My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 97: Absurd Thing

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In Qingzhou City,

‘Hungry… officials… Can you give us some food…’

‘Even if you don’t, can you at least let us die in peace…’

In the city, there is a place specially designated to detain those who profited during this famine.

At this moment, these people are already emaciated, a pitiful sight to behold.

The officials on duty nearby, however, act as if they don’t see them.

Among them are members of the Bai family and some government officials.

Now they are experiencing the suffering that the common people felt before.

Up to this point, they have been starving for eight days.

If it weren’t for two servings of thin porridge in between, they might have died already.

But even if they are still alive, they probably won’t survive much longer.

These people are locked up outside, in the city, visible to the common people.

So, it’s quite normal for the occasional stone to be thrown at them.

Those who have survived until now can be considered to have cultivated themselves successfully.

Bai Haiyin, the head of the Bai family, Elder Bai Junyi, and the ancestor Bai Daocnuan…

After losing their strength, these top figures are not much different from ordinary people.

After eight days of suffering, they are now emaciated and completely unrecognizable.

There are also some corrupt officials who attached themselves to the Bai family and tampered with relief grain.

They are also enjoying the same treatment.

Locked up here, isolated, and despised by the common people.

This is not about throwing stones at statues, but at real people, despising real people.

It feels completely different, and the common people’s anger and dissatisfaction find a good outlet.

It makes them feel extremely relieved.

After eight days of fermenting emotions,

The details of this matter have basically spread.

It was a high-ranking figure from the court, the titled Great Xia Sword Immortal, who came and resolved this issue for them.

The food problem has been temporarily solved, and with a large quantity of food on the way, eating should not be a problem in the near future.

In the eyes of the common people, Su Yang is like a divine being, a true celestial being.

Currently, the food crisis in the entire Qingzhou region is considered to be preliminarily resolved.

At the same time, all thirteen counties of Qingzhou know that this matter was resolved by the Great Xia Sword Immortal alone.

It can be said without hesitation that the Great Xia Sword Immortal saved the lives of millions of people in their province!

Word of mouth, praises resound everywhere.

The good name of the Great Xia Sword Immortal has already spread throughout Qingzhou.

Some fanatical individuals are even considering erecting stone statues and altars.

Su Yang has already returned to the Martial Suppression Division.

However, now, within the range of his sword intent, he can see the specific situation.

This includes those who are still starving.

To be honest, they look miserable.

But because of their selfish desires, they have caused hundreds of thousands, even millions of people to live like this.

Thinking of this, Su Yang has no pity for them.

Now he still needs to address the issue of Qingzhou’s severed lifeline, or else Qingzhou will continue in this state and cannot be saved.

He has already discussed this with the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

As long as there are enough seeds sown in the earth and nurtured with the power of the origin, they will sprout and grow in an instant.

The vitality of the entire land will recover under the promotion of the origin.

To avoid wasting this opportunity for revitalization,

Su Yang still needs to make some preparations.

That is to sow rice seeds in every place in Qingzhou where food can be grown.

Without knowing for sure whether it can be successful, Su Yang will not take risks easily.

As they say, rounding up to ninety percent equals suicide.

He is not that exaggerated, but he is used to being cautious.

He found Zhu Shouwu and explained his arrangements to him.

‘My lord… According to what you’re saying, won’t it be too absurd to simply sow rice in the fields?’ Zhu Shouwu was somewhat perplexed after hearing it. Is this how rice is planted?

Even if Su Yang has spiritual objects that can ripen rice instantly, it’s impossible to grow any crops in Qingzhou now. The vital energy has been severed, and the problem is not whether or not it can be ripened.

‘Furthermore, the land is dry now… Even if rice seedlings are cultivated, they won’t be able to grow…’ Zhu Shouwu cautiously advised. Food is precious now, and they can’t afford to waste it. But he also didn’t dare to contradict Su Yang too much.

‘Rest assured, just do as I say, and I have a way,’ Su Yang didn’t explain further, as in these matters, others will only believe it after it succeeds.

‘Understood.’ Zhu Shouwu reluctantly agreed. If Su Yang said so, even if he didn’t understand, he couldn’t continue to resist.

Zhu Shouwu went to make arrangements.

Su Yang continued with his sword training.

After reaching the sixth-grade in physical constitution, he could swing his sword at a speed of five thousand five hundred strikes per hour.

The speed increase became slower the further he went.

Initially, Su Yang hadn’t reached his physical limits, so the speed increase was rapid.

Now that he had reached his limit, every step forward, every increase, was breaking through the limit.

Unless there is a sudden surge in his physical constitution, going from the sixth-grade to the first-grade, for example.

In that case, his sword’s speed would increase significantly in an instant.

There was another problem; his current sword was very light, and the material was ordinary. If it weren’t for the presence of Heavenly Dao, with his current sword speed, the sword would have broken long ago.

Because of the Heavenly Dao’s presence, he didn’t need to worry about it.

So, Su Yang entered a state of sword practice.

Meanwhile, Gu Xu was still organizing the storage equipment.

There was no way around it; there was just too much equipment to sort through, categorize, and understand their uses clearly.

It was quite troublesome.

Su Yang could afford to ignore these things, he could completely not understand them.

But he couldn’t ignore them. He needed to know if he had these things when Su Yang needed them.

“Commander Zhu, won’t this be too absurd?” When Zhu Shouwu relayed Su Yang’s orders, the officials responsible for farming widened their eyes.

They felt like their years of farming experience were being disregarded.

With the land being so dry and no water source, how could rice be grown without the traditional farming processes?

According to Zhu Shouwu’s explanation, it seemed they didn’t need any procedures; they could just throw the rice into the ground, and that would be enough.

“You only need to do as instructed; how can this be absurd? The lord’s divine techniques are beyond our comprehension. Besides, turning individual grains of rice into mature rice plants is not impossible. Practitioners have many methods. If you find it absurd, it’s just a limitation of your vision,” Zhu Shouwu explained firmly. Even though he found it absurd himself, he had witnessed Su Yang’s power, so he chose to believe in him.

“Commander Zhu, while what you say is true… even with immortal techniques, it might work for a small area, but now we have to do this for the entire

Qingzhou. Are you sure Su Sword Immortal has the ability for that?” Zhong Shantu still wanted to persuade them. Food was critical now, and he didn’t want to waste it.

“To proceed is the way to go. Don’t delay the Lord Su Sword Immortal’s important matters. Even if it doesn’t work, the wasted seeds are not that many, but if it does work and you cause it to fail, I think you understand the consequences better than I do,” Zhu Shouwu insisted. “This matter must be carried out, and every step must be done properly without discussion.”

“Understood.”

Under Zhu Shouwu’s strong insistence, the matter was soon implemented.

Sowing seeds in all of Qingzhou’s fields where crops could be grown took some time.

Finally, after about three more days, Zhu Shouwu sent a message that the seeding was completed..
