Li Chuan just sat by the riverbank, and gnawed on a He Shou Wu as large as the one in his hand, from top to bottom!
This He Shou Wu wasn't exactly delicious, a bit bitter, but with a slightly sweet aftertaste, though the dicinal aroma was quite strong.
After consuming the entire He Shou Wu, Li Chuan imdiately felt his body start to heat up, as if there was a furnace burning inside him!
A huge surge of dicinal power road throughout his body, his ridians ached as if they were on fire!
This made Li Chuan suddenly beco serious.
"Such a powerful dicinal effect!"
Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged and began to ditate, activating the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, then controlled the dicinal power inside him to constantly impact his ridians.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed, and the effects of He Shou Wu were fully absorbed, refined into threads of True Qi!
"Break!"
With this pure True Qi, it was the perfect ti to break through realms!
This pure True Qi surged in his Dantian like a lock being unshackled, instantly doubling the width of his Dantian ridians!
Originally, in Li Chuan's plan, this He Shou Wu could at most bring him to the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, but unexpectedly, even after reaching the Third Layer, the montum of True Qi was still very strong!
Finally, it went all the way to the Sixth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, and only then did the explosive aura slowly halt!
When Li Chuan slowly opened his eyes, the divine light in them was like two flas in the dark night, returning to normal only after a while!
"Not bad, not bad! Wonderful!"
Li Chuan could feel that every part of his body had been strengthened!
He casually picked up a stone and gently squeezed it!
"Crack!"
The stone turned directly into powder!
Although he could do it before, it was never as effortless as it is now.
The sharp increase in power was definitely a good thing!
Just as Li Chuan stood up to head back to the village committee, it suddenly started pouring rain!
"Hmm? It's raining, I wonder if those two bears can still sll it..."
Li Chuan's plan was to lure the two bears into the yard of Chen Bao and his brothers, a way to kill with a borrowed knife.
Otherwise, if three people in the village died for no reason, it would definitely cause panic, and panic would ruin the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere here.
Might as well let Xiong Da and Xiong Er take the bla.
Back at the village committee, the rain was already heavy.
Li Chuan was soaked through.
Just as he returned to the room to change clothes, Zhou Ruolan walked over with an umbrella: "Dr. Li, where have you gone this afternoon? Sisi asked to bring you dinner."
"Thank you."
Li Chuan accepted the insulated box from Zhou Ruolan's hand, opened it, and found sauerkraut tofu, braised pork, braised river shrimp, and a fish inside.
Li Chuan was indeed hungry at this mont, and just sat by the desk to eat.
Zhou Ruolan sat beside him, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside.
"Teacher Zhou, the villagers' dicinal herb sales channels are settled, why do you still look so worried?" Li Chuan noticed the worried look on Zhou Ruolan's face and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zhou Ruolan: "I want to repair the school, and besides that, rebuild a bridge, and install railings on the river banks downstream."
Li Chuan: "Sure, I agree!"
Taohua Village is great in every way, except the little school is really too rundown, and the tale of the Water Ghost is a bit creepy.
In truth, regarding such things as the Water Ghost, for people today, believing is seeing, not believing is not seeing.
As long as safety asures are done well and safety awareness is improved, the likelihood of drowning will definitely be greatly reduced.
Zhou Ruolan looked troubled: "When I first ca here, I had this notion, but my savings aren't enough, and the town's finances, due to years of infrastructure developnt, are already in deficit, and a remote village like Taohua Village can't be looked after at all."
What Zhou Ruolan said, Li Chuan knew, Taohua Village belongs to Gushan Town, and originally, the town's economy wasn't developed; in the past two years, responding to higher authorities, to build a new type of town, a lot of money was spent improving infrastructure, so there's no money left.
"I wanted to pay for it myself before, but after inquiring with so construction teams, I found that my savings weren't enough, and now if we also want to build a bridge, install railings, it's even more insufficient."
"I just spoke to the village secretary about this matter, wanting the villagers to collectively fund it, but he said I was dreaming."
Zhou Ruolan was quite distressed.
Li Chuan gave Zhou Ruolan a glance, especially those long, slender, delicate legs, he really wanted to carry them on his shoulders and play with them.
"Hey! We're talking about serious business here, what are you looking at!" Zhou Ruolan noticed Li Chuan's gaze, thought of the previous "secret," and her face inexplicably reddened.
Actually, now, in front of Li Chuan, there were no secrets left for Zhou Ruolan; aside from the depths of Taoyuan, everything that should be seen had been seen.
Even so, Li Chuan's unabashed gaze still made her blush and her heart race, thinking of things she shouldn't have.
Li Chuan looked helpless: "Teacher Zhou, you are indeed a bit naive."
"Taohua Village is the poorest village in Jiangzhou City, the villagers here barely make enough to support themselves, and you want them to pay for school repairs and bridge construction?"
"Even though they have found sales channels now, the money isn't even in their pockets yet, and you want it spent already, who would want to do that?"
"You're too impatient."
"Patience is the key."
Zhou Ruolan blushed even more: "Am I really too impatient?"
Li Chuan: "What did the village secretary say to you?"
Zhou Ruolan: "He said, the current school is still usable, just make do, there's no need to rebuild, better to use the money to rent houses in the county and send the kids there to study."
Li Chuan: "Do you think the village secretary is right?"
Zhou Ruolan nodded gently.
Li Chuan shook his head: "I think he's wrong, it's very one-sided. The villagers of Taohua Village aren't ant for life in the county, if they go there, what can they do to support themselves? Work as laborers? On a ager salary, and they'll have to pay rent, utilities, als, and all the school expenses?"
"If they leave Taohua Village, what about the dicinal fields here? Who will tend to them?"
"So, they simply can't go live in the county."
Li Chuan also ca from the countryside, so he understands well.
"It seems I was indeed too hasty." Zhou Ruolan also realized she was too anxious.
Li Chuan: "Actually, letting villagers collectively fund it isn't impossible, just wait for the opportunity, when the ti cos, these obstacles won't be obstacles anymore."
"When will that be?" Zhou Ruolan asked curiously.
