The dark clouds grew larger and larger, eventually enveloping the entire mountaintop.

Golden rays of light pierced through the dark clouds, just like sunlight.

A moment later, an even more surprising scene unfolded.

The dark clouds flew towards Hecheng, covering the city and enveloping the surrounding area for miles.

"Why did it suddenly get dark?"

The refugees who were building houses outside all looked up.

"Look, it's dark clouds, dark clouds are drifting over."

Everyone looked up at the approaching dark clouds, their eyes filled with surprise.

"It's a dark cloud, it's going to rain, it's finally going to rain."

"That's great, that's great."

The people cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Boom!"

Besides the golden light, there was also lightning and thunder in the dark clouds.

A sudden gust of wind swept away the scorching heat of the earth, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Then a drop of rain fell from the sky.

Then one drop, then two drops, until the rain poured down.

"Hahaha, that's great! God has opened his eyes."

"It's raining, it's raining."

"Mother, look, it's raining."

Joy erupted both inside and outside the city, and even Yuan Zhengqi and the others looked up.

"The old man has finally seen the light."

The nineteenth person on the mountaintop was too shocked to speak.

It took him a while to find his voice.

"Smack!"

A resounding slap landed on his face.

"Holy crap, it's really raining, I'm not dreaming."

Nineteen rubbed his eyes again, still not believing in the superstition. The rain continued in the distance, and the dark clouds were still gathering, showing no sign of dissipating.

He touched the other rain-summoning talismans in his pocket and instantly came back to his senses.

"This rain-summoning talisman is genuine. Master Liaowu truly deserves to be called an enlightened monk."

Nineteen was filled with emotion, and then he thought of Emperor Jing's instructions.

"Two rain-summoning talismans for each city, one for towns and one for mountains and forests."

So he took out another rain-summoning talisman and threw it into the sky as well.

He was very casual about the first one, but this time he was very serious.

This rain is a matter of life and death for the people of the South.

Fortunately, it did not disappoint him; the same dark clouds as before quickly gathered.

However, the dark clouds did not head towards the city, but instead spread from the mountaintop towards other mountain ranges.

Rain pattered down from the sky, and unfortunately, Nineteen was soaked to the bone.

Clutching the talisman in his arms, he quickly found a place to shelter from the rain.

After Yuan Zhengqi and his group finished dealing with things here, they continued on their way.

The rain in Hecheng lasted for more than half a month before it stopped.

The river flows gently, and the parched land is revitalized.

...

The Imperial Palace in the capital.

Jing Le successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and the Merit Mall even created a separate category for him.

According to the explanation from the Merit System, this is because Jing Le reached the Nascent Soul stage, and the system also upgraded accordingly.

This classification is based on the evolution of the world today.

At first, Jing Le didn't know why, but after opening this separate category, she understood.

Because all the items in the separate category are things that this world needs.

For example, high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are not currently available in Dayong.

It also comes with seeds and planting instructions, which is very comprehensive.

Of course, besides these, there are other crop seeds and planting methods.

However, all of them require merit points to purchase.

Jing Le glanced at his merit points. Hmm, 5400 points. He could afford it.

Just then, a huge golden light of merit surged into Jing Le's body.

The merit system also started beeping.

[Ding! Solved the rain-seeking problem for the people of Hecheng. Reward: 1000 merit points. Total merit points: 6400.]

"Pray for rain?"

It seems the rain-summoning talisman worked.

I didn't expect to earn merit points; it was an unexpected bonus.

"Indeed, helping the people is the fastest way to gain merit points."

Jing Le thought to herself with delight, then waved her hand and bought a large quantity of sweet potato, potato, and corn seeds at the mall.

Including the planting method, it cost Jing Le a total of 2000 merit points.

[Ding, 2000 merit points deducted, remaining merit points: 4400, 1400 merit points available for upgrading.]

(Last time, Jing Le spent 5,000 merit points to advance to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This time, he only has 1,400 merit points to use for leveling up. The rest can only be used for shopping.)

However, she has accumulated a great deal of merit now.

Moreover, although improving one's strength requires merit points, one can level up as long as that value is reached.

It doesn't matter if the merit points are spent.

Jing Le looked at the seeds in the room and the planting instructions on the table, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"How am I supposed to explain all this to my father?"

We need to find a plausible reason to convince Father Emperor that this product can guarantee the people's livelihood.

[In fact, with these three crops, the people of Dayong would no longer have to worry about going hungry, and the soldiers on the border would be able to enjoy a proper New Year.]

After all, there are still more than half a year left until the end of the year. If the disasters in the north and south are resolved, it will be a good time to plant these three crops.

Just as Jing Le was lost in thought, Emperor Jing, who was outside the courtyard, was suddenly jolted.

The white tiger had already spotted Emperor Jing, but since Emperor Jing was just standing outside the courtyard and didn't come over to disturb his master, it didn't take it seriously.

Emperor Jing stopped only after hearing Jing Le's voice.

Can three types of crops ensure people's livelihood?

Emperor Jing was extremely curious, and he wanted to immediately say: You don't need to explain, I will believe whatever you show me.
