699 The Entire Village’s Improvement (2)
Seeing this move, everyone could not help but exclaim, “Young Master is so powerful!”
“Eat. You’ll get what you want.” Song Shi said calmly.
Everyone looked at the porridge in front of them. Everyone could take a big bite. They swallowed it in one gulp with their mouths wide open and swallowed it in a few reserved mouthfuls.
After eating, they were filled with anticipation. They did not know what effect this bit of porridge had, but from Song Shi’s words, it was beneficial.
In the next moment, everyone felt a warm current surge out of their abdomens and their bodies felt warm.
“This porridge is indeed extraordinary.”
“Young Master must have added something good.”
“Hurry up and absorb it.”
One by one, the villagers sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated their energy. It could be seen that everyone knew how to cultivate, be it from the outside or from the local area.
Song Shi smiled and secretly activated the rules to increase his attributes according to everyone’s situation.
He replenished whatever they lacked. If their Spiritual strength was not strong enough, he would increase their Spiritual strength.
If their body was deficient or old or weak, he would increase their vitality and strengthen their physical attributes.
For those with poor cultivation levels, if their Genuine Qi and True Essence were not pure enough, they would help purify them.
In short, he was checking to make up for the shortcomings and help solidify everyone’s foundation first.
To him, these people’s cultivation levels were still low and their foundations were not solid enough. In the future, they would not be qualified to break through to a higher realm. Then, they would lose the value of continuing to study.
The result of the targeted increase was that after some people’s faces were filled with wrinkles because of their vitality, their faces immediately became rosy and lusterless, and their wrinkles decreased.
Such representatives were the village chief and some old people. Without exception, their complexions were rosy and their vitality had increased.
The village chief was stunned. “This… why does this porridge feel like a life-prolonging spiritual medicine? I feel like I’ve become younger.”
“Me too. I gained 20 more years of lifespan out of thin air.”
The feces-collector old man had a look of disbelief.
“I’ve recovered from my internal injuries. My cultivation is no longer stagnant.”
The burly man who raised pigs in the village looked shocked.
“I’m the same as you. My situation is even more serious. Back then, my Dantian was crippled by my enemy. Now, it’s actually healed!”
Tie Datou was so excited that he cried.
Some people’s hidden injuries had been treated for many years, and their auras had become thicker. When they had enough foundation, they could improve it. These were people who had once been seriously injured and their foundations had been damaged.
They all had the illusion of being reborn.
“When I cultivated the demonic technique back then, my foundation was unstable. I originally thought that I would never have the chance to make up for it in my life. I didn’t expect that a mouthful of porridge would solve it for me.”
The farmer was a little stunned.
Not only him, but several of their cultivation levels had also become purer. They had once taken a shortcut and their foundations had become unstable, causing the Genuine Qi in their bodies to become chaotic.
On the other hand, Xu Hongniang’s Spiritual strength had increased greatly. Her mind cleared up and her eyes lit up. She looked at Song Shi and said, “Back then, I was injured and my Spiritual strength was lacking. Young Master, your porridge can actually recover.”
“Young Master’s porridge is omnipotent. Some of us recover from our old injuries, some increase our lifespan, and some refine their cultivation… Even spirit pills don’t have such an effect.”
The village chief’s expression was extremely respectful.
“Every year, every one of you has a chance to eat porridge. You can choose different seasons to come over. There’s no need to squeeze together.”
Song Shi looked at everyone and said, “Consider this a benefit from staying here.”
Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard that. They were shocked that Song Shi was actually willing to give them a second chance. They were happy that they still had a chance to improve.
The village chief said excitedly, “Young Master Song, you’re too good. On behalf of all the villagers, I thank you.”
Song Shi accepted the gratitude and added, “Remember, next time, use your best things as the price for eating porridge. I don’t ask for anything precious, but I want the best in your hands, understand?”
“That’s only right. If we don’t take out the most precious thing, what right do we have to let the Young Master use such a Divine Power to help us improve?”
The village chief said matter-of-factly, and the others hurriedly echoed.
“Lastly, this matter is only known to the people in the village. If anyone tells anyone, you can resolve it yourselves. I hope it won’t be me who resolves it.”
Song Shi’s words were a little cold. Everyone’s smiles faded a little as they nodded.
Such an unbelievable method was definitely not suitable to be publicized outside. That would not be beneficial to them.
“Alright, go back and digest the gains this time. Those who are willing to eat porridge can wait for the start of winter to come over.”
Song Shi waved his hand. The reason why he gave everyone a chance to improve every year was to set the rules. Not only would it not make him appear too casual, but he could also collect some things without having to go through the trouble.
There was no longer any point in strengthening ordinary items. He was prepared to strengthen treasures, especially the existence of treasures.
After a night of experimentation, he confirmed that the effect of strengthening the attributes of the item not only depended on him but also on the quality of the item itself.
He had strengthened most of the ordinary things in the surroundings. It would be more interesting to get some good ones to continue experimenting.
“Young Master, thank you for helping me regain my life.”
“Thank you for letting me live another 20 years and have a chance to improve further.”
“Thank you, Young Master, for reshaping my foundation.”
Before the villagers left, everyone personally thanked Song Shi.
Song Shi enjoyed these things. At the very least, it meant that these people were not ingrates.
After everyone left, Song Shi continued to study how to add points.
The villagers returned to their homes and spread the news further. They got the others to quickly prepare gifts.
Everyone began to digest the benefits they had obtained this time. After obtaining life force to extend their lifespan, they began to save time and cultivate diligently. They wanted to make a breakthrough so that their lifespan could increase even more.
After repairing internal injuries, they would recover their strength. After they recovered, they could break through to a higher realm.
The day their foundation was reconstructed, they broke through from Postnatal martial artists to Connate Grandmasters.
The recovery of hidden injuries improved even more. Half a month after recovering to their peak state, they broke through from Connate Grandmasters to the level of a Grandmasters and became top experts in the village.
As for the original grandmasters like the Village Chief, their strength had improved another step.
The others saw that they had obtained benefits. Those who did not go back then began to prepare seriously. This time, they did not dare to exchange ordinary things for such benefits and took out their treasures.
They tried their best to call back those who had left the village to adventure. Those who really did not come back naturally missed them.
The people who stayed in the village more or less had some wealth. After making preparations, Song Shi saw many good things on the day that marked the start of winter. They were no longer ordinary items.
Among the various gifts, there was a thousand-year-old ginseng, materials that could be used to refine Dharma treasures, cultivation techniques, Divine Powers, medicinal pills, talismans, and other special items.
Song Shi did not know that these villagers had so many things in their houses and was pleasantly surprised.
He did not ask about the origin of the items and still cooked porridge for the remaining people according to his promise. In fact, the porridge was only on the surface. What really changed everyone’s attributes was the Rule Force that Song Shi had secretly influenced.
Most of the people who received points were young people. To Song Shi, he mainly focused on improving their foundation. With a solid foundation, one could naturally go far.
After winter started, everyone could be considered to have been strengthened and added points once, so their strength naturally increased greatly.
In just one village, the number of Grandmasters exceeded five. Grandmasters were even more common, and Postnatal martial artists were ordinary.
Such strength was not inferior to a faction like the Black Wind Sect outside.
If Song Shi was included, not many factions could compare to him.
He carried out the second batch of strengthening experiments with the villagers’ treasures. All the treasures were easily upgraded, but Song Shi also encountered a problem.
For example, cultivation techniques and Divine Powers could not be strengthened unless he optimized them himself. It was impossible to change them purely from the alteration of rules.
He knew that this was a relatively complicated strengthening. The current situation was not suitable.
Even though his methods were not perfect in terms of adding points to creatures and inanimate objects, he had already become a god-like existence. He could easily increase the strength of the entire village and make chickens and dogs ascend to the heavens.
Compared to being an Immortal Emperor who dominated a world outside, he felt a sense of accomplishment here. This was because he could easily affect the rules and cheat. In the real world outside, although he had not personally tried it, the difficulty would definitely increase greatly.
