I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 602: Chapter 3: Li Chungang

Li Xi stayed on Bronze Island for about a month.

During this time, she was diligently researching suitable new materials, as if completely unaware of Xiang Yao’s presence.

Even though Xuansi Gu deliberately left Bronze Island to create an opportunity for this father and daughter to meet, she never ventured into the depths of the island.

"You really should go see him; he’s been waiting for you."

With a gentle breeze, a boy who appeared four or five years older than Li Xi materialized out of thin air.

The boy’s name was Li Chungang, the youngest son of Li Chengfeng.

Although only sixteen this year, he was already well-versed in the "Five Elements Escape Technique" and "Divine Control Technique."

Li Chungang’s next step was to go beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, to sign contracts with the external Gods to acquire their powers.

After all, nowadays, most of the Hundred Lands Gods had already turned to practicing the Celestial Human Technique, and they do not covet the little Primordial Qi in Li Chungang’s body or his cultivation method.

Therefore, unless the Gods willingly agree, the "Divine Control Technique" is really hard to restrain them.

Moreover, those Hundred Lands Gods who have truly succeeded in their cultivation are now serving as teachers and sparring partners at the Hundred Lands School.

As a junior who grew up under their watch, Li Chungang simply couldn’t bring himself to shamelessly seek contracts with his elders.

"Gang Ge? Aren’t you leaving yet?"

Pretending to be surprised, Li Xi glanced up at Li Chungang, her words instantly leaving him speechless.

"You silly girl, if I weren’t worried about you, I’d already be in Qingqiu by now."

"You’ve been here almost a month, haven’t you decided whether you want to see your biological father?"

Walking straight up to Li Xi, Li Chungang resolutely flicked her forehead.

Only when he saw her feigned pitiful expression did he sit down cross-legged and ask helplessly.

"I just don’t understand, what is there to hesitate about?"

"If you didn’t want to see him, you shouldn’t have come in the first place, making Auntie worry for nothing."

"If you do want to see him, it’s been a month, what else can’t you figure out?"

"Are you planning to go behind your brother’s back and secretly let him out?"

Hearing this, Li Xi unconsciously lowered her head to glance at the "Xiangliu Talisman" around her neck.

Since obtaining this talisman, Li Xi’s control over her abilities had become increasingly skilled, and by now, she could fully master the inherent power.

So despite never having met Xiang Yao, Li Xi wasn’t unfamiliar with him.

"He’s not a good person, but he’s very good to me..."

Flashbacks of those scenes glimpsed through "Destiny Communication" involuntarily crossed her mind, and Li Xi murmured softly.

In some sense, Li Xi’s understanding of Xiang Yao might exceed his own.

Because what "Destiny Communication" reveals is not just the past, but countless possibilities of the future.

However, in any of those possibilities, Xiang Yao’s affection for Li Xi is genuine, the only difference is in how he expresses it.

"Tsk, I knew you were struggling with this."

As a knowing look flickered in his eyes, Li Chungang sighed deeply.

"Whether he’s good or bad, what does it matter to you?"

"It’s just because you were born in this new era that you keep getting tangled in these messy matters."

"Back a dozen years ago, people were struggling to eat, doing anything just to survive."

Though Li Chungang grew up in this new era, he still remembered the impoverished Li Family Village, remembered the hard days when they could only eat meat once a year.

Even though Li Boyang was already in his teens by then, and the flood that terrified the mountain people had passed.

Yet compared to now, those days were still far from prosperous.

As the youngest son of Li Chengfeng, sometimes watching his brothers who lamented their misfortune, he felt a deep sadness within.

Those brothers were only a few years older than Li Chungang, yet their life opportunities were completely different.

Especially in the path of cultivation.

Those brothers not only had inferior talents but were also hindered by congenital deficiencies, making it hard to truly achieve anything.

Had it not been for Chen Yun quietly giving them "Qi Blood Pills" to compensate for their deficiencies.

Li Chungang doubted whether those brothers could set foot on the path of cultivation.

As Li Chungang grew a bit older and the village gradually became affluent, his meals almost always included various meats.

Thanks to this, Li Chungang was able to fully manifest his innate gifts.

Progressing rapidly in both energy cultivation and mental cultivation, he was comparable to an Innate Divine like Li Xi.

From this perspective, Li Chungang was particularly envious of Li Xi’s "luxury of worries."

"His wrongs... aren’t for survival."

Gifted with intelligence, Li Xi naturally understood Li Chungang’s words, yet she didn’t agree.

Li Boyang once said that only when people live in abundance can they seek moral and intellectual growth and nurture a true conscience.

When a person can’t even fill their belly, talking to them about sages or ideals doesn’t compare to giving them a piece of bread.

Thus, Li Boyang was always dedicated to improving the mountain people’s lives, so they wouldn’t lose their humanity over basic material needs.

This was also Li Boyang’s biggest difference in handling Gods and the mountain people.

He never forced the mountain people to be moral models, only creating a soil to nurture such models.

In contrast, those early Gods had plenty and no concern for livelihood but still wreaked havoc.

They were the ones truly needing education and regulation.

At least, the mountain people just recently solved their basic food and clothing problem, still far from reaching such a high level.

"Alright, girl, you’ve always been smart since young, I can’t outtalk you."

Giving Li Xi a tired glare, Li Chungang then changed the subject.

"I don’t care whether you ultimately want to see him or not..."

"I just came to tell you, don’t let Uncle and Auntie be heartbroken."

"They’re the ones who raised you, not that biological father who abandoned you."

"The grace of birth and the grace of raising, you know in your heart which is heavier."

Before his words faded, Li Chungang transformed back into a gentle breeze and vanished, as if he had never appeared.

"Gang Ge, I’ll go back in a couple of days."

Seeing this, Li Xi quickly cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly in the direction the wind left.

"Make sure to tell Auntie that I’ve already made the new material she wanted, so she shouldn’t wander around these days."

Hearing that, the breeze twirled mid-air, as if responding to Li Xi.

Then it headed straight for Li Family Village without a moment’s pause.
