortals and let them enter the Qi training level.

To be honest, the investment in improving the cultivation level of the original group of people is a bit too much. Most of the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty cannot read a single word, so they need to be trained first and then taught the common sense of cultivation. The workload is extremely large.

In fact, when Fang Chen said that everyone could exchange two kinds of magical spiritual vines with their contributions, he suspected that Fang Chen wanted to cultivate these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty.

Although he had said this before, Lin Qingshan did not take it seriously.

It's a thankless job, what's the point?

"Of course, although not everyone can successfully build a foundation, I will give them this opportunity."

Fang Chen did not hide his thoughts at all. As long as he could ensure that his cultivation level was always higher than theirs, he didn't mind his men becoming stronger.

It is also very easy to ensure this. At least half of the cultivation resources produced by the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty will be taken away by him. It is natural that he will break through the realm faster than them.

However, with so many resources, he couldn't use them all for himself, most of them had to be used for foreign trade in exchange for more advanced resources.

"You say that as if you are rich and powerful, but in reality you don't even have any spiritual valley left."

Lin Qingshan looked at Fang Chen deeply. He could feel that the other party was serious. He recalled the previous conversation when they were looking up at the stars. Many words came to his lips, but in the end they turned into a tease.

"People always have to learn to paint a big picture to guide themselves forward."

In response to Lin Qingshan's teasing, Fang Chen smiled knowingly and said jokingly.

After dinner, Fang Chen's instructions on education were quickly carried out. Several groups gathered around a literate teacher and wrote and drew on the ground.

The lord said that they are currently only the weakest immortals. If they want to become stronger and even prolong their lifespan, the first step is to learn to read.

Therefore, they studied very seriously.

Before going to bed at night, most people have learned twenty words, all of which are commonly used for pinyin.

The phonetic notation method in this world is the Fanqie method, which Fang Chen happened to know a little about, so he had no intention of promoting any Pinyin.

That thing is new to people who can already read, it takes time to learn, and in fact it is not fundamentally different from the fanqie method.

Fang Chen planned to first let a few people who could read summarize the characters that were commonly used for pronunciation, and then extract the initial consonants and finals from these characters. This step-by-step approach would make it easier for more people to accept.

Night classes became the norm, and even if it rained for a few days, they would continue in the Second Generation Immortal Palace.

Compared with the first batch of descendants of the Immortal Dynasty, the learning progress of the second batch was obviously much slower. Moreover, due to the lack of spiritual roots, although their eyes were no longer numb, they always felt that they were inferior to others.

As a result, work efficiency has also been reduced a lot.

Lin Qingshan promptly reported this issue to Fang Chen.

Of course Fang Chen also discovered this phenomenon. After discussing it with Lin Qingshan, he used his own example of losing his spiritual roots and returning to the immortal path as an inspiration to others.

The effect is unexpectedly good.

Not only did the motivation of the second batch of immigrants from the Immortal Dynasty double, but even the six supervisors of the Sea Demon Gang began to compete for work, asking for overtime every day, wanting to wash away their negative contributions as soon as possible.

Fang Chen was also very surprised by this. After asking them, he found out that it was not easy for them to follow the path of physical cultivation without spiritual roots. Most of the spiritual plants that could strengthen qi and blood had spiritual energy, which was of no use to them.

Only the Demon Cultivator Alliance possesses the Holy Blood Fruit that does not contain spiritual energy, so they, the physical cultivators, have no choice but to work for the Demon Cultivator Alliance.

Dian Chu also told Fang Chen that it was precisely because of this situation that he was instigated by the new brother and wanted to use the soil of the Jueling Swamp to exchange for the resources they needed.

The Blood and Bone Spirit Fruit also contains spiritual energy, but according to Dian Chu, because the energy and blood power it contains is too strong, it is basically difficult to sense the spiritual energy in it unless you hold it in your hand, and you will mistake it for a Holy Blood Fruit.

With everyone's hard work, the one-kilometer-circle land that Fang Chen originally planned has been reclaimed.

However, due to the addition of the second batch of descendants of the Immortal Dynasty, he has changed the plan to a three-mile radius.

It seems to be only 500 meters longer, but the actual area has more than doubled.

More importantly, on the sixth day after the contribution system was implemented, the bamboo house that Fang Chen had been dreaming of was finally built.

　Today's update is still a little later than before, mainly because I went back home to visit other elderly people and chatted about some family matters, so I didn't update on time. It will be back to normal later.

　　Please support me.
