Chapter 77: He Tu Lingshan
Lingbi County City.
Ni Xiaotang slowly landed on the bustling street with Li Xiaojun.
After they landed, Ni Xiaotang’s beauty attracted the attention of many men.
However, because Ni Xiaotang was an Immortal Master, many people only dared to glance at her occasionally.
Ni Xiaotang was perhaps used to this situation and felt no discomfort at all.
However, many men looked at Li Xiaojun and Ni Xiaotang, this beautiful woman, with envy and jealousy.
“Xiaotang, just protect me secretly. Having you next to me makes me feel too pressured,” Li Xiaojun said to Ni Xiaotang.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ni Xiaotang nodded.
The next moment, her figure vanished completely.
Li Xiaojun knew, however, that Ni Xiaotang was still by his side; she had merely gone invisible.
This kind of invisibility could not be seen by the naked eye and could only be detected through divine sense.
Once Ni Xiaotang became invisible, Li Xiaojun began to stroll along the street.
The street where Li Xiaojun currently stood was the most prosperous street in all of Lingbi County City, lined with various shops.
Pedestrians filled the street, nearly all of them ordinary mortals.
The reason for this was that cultivators with spirit roots were all arranged to live on planets where ordinary people could not survive.
Humanity needed to expand, migrate, and harvest resources from the cosmos.
Ordinary people could not go to planets where mortals couldn’t survive, so only cultivators went there.
Thus, whether on Taihuang Star or Autumn Rain Star, most of the humanity residing there consists of ordinary mortals.
The role of these mortals is to have children, many children.
As long as they give birth to a child with spirit roots, they can receive substantial rewards from the Cultivation Alliance.
That is why Autumn Rain Star has the largest population of humans.
According to statistics from the Cultivation Alliance last year, the total population on Autumn Rain Star reached seven hundred billion, accounting for a large portion of the total human population.
Fortunately, Autumn Rain Star is large enough, almost the size of hundreds of Earths combined.
Even so, the entire Autumn Rain Star has not yet reached the limit of human inhabitation.
If humanity could cultivate all the arable land on Autumn Rain Star to grow food, even more people could be supported.
Or if humanity could develop crops that doubled yield per acre, it wouldn’t be a problem for the population to increase by another double.
The majority of the human population resides on Autumn Rain Star, which is also why four Tribulation stage great emperors maintain their rule there.
“Little brother, are you looking to buy something?”
At a food stall, the vendor warmly greeted Li Xiaojun.
On the stall were foods that Li Xiaojun had never seen before, so he curiously stopped to take a look.
Although he had been on Autumn Rain Star for more than seventy years, he had only eaten the rare delicacies that ordinary people couldn’t access.
Li Xiaojun seldom ate the food that ordinary people consumed.
The main reason was that he was the father of a great emperor.
“Boss, I’ll take one,” Li Xiaojun instructed the vendor.
“Okay!”
Hearing that Li Xiaojun wanted one, the vendor immediately beamed with joy.
Soon, a portion of food was delivered to Li Xiaojun’s hands.
Li Xiaojun picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, finding it quite delicious.
Speaking of chopsticks, it was something Li Xiaojun had introduced to this world a hundred thousand years ago when he asked his daughters to eat with them.
As his daughters became powerful, chopsticks naturally spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
This resulted in the entirety of the Human Race using chopsticks for meals.
Additionally, many other items were also introduced by Li Xiaojun and subsequently promoted by his daughters.
For example, the Arabic numerals 123456789 have now become the universal numbers in the cultivation world.
Furthermore, after Li Xiaojun’s daughters unified the entire cultivation world, they implemented various standardizations.
For instance, lengths are measured based on the divine sense length of Shenghui Great Emperor Li Yuting, dividing it into a million parts to define “one meter," then using one meter to define kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, and so on.
As for weight, it is measured against one cubic decimeter of pure water.
This way, whether on Autumn Rain Star or Taihuang Star, even if the gravity of the two planets differs, the weight measurements remain similar.
As Li Xiaojun wandered the streets, he bought all sorts of items.
He didn’t miss out on any delicious food, fun items, clothing, or daily necessities.
After all, he had system space.
Whenever he encountered something tasty, he often bought extra so he could enjoy it later when he wanted.
While Li Xiaojun strolled and shopped, he noticed a filthy little girl carrying a basket and holding the hand of a three-year-old boy.
It wasn’t the little girl who caught Li Xiaojun’s attention, but rather the three-year-old boy she was holding.
Li Xiaojun observed that both the little girl and the boy carried his bloodline.
Of course, this wasn’t the main reason for his interest; he had too many bloodline descendants, and in a few years, the number would surpass ten billion. It was not enough to simply see one of his bloodline descendants to capture his attention.
What intrigued Li Xiaojun about this boy was that he possessed an Immortal spirit root.
This meant that the boy was born with earth spirit roots, and after his birth, the system automatically upgraded him to an Immortal spirit root.
Decades ago, when a bloodline descendant of Li Xiaojun was born with a spirit root above top-grade, the system would notify him.
However, since his daughters began collecting talent to enhance, he had turned off the system notifications.
He instructed the system that if any of his bloodline descendants were born with spirit roots above top-grade, the system should upgrade them four times three months after their birth.
The three-month setting was mainly because his daughters would also be searching for bloodline descendants with top-grade roots, intending to present them for enhancement.
How could they explain if the enhancement was done right after birth?
Therefore, children not presented to him within three months naturally meant they hadn’t been found by Li Ziwei and the others.
That is why Li Xiaojun set the system to automatically enhance their talents after three months.
Clearly, this little boy was one of his bloodline descendants who had not been found by Li Ziwei and the others.
“Little friend.”
Li Xiaojun waved at the little girl.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s call, the little girl hurriedly took the boy’s hand and eagerly approached him. “Big brother, would you like to buy some mountain pears? They are so sweet.”
As she spoke, the little girl removed the basket from her back, revealing it full of mountain pears.
“Big brother, try one; it’s so sweet.” The little girl took a pear from the basket and handed it to Li Xiaojun.
Li Xiaojun accepted the pear and took a bite, finding it indeed sweet. So, he decided to buy more pears.
“Little friend, how much are these pears?” Li Xiaojun asked the little girl with a smile.
“Not expensive, just two dollars a pound,” the little girl replied eagerly.
“Only two dollars? Then I’ll take them all,” Li Xiaojun announced, ready to purchase the entire basket.
The little girl was overjoyed to hear Li Xiaojun, “Big brother, these pears weigh about thirty pounds. You can give me fifty dollars.”
“Fifty dollars? Alright, here’s fifty dollars; keep it.” Li Xiaojun handed the fifty dollars to the little girl.
Then, with a wave of his hand, all the pears in the basket disappeared into his system space.
“Big brother, are you an Immortal Master?” The little girl gazed at Li Xiaojun with surprise as she saw him take the pears.
“Yes!” Li Xiaojun nodded, then smilingly asked, “What’s your name? How old are you? Does your family have more pears? I’d like to buy some more.”
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s inquiry, the little girl brightened up and said, “Big brother, my name is He Tu Lingshan; I’m six years old. My family has plenty of mountain pears. If you want, I can take you to my home to pick pears.”
“Great, then take me to your home to pick pears,” Li Xiaojun said with a smile, nodding at the little girl.
