Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

“This is what we have been working on these days.”

"It looks like a staircase. Are these the steps to the palace?"

"Stairs, that doesn't look like it. Aren't stairs supposed to be made of stone slabs? There's only dirt in here, how can people step on it? And the distance is too far."

Everyone was whispering, no one knew what this thing was for.

Until Keqing ordered them to mix the muddy and water-like substances from the dead branches and leaves into the terraces, make it even, and then take out the seeds.

This explained to them what these things did.

"These are terraced fields, a special type of cultivated land cultivated on the hillside that can retain water and prevent soil erosion."

"The fertilizer from these dead branches and leaves is excellent nutrient. Mixing it with the soil in appropriate proportions can improve soil fertility and increase food production."

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.

"It really is a field. Can this thing really be used for farming?"

"Isn't it? Those dead branches mixed with things can increase the yield?"

Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Keqing didn't say much.

I took out a seed and planted it in the field. I didn't know what happened, but the seed grew in the wind, sprouted and bore fruit in an instant, the branches grew longer, the top turned from green to yellow, and finally it formed an ear, which produced large, round grains.

Chapter 70: Changes (Part 2)

Everyone was shocked!

Is this the magic?!

But I heard the fairy say.

"The spell didn't come out of nothing. I just used my magic power to speed up the growth of the seeds. I didn't interfere with anything else. In other words, if they are planted here, they will bear seeds in a month and become food."

Doesn’t that mean these terraced fields can really be used for growing crops?

Some people opened their mouths wide, while others focused on the fairy's moon.

"Excuse me, fairy, how can the rice fields produce ears of corn in just one month? Are these terraced fields really that amazing?"

Keqing shook her head, then nodded.

"Of course not. The ear of corn is not produced because of the field, but because of the seed."

"This seed is used by the immortal world to feed ordinary people.

Although the spiritual ears that fill people's stomachs have no spiritual energy and are useless to those who practice immortal cultivation, they can absorb the meager spiritual energy in the environment for their own growth. Therefore, they can produce ears of wheat once a month. This is feasible even in the mortal world, but the yield will be reduced, so they must have sufficient fertility. "

"One month!"

"Is this a fairy seed!?"

The reason why the ears of corn are so big is because they don’t have that damn spiritual energy. If they were in some realm of cultivation, how big would the ears of corn be?

Everyone was dumbfounded, but then they remembered what the fairy had asked them to do in the past half month!

It turns out that this is not only a punishment, but also for them.

What a good intention it is to cultivate such a large piece of land on this quiet and uninhabited hillside so that it will not be affected by external disasters and man-made calamities.

For a moment, in their hearts, although Keqing was majestic, stern and solemn, he was no longer so high and mighty and frightening. On the contrary, everyone could feel the softness in the immortal's heart from that hint of severity, which was a false kindness and compassion for the refugees like them.

At this moment, the other party seemed to be covered with a layer of light, dazzling in their eyes.

Light?

No, it really glows! ?

The little coal ball rubbed his eyes. His master really glowed! ?

Hey, why is the light gone again? Did I see it wrong?

He scratched his head.

Have I not been working hard enough recently? Is my eyesight blurry?

Why do I keep having hallucinations? Is it because the sunlight is too glaring?

……

……

With Keqing's demonstration, people's attitude towards the terraced fields is no longer so indifferent, but they value them very much.

After Wang Er's implicit reminder, they knew that the fairy would not stay here forever and the food was not unlimited. The fairy just saw that they were in trouble, so she came to help and guide them.

For a time, the atmosphere was right, and even without being urged by others, the women planted seeds and the children collected dead leaves, while others buried their heads in the hard work and indulged in the reclamation of wasteland, taking the initiative to atone for their sins with labor instead of being assigned by others.

Because the fairy said that everything reclaimed during the compensation period would be public and owned by everyone, but if the guilt was eliminated, they could reclaim their own terraces.

This greatly improved efficiency, and some people even passed out from the sun.

After hearing about this, Keqing thought about it, took out some Shengling Pills, ground them into powder, dissolved them in water, and used them to strengthen these people's bodies and repair their hidden injuries.

Spirits have a restorative effect on the human body, even for mortals. However, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is too scarce. I'm afraid that all the spiritual energy in such a mountain is not as good as the spiritual energy in a few pills.

After this, everyone was surprised to find that their physical strength had greatly increased, and their usual old ailments had disappeared. They all had even more respect for Keqing.

They all began to consciously abide by the laws set by the fairies, helping each other with love and living in peace.

Soon, most of the points of many people were eliminated because of their labor activities, but there was still a part that was not eliminated because some mistakes infringed the rights of others, and these crimes could only be compensated by helping others when the victims could not be found. It could not be eliminated by simple labor punishment.

Helping others? Looking at the people around me, does this count?

Maybe... we can help the refugees who are suffering like them and worry about having done something wrong.

Didn't the fairy lady want to see the refugees suffer? But she also didn't like them to do evil. If they could bring the refugees back and make them correct their mistakes like themselves, and stop them from going astray, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

As for the problem of food, that is absolutely not a problem. Seeing the immortal seeds sprouting in just a few days, and growing to several inches in size in just a few days, such immortal seeds give them confidence, and they believe that they can settle down no matter how many refugees there are.

If you are afraid that someone will cause trouble and destroy the current stability, then there is nothing to be afraid of. With the Fairy here, who would dare to cause trouble?

I believe that the refugees will change in the future and will happily accept the kindness of the Fairy.

After all, having such a peaceful place is better than looting everywhere.

Somewhere, the thug boss who had just led the refugees to plunder and was satisfied with it suddenly felt a shock all over his body, as if something bad was going to happen.

……

……

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am not wrong. More people should be allowed to accept the teachings of fairies and be guided to do good. This is what they should do. Doing evil is absolutely not allowed. If everyone in the world is evil, how can there be such a kind and gentle person as a fairy to save them?

When they die in the future, they will probably not even be able to be reincarnated in hell. They may even be ashamed of the evil deeds they did in their previous lives, and be boiled in oil, forcing them to repent for the rest of their lives.

Everyone discussed this idea and told Wang Er, who then led them to tell the Fairy about their wishes.

"You want to go find those refugees?"

"Yes, Lady Keqing, we think that since you don't like us doing evil, you probably don't like other refugees like us either."

"In this case, why don't we take the initiative to find those refugees, bring them back, make them stop doing evil, and give them hope of survival."

"This will not only make up for our mistakes, but also allow more people to survive.

Admonish and spread your grace, killing two birds with one stone."

Before, Keqing told these people her name and said that she was not an immortal, but just an ordinary cultivator with power.

After repeated requests, this group of people no longer called her fairy or master when talking to her, but called her Lady Keqing, which sounded much more pleasing to her ears, as if she had returned to the situation in Liyue.

However, for the refugees, it doesn’t matter what the fairy is called, and they don’t understand what immortal cultivators are like. They only know that it is Lady Keqing who has helped them regain their self-esteem and self-love as human beings and brought them hope.

So they can call her whatever the Fairy Lady wants them to call her. In their hearts, the other party will always be the fairy who saved them. Even if she is not a real fairy, she is no different from a fairy.

"I just had the same idea. Since you brought it up, that's great."

Keqing didn't expect that this group of people would start to act spontaneously, which shows that her guidance has achieved certain results.

Without the threat to life and the crisis of food and water, these people will no longer be selfish and have more kindness to spread, which is a good thing.

Keqing never believed that a person is born to sacrifice himself for others and help others when he is in crisis; but when there is no threat to herself, she can show kindness and take the initiative to help others. Whether this is because of atonement or because of the recognition of mistakes, this makes her see the change of this group of people, a positive change.

So she certainly would not refuse their request. She also hoped that she could stop more people from doing evil and save more lives.

Not only did she not refuse, she also offered help, providing the necessary weapons and equipment so that the group could protect themselves.

So, half of the people were left behind, and the remaining young laborers brought food, weapons, and a strong body, ready to capture all the evildoers and accept the "training" of Lady Keqing.

[Ah, these people are so self-aware...]

Little Coal Ball sighed and said that it was no wonder that the master had trained this group of people so quickly.

Eh? Training... Why does it sound a bit weird to say this?

Chapter 71: Glass Sect (Part 3)

"Wang Er, what do you think we should do next? Where can we find refugees?"

Seeing Wang Er's calm and composed look, other villagers nearby asked, and a few people behind him also came over to listen, wanting to hear what he had to say.

In the past few days, because of the Fairy Lady, Wang Er's status has risen dramatically. Everyone praises him as a promising man, and some even flatter him.

However, Wang Er might really have a scale in his heart, a mind as clear as a mirror. He knows where his status comes from and what he wants. He is not lost because of the flattery. Instead, he works harder and becomes more fulfilled.

This time, Lady Keqing sent him to lead the way. It was a good opportunity and he must do his best.

There were several waves going out to search for refugees this time. He, Wang Er, was one group, and Wang Dazhuang and a newcomer, Zhang Qing, were the other two groups. There were three teams in total, and each team had about 10 to 20 people.

He, Wang Er, cannot lose to others.

"Hey, don't call me Wang Er anymore. I have a name, Wang Sui! This is the name given by Lady Keqing!"

"Okay, Wang Sui, what do you think we should do next?"

Others were somewhat helpless. Wang Er was good, but couldn't he stop showing off his name every day? It was just a name. Damn it. I was so envious!

If they didn't already have a proper name, they would have asked Lady Keqing for a name a long time ago.

"Although we decided to find refugees this time, it was also what Lady Keqing wanted. It was what Lady Keqing expected, so we naturally have to do it well and not lose to others. Don't you agree?"

"That's right, we must not lose."

"Yes, with you, Wang Sui, here, how can we lose? You are a favorite of Lady Keqing."

"Not only can we not lose, we also have to bring back more refugees. We have to give Zhang Qing a scare."

As per the usual practice, Wang Sui nodded to boost everyone's morale and motivate those around him.

"So Wang Er, no, Wang Sui, what do you think?"

"Yes, we got separated from the main group before. Now we don't know what the situation is like outside, or where the refugees are."

“Hey, speaking of which, my cousins ​​also got separated while traveling, it would be great if I could find them this time.

Looking at the people around him talking at the same time, Wang Sui raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"I know that everyone has come out with great difficulty and some are worried about their lost relatives, but you know that our first priority is to find those refugees and bring them back, so don't forget our purpose."

"I know everyone is worried about their loved ones, but there's nothing we can do right now, right? But if we can spread the word about Lady Keqing's kindness, one day as long as your loved ones are still alive, maybe they'll come here based on the rumors."

"Wang Sui...what do you mean?"

someone asked.

“What do you think refugees need most?”

Wang Sui asked.

"Food, of course!"

"No, no, no, it's hope!"

“It’s the hope of being able to live a stable life and have enough food and drink.”

Wang Suizhan

Nail the iron road.

"Food is only temporary, but hope is buried deep in our hearts."

"If it weren't for Lady Keqing's appearance, we would have become villains, robbers or thugs. But what about others who don't have the same fate as us?"

"Are the people still alive lacking food? I'm afraid many refugees have been forced to become thugs or robbers. They need a safe place where they don't have to worry about anything and don't need to be disturbed. They also need a place where they can eat anytime."

"You mean, we should make Lady Keqing's affairs public?"
