Chapter 176 Witness the Moment of Miracle!

Shangjing City.

When Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing came back, they happened to meet the military representatives from Tianjin, Yuquan, Longshan and other cities, who gathered at the Military Affairs Department again to borrow food and ask for help from General Wu.

The reason why they were able to gather so neatly was not because they had discussed in advance and traveled together to Shangjing City to ask for help at the same time.

Instead, they came from their respective cities one after another in the past week.

And after coming to Shangjing, they stayed in the city and did not leave, as if they would not go back without borrowing food and asking for support.

In their words.

Without borrowing food, they could not solve the famine problem in the city. They were ashamed to go back, and they could not bear to watch the tragedy of the elders in the city starving to death one after another.

To put it bluntly, it was forcing the palace.

They hoped that Shangjing City could give them some food quotas so that they could go back and save more lives.

But the problem now is that Shangjing City’s own reserve grain has begun to be stretched.

If the remaining grain was lent out, tens of millions of people in Shangjing would soon be in famine and chaos.

Therefore, Wu Songyang, the military chief, was so anxious these days.

Not only did he not sleep for several days and nights, but his mouth and eyes were obviously swollen!

"General Staff Wu, the people in Rongcheng are suffering! A few hours ago, I received news that more than a hundred people starved to death in the city yesterday!"

"We are better in Tianjin, but more than a dozen people also starved to death. If there is no more food rescue, it will be hard to say in two days!"

"And it's the same in Linhai. Some people couldn't stand the hunger and took the risk of eating some low-level monsters. Their stomachs burst directly and they died miserably..."

"General Staff Wu, help!"

"General Staff Wu, if you don't approve the grain, something big will happen in Longshan City!"

"..."

When Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing came to the door of the General Staff's office, they happened to hear a group of people surrounding General Staff Wu complaining and begging for food.

Some even cried and complained in public.

"Everyone, everyone!"

General Wu said loudly to suppress everyone's words.

"I can tell you clearly that there is really not much grain left in Shangjing City. Even if I want to, I don't have the spare energy!"

"However, you can rest assured that the Military Affairs Department is actively trying to find a way to deal with this matter!"

"To be honest, we have sent a special envoy to Luozhou City, Dongyang Province this morning!"

"Luozhou should be familiar to you, right?"

"The capital of Dongyang, the center of a major agricultural province, has extremely rich grain reserves, which will definitely solve everyone's urgent needs!"

Luozhou?

When everyone heard what Wu Songyang said, a glimmer of light appeared in their eyes.

Most of them are warriors in the Golden Body Realm. It is extremely difficult for them to fly hundreds of kilometers to Shangjing for help.

Naturally, they do not have the ability to fly directly to Luozhou City, which is thousands of kilometers away, to ask for help.

Therefore, they didn't know much about the situation in Luozhou, and they didn't know whether the granary in Dongyang Province was saved.

However, when they mentioned Luozhou, they all thought of one person involuntarily.

"If I remember correctly, Consultant Liu seems to be from Luozhou?"

"Yes, yes, I have also heard Consultant Liu's disciples mention that their hometown is in Luozhou City!"

"Oh, if only Consultant Liu were here, Consultant Liu is so powerful, there must be a way to solve the food crisis we are facing now!"

"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember that when Consultant Liu passed by our Tianjin before, he seemed to have mentioned that we should pay attention to saving food to prevent famine in the near future!"

"I also heard that Consultant Liu is special The collection manual that was sent to us seems to be designed to solve the problem of warriors competing for food with ordinary residents! "

"If it weren't for that collection manual, the food in our Longshan City would have been consumed two months ago!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to Consultant Liu, the warriors in the city have a way to fill their stomachs and not suffer from famine. Otherwise, once they riot, who can stop them?"

"..."

When Luozhou and Consultant Liu were mentioned, the people present actually forgot to continue to force General Wu to abdicate, and started talking about it on their own.

Wu Songyang saw this and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he also truly saw how amazing Liu Zimo's reputation was in the surrounding major cities.

The representatives of more than a dozen cities were all grateful to him, and no one said anything bad about him.

Their eyes were full of respect, awe and gratitude for Liu Zimo.

If Liu Zimo suddenly appeared in front of him, Wu Songyang had no doubt that these people would definitely put him aside as the chief of staff and gather around Liu Zimo!

"The relationship with the masses is so good!"

"This Liu Zimo is born to be a leader!"

"It's a pity that he doesn't seem to be interested in this, otherwise I would give him the position of chief of staff, what's the harm?"

Wu Songyang sighed softly in his heart.

He didn't feel the slightest displeasure or discomfort because Liu Zimo was gaining fame and prestige in major cities.

On the contrary, he even wished that Daxia could have more warm-hearted and powerful people like Liu Zimo!

In the end times, everyone needs such a powerful person who can bring them hope.

Like a beacon in the storm, it always illuminates the direction they are heading.

Moreover, not to mention other cities, even their Shangjing City, even he Wu Songyang, is not also grateful to Liu Zimo?

More than two months ago, if it weren't for Liu Zimo's righteousness.

He Wu Songyang, Hong Yuxun, the four pillars of the city, and the major politicians in office, might still be under the control of those soul-eating insects!

Wu Songyang didn't dare to imagine it.

If they were always controlled by soul-eating insects, after encountering this national or even global famine disaster, what would Shangjing City and the surrounding cities be like? !

Will those soul-eating insects be kind enough to help the human race through this difficult time?

You can easily get the answer by thinking with your toes!

They will only take advantage of the fire and drive all the ordinary people in the city out of the city to feed the monsters!

After all, no farm or farmer would care about sick chickens and ducks.

Even if they are keeping them for breeding, they will keep the better and stronger poultry!

Bang, bang, bang!

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Sensing the martial arts aura deliberately emitted by Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing, Wu Songyang was refreshed, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Come in!"

Squeak~!

The door opened.

Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing stepped into the room at the same time, and were about to raise their hands to salute, but were interrupted by Wu Songyang, who asked them in a hoarse voice:

"Okay, don't do these useless things, just tell me directly, what is the result of your trip?"

"Did you bring back food?"

"Did you see Consultant Liu?"

Wu Songyang asked three questions in a row, looking anxious.

When the dozen or so representatives from various cities heard that General Wu mentioned food and Consultant Liu, they stopped talking and looked up at the same time, looking at Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing.

Without asking, they could guess that these two must be the special envoys sent to Luozhou City mentioned by General Staff Wu just now.

They also wanted to know urgently whether these two special envoys had borrowed food from Luozhou.

If they did, how much could they allocate to each city?

They just complained to General Staff Wu here, even crying bitterly, but they were really not acting, nor were they deliberately exaggerating.

It was that there was really no surplus food in their city, and ordinary residents were really beginning to starve to death. The situation was already extremely critical!

Otherwise, how could they be so desperate to stay in Shangjing City and refuse to go back?

"No food!" Du Xuebing replied directly: "Although there is some surplus food in Luozhou City, it is only enough for their daily consumption, and they are unable to provide external support!"

Ah? !

Everyone's heart was instantly dark.

Some female comrades even couldn't control their tears again and cried out loud.

The last hope of getting food to save their lives seemed to be cut off!

What should they do next?

Are they really going to watch the people in their respective cities starve to death?

Wu Songyang was also worried. Just when he was about to ask Consultant Liu what he thought, he heard Du Xuebing speak again:

"However, although we didn't bring back any grain from Luozhou, we got a life-saving medicine from Consultant Liu that can fill everyone's stomach!"

As he said, Du Xueren reached into his arms, took out a box of [Satiation Pills] they brought back from the Luozhou Military Counselors Office, and handed it to Wu Songyang with both hands.

There were more than twenty [Satiation Pills] made from the flesh and blood of ordinary monsters in the box. When the lid of the box was opened, a faint pungent smell emanated.

Wu Songyang frowned slightly and asked Du Xuebing: "Is this the life-saving medicine you mentioned?"

"Yes, it's called [Satiation Pill]!"

"It's a special elixir developed and refined by Consultant Liu's younger brother Liu Zihao specifically to deal with the current food crisis!"

Du Xuebing explained to Wu Songyang and the dozen people around him:

"This elixir has no other powerful effects, but only one thing, that is, to cure hunger and resist hunger!"

"Ordinary people only need to take one pill to stay healthy for about fifteen days, and it will not cause any adverse effects on the body!"

Wow~!

The office suddenly became boiling.

Is it true or false?

There is such a magical elixir in the world?

Everyone was suspicious, but when they thought that this elixir was related to Consultant Liu, they couldn't help but have a faint expectation in their hearts.

After all, Consultant Liu can even take out a magical elixir like [Breakthrough Pill] that can directly break through the realm of gold body.

Now, it seems that it is not impossible to come up with this kind of magic pill that can only cure hunger.

"Captain Du, is this pill really so effective?!"

Wu Songyang looked up at Du Xuebing and asked him in a louder voice.

This kind of thing is not a joke.

Didn't you see that the eyes of the dozen or so representatives in front of you are straight?

If it is finally proved that this [satisfaction pill] is not as effective as Du Xuebing said, the credibility of Shangjingcheng and the Military Affairs Department will inevitably suffer a great blow!

"General Staff Wu, don't worry. The effectiveness of this [Stomach Pill] has been personally verified by Battalion Commander Du and I, and there is absolutely nothing false about it!"

Zhao Jiajun also intervened at the right time and assured General Staff Wu firmly.

"If General Staff Wu and everyone present doesn't believe it, you can take one personally and experience it for yourself, and you will naturally understand that what we say is true!"

As soon as Zhao Jiajun finished speaking, before Wu Songyang could speak, several people next to him could not wait to sign up.

"I come!"

"I'll take one too!"

"And me, give me a taste too!"

"..."

After spending so many days in Shangjing City, they were no strangers to Zhao Jiajun, the deputy head of the Yuxun Martial Arts School, and they were also very familiar with Du Xuebing, the newly appointed internal guard battalion commander.

Knowing that given their status, such blatant lies were unlikely.

Besides, this was the Military Staff Headquarters, and in front of Mr. Wu, they didn't believe that Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing would dare to fool them with a random pill.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that they were going to try the medicine themselves, more than half of the people immediately responded.

"In that case, let's send them all!"

When Wu Songyang saw this, he took out a [Stomach Pill] from the box and then gave Du Xuebing instructions.

moment.

Thirteen military representatives from various places in the room all received a dark-colored [Stomach Pill].

A few brave ones put the elixir into their mouths as soon as they got it, without chewing it, and swallowed it whole.

Then, under everyone's gaze, in less than three seconds, several people's faces showed unspeakable surprises!

"It's actually true!"

“It can really keep you full for about fifteen days!”

"General Staff Wu, Battalion Commander Du, how many more of these [Stomach Pills] do we have? On behalf of Jinmen City, I will reserve five million pills first!"

"It's the same for us in Linhai!"

"Our Dragon Gate also wants five million..."

All the military ginseng representatives who had tasted and evaluated the efficacy of [Saturation Pills] rushed to make reservations, with excitement and hope shining in their eyes!

After staying in Shangjing for so long, today they finally saw hope of solving the famine!

At this time, Wu Songyang also put the [Saturation Pill] in his hand into his mouth.

After the initial strange smell and discomfort, he soon experienced the feeling of fullness with abundant energy and blood and a hundred times more energy.

it is true!

While feeling overjoyed, Wu Songyang was also trying hard to control his emotions.

He was not as excited as others, but asked Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing in a steady voice:

"Battle Commander Du, Jia Jun, tell me honestly, do you have any special requirements for raw materials in refining this [Satisfaction Pill]?"

"Also, can they be produced and refined on a large scale?"

The large amount of spiritual power contained in [Saturation Pill] must not be obtained out of thin air.

If refining requires a large amount of spiritual plants and spiritual objects as raw materials, which city can afford it?

And if it cannot be refined in large quantities, it cannot be easily obtained by thousands or even hundreds of millions of disaster victims and used to tide over the difficulties.

Then the value of this [Saturation Pill] will undoubtedly be greatly reduced!

brush!

General Staff Wu's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly cooling down everyone's high and excited mood.

yes!

Everything in the world is subject to the conservation of energy.

This [Full Belly Pill] is indeed miraculous, but the satiety energy contained in it must not arise out of thin air.

They were just thinking about the efficacy of [Saturation Pill] and how to use it to relieve disasters and save lives.

But they have not considered in detail, what are the raw materials needed to refine this [full belly pill], and how can they obtain it in large quantities?

"Don't worry, General Staff. The reason why we can't wait to bring back these [Saturation Pills] and the recipe is because the main ingredients needed to refine [Saturation Pills] are everywhere and are readily available!"

"This is the recipe for [Full Belly Pill], please take a look!"

With that said, Du Xuebing handed the prescription of [Full Belly Pill] to Wu Songyang with both hands.

After Wu Songyang took it, he quickly lowered his head and watched carefully.

"This...this is actually true?!"

After reading, Wu Songyang's hands were trembling a little. He raised his head to look at Du Xuebing and Zhao Jiajun in surprise, and asked in a trembling voice:

"The main ingredient for refining the [Full Belly Pill] is actually the flesh, blood and bones of those endless monster beasts outside the city?!"

Wow~!

The scene was noisy and boiling again!

More than a dozen representatives from various cities also looked up in disbelief at General Staff Wu and the prescription in his hand!

true or false? !

The flesh and blood of monsters can also be used to make elixirs? !

And it’s also the main ingredient used to refine [Satisfaction Pills]? !

Why does this news sound a bit like fantasy and so unreliable?

Ninety percent of the monsters outside the city contain a lot of toxins in their bodies!

Moreover, even those flesh and blood without toxins are definitely not edible and digestible by ordinary people!

"Yes, that's it!"

Du Xuebing and Zhao Jiajun nodded in agreement at the same time.

"Although this recipe may seem a bit incredible, the refining method recorded on it is absolutely true!"

"We have personally verified it in Luozhou City before, and even refined two furnaces by ourselves. There is absolutely no mistake!"

As he said, Du Xuebing raised his hand and pointed to the training ground behind the office building, and said loudly:

"Before coming here to report to General Wu, I have asked people to prepare the relevant instruments and materials needed for alchemy. Now they should be almost ready."

"If you don't believe it, let's go to the training ground now. We can refine it on the spot to verify the authenticity!"

It has long been known that few people will easily believe the fact of using monster flesh and blood to refine pills based on oral narration.

Therefore, Du Xuebing had prepared early in the morning. When he just rushed back to the Military Affairs Department, he had already sent a message to the Inner Guard Camp and started to prepare.

Next, it is time for everyone present to witness the miracle!

Wait a minute, wait until they see it with their own eyes.

When those lumps of the most common and cheap low-level monster flesh and blood, after special refining techniques, are all turned into [satisfaction pills] that can be used to save lives, the expressions on their faces will definitely be very beautiful!

After a moment, with Wu Songyang's order, a group of more than ten people went downstairs and came to the training ground at the same time.

At this time, there were already ten newly built large boilers on the training ground.

This was because the soldiers of the Internal Guard Camp specially invited an earth-type supernaturalist and a metal supernaturalist according to Du Xuebing's previous instructions, and asked them to work together to strengthen the construction with supernatural means.

Not only is the structure better and the capacity larger, but it is also extremely strong, much stronger than traditional cement masonry.

Another more important point is that the construction speed is faster. As long as there is a demand, they can work together to build such a tall and strong boiler in a few minutes, which is extremely convenient.

Around the ten boilers, there are dozens of monster corpses as big as a hill.

All of them are low-level monsters such as the most common green bull monsters and swallowing frogs in the wild.

Usually, the monster hunting team in the city will hide when they see these guys who have no edible value on their bodies, and they are too lazy to kill them.

But now, they have all become the main raw materials for refining [Satiation Pills].

The dozen or so representatives from various cities who followed along all the way saw this, and they all unconsciously had a trace of doubt in their hearts.

Can the flesh and blood of such low-level monsters really be used to make pills?

The [Satiation Pill] they just ate was really made from such a worthless low-level monster?

Is this... possible?

Du Xuebing and Zhao Jiajun looked at the expressions on the faces of these people and couldn't help but smile at each other.

They all remembered the appearance of them when they first saw this method of refining pills in the Luozhou Military Affairs Office a few hours ago.

"Let's get started!"

Du Xuebing ordered the soldiers of the cooking squad and the internal guards standing in front of the ten boilers:

"According to my previous requirements, remove the skin, remove the organs, and remove the heads. First clean up all the monsters, and then cut them and put them in the boilers!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of soldiers responded loudly, and then drew out the boning knives they carried with them, and skillfully skinned and deboned the monster bodies.

Soon, the first pot, the second pot, the third pot, and the tenth pot were all filled.

After that, Du Xuebing began to order the addition of some common Chinese medicines such as ephedra, millet essence, and tribulus.

Finally, add water, light a fire, and cook it with high heat.

It looks no different from ordinary stewed meat.

However, when stewing meat normally, the steam coming out of the pot is mostly meaty.

However, the smell coming out of the big boiler in front of him has a hint of fishy and pungent smell, which smells ominous.

"Just like this, can you really make [satisfaction pills]?"

"Why does it look like a child's play?"

"When did alchemy become so down-to-earth? Can it be cooked directly in a pot?"

"..."

The onlookers couldn't help but murmur in their hearts when they saw this method of alchemy.

Although they don't often make alchemy, they are very familiar with stewing meat in a pot. No matter how they look at it, they feel that this is stewing meat.

Look, even spices are added in? !

However, although everyone had doubts in their hearts, no one was stupid enough to stand up and question at this time.

They were all waiting silently, watching to see whether this furnace of elixir would be a joke in the end, or whether it could really produce [Satiation Pills]!

During the elixir refining period, Hong Yuxun also got the news and flashed over.

A moment later, even the four pillars sent people to observe and witness!

In this way, more and more people gathered on the training ground of the Military Affairs Department, and hundreds of people gathered in the blink of an eye.

In this regard, Du Xuebing and Zhao Jiajun were not nervous at all. They had already had the experience of refining elixir once, and they were familiar with the fire and melted the elixir, waiting for the moment when the elixir was ready and boiled.

Finally.

After cooking for half an hour, Du Xuebing ordered the fire to be turned off, and in front of everyone, he personally opened the pot to test the elixir.

Boom!

The boiler was turned on, the pressure burst, and endless white smoke mixed with water vapor rushed into the sky.

Du Xuebing had expected it, raised his right hand, and exhaled his strength.

Instantly, the steam and smoke were blown aside, revealing the situation inside the boiler to everyone.

"Oh my god, there are actually pills!"

"Twenty-seven pills, judging from the appearance, they are exactly the same as the pills we just tasted!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"I just calculated that they put about 3,000 kilograms of monster flesh and blood in the boiler. If converted, about 1,000 kilograms of monster flesh and blood can be used to refine ten [Satiation Pills]!"

"Hahaha, there is hope! There is hope!"

"There are endless monsters in the wild, and we can't stop killing them. As long as we master this method of refining pills, why would we worry about food shortages?!"

"..."

Everyone saw that the pills were really made, and 20 to 30 [Satiation Pills] were taken out of all ten boilers.

Everyone went crazy and was so excited that they couldn't control themselves!

Especially the 13 military representatives who came to ask for help, after trying the newly-made pills, they cried with joy!

One by one, they lay beside the boiler, shouting loudly with tears in their eyes, extremely excited!

There is hope!

The hundreds of thousands or even millions of hungry people in the major cities behind them finally don't have to starve anymore, and finally don't have to eat their own children!

They can continue to live again!
