It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 187 Rice

Su Yun shook his head: "I have no cultivation."

The rules of the underworld are different from those of the mortal world; You Li's combat strength cannot be measured by her cultivation level.

Qin Changqing assumed he didn't know or didn't want to say, and shook his head with a wry smile: "This time, we owe a lot to Miss Su."

A sage can kill millions of lives with a single blow, but only if their cultivation level is not high and they have not formed a combined attack formation.

The city and mountain gates are equipped with numerous formations that can block and deflect most spiritual energy.

The combined attack formation of soldiers is also the most representative large formation.

For a sage to annihilate millions of soldiers in one strike, he needs the right timing, the right location, and the right people—a very difficult task.

To destroy a city in one fell swoop, you either need long-term preparation or extremely good luck.

These millions of ferocious beasts did not form a grand formation, but their spiritual energy shared the same origin and they were instinctively connected.

Even if a sage could kill a large number of people with a single blow, it would be unlikely to resolve the situation completely.

Su Yun blinked but didn't say anything more.

Facing a powerful individual who is proficient in the soul would be slightly more difficult.

However, You Li's combat power is still strong, and at present, there are not many who can pose a threat to her.

Qin Changqing sighed, "I've been lucky all along."

I must be incredibly lucky to have had so many opportunities along the way.

Qin Changqing glanced at the Emperor Lotus; it would take at least another year for it to bloom.

He had a vague feeling that this lotus flower would not belong to the Great Qian Dynasty.

That's not a bad thing; you might even gain more benefits from it in the future.

Bang.

The guard relaxed and plopped down on the ground.

They were all prepared to die, but unexpectedly, all the enemies were suddenly eliminated.

The stark contrast left them bewildered, yet filled with gratitude.

Qin Changqing wanted to reach out and pat Su Yun's shoulder, but the huge height difference made it look somewhat awkward.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand and say, "Thank you, Young Master Su and Miss Su, for saving my life."

"I, Qin Changqing, am eternally grateful and will never forget it!"

Su Yun pulled You Li to the side, avoiding the impact.

He blinked and made a face: "You can actually walk, right?"

Qin Changqing chuckled but did not answer.

Su Yun had a good impression of the prince; he possessed not only the Shrinking Earth Talisman but also other magical treasures, which allowed him to leave.

But whether it was for Di Lian, for the Su family, or for his subordinates, he persisted.

That alone makes them better than others.

"Now that the ferocious beast is dead, let's leave... Wait!" Qin Changqing suddenly remembered something and became excited.

"Young master, I remember you just said that you had a way to solve the epidemic in the city?"

Su Yun nodded and took out the True Immortal Valley from his sleeve: "Plant this. Never mind, I'll do it."

He walked to the edge of the Emperor Lotus Pool, used the Supreme Sacred Bone to dig a small hole in the ground, and planted the True Immortal Valley in it.

Then, they fetched water nearby to irrigate the plants, and within just a few breaths, tender green seedlings sprouted.

Qin Changqing asked curiously, "What is this?"

Su Yun said, "Medicine."

"Medicine?" Qin Changqing immediately perked up and hurriedly called out, "Who knows farming and sericulture techniques? Come and help!"

The guards looked at each other, but no one knew what was going on.

"Your Highness, are you safe and sound!" Wu Ye's voice suddenly boomed. The sky was overcast, and a massive army was gathering.

Qin Changqing turned around in surprise: "It's Master Wu? Faster than I expected!"

Boom!

A series of explosions rang out in the sky, and then Master Wu led several men to rush up the mountain.

The magistrate of Deshou County immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue!"

Beside him, the magistrates of Hewu County, Hunqing County, and Gancheng County also knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive us for being late in coming to your aid!"

Qin Changqing was startled and quickly went to help him up: "Who says you're late? You've arrived just in time!"

He helped the person up and looked them over one by one, only to find that the face was not there.

He then asked, "Master Wu, where is the magistrate of Cheng'an County?"

Master Wu said, "Time and space in Cheng'an County are still frozen, so I can't get in."

Qin Changqing remembered that Cheng'an County had been frozen in time and space by the third daughter of the Su family with a single sword strike.

He had a headache; how come the Su family was getting stronger and stronger?

The reason I made these county magistrates stand up was because I was worried that Su Yun's uncle might be among them.

Now, Qin Changqing dares not make the Su family, or even her own family, kneel before him!

The county magistrates looked at each other in bewilderment: "Huh?"

Wasn't it said that the crown prince was surrounded by thousands of ferocious beasts and his life was in danger?

The prince's private army, along with all the surrounding troops, came out in full force.

The current situation doesn't seem like something's wrong.

Master Wu was also bewildered. He turned his head and his pupils shrank immediately: "Your Highness, this—!"

The surrounding thousands of ferocious beast corpses indicate that an extraordinary battle once took place here.

However, the prince and his entourage had no wounds, and their various magical treasures were still in use, indicating that they had prepared for a fierce battle but had not been affected.

What happened that could kill millions of ferocious beasts while simultaneously protecting the Crown Prince and his entourage?

The county magistrates then looked around in shock and exclaimed in alarm, "Ferocious beasts! So many ferocious beasts!"

"At least a million!"

"This stretches as far as the eye can see, at least tens of millions!"

The quick-witted magistrate had already knelt down, feigning excitement as he praised, "Your Highness is truly valiant! You have slain so many strange beasts!"

"This is a blessing for our Great Qian Dynasty! May Heaven bless our Great Qian Dynasty!"

Qin Changqing's face immediately turned cold, but he quickly regained his smile: "I think it would be a waste for County Magistrate He to only be a county magistrate, as he is not eloquent enough to win people's hearts."

The county magistrate was immediately excited: "Thank you for the Crown Prince's promotion!"

Qin Changqing said, "The Southern Regions are facing diplomatic difficulties, so you should go and expand the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty."

The county magistrate turned deathly pale: "Your Highness, Your Highness—!"

Being an envoy is nowhere near as comfortable as being a county magistrate, especially in places like the northern and southern regions, which are not places fit for human habitation.

The Northern Region is home to the Barbarian Kingdom and the Xuanwu True Alliance, both places where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak.

The Southern Region, after the destruction of the Demon Kingdom, was divided into a chaotic state of hundreds of kingdoms due to the conflicts between various forces.

The Qianlong Emperor repeatedly sent troops to suppress and punish the murdered envoys.

Although he managed to gain some benefits each time, the envoy was ultimately killed!

The magistrate turned pale; he knew he might not be able to return once he went!

The others looked distressed, knowing full well that this was a case of flattery backfiring.

It seems that even the Crown Prince is keeping the matter of slaying the ferocious beast a closely guarded secret.

A county magistrate immediately said, "Since Your Highness is unharmed, we shall take our leave!"

The others immediately bowed.

The prince ran into the wilderness and was attacked; clearly, he wasn't there for a vacation.

Whatever they find there, they choose to ignore it.

Qin Changqing nodded slightly and said, "I will remember your loyalty."

"When we return to the court, we will definitely report the truth to our father."

The county magistrates were overjoyed and bowed to take their leave.

Swish swish!

Qin Changqing turned around and saw that the plant was already as tall as a person.

He immediately shouted, "Who, who knows the art of farming, sericulture, and medicinal plants, come quickly!"

An aide immediately stepped forward and quickly said, "This is some kind of... rice!"

Qin Changqing frowned: "Young Master said this is medicine! How can it be rice!"

Rice is for eating, medicine is for treating illnesses, how can they be the same?

The aide was on the verge of tears: "But this is rice!"

Swish swish!

The tender green seedlings grew extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they blossomed and sprouted ears of grain, growing as tall as a person.

At the top, grains of rice indeed sprouted, quickly filling out and pressing down.
