Chapter 867 Mo Cheng has always treated people with sincerity
Those who gathered in front of Zhang's house were arrested by yamen runners and constables and thrown into jail. To put it mildly, this was an offense against the prefect, and to put it more seriously, it was an attempt to assassinate and a rebellion.
Mo Cheng had no interest in knowing what would happen to those people. Both he and Prefect Zhang knew one thing very well, that is, these guys were not very smart and were just cannon fodder who were fooled by others.
Perhaps someone was trying to test Mo Cheng and wanted to see his reaction, and those guys gathered together became the best tools to test Mo Cheng's attitude.
Mo Cheng could only sigh and put away the hexagram ice crystal. He knew that while he was still in the city, he had lost the possibility of throwing this thing out to ward off trouble.
Prefect Zhang plans to stand up for him, so that theoretically no one can force Mo Cheng to hand over the rare treasure, but there must be people plotting in secret.
After all, it was a rare treasure that was enough to transform the surrounding environment into a fairyland. If it were him, he didn't think he would give up just like that.
"Forget it, let's just play it by ear."
Mo Cheng was thinking about whether he should set up an organization in secret. If it was really necessary one day, he would use the identity of that organization to crush those guys who tried to plot against Mo Cheng.
As for the members of the organization, there are countless of them, but in fact there is only one person, and that is Mo Cheng.
[Division leads to success] plus [Seventy-two Transformations] are enough to clear Mo Cheng of all suspicion.
If it weren't for the fact that forcibly raising the ultimate skill level before meeting the prerequisites would cause very troublesome sequelae, Mo Cheng would have planned to max out [Division Makes Success] first so that he could be a force all by himself.
Mo Cheng's identity cannot be tainted with massacre, but other identities do not have this requirement. The only trouble is that Mo Cheng needs to think of several identities, names, and appearances, and they cannot be too similar.
For Mo Cheng, this is the most troublesome part.
…
At night, in Zhang's house.
Prefect Zhang's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had heard extremely surprised words, "Shou Xin, are you saying that you are willing to use the rare treasure in the city?!"
It’s not the fault of Magistrate Zhang for his loss of composure, because Mo Cheng made a suggestion that he simply couldn’t refuse.
“This…this…”
The local governor was very embarrassed at this moment, because Mo Cheng had just proposed to spread the power of the rare treasure to the entire city and even outside the city, so as to speed up the recovery of vitality in the surrounding land.
Magistrate Zhang knew very well what the land engulfed by the undertow would look like. Not to mention what kind of mess would be born, what gave him the most headache was that after being engulfed by the undertow, the land lost its fertility and it was difficult to grow crops.
Not to mention crops, even weeds may not be able to grow.
However, the undertide has appeared for more than a hundred years, and people have worked out a solution. All they have to do is seal the soil fertility, vitality and other things in the seeds before the undertide arrives, and then sow again after the undertide is over, and part of the land can be restored to planting in a very short time.
Those seeds were sealed in government warehouses all year round and could not be opened without the seal of the prefect.
But when the undercurrent broke through the city walls and engulfed most of the city, all the grain seeds in the government warehouses were contaminated.
Magistrate Zhang could even foresee that in the future, it would not take long, just two or three months, before famine would occur in this area.
As the prefect, Zhang could not escape the blame for the famine in the area under his jurisdiction, which was why he was so furious at the time, because the Fourth Prince's actions had ended his political career and even intended to wipe out his biological life and the lives of countless people.
Without seeds, it would be almost impossible for the land in this area to regain life.
Unless one asks a Taoist cultivator or an immortal to take action, or asks those thousand-year-old sects to open the immortal caves and heavens within their sects, pour the spiritual energy in them into the earth, and forcibly give the earth a new life.
But Magistrate Zhang didn't even give this idea a chance to appear in his mind.
Because no one will agree.
It was also because of this that he understood the function of the rare treasure obtained by Mo Cheng, and why he lost his composure when Mo Cheng proposed this plan.
"Is this true?!"
"Mo Cheng has always... treated people with sincerity."
Prefect Zhang stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Mo Cheng, "On behalf of the people in the city, I would like to thank you for keeping your promise."
The function of rare treasures is to activate the spiritual energy of a place, and even make it close to the spiritual energy quality of immortal caves.
But no one knows the limit of the rare treasure . In the eyes of Magistrate Zhang, Mo Cheng is risking the destruction of the rare treasure to save the area from famine in a few months.
With the existence of rare treasures, the quality and activity of spiritual energy are close to the level of immortal caves, and the earth will be revitalized.
For the people in this area, this is tantamount to eliminating the famine that they will inevitably face in a few months. Although they will go hungry for a while in the next few months due to lack of food, it will not reach the level of famine, and at least they can survive.
…
The next day, Mo Cheng stood at the highest point of the city wall, holding a six-pointed star ice crystal, and activated the [Arcane Aura] at the same time.
Under Mo Cheng's urging, the quality and activity of the spiritual energy began to triple jump. A large amount of spiritual energy was born from the cold wind and fell into the surrounding land that was deprived of vitality. The land that was almost desertified began to clump under the action of the spiritual energy, and gradually traces of green emerged from under the earth.
This area, whose vitality had been devoured by the undercurrent, is now rapidly recovering.
The hexagram ice crystal in Mo Cheng's hand was spinning rapidly, emitting bursts of clear light. To others, this was undoubtedly urging the strange treasure to save the area.
Some people's eyes were filled with admiration, because they knew very well that if it were them, there would be no way they would be so decisive and easily use it as the foundation of a thousand-year-old family, sect, or even a dynasty.
However, some people looked at Mo Cheng with scheming eyes.
Inside the restaurant, a scholar wearing a feather fan and a long scarf looked towards the city wall and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mo Cheng, Mo Shouxin, they are truly sincere gentlemen."
Ask yourself, if you were to obtain a rare treasure, the last thing you would do is to use it on the land beneath your feet.
However, the scholar's admiration attracted some objections from people with different opinions, "Humph, holding a rare treasure with a damaged body is like a three-year-old child holding gold in a busy market. Now he is showing the magic of the rare treasure in front of the world..."
The speaker was a blind man with his eyes covered with a cloth and holding a bamboo cane. "Within half a decade, I'm afraid he will die in a corner somewhere."
