Begin As A Tree: Don’t Worry. I’ll Become A God

Everyone in the village was shocked by the child’s talent. They began to worship the Divine Tree even more.

Lord Divine Tree was truly worthy of being Lord Divine Tree. With a single glance, he was able to tell that this child’s talent was extraordinary. It would appear that he would have to serve Lord Divine Tree even more sincerely in the future.

Ling Yao brought the good news to Gu Xiao and told him about the situation of the eight children in the village over the past few months.

Unfortunately, Gu Xiao was not too shocked when he first heard this news because he did not know what the Qi Refinement Realm meant to cultivators.

At this moment, the system notification sounded.

[Ding! System supplement. The martial artists in this world are divided into the Qi Drawing Realm, the Qi Refinement Realm, the Postnatal Realm, the Connate Realm, the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Divine Treasure Realm, the Essence Soul Realm, and the Supreme Realm.]

Gu Xiao was stunned when he heard the system notification and asked curiously.

“System, why didn’t you tell me that there are realms?”

[Ding! Because the host has chosen to increase his level by developing believers, the host’s level is divided into one to a hundred levels. Every ten levels correspond to a realm.]

Gu Xiao had a direct understanding of this, but this understanding almost made him unable to breathe.

“Every ten levels corresponds to a realm. In other words, I’m only at the Qi Drawing Realm now?”

[Ding! Yes!]

Gu Xiao was so angry that he almost laughed out loud.

Nearly a hundred years had passed. He did not expect that he was only at the Qi Drawing Realm.

At this moment, the system prompted again.

[Ding! Host, don’t be discouraged. There are a total of eight mortal martial artist realms. The host’s level corresponds to one realm every ten levels. After Level 80, the host’s realm will be even higher than the highest Supreme Realm in the human world.]

Gu Xiao perked up when he heard this.

“In other words, every ten levels corresponds to a realm. As long as I reach Level 100, I can be two realms higher than the Supreme Realm, right?”

[Ding! Yes!]

This was undoubtedly good news. Although his leveling speed was still very slow, as long as he could stay low and reach Level 80, he would not be afraid of most opponents in the world.

At Level 90, he was basically invincible.

Life suddenly had something to look forward to!

Gu Xiao knew that if he wanted to make the village bigger and stronger, it was far from enough to rely on these eight people to cultivate.

Not only did he have to be skilled in martial arts, but he also had to take the initiative financially. Gu Xiao asked Ling Yao some questions and roughly understood the situation in this area.

Although martial artists were respected in this world, their productivity was very inefficient. Paper that was slightly more high-grade and delicate was all very expensive and rare existences. Most of them used very rough paper.

As a transmigrator, Gu Xiao still remembered the knowledge of his previous life very clearly.

Of course, paper-making technology alone was not enough. Gu Xiao also understood that the bricks used by the lower-class human residents of this world to build houses were of very poor quality.

They could not withstand the earthquake, the flood, and of course, the berserk demon beasts.

Gu Xiao decided to hand over the skills of burning bricks and tiles to these villagers.

That night, Gu Xiao sneaked into the dreams of a few villagers. After understanding them in their dreams, he knew that they were all good at manual labor, so he passed on these shocking technologies to them.

After a period of time, these few technical representatives who had been selected could already be proficient in making paper, burning bricks, and burning tiles. It would not be long before they could start production.

In the village, other than the dozen people in charge of cultivation, Gu Xiao basically divided the villagers into two parts. One was in charge of making paper, burning bricks, and burning tiles, while the other was in charge of farming and breeding.

The entire forest was under Gu Xiao’s control. Where were the demon beasts? What was their realm? Were there unhatched beast eggs? Or newborn cubs? Gu Xiao knew all about them.

Gu Xiao’s rhizome had spread to a radius of nearly 100 miles. Although the further one was from it, the more one couldn’t perceive it clearly, it was already extremely terrifying to be able to set up an information network within a radius of 100 miles.

With Ling Yao personally leading the team, other than the eight youths, there were also dozens of Liao Xing’s old subordinates, disciples, and subordinates in the village. These people were now the main combat strength of the village.

They formed a small team to capture spirit beasts, steal beast eggs, or capture cubs to bring back for taming. They could help in terms of productivity, and the village could also be used as a fighting force when guarding the house.

The village was thriving. The paper they made, the bricks and tiles they burned, sold very well in the nearby cities and markets, but they also secretly attracted some people’s attention.

There was a stronghold on the mountain next door. The stronghold was filled with desperadoes and martial artists who had been chased out of their sects. They had gathered on the mountain as bandits for one purpose: wealth.

When they heard that the nearby villages sold paper, bricks, and tiles, they earned a lot of money. This group of mountain bandits immediately targeted the village.

Of course, they didn’t want to snatch paper, bricks, or tiles. The person who could research these things was the most important.

He just had to capture him and torture him to tell him how to make paper and bricks.

Or he could just capture all these villagers and let them work hard every day to produce these paper bricks and tiles. Wouldn’t that be the same as earning money?

The plan was quite well thought out. These bandits were quite efficient. Before the next day, they reached the village that night.

They originally thought that even if there were martial artists in this village, they would at most be at the Qi Drawing Realm. They did not expect to encounter a Connate Realm expert like Ling Yao.

The result was obvious. The highest level of these bandits was only at the Qi Refinement Realm, but they were already in their forties. It would probably be difficult for them to take another step forward in their lives.

The next day, Ling Yao told Gu Xiao that the village had been raided by bandits. He was shocked.

Although these bandits were not very strong and Ling Yao had already finished dealing with them, this also explained the problem.

A man’s wealth was his own ruin. Making paper and burning bricks and tiles was a quick way to earn money. If a more powerful organization or group found out about this, it would probably cause even more trouble.

For the time being, Gu Xiao could not think of a better solution, so he could only tell Ling Yao.

“Listen carefully. The Divine Tree Village is not allowed to help unrelated people in the future. You have to keep a low profile at all times. If you really have no choice but to attack, you have to be prepared to kill them in one strike. After killing them, you have to deal with them properly. Remember, you have to think twice before acting…”

“Oh! Also, if you meet anyone with the surname Lin, Lu, Su, and Chu, you must stay away from them! The further away you are from them, the better. If you really can’t hide, try not to become enemies with them!”
