Chapter 1640: Needed by the Emperor
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
All the empty alleys near the posthouse were filled with bags of seeds taken out of the space. It was enough to sow seeds in Lizhou for the first half of the year. Other than the early rice seeds, there were also seeds to grow other crops.
After the main warehouse near Stone Village was built, they would take out the seeds and put them in the main warehouse.
Shi Yuan had already sent a letter back to the capital to inform his wife and brother that he would not be back so soon. He wrote another letter and asked his younger brother, Shi Che, who was in charge of the national treasury, to take out the money to buy and open seed shops in various places other than Lizhou. Shi Yuan had also given the order for him to handle this matter. The seed shops in Lizhou would be opened first, and then they would be handed over to his younger brother.
Shi Yuan had also instructed the government to prepare for the construction of the main warehouse near Stone Village once they received this letter. He told them not to disturb the people of Stone Village.
Therefore, although the main warehouse was set near Stone Village, it was still a certain distance away from Stone Village to not disturb them.
After Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took out the seeds near the posthouse, they didn’t go anywhere else. They returned to the posthouse and informed Shi Yuan that they were done. Shi Yuan immediately sent people to move the seeds to the granary closest to Yaoshui Town. The seed shops Lizhou will be opened soon. When the time came, they would take the seeds out of the granary and sell them in the shops.
Those who went to move the seeds were very strange. They had no idea that there were so many seeds in the nearby empty alleys. There were so many bags that they could not walk through it. However, it was the Emperor’s order, so no one dared to ask anything.
The first to bear the brunt were torn into pieces in an instant.
The subsequent flying fire tricks did not escape unscathed either, some were charred by lightning, others had their bodies torn open by wind blades, and still, others were gripped by translucent giant hands and mercilessly crushed, mixing bone and flesh into one!
In the blink of an eye, the space in front of the Giant Whale was instantly cleared.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
At the same time, more and more cultivators appeared on the deck, joining the fray to defend the flying warship.
The flying fire tricks around them were instantly terrified out of their wits, emitting panicked cries as they desperately scattered in all directions.
But the cultivators, now in their slaughter, were nowhere near ready to let off, each summoning their magic artifacts or flying swords.
Chasing after the fleeing flying fire tricks.
Thinking they could come and go as they pleased, was there ever such a cheap deal!
And Wang Chen, being part of it, also pitched in.
He waved his sleeve and released the Wind Thunder Sword, piercing through the head of a flying fire trick dozens of zhang away with a single strike.
Using the same Thunderbolt Sword Technique, Wang Chen’s attack, with his current Purple Mansion cultivation level, increased its lethality manifold.
After the Wind Thunder Sword penetrated the lizard head of that flying fire trick, the rolling thunder only then reached everyone’s ears.
[Human Virtue +217]
A single flying fire trick contributed 217 points of Human Virtue to Wang Chen!
Regrettably, when he was eager to continue harvesting Human Virtue, the nearest flying fire tricks were already a hundred zhang away, fleeing so fast they were almost out of sight.
Wang Chen had no choice but to call back his flying sword.
The crisis averted, the Giant Whale’s sails unfurled once more, and the ship quickly regained its speed, continuing its forward flight.
In truth, for the Giant Whale, being attacked by a group of flying fire tricks wasn’t much during its hundreds of thousands of li journey. It was merely that this time the number of monster beasts was rather high, which is why the passengers were asked to help.
Otherwise, relying solely on the ship’s inbuilt armament would have been sufficient.
Three days later, the Giant Whale landed on the outskirts of a city.
“Even the Emperor needs seeds from Xue Yan and Jiang Yue,” someone whispered when they came out of the seed shop.
“It must be from Xue Yan and Jiang Yue,” another person said in a very low voice. “They’re preparing to build a seed warehouse near our village… Xue Yan and Jiang Yue always appear near our village first.”
