  Li Nianfan said calmly, “I’ll tell you now, mark down my words.”


  Without any delay, Meng Junliang took out his paper and pen, looking focused.

  Li Nianfan’s voice was slow and steady as he recited the usages of each herb. As there were too many herbs around, he only picked the more common and important herbs to talk about. He could speak of the rest in the future.

  Even so, he had already spoken for half an hour before stopping for a break.

  Meng Junliang and Zho Yunwu looked delighted! They looked at the written words as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

  Even if there was a chance for them to be Immortalized, they would not exchange this moment for that. They had attained a long list of usages that could affect hundreds of thousands of ordinary men. This would be their survival guide!

  Not only that, even Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun could feel the importance of this list.

  With this list in hand, the vitality of ordinary men would improve drastically. In the future, they could rely less on the cultivators.

  What was the most important thing for a group of people?

  Independence!

  If they kept relying on others, it was equivalent to their lives being controlled by others. They would always be the weaker ones. Once they gained independence, their mindsets would be different and they would improve drastically!

  Zhou Yunwu’s eyes were brimming with tears. He stood up and bowed three times in a row to Li Nianfan. “Sir, on behalf of the rest of mankind, I thank you for your insights!”


  Li Nianfan accepted it. Suddenly, he added on, “Oh right, there’s one more important thing!”


  “Sir, please, tell us.”


  Li Nianfan said with a solemn tone, “This medicine book must be shared and spread to everyone to pass on the knowledge, but the book must be copyrighted! This book contains the law of nature. No piracy is allowed!”


  Zhou Yunwu’s face turned serious. He said instantly, “Rest assured, sir. I’ll use the power of the nation to protect the originality of the book! I’ll destroy all pirated copies!”


  Li Nianfan looked satisfied. “Very well. You’re lucky to have such a good understanding. Therefore, I’ll teach you one more thing.”


  Zhou Yunwu was delighted. “Please, teach us, sir.”


  Li Nianfan asked, “How’s your production of food?”


  Zhou Yunwu said with a troubled face, “Not so well since our production of food is heavily affected by external factors. We haven’t been producing a lot. It’s not enough to feed all of us, especially since the plague hit. It came with famine.”


  Due to the shortage of food, he had begged the cultivators for help on more than one occasion. During the drought, he begged them to cast a spell for rain. During winter storms, he asked them to cast a warming spell.

  Li Nianfan turned to Meng Junliang and asked, “Mr. Meng, after visiting all the places you’ve been to, you must’ve seen different kinds of food production. Did you notice anything?”


  After a moment of thinking, Meng Junliang told him the one that made the deepest impression on him, “Most foods are from the same kind but different breeds. Even their characteristics are different.”


  Li Nianfan smiled and concluded, “Exactly! Have you thought of using two breeds, or even more breeds to cross-breed? This is so that they can make up for each other’s shortcomings and produce a breed that can withstand winters and droughts.”


  Vroom!

  Everyone’s minds were blown!

  Such a different way of thinking instantly turned their worlds upside down! They had goosebumps all over!

  So, so, so shocking!

  Only an expert who understood the world thoroughly could come up with such an idea!

  To breed animals that made up for each other’s shortcomings? Was this not the same as humans?

  If this was possible, they could pass this knowledge down for generations. Ordinary men would be self-sufficient!

  The expert was indeed a Godly man!

  Meng Junliang felt enlightened, as if a pathway in his head had cleared. His eyes lit up like two lightbulbs. “I understand now! I understand now!”


  What was Dao? This was Dao!

  To know each being well enough to use them accordingly!

  Meanwhile, a soldier rushed in hastily. He said to Zhou Yunwu in a tormented voice, “Prince, the men don’t believe in our medicine.”


  They all frowned.

  Zhou Yunwu scoffed coldly, “Why so?”


  The soldier said awkwardly, “They believe in……the Demon God.”


  Li Nianfan sighed softly. “Let’s go out and have a look.”


  They all walked out of the palace.

  They could see that the street was somehow crowded with people who had gathered in a group. This group of people looked wild as they chanted along with the ten or so men in black robes. They were chanting for the Demon God!

  Yao Mengji’s eyes sparkled. Instantly, he saw his chance to impress the expert. He said hastily, “Mr. Li, some demons have possessed these men. I’ll help you sort it out right away!”


  Li Nianfan said, “Thank you, Mr. Yao.”


  After a pause, he said, “Oh right, Mr. Yao. I need another favor from you. Later on, you could……”


  “Mr. Li’s a genius! It’s a small matter. Just sit back and watch!” Yao Mengji laughed and went away. He felt good about himself. These demons were here for him to impress the expert!

  Li Nianfan sighed again.

  These ordinary men had to be more independent!

  Li Nianfan hoped that there would be a clever leader leading the ordinary men, helping them to be independent!

  This was the same for himself as well.

  Respect was something one could only earn for one’s self.

  If the ordinary men did not respect themselves, how would they earn the respect of the cultivators?

  Li Nianfan was an ordinary man with many cultivating friends. Although they were all friendly, if the rest of the ordinary men were all ignorant, humble, and low, it would drag him down as well.

  Meanwhile, Zhou Yunwu was already standing on a tall tower. He called out, “Everyone, I’m the Prince of the Xia Kingdom, Zhou Yunwu. Please, believe me. We have the medicine to fight against the plague now. We’ll be fine!”


  Zhou Yunwu was a Prince, so his appearance did attract some audience.

  Someone called out, “Lies! Even the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom doesn’t dare to come out. Who would believe you?”


  Zhou Yunwu straightened his face. He ordered, “Bring out the people!”


  Instantly, a soldier appeared. He brought out all the infected patients.

  Under the eyes of everyone, Zhou Yunwu gradually made his way to the patients.

  He said to everyone in a loud voice, “As the Prince of the Xia Kingdom, from today onward, I’ll live and eat with all the patients! We’ll get treated together and wait for recovery!”


  Everyone fell silent.

  This scene was too shocking! Everyone was stunned!

  He was the Prince. Yet he was willing to risk his life for the people?

  Suddenly, everyone started to hesitate.

  Among the people, a demon’s face sank. The demon gradually approached Zhou Yunwu to kill him.

  However, before the demon could approach him, he silently vanished from the world.

  Yao Mengji smiled faintly as he pointed a finger at the leading demon and cast a spell.

  Instantly, a gust of wind blew at them. The demon’s black robes were blown away, revealing a face full of red marks!

  Instantly, everyone went into an uproar, running in all directions.

  “So, the disciple of the Demon God has been infected! There’s no use believing in the Demon God!”


  “I believe in Prince Zhou!”


  “Prince Zhou is even risking his life to prove it to us! The medicine will work!”


  “We’re saved! All hail Prince Zhou!”
……

  Soon, the crowd calmed down.

  Li Nianfan looked at Zhou Yunwu and said, “I hope Prince Zhou can lead the ordinary men, teach them, and be an ordinary-man-loving Emperor!”


  Zhou Yunwu looked determined. “I’ve learned a lot from your teaching today. Rest assured, the day will come. However, I have a humble request.”


  Li Nianfan paused slightly. “Oh? What is it?”


  Zhou Yunwu said anxiously, “If I were to face any problems along the way, can you please guide me?”


  “Ha-ha-ha, no problem,” Li Nianfan agreed.

  He knew the importance of an Emperor. If he could help an Emperor, he would feel good about himself!

  After coming to the Immortal Realm for five years, he was finally able to show off a little. After all, he had finally done something meaningful. He did not come here for nothing!

  Li Nianfan was in a good mood. He said, “Oh right, let me write you some words.”


  Zhou Yunwu was delighted. He said in excitement, “Please, sir!”


  Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji were so envious! The expert was being so nice to this ordinary Emperor!

  Daji prepared the ink. Li Nianfan picked up the brush.

  Since they were all in this Immortal Realm, and this was written for an ordinary man, he could not think of four better words than these!

  A powerful rush of air shot upward into the sky. Instantly, there were some changes in the world. The crowd could not help holding breaths while their hearts skipped a beat.

  Li Nianfan’s brush had landed on the paper……

  [Man Can Conquer Nature]!
