Aldrian returned to the gathered villagers. They were still waiting for him, and the mont they saw his figure appear, they sighed in relief.
"Are you okay, young master?" the village head asked.
Aldrian nodded. "I’m alright. Is that bandit group the only one that harasses the village?"
The village head nodded. "Yes, young master. They are the only ones that always co to the village. I have never heard of any bandit group in nearby villages, so I think they were the only ones in this region."
"I see. Then you don’t have to worry about the bandits anymore," Aldrian said, then looked at the other villagers.
"You don’t have to worry about them anymore, as they will not co to disturb your lives again. You can live more comfortably now. I already took care of them."
The villagers felt glad as their eyes glimred, and one by one, they bowed to him.
"Thank you, young master."
"Thank you, young master, for helping us."
The villagers expressed their gratitude, which made Aldrian smile. "Alright, alright, I get it. Now there is another thing that I need to tell you."
The villagers focused their attention on Aldrian, wondering what he would say.
"As I have already stayed in this place for a few days, I think it is ti for to finally depart and continue my journey," Aldrian said, which made the village head sighed. He knew that sooner or later, this would happen.
In the end, Aldrian had his own business, and he only happened to have circumstances that made him stay in this village for a while. The village head could not help but feel sad that Aldrian would already be leaving the village after all he had done for his family.
Valuk felt the sa way. Although Aldrian had not stayed in their village for long, seeing how happy Ella was beside Aldrian made him feel that it was a pity for him to leave so soon.
He wanted Aldrian to stay longer so that he could give Ella happiness for a much longer ti. But he understood that Aldrian had his own business, so he could not just ask him to stay longer.
"I will ask you sothing. Do you want to be strong?" Aldrian suddenly asked, which made the villagers stunned. They did not fully understand Aldrian’s question.
"Do you want to be strong so that you are not powerless against sothing like those bandits?" Aldrian continued, which made the villagers finally understand.
Their faces showed determination, and many of them gritted their teeth.
"We want to be strong, young master! We don’t want to be powerless and weak!" one of the villagers shouted.
"Yes, we don’t want to feel weak. We want to be able to fight!" another shouted.
One by one, the villagers shouted their determination to beco strong. They did not want the feeling of weakness and humiliation that they had experienced in the past because of various circumstances.
Hearing their determination, Aldrian smiled and nodded.
"I heard all of you. That’s why, before I leave, I will leave sothing to you," Aldrian continued, and suddenly, a scroll appeared in his grasp. He lifted it so all the villagers could see it.
"This is a cultivation technique that I created myself. I will spread this cultivation technique to you so that you can grow stronger and defend yourselves when trouble arises. You will not have to be so powerless like in the past."
"The technique that I created will make you stronger quickly, and it can be cultivated by anyone without exception, no matter their talent. Everyone, as long as they have normal dantian and ridians, can cultivate this."
Hearing that, the villagers were astonished. Aldrian was going to spread a cultivation technique freely? The villagers knew that cultivation techniques were not sothing easily shared.
Although there were so cultivation techniques that were sold to many people, the prices were so high that there was no way any of the villagers here could afford them.
Now Aldrian wanted to spread a cultivation technique, one that could be cultivated by anyone without exception?
"For those who already cultivate using a different cultivation technique, you can change to this cultivation technique directly. You don’t have to worry about your cultivation foundation. This cultivation technique will not destroy your foundation. Once you cultivate it, it will slowly change your current foundation and strengthen it without making you lose your cultivation."
Hearing that, those who had already beco cultivators widened their eyes in shock. They were the ones who knew the basic knowledge of cultivation technique, so they understood how ridiculous it sounded.
They had never heard of a cultivation technique that could be cultivated without destroying the foundation of a previous cultivation technique entirely.
This was the first ti they had heard of such a thing, which made them wonder whether what Aldrian said was true.
There was only one way to prove it.
"Now, please spread the scrolls and gather in the open field. I will guide you until you can cultivate on your own," Aldrian said as he began to hand the scrolls to the villagers.
He teleported a large number of scrolls from his palace to this place and had the villagers take them one by one. Aldrian observed the villagers as they received the scrolls.
Besides allowing the villagers to defend themselves, there was another reason why he spread his cultivation technique here. That was to spread his influence and spread faith in him.
What he gave to the villagers was the sa cultivation technique that he had spread to those who believed in him as a god.
Although this cultivation technique was different from the one he had spread among his troops and was an "inferior" version of it, it was already much greater than most cultivation techniques out there.
With this, these villagers could beco much stronger than many cultivators if they were supported by abundant resources. However, even without abundant resources, this technique was enough to ensure that they would not be entirely powerless.
After the villagers got their shares, they moved to the vast field. Those who had still been hiding in their houses also began to co out to see what had happened. They received their shares of the cultivation technique as well and followed the others to the field.
The children, who were curious, also followed, and that included Ella.
After all the villagers gathered in the field, Aldrian gave them ti to read the cultivation technique.
However, Aldrian facepald when he finally realized that not all of the villagers could read!
In the end, he first needed to transfer the knowledge of how to read directly into their mories, and then guide them step by step.
After all of the villagers could read and had finished reading the first Chapter of the cultivation technique, Aldrian then guided them to cultivate. The children watched from the side as they saw their families cultivate seriously for the first ti.
Aldrian took hours to guide the villagers, and by the ti he was done, the sun had already set. The mont the villagers opened their eyes from ditation, they could feel the changes in their bodies.
Those who had been normal mortals just a few hours ago had already beco cultivators at beginner stage.
The villagers were truly shocked. They felt refreshed and more powerful than ever. Even the elderly could feel the difference, as they felt stronger and looked younger. Black, impure substances seeped out from their skin, exuding a foul stench.
Those who had already been cultivators could also feel the changes within themselves, which left them astonished.
This cultivation technique was truly marvelous. They could feel their old cultivation foundation being overlapped by a new one, and it was much stronger.
They were truly amazed by it.
However, Aldrian was still not done. He then gave each family a thousand peak level energy stones, which could be used for daily living or as cultivation resources. If they used them properly, they could reach the duke stage or even the grand duke stage.
The villagers felt overwheld and quickly kowtowed to Aldrian. They truly felt grateful to him for giving them so much. Aldrian could feel faith energy beginning to flow from the villagers.
After thanking Aldrian, they quickly returned to their hos or went to the nearby river to clean themselves.
Aldrian felt glad that he could help them while also gaining faith energy here.
However, at this mont, Aldrian did not know that this act of helping the villagers would truly change the fate of this village and its people in the future.
----------------------------
Two days later, when the sun had already risen from the eastern horizon, Aldrian stood in front of many villagers as he prepared to leave the village. Ella, who was among the villagers sending him off, looked very sad and on the verge of crying.
Aldrian smiled at her and gently stroked her head.
"Ella, you must grow into a strong woman. You need to grow strong so you can protect Grandpa and so you can fly on your own. Ella wants to fly on her own, right?" he said softly.
Ella nodded and then looked at Aldrian’s face with watery eyes. "Big brother, will we et again?" she asked.
"Big brother will et Ella again if Ella grows stronger," Aldrian replied.
Hearing that, Ella wiped her tears and nodded. "Ella will grow stronger!" she said with full determination, though her tears flowed again.
Aldrian smiled, ruffled her hair, and then looked at Valuk.
"Thank you for taking care of all this ti, Sir Valuk," Aldrian said with a slight bow.
"Please don’t bow to , young master. You have already done so many things for us. I would feel really bad if you bowed to ," Valuk said.
"There is no sha in bowing, and what you did for is much greater than what I gave to you or the village," Aldrian replied.
Valuk sighed, and Aldrian then looked at the village head and his family.
"Thank you for letting stay, Village Head. I hope you and your family live a happy life."
"Thank you, young master, for all the things that you have done for us, for my family, and for this village. We will never forget your kindness," the village head replied.
Aldrian nodded with a smile.
"Then I’m going—" As he was about to depart, he suddenly sensed a group of people entering his domain and approaching the village.
The group was riding horned horses, and they were wearing armor bearing the symbol of the troops of Abrum Town.
Sensing this, Aldrian raised his eyebrows. He wondered why these people were approaching the village.
