Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

At this time, the news of Xianyang's failed attempt to pray for rain had already reached the ears of the remnants of the six kingdoms in Longxi.

They were extremely excited after hearing the news. Dozens of nobles from the six countries rushed to Longxi overnight, trying to take this opportunity to restore their country.

In the huge palace, the noble representatives of the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei gathered together, their eyes flashing with excitement. Although the six kingdoms had been destroyed, their dream of restoring their kingdoms had never died out.

"Xianyang's prayer for rain failed. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

A royal noble of Wei State leaned on the table excitedly and spoke passionately.

"That's right! Now the disaster in Longxi is out of control, and many people are displaced. As long as we resist the tyranny of Qin at this time, we will surely get a lot of support!" Other nobles also echoed.

Only one man sat there, thinking silently.

After a long time, someone finally noticed him - Xiang Liang, the leader of the Chu State's anti-Qin alliance.

Xiang Liang took a deep breath, looked at the people present and said in a deep voice: "Now is indeed the best time to take action. Ying Zheng is threatened by the Xiongnu in the north and the Donghu and Yuezhi in the west. Longxi is the granary of Qin and they will not dare to act rashly. If we can succeed here, the opportunity to restore the country will be infinitely expanded!"

After hearing Xiang Liang's words, many remnants of the six kingdoms were very excited. They seemed to have seen the hope of restoring their country right before their eyes.

So they all expressed their willingness to use all their accumulated strength to incite the victims to resist the tyranny of Qin.

Following Xiang Liang's order, dozens of remnants of the six kingdoms took action separately. They infiltrated Longxi, quickly gathered a large number of refugees, and raised the banner of resistance against Xianyang.

In just one day and one night, more than a dozen Qin officials were beheaded, and the situation in Longxi began to become unstable.

Accompanied by shouts, the remnants of the six countries took action one after another. They took advantage of the opportunity when the Qin soldiers were busy with disaster relief and launched sneak attacks on several towns.

These remnant forces united and absorbed refugees, using the banner of resisting the tyranny of Qin and saving the people, intending to incite greater unrest against the backdrop of the severe drought in Longxi.

The news quickly spread to the Qin court, shocking all officials. Although they had previously learned that the remnants of the six kingdoms might take advantage of the drought in Longxi to cause trouble, most people just thought they were making trouble out of nothing and wanted to cause trouble for Qin.

However, to everyone's surprise, the remnants of the six countries actually dared to take advantage of the opportunity to seek restoration of their country!
"How dare they do such a thing!" one minister cried out in astonishment.

"The people in Longxi are already living in poverty, and these shameless people are taking the opportunity to incite the people to rebel. This is outrageous!" another minister condemned angrily.

In the city of Xianyang, the Qin Empire, countless ministers finally began to realize the seriousness of the situation. At this moment, they had no time to care about Xu Fu's affairs, and their faces were solemn. Even Li Si showed a murderous intention after hearing the news.

Although it was a relief that Xu Fu was thrown into prison, the current problem was that the drought in Longxi had not yet been alleviated. These abominable remnants of the six kingdoms chose to seek restoration at this time, which was undoubtedly a great provocation to the Qin Dynasty.

However, sending troops to suppress the rebellion now would undoubtedly make things worse for the people of Longxi. The people finally got a chance to breathe, and if they were to fall into war again, they would suffer endlessly.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Li Si threw the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, with a cold look in his eyes.

"These remnants of the six nations don't care about the lives of the people at all!" he roared angrily, "They have been trying to restore their country time and time again. Do you know how much harm this will bring to the people?"

At this time, Ying Zheng announced the convening of a court meeting. In the golden palace, the imperial majesty was overwhelming, and all officials took their positions, looking worried. Ying Zheng sat high on the throne, his expression calm, but the majesty he exuded made all officials feel awed.

He spoke slowly, his voice spreading throughout the hall: "I believe that all of you have already known about the remnant forces of the six kingdoms in Longxi." Although Ying Zheng had not made a clear statement, the hearts of the officials of the Qin Dynasty had already sunk. They had followed Ying Zheng for many years, so they could naturally hear the coldness in his words.

Ying Zheng continued, "These remnants of the six kingdoms seem to have forgotten how our Great Qin rose to power. How dare they rebel?" As he spoke, his eyes were as cold as a deep pool, causing the ministers below to shudder.

Then, Ying Zheng decisively ordered: "Wang Jian, Meng Tian, ​​I appoint you as the left and right generals to suppress the rebellion. Lead 300,000 elite Qin cavalry to suppress the rebellion! No matter who dares to resist the Qin, they will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were trembling. They knew that a bloody storm was coming. However, they were also angry and helpless about the despicable behavior of the remnant forces of the six countries. These remnant forces took advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters to win over innocent people, and their behavior was outrageous.

The army quickly assembled, and Ying Zheng's anger can be imagined. This time he will dispatch 300,000 troops to suppress the rebels in Longxi. This is undoubtedly a large-scale military operation. Soldiers gathered from all directions, with armor like a forest, spears like a forest, and murderous intent. The entire area outside Xianyang was filled with deafening shouts of killing, which was terrifying.

However, just as the army was about to set out, the animals in Xianyang City suddenly became extremely excited...

Free-range chickens and ducks are roaming freely, old cows are working hard in the fields, and pigs and geese are rolling around in the mud...

Even the war horses in the army began to shake their hooves restlessly, neighing loudly and looking up at the sky.

Everyone was shocked by the news that Ying Zheng was about to send troops, only one or two old men occasionally looked up at the sky in confusion.

"Is the wind picking up?"

As time went by, in the depths of the Tianlao under the city of Xianyang, Xu Fu, who was lying on the ground waiting for death, suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation!

This indescribable fluctuation is exactly the same as what I noticed before!
Just as Xu Fu got up from the ground listlessly, something in his arms suddenly flashed with light.

"Ok?"

Xu Fu was stunned and subconsciously took out the item.

However, the next moment his eyes widened in shock!

"what on earth is it?!"

The object in his hand was exactly the formation pattern he had carved on the jade a week ago!
At this moment, it actually...lit up? !

A faint light shone on Xu Fu's face, reflecting his astonished expression.

Looking at the glowing jade, Xu Fu slapped himself in disbelief.

"Snapped!"

The sharp pain in his cheek reminded him that this was not a dream.

Xu Fu stared blankly at the lit runes on the jade, his mouth gradually opening wide!

This feeling... is exactly the same as the fluctuation I felt before!
He didn't know yet that what he carved was not a rain-making formation!
Rather, it was a five-element water defense formation that Yang Ling had carved to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to absorb the earth's milky stone marrow!
By accident, Xu Fu expanded this formation several times and engraved it in the city of Xianyang!

However, the formation he hastily carved lacked many details and lost its defensive function, leaving only the power of condensing the five elements of water.

Coincidentally, this just fits the wish for rain.

The easiest way to condense the five elements of water is to make it rain.

But Xu Fu was not a Qi Refiner, and there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body, so he could not activate the formation.

However, as Yang Ling broke through not far away, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emanated from him was injected into the formation...

Let the formation that was originally unusable be gradually activated!
A faint light began to gather on the jade formation!
Under Xu Fu's astonished gaze, a rain cloud the size of a human head slowly appeared in the cell!

Seeing this scene, not only Xu Fu was stunned, but even more than a dozen alchemists in the cell next to him were stunned!

Their eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the lit runes and the gathering rain clouds.

“This, this, this…what’s going on?!”

"Why is this rune lighting up?" "It even condensed into a rain cloud?"

“Isn’t this just a random drawing?!”

"It actually works?!"

A group of alchemists surrounded Xu Fu in shock.

"Xu Shi, you..."

"what is going on?"

Xu Fu was also confused at this time, but before he could answer, he suddenly shivered!

At this moment, he had a strong feeling!

It was as if all the runes he had engraved in Xianyang had come alive!

It was as if some kind of power had been injected into it, and it was...activated!!
Xu Fu suddenly looked up, leaned on the railing and looked towards the direction of the unnamed mountains in Tongyu County!

Could it be that the suspected master in Tongyu Mountain took action? !

Xu Fu could not sense the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he had an inexplicable feeling.

It was as if a mysterious force was shrouding his formation!
Then, through the formation, it covered the sky above Daqin from afar and spread to the entire Longxi and Zhongche County!
Xu Fu opened his eyes, a little confused.

But then the jade in his hand began to emit a dazzling light!

At this moment, Xu Fu seemed to understand something.

The jade in his hand was not engraved with any scribbles or random carvings!

But it is a real magic circle!
It is a genuine rain-making formation!

But for some reason it wasn’t activated before, but now... it’s activated!

Could it be that this formation was really left by a master?
Is the white shadow I saw near Tongyu really a master?

Is this a help from an expert?
Feeling the indescribable power, Xu Fu swallowed his saliva, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind!

However, he soon looked up at the sky!
The next moment, the situation suddenly changed!

The originally cloudless sky suddenly became windy and covered with dark clouds within a few minutes, and the sky and the earth were dark!
Huge dark clouds covered the vast sky and earth as if doomsday was coming!
Faced with this sudden change, everyone was stunned!

Countless soldiers in black armor outside the city of Xianyang looked up in confusion, and many officials also looked around curiously.

Even Ying Zheng, who was standing on the top of Xianyang City, suddenly looked up at the sky, his pupils contracted!
'Crack! ! '

Dark clouds are pressing overhead and thunder is rolling.

At this moment, people in countless counties and prefectures of Daqin subconsciously raised their heads.

They stared blankly at the dark clouds in the sky, their pupils suddenly dilated!

How is this going?

Is it going to rain?
As soon as this thought came to mind, a drop of rain fell from the sky.

'Tick-tock...'

On a dry land in Longxi, Daqin, a thin middle-aged man was swinging a hoe with sweat pouring down his face.

Sweat was pouring down, but the man showed no sign of stopping.

This was the last bit of food left in his family.

If it died again, he would have to survive on tree bark and relief food throughout the long winter.

He might be able to survive on tree bark and roots, but what about his pregnant wife and feeding children at home?
However, looking at the seedlings that were almost dead no matter how much he loosened the soil, the man swung the hoe slower and slower, and finally stopped.

He looked at the scorching sun and the dry land, tears suddenly flowed down his face, and he knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying.

In the field not far away, there was also a skinny old man.

His lips were cracked and he was kneeling by the well, shivering as he lifted the bucket of water.

But looking at the empty bucket and the dry wellhead, he could only collapse to the ground with lifeless eyes.

This situation is not only happening in this village, the entire Longxi is shrouded in an inescapable drought.

The earth dried up, the rivers dried up, the well water disappeared, and even the Yellow River began to shrink and flow thinly.

People tried their best to survive. Some fought for a drink of water, some took risks for food, and some even picked up knives and guns.

However, more middle-aged men and elderly people could only kneel blankly on their own dry and broken fields, with depressed expressions and desperate eyes.

Just when everyone was almost in despair, a thunder suddenly resounded through the sky, awakening the heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, a drop of rain fell from the sky, broke through the sky and landed on people's faces.

The sudden rain made people excited and they all looked up at the sky, expecting more rain to come.

Sure enough, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, slowly but surely, and instantly turned into a downpour.

The sky was filled with dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down. It seemed as if the sky was collapsing and the sea currents were flowing back!

The rainstorm covered the entire Zhongche County and Longxi. All counties, lands and people were shrouded in the rainstorm.

The pure rain, like life-saving nectar, made the people of Longxi burst into tears. They knelt on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, wailing loudly, "It's raining, it's finally raining!" At this moment, the despair in the hearts of countless people was washed away by the rain, leaving only hope for the future and gratitude to God.

For the remnants of the six nations who were preparing to revolt, this heavy rain undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on them.

Looking at the dark clouds and heavy rain, their faces turned ugly. The arrival of heavy rain not only alleviated the disaster, but also made the Longxi refugees who were incorporated into the organization begin to waver.

In the end, these refugees dropped their weapons and ran back to their hometown.

In the city of Xianyang, many Qin officials looked up at the sky in shock. "It's raining!" The heavy rain lasted for a whole day and night. Although the heavy rain in Longxi lasted only half a day and then dissipated, it had greatly alleviated the drought problem in Longxi. (End of this chapter)
