Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood - Chapter 110
Chapter 110: Chapter 88 Luo Qingshan Breakthrough, The Third Viscera Refinement in Luo Family!_3
The scorching sun beat down on the land.
The temperature outside became especially searing.
For some cultivators, this was still bearable.
After all, their physical constitution was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Even if they really couldn’t withstand it, they could slightly activate their Qi-Blood Force.
By covering their bodies with Qi-Blood Force,
they could mitigate the irritating sensation of the heat.
But for ordinary people…
This scorching sun was an absolute disaster for them.
…
Outside Qingshi Town, in the cultivated agricultural fields,
Luo Chuan, as the Young Master of the Luo Family,
stood there silently.
Behind him, Hu Min, who had been the former Young Master of the Hu Family,
stood behind Luo Chuan without saying a word.
“This sunlight seems to be getting hotter as time passes…”
“It’s even become so intense that some ordinary people can hardly bear it.”
After a moment of silence, Luo Chuan was the first to break the quiet,
sounding as if he were talking to himself, yet also as if speaking softly to Hu Min, who had only recently come under his command.
“Young Master, the water level of Huai Shui…”
“seems to have started to drop as well.”
“Although the decrease isn’t by much,”
“if it continues to fall at this rate, the Huai Shui River that borders Huai Shui County might also face the risk of drying up.”
Hu Min spoke with a calm expression.
“The drop in Huai Shui’s water level is indeed a warning,” Luo Chuan nodded in silence, yet his expression revealed a sense of helplessness as he said, “But such natural disasters are often incredibly difficult to resolve… ”
…
By the side of the farmland,
Luo Chuan and Hu Min walked and talked.
After half a month’s investigation,
it turned out that Hu Min, the former Young Master of the Hu Family,
did possess some capability.
While he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about military affairs,
when it came to local governance, he could at least discuss some aspects.
Therefore, in the absence of any outstanding individuals under his command,
Luo Chuan had to keep him by his side to share some of the load.
“Hm?”
“What’s that?”
As Luo Chuan continued walking forward,
suddenly, he frowned slightly.
Right at his feet, within a plot of farmland, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something flashing by.
However, it moved too fast.
And since Luo Chuan hadn’t been paying much attention,
he failed to clearly see what flashed by before his eyes.
“It looks like locusts…”
Hu Min squatted down slightly while squinting his eyes to observe the edge of the farmland.
Then, as enlightenment dawned in his eyes and he suddenly made a move,
he caught a young locust that appeared to have hatched not long ago in his hand.
“Locusts?”
On hearing these two words, Luo Chuan’s brows furrowed deeper.
It’s often said that after a severe drought, a major disaster follows.
Though Huai Shui County is located by the river and doesn’t lack water resources as much as other regions,
the appearance of locusts…
That’s not a good sign at all!
“I hope I’m just overthinking it…”
…
Although only a few small locusts had appeared in those fields,
the scale of locusts wasn’t large.
It was still within a controllable range.
“`
However, Luo Chuan still discussed the matter in detail with his father.
“You saw locusts?”
“And the water level of Huai Shui has also fallen?”
In a room within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, Qingshi Town.
This was where Luo Ping, the Luo Family Patriarch, sat in the seat of honor.
Upon hearing these words, his brow furrowed slightly.
Small-scale locusts that were within a controllable range could be temporarily ignored.
But the falling water level of Huai Shui…
That was definitely something that merited attention.
“Has the water level of Huai Shui been falling over the past few days?”
Luo Chuan nodded silently and spoke in a low voice, “The water level of Huai Shui has fallen beyond the historic lowest levels of these past years…”
Hearing this, Luo Ping’s slightly furrowed brow deepened further.
If things were really as such, then it would be quite troublesome.
“Have any wells been dug?”
Luo Ping asked in a low voice.
“Many wells have been dug in the past few days, but the water output is not substantial.”
“If Huai Shui really dries up gradually…”
“Those wells won’t last for long…”
…
As Luo Ping and Luo Chuan spoke for a while longer in the room,
Luo Chuan quietly left the room.
And left the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
As the Young Master, especially during this time of numerous affairs,
many responsibilities naturally began to weigh on Luo Chuan’s shoulders.
…
In the blink of an eye,
three days had passed.
During these three days, the water level of Huai Shui continued to fall relentlessly.
The size of the locusts seemed to have increased quite a bit.
However, it was still under control.
Plus, locusts had been around in the previous years as well,
so the Luo Family in Qingshi Town didn’t pay too much attention to them.
…
“The temperature seems to have risen quite a bit compared to the past few days…”
In the Luo Family Ancestral Land, Qingshi Town.
Within the courtyard where Luo Changfeng was.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng sat silently under the Stone Pavilion.
Sipping the cool tea with a few ice cubes, he gazed silently at the blazing sun in the sky.
“Patriarch Changfeng, I feel…”
“that I can no longer suppress my cultivation level.”
“I estimate that I will break through today.”
Facing Luo Changfeng, Luo Qingshan, who also sat in the Stone Pavilion, spoke these words with considerable respect.
“You can’t suppress it any longer?”
“You’ll break through today?”
Luo Changfeng nodded silently and spoke in a low voice, “If you really can’t control it, then prepare, and proceed to Viscera Refinement.”
Of course, since Luo Qingshan was the type whose breakthrough came naturally,
Luo Changfeng did not ask him to take any Mirror-Breaking Elixirs or the like before breaking through.
While the Mirror-Breaking Elixir is good,
it’s certainly better not to use it if it’s not necessary.
…
In the blink of an eye, time reached deep into the night.
A bright crescent moon hung high in the sky.
With the passage of time, the temperature began to cool down.
“Did you successfully break through?”
Under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng asked the Luo Qingshan, who suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, in a low voice.
“I’ve broken through.”
Luo Qingshan nodded silently, yet there was no trace of excitement on his face.
