Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Wen looked at the information displayed on the stone tablet. He discovered that in addition to merit and incense, there was extra information on the stone tablet.
"Upgrade divine position? What is this?" Jiang Wen looked at the newly emerged text and tried to upgrade his divine position.
【 Spend 100,000 merit points to upgrade your divine position? 】
"…" Jiang Wen's eyes widened. He didn't expect upgrading his divine position to consume so many merit points.
One hundred thousand merit points! This was the merit he gained from extinguishing a killing calamity and saving the lives of people within a hundred miles.
How could it only be enough to upgrade a divine position?
He should know that the supernatural powers he exchanged before only cost six hundred merit points. What kind of supernatural power could these one hundred thousand merit points exchange for?!
Looking down, the clouds and mist filled the air like a fairyland, and a pool of spring water gurgled, churning with clouds and mist.
Celestial maidens offered gifts, and dragons and phoenixes presented auspicious signs. The sea of consciousness, which originally only had a divine statue and a stone tablet, suddenly had light, expanding into an area the size of a football field.
Jiang Wen looked again, and his sea of consciousness had already changed completely.
Jiang Wen followed his gaze and saw a child of about twelve or thirteen years old looking at him with disheveled hair and a dirty face. In those watery eyes, there was a plea.
Withdrawing from his sea of consciousness, he found that his Niwan Palace seemed to have grown a lot, more than twice as large as when he first entered the path of cultivation. The circulation of mana was several times faster than before, and even the recovery speed was doubled.
"Upgrade!" Jiang Wen gritted his teeth and decided to upgrade his divine position.
The originally seated divine statue was wrapped in a layer of golden light, and countless bells and drum sounds of Taoism rang in his ears. The seven-colored light behind the immortal statue scattered, transforming into countless divine women and immortal beasts surrounding him.
"Little one, what's the matter?" Jiang Wen asked gently.
The coachman pointed to the child next to the carriage and asked Jiang Wen.
Eating grass roots and leaves can only barely maintain strength. Excessive hunger requires proper conditioning.
【 Dao Lineage: None 】
"My sister is about to starve to death…" the little girl said with a sob. "As long as you, sir, are willing to save her, I am willing to do anything."
After admiring the divine statue, he looked at the stone tablet next to the statue. Compared to before, it was much taller, and the material had also become more advanced.
"Could it be a third eye?" Jiang Wen rubbed his brow and thought to himself.
Next to a dirt pit, many disaster victims were lying weakly. Some were eating withered grass, some were gnawing on bark, and some were mothers holding their children, looking blankly at the sky. This scene made Jiang Wen feel a little unbearable, but he didn't have any good solutions right now.
The stone tablet also didn't give an explanation, it should be for him to explore on his own.
Checking the information on the stone tablet, the display had a few more lines.
Many people looked malnourished and weak due to lack of nutrition.
Organizing his gains, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Daoist priest, the carriage has been stopped," the coachman's voice came into the carriage. After hearing this, Jiang Wen lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"Yes, it's that serious. I heard people say that the imperial court has sent real people from the Taishen Palace to pray for rain, but the real people fled back to the capital in a panic and warned the world not to go against the will of heaven," the coachman said sympathetically.
There was a bulging feeling between his eyebrows, as if something was about to come out.
"What's going on?" Jiang Wen asked, looking at the disaster victims in confusion.
"Where are your parents?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Please save my sister, please save her," the child heard Jiang Wen's words and quickly approached him. The tender and clear voice sounded like a little girl.
"Am I that handsome?" Jiang Wen was quite pleased with himself.
"Stop crying first, take me to see," Jiang Wen gestured for the coachman to stay where he was. He got out of the carriage and followed the little girl to the refugees' resting place.
Many gods and men in myths have three eyes. Legend has it that in ancient times, humans also had three eyes. Humans at that time had their own magical powers and could sense disasters like animals. Later, they slowly degenerated, and the three eyes disappeared. This is one of the reasons why humans cannot feel the arrival of earthquakes or other disasters, while animals can.
Although this scene was not large, it had the meaning of a fairy palace.
【 True God: Unnamed 】
【 Merit: 6,000 】
"It's actually that serious?" Jiang Wen felt that this matter was not simple. He should know that this was a world with cultivators. If it was just a drought, any cultivator who could pray for rain could solve this matter, how could it be that it hasn't rained for half a day.
"Please save my sister," the little girl pleaded.
A strange smell rushed into his nose. Because he hadn't bathed for a long time, the child's body had a rancid smell. Jiang Wen frowned slightly and turned to avoid the strange smell.
"They should be refugees fleeing from the north, they are going to the southern city," the coachman replied. "I heard that there was a drought there, and it hasn't rained a drop for half a year. The crops in the fields are worthless, and the people have nothing to eat."
Everyone's faces were numb, as if they had suffered some disaster.
On the originally wide official road, densely packed refugees were walking crowdedly. They were dirty, dressed in tattered clothes, and their eyes were dull as they moved forward with the crowd.
The divine statue was sitting cross-legged on the white jade throne in the center, draped in clouds and with five-colored divine light behind it. On both sides of the divine statue were divine trees, the trunks black and white, like jade but not jade. However, there were no leaves on the branches yet, and the budding sprouts could be seen.
"They died early…" the little girl said in a low voice, her expression very sad. "Only me and my sister are left."
The little girl led Jiang Wen to a young girl, who was lying weakly on the ground with her eyes closed.
【 Incense: 23,600 】
Staring at the unpleasant smell, Jiang Wen checked the young girl's condition. Because of the lack of food, the little girl was severely malnourished. In this era, food was indeed a precious thing.
"Okay," Jiang Wen agreed without hesitation. He took out a nutritional tablet from his storage bag, mixed it with water, and fed it to the little girl. Then he picked up the little girl and walked towards the carriage.
"Come back with me," Jiang Wen said. The little girl was stunned at first, and then burst into tears of joy.
"Thank you, sir! Moxian will never forget your great kindness for the rest of her life."
