Chapter 202: Chapter 201, Cultivation Level Skyrockets

In the forest.

Angry howls of wolves echoed incessantly.

But Xu Wendong had long since taken the ginseng and was swiftly heading towards Qingshan Village.

Gazing at the palm-sized, snow-white Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng with hair-like roots in his hand, Xu Wendong grinned with a wicked smile.

With this, he could effortlessly step into the Fifth Layer of the Yin-Cultivating Realm.

Of course,

the ginseng’s wonders were far too significant to be that simple.

Thinking of this, he plucked a leaf from the ginseng, placed it on the ground, and pressed it with a stone, leaving a piece every few hundred meters.

By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dusk.

He didn’t go to Zhao Ranran’s house for dinner, instead, he returned to the village committee office, washed the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng clean, and gnawed on it as if it were a carrot.

If someone saw this scene, their jaw would certainly drop, as a fresh ginseng over a hundred years old was incredibly expensive, worth over a million, and could be life-saving when sliced and held in the mouth at critical moments.

Even some wealthy families didn’t have such a treasure, yet Xu Wendong was gnawing on it.

It was simply a waste of a treasured resource.

The taste of the ginseng wasn’t good, crunchy yet overly medicinal, with a hint of earthiness.

However,

a good medicine tastes bitter.

After swallowing the Old Mountain Ginseng, Xu Wendong clearly felt a scorching heat rising from his abdomen, like drinking a cup of fiery liquor in winter.

The terrifying medicinal effect rampaged in his body, causing his expression to instantly grow solemn.

"Damn, I was careless!"

Without further thought, Xu Wendong immediately circulated the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique’s cultivation technique, guiding the medicinal effect to flush through his meridians and flesh.

Vaguely,

he heard the sound of waves coming from within, feeling an excruciating pain shatter his flesh, as if his body had become a leaf torn by someone.

Fortunately, his mental fortitude was extraordinary, and he gritted his teeth to endure this heart-wrenching pain. After roughly two hours, he finally refined the medicinal effect into a dense stream of True Qi, compressing it into the Dantian.

"Break through for me!"

Xu Wendong suddenly opened his eyes, and the True Qi compressed in his Dantian exploded instantly, breaking through the invisible barrier and expanding Xu Wendong’s Dantian.

Xu Wendong had thought that stepping into the Fifth Layer of the Yin-Cultivating Realm would cease the process, but to his surprise, even upon entering the Fifth Layer, the True Qi remained unstoppable.

"Could it be that I can step into the Sixth Layer of the Yin-Cultivating Realm?" Xu Wendong was elated, and immediately steadied his mind, controlled the terrifying True Qi, and continued to break through.

Until he stepped into the Seventh Level of the Yin-Cultivating Realm, his aura finally settled down, with piercing brilliance reflected in his eyes.

"A happy surprise, truly a happy surprise."

"Who would have thought that a single Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng could push me into the Seventh Level of the Yin-Cultivating Realm."

"Absolutely amazing!"

Just then,

Su Li’s voice rang out from outside: "Sister Zhao asked me to bring you some food."

"Coming!" Xu Wendong got up and opened the door. Su Li was holding a bamboo basket, inside of which was a bowl of stir-fried peppers with beef, a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and four buns.

Additionally, there was a greasy pickled goose egg, which Xu Wendong loved.

On the stone table under the sycamore tree,

Xu Wendong devoured the food while Su Li was lost in thought.

"Didn’t we sell tens of thousands of catties of persimmons again today? That’s a good thing, why are you frowning?" Xu Wendong noticed the worry on Su Li’s face and curiously asked.

Su Li snapped back: "I want to build a road!"

Xu Wendong said: "That’s a good thing, I’m all for it!"

Qingshan Village was great in every way, except for the inconvenient transportation. If a smooth asphalt road were built, it would become a paradise.

Su Li sighed helplessly, "When I came to Qingshan Village to work, I thought about building a road. But the county’s finances are tight, and there wasn’t any extra budget for us."

Xu Wendong remained silent; Qingyuan was just a small county town, currently at a stage where everything was under construction, making it indeed impossible to allocate a sizable budget for road construction in Qingshan Village.

"I previously thought about getting villagers to fund the road construction collectively, but the idea was rejected outright." Su Li was dejected, feeling that the image as the newly elected village head she had just built was now falling apart again.

Xu Wendong looked her over, especially at her abundant figure, which seemed to call out to be admired.

"What are you looking at?" Su Li’s face turned red.

Honestly, she had no secrets in front of Xu Wendong; he had seen her body and even helped wipe her down with a towel.

Yet, as he stared at her, Su Li’s heart beat faster, her thoughts wandering.

Xu Wendong said helplessly, "Hey, big sister, your chest isn’t small either, so why don’t you use your brain when speaking?"

"You’ve just helped Sister Ranran find a sales channel and sold tens of thousands of catties of persimmons. Although this has given you some authority, it isn’t much."

"After all, you haven’t led the villagers to a stage of poverty alleviation and prosperity, and now you’re thinking of emptying their pockets before they even get to fill them?"

"At the least, let them feel some warmth first, right?"

"You are being too hasty."

Su Li felt ashamed and muttered, "Is that so?"

While eating, Xu Wendong asked, "Tell me, how did the villagers reject you when you proposed building the road?"

Su Li said, "They just said the current roads are usable, so there’s no need to spend so much money on a new one, and that with such funds, one might as well buy a house in the county."

Xu Wendong: "Do you think what they said makes sense?"

Su Li nodded.

"Nonsense!" Xu Wendong sneered, "They’re just putting you off. Although buying a house in the city seems good, rural folks simply can’t adapt to the city environment, and the skyscrapers are nothing but cages to them."

"To exaggerate a bit, even if city apartments were given to them for free, they wouldn’t live there."

As a child who grew up in a rural area, Xu Wendong understood the mindset of rural people.

"It’s my lack of understanding of the villagers’ mindset; it’s my fault for being too hasty." Su Li realized it was too early to propose the road construction plan.

Xu Wendong continued eating, "Actually, getting villagers to invest in road construction is possible, but it requires the right timing. Once the time is right, everything will fall into place."

"And when will the time be ripe?" Su Li instinctively asked, not knowing why, but Xu Wendong seemed to be someone she could rely on.

Xu Wendong grinned, "Timing is something you create. You might mention in the group chat the benefits of road construction and the drawbacks of poor transportation."

"For example, if someone were seriously injured, barely holding on to life, and died halfway on the way to the hospital."

Su Li nodded slightly, "What you’re saying is true. It might be worth a try."

"Alright, I’ve eaten my fill and will be going to take a bath. Would you mind cleaning up here!" Xu Wendong said as he left the village committee office. He intended to assist Su Li.

And incidentally, deal with the Wang Family Brothers!
