C1953 Mushroom City Disaster
Chen Shaofeng felt that there was no point in staying in the Seeking Sect any longer.
Although there seemed to be some unexcavated relics in the Awakening Sect, Chen Shaofeng was not that interested.
Chen Shaofeng took the initiative to tell River He that he was leaving today.
River He was very disappointed when he heard this. She still hoped that Chen Shaofeng could stay for a few more days, and it would be best if he and her granddaughter, Jade Spirit, could get married.
In the beginning, River He had thought that there was still hope for his granddaughter. But now, with Chen Shaofeng's strength, he probably wasn't interested in the entire Seeking Sect.
"Since Young Master Chen is leaving, should we bid farewell to my granddaughter Ling'er?" River He said.
"No need, just tell me on my behalf, Master Jiang." Chen Shaofeng said.
"That's a pity …" River He could see Chen Shaofeng's determination. He probably wasn't interested in her granddaughter at all.
"Right, Young Master Chen, recently Mushroom City suffered a disaster, do you know?" River He said.
"This... I don't know yet. " Chen Shaofeng had been busy the whole time, so he didn't pay much attention to the latest intelligence.
The relationship between the Mushroom Cloud City and the Seeking Sect was quite good. Recently, there had been a disaster in the Mushroom Cloud City. Although River He wanted to help, he was unable to do much.
Even the mayor of the city had no way to save this disaster. He could only watch on helplessly.
After witnessing Chen Shaofeng's capabilities, River He felt that the calamity in the Cloud Mushroom City might just be a small matter to Chen Shaofeng.
"If Young Master Chen is interested, I hope that you can help. There are a large number of mortals living in the city, and this time, they were the ones that suffered the most. They might not even be able to eat a full meal." River He said.
"It's actually like this? "Then I'll go and take a look." Chen Shaofeng said.
With that, Chen Shaofeng left the Will Seeking Sect.
… ….
Mushroom Cloud City.
Mushroom City was an agricultural city, and its main purpose was to manage crops.
This was one of the food-producing cities, so it was not very eye-catching.
There were many mortals in the city, and most of the people who worked here were also mortals.
Most cultivators didn't need to do farm work; they could directly use immortal arts to let the crops grow.
This kind of cultivators belonged to the logistics cultivators and were engaged in production-type work.
Most of these cultivators were of poor quality, the Immortal Elemental Energy did not have much storage and their combat ability was worrisome, so they worked together with the mortals.
However, there were also cultivators at the Martial Immortal Stage level. Most of these cultivators were skilled in healing immortal arts, and at the same time, were Wooden Dao cultivators.
Some carefully cultivated crops were also of extremely high nutritional value. For example, for martial cultivators who wanted to improve their physique, these delicate ingredients were essential and very expensive at the same time.
Some crops could also be used as materials to refine pill.
In short, to Five Elements Realm, Mushroom Cloud City was a food-producing city that stored food.
However, recently, a strange thing happened in Mushroom City.
There were a lot of farmlands that did not produce any food. No matter what they did, their harvest would be very little.
Even if there were cultivators proficient in agriculture inspecting it, they would still be unable to find any results.
The city lord of Mushroom City, Feng Li, personally went to the fields, but after some investigation, he came up empty-handed.
With no other choice, Feng Li could only hire some agricultural cultivators from the big cities to investigate.
The person's name was Huang Zhi, and his cultivation had reached the level of the early Heavenly Immortal Stage.
In terms of fighting ability, Huang Zhi's fighting strength could not even take a single blow, it was hard to say if he could defeat the Martial Immortal Stage Cultivator.
However, in terms of agricultural ability, Huang Zhi had a bit of a reputation.
"Mr. Huang, you're finally here. My Mushroom City's farmland has been without food for many days already!" Feng Li saw Huang Zhi and immediately began talking.
Even though Huang Zhi was only a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, he was treated with respect by Feng Li.
Huang Zhi was a rare agricultural cultivator, and at the same time, he had reached the level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. This was a very rare existence in the Five Elements Realm.
Generally speaking, those with Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivation would not engage in this sort of business.
After all, even if a cultivator didn't eat, he would still be able to live. As long as he cultivated for a bit, he wouldn't have to worry about starving himself to death.
Most of the food was for cultivators, or for mortals to live on.
Huang Zhi was not practicing the skill, agriculture, but majoring in it! Therefore, he was much more proficient in agriculture than many Wooden Dao cultivators.
Seeing Feng Li being so courteous, Huang Zhi couldn't possibly be too arrogant. After all, he was just a Heavenly Immortal cultivator. He politely bowed and said: "City Lord, please let me rest for a bit before we begin our investigation."
"Then I'll leave it all to you!" Feng Li Dao.
Immediately, Huang Zhi took out a notebook from the storage bag.
"City Lord, may I ask how many days has it been since Mushroom City has produced grain?" Huang Zhi asked.
"I'm afraid I'll have to continue for a full eighteen days." Feng Li replied.
"Then what happened eighteen days ago?" Huang Zhi asked again.
"No!" "Not at all. On the other hand, there was an earthquake a month ago. However, after investigation, the lack of food in the farmlands seems to have nothing to do with this." Feng Li Dao.
Hearing this, Huang Zhi could not help but frown.
There was something fishy about this.
Everything was fine. Why was Mushroom Cloud no longer producing food?
After asking Feng Li some questions, Huang Zhi stopped writing.
According to Feng Li's introduction, there didn't seem to be any problems with the city.
Other than these 30 million mu of farmland, which could not be used to produce food, other farmland could still be used to produce food.
Keeping the notebook, Huang Zhi took out a seed.
This seed was nothing special, it was just an ordinary vegetable seed. After Huang Zhi took it out, he buried it in the ground.
Next, Huang Zhi used the growth immortal technique on the seed.
However, there was no response from the seed.
"The farmland here is really strange!" Huang Zhi instantly realized that something was amiss.2
Huang Zhi guessed the reason and his heart very quickly shrunk to a very small size.
The only thing that could cause this kind of change in the farmlands was something harmful, just like an insect.
What was even more surprising was after a short while, the seed actually dried up and became a dead seed.
Logically speaking, when a cultivator used the growth technique on a seed, he would be able to stimulate the seed to become a tender bud, and then quickly grow it into an ordinary crop.
Generally speaking, under the control of a cultivator, an acre of land could produce food every day.
After not producing any food for a whole eighteen days, it could be seen that the losses sustained by the Mushroom Cloud City were not small.
Just as Huang Zhi was about to say something, a Heavenly Immortal cultivator suddenly descended from the sky.
It was Chen Shaofeng.
Chen Shaofeng arrived and saw a large piece of barren farmland.
There were only a few people here, two of which were Feng Li and Huang Zhi.
