Chapter 598: Strength is the foundation of existence

Just as he said when he went out for inspection earlier, Mu Shanhe returned to the farm and truly started his 'hermit' life. Su Yikai and Hong Zhengdong, who came for vacation earlier than previous years, also admired Mu Shanhe's willingness to be ordinary.

If it were any other young man of the same age as Mu Shanhe, with such a huge amount of wealth and fame, would he be willing to stay in such a remote farm, living a life of hearing chickens and dogs, and being neighbors with the mountains every day?

But both of them could see from Mu Shanhe's expression his joy and sincere love for this life. Not to mention the outside world, even in the small towns outside the farm, they rarely see Mu Shanhe and set foot there.

What can be seen more is that Mu Shanhe is obviously young, but he always goes to bed later than them, but wakes up earlier than them. He runs into the mountains every now and then, and I don’t know what he is doing in the mountains.

Fortunately, they have been dealing with Mu Shanhe for so long, and they have already evaluated Mu Shanhe in their hearts, that is, they regard him as a real "wonder of the mountains". Since he is a strange person, isn't it normal to act a little different from ordinary people?

But in fact, Mu Shanhe really enjoys his current life. Even if I still have to find time every day to process some documents sent to me, I even have to make some phone calls. But at the farm, at least no one would disturb his work.

After years of struggle and hard work, Mu Shanhe has become more and more aware of the importance of 'strength'. The stronger he is, the more wealth he will have in the future. In the final analysis, strength is the foundation!

"Even if I give up all my outside career and just keep this farm, I will be able to live without worries for the rest of my life. Compared with the evolution of life, what does a mere extraneous wealth mean?"

By treating Su Yikai, Mu Shanhe became more and more aware that no matter how rich a man is, if he encounters an incurable disease, wealth may play some role. But he believes that this effect is still extremely limited and cannot save their lives.

If he can advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, then he will be qualified to be called a true Taoist Master. On this point, whether it is more important to make money or practice practice, the answer is self-evident. Only by giving up can you get something. If you want everything, what good thing is there?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to stay on the farm, Mu Shanhe spent more time on improving the contracted forest farm. Although wild ginseng seedlings were still transplanted in this year's contract forest, the number was much higher than in previous years.

Even the wild ginseng that had been left in the space for more than ten years was transplanted to the contracted forest by Mushanhe. He would also take care of the weeds and trees that looked like an eyesore.

In addition, he also released two adult tiger cubs into the contracted forest. Although there are two more tiger cubs, the number of animals living in the contracted forest has not decreased but is increasing.

The sika deer and fragrant deer that were previously bred on the farm now have their own populations in Ruoda's contracted forests. As for the two tiger cubs, they will not hunt beasts that carry the scent of the mountain god's space.

Brown bears and black bears, which were previously forest rangers, now also give birth to their own cubs. All in all, the number and density of animals living in the contracted forest at the moment is probably greater than that in the old forest in the mountains.

Correspondingly, because Mu Shanhe spreads a large amount of sacred soil in the contracted forest, even if it is insignificant to the entire contracted forest. But the improvement effect brought by sacred soil to contracted forests may exceed many people's imagination.

There are currently no scientific expedition teams entering the mountain. If they went there and saw the true situation of the contracted forest, they would probably be very shocked. Not to mention the lush vegetation in the entire contracted forest, the types and numbers of wild animals alone are beyond imagination.

The most important thing is that sika deer and fragrant deer, which are obviously vulnerable groups, sometimes even dare to stay near brown bears and tiger cubs to look for food. They don't seem to worry at all, they can become food for top predators at any time. Looking at the prosperous contracted forest, Mu Shanhe also said happily: "If we wait a few more years, this contracted forest will become a real treasure. The number of rare medicinal materials may exceed that of the old forests in the Changbai Mountains!"

Perhaps because of the presence of the divine soil, many purely wild animals were also lured into the contracted forest. In order to ensure that these animals can find enough food here, Mushanhe even transplanted some wild fruit saplings.

Herbivorous animals and carnivorous animals can find enough food to fill their stomachs as long as they dare to inhabit the contracted forests. Even if the two tiger cubs and the big bear exist, they still can't resist the migration of the jungle beasts.

Even the wild boar herds, which have caused so much damage to Mushan River, are now beginning to breed in the contracted forests. Fortunately, tiger cubs and brown bears are hunted from time to time, so Mu Shanhe does not have to worry as their population will be too large in the future.

In addition to doing these tasks, Mushanhe also uses its own relationships to connect the contracted forest to the old forest in the mountains that has not yet been logged, all of which are designated as prohibited logging areas. In this way, the vegetation and the environment are naturally protected quite well.

If it weren't for the fear of being too eye-catching, Mu Shanhe would actually like to contract more mountain forest land. But in the end, after thinking about it, he gave up this approach. To maintain the current scale, he does not plan to make any changes.

The reason why other state-owned forest farms that have not been logged yet are set as no-logging areas is because we do not want to isolate the contracted forests. If herb collectors enter deep mountains and old forests and set foot in contracted forests, they will also see corresponding warning signs.

In this way, as long as herb collectors or hunters see these warning signs, they will know that they have entered a privately contracted forest farm. If you pretend not to know, or dare to harm the forest farm, the end will definitely be quite miserable.

As Mu Shanhe's understanding of contracted forests increased, he also began to exercise his ability as an apprentice to the mountain god. Even without leaving home, with the help of tiger cubs and bear bears, they can detect every move in the contracted forest.

Herb collectors and hunters who entered the mountains in the early years would be in awe of the mountain gods. If they do not abide by the rules passed down by their ancestors, they may encounter money strings or other poisons when they dig up transplanted wild ginseng.

If they are hunters, even if they have weapons in their hands, they may be surrounded by beasts. No matter what kind of situation we encounter, it has nothing to do with Mu Shanhe if something goes wrong. To blame them, they can only blame them for not obeying the rules and provoking the dissatisfaction of the mountain god!

"When I complete the foundation building, I may be able to truly fully control the entire contracted forest, and even the area under my jurisdiction can expand to the entire Changbai Mountains. If one day, I can truly govern the entire Changbai Mountains, then the name of Mountain God will be truly worthy of the name! "

It is clear that in order to truly perform the duties of a mountain god, a mere Qi training realm Taoist practitioner is somewhat insufficient. Only by successfully building the foundation can one truly embark on the path of Taoism. In order to step down from the trainee position as soon as possible, Mu Shanhe naturally needs to work harder.

After all, when he was reborn, he had promised the deceased old mountain god to take charge of and protect this sacred land for him. Since he had made a promise, how could Mu Shanhe not try his best to fulfill his promise as soon as possible?
