"What are you staring at? Go to the fields quickly! We don't know how long this rain will last, so hurry up and reinforce the field ridges to prevent the rainwater from flowing away."
At this point, Old Man Zhao didn't want to say much more; he simply gestured for Gong Yuanyun to quickly go out and reinforce the field ridges.
Now that Gong Yuanyun's father was ill, otherwise, he could have gone to reinforce the field ridges himself.
Hearing this, Gong Yuanyun immediately reacted, quickly acknowledged, and then, carrying her tools, hurried towards the fields...
In the night sky, countless dark clouds gathered, then were kneaded and twisted as if by a giant hand.
He Xiuyuan, sitting on a stone under a large tree, had his eyes closed, seemingly sensing something.
The surrounding winds grew increasingly fierce.
He Xiuyuan's eyes were closed, but his mind was in the sky, manipulating the dark clouds above.
At this moment, He Xiuyuan could clearly feel that he had grasped these dark clouds, like the Dominator of this area.
This feeling was truly extraordinary.
After sensing for a moment, He Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes, then lightly pointed a finger.
As He Xiuyuan's finger dropped, large raindrops instantly fell, and then the rain grew heavier and heavier. In just a moment, this part of the world was enveloped in a curtain of rain.
The massive downpour covered this entire area, obstructing all visibility.
He Xiuyuan stretched out his hand, watching the large raindrops fall into his palm, and couldn't help but smile, a look of satisfaction on his face.
This rain, he thought, should be enough.
Far from Huo Yun County, there were many mountains.
After the rainwater fell into those mountains, it would be temporarily stored there, then turn into small streams flowing towards Huo Yun County.
This way, even if it didn't rain again after this heavy downpour, this rain would be enough to help Huo Yun County get through the summer.
After that, autumn would arrive.
Thinking this, He Xiuyuan opened the wine gourd in his hand and extracted a drop of Essence of the Sun and Moon from it.
With the appearance of this drop of Essence of the Sun and Moon, it instantly shone like a bright pearl, illuminating the surroundings, brightening the previously dim area.
He Xiuyuan looked at the Essence of the Sun and Moon floating on his fingertip, then at the night sky, and then flicked his finger, "Go!"
As He Xiuyuan flicked his finger, the Essence of the Sun and Moon in his hand quickly flew towards the dark clouds in the sky. A moment later, the Essence of the Sun and Moon flew into the clouds and then exploded with a roar.
The Essence of the Sun and Moon rapidly integrated into the surrounding rainwater, and the rainwater immediately became somewhat extraordinary.
As the rainwater fell into the fields, the crops, nourished by the Essence of the Sun and Moon, began to turn green again, and the rice ears started to become plump.
However, due to the darkness, the Peasants did not notice the change in the rice.
After they worked until late at night and saw that the field ridges were all blocked, they finally went back to wash and sleep with peace of mind.
They probably figured their wives had also filled the water jars.
This way, there should be no shortage of water for a short time.
The heavy rain fell all night. When the distant sun rose, the dark clouds in the sky slowly receded. The newly emerged sun shone on the Huo Yun County area, and a post-rain rainbow suddenly hung in the sky, as if reborn after the rain.
He Xiuyuan's face was a little pale at this time. After standing up, his body swayed, and he quickly pressed against a nearby tree to steady himself.
"Indeed, invoking such a heavy rain with this level of Dao cultivation is still a bit too much."
After steadying himself and assessing his physical condition, He Xiuyuan let out a bitter laugh.
This Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique truly requires a high level of Dao cultivation; he was almost completely drained this time.
However, looking at the fields in the distance, which were now full of water, He Xiuyuan nodded with satisfaction.
The sun had already risen. After a short period of adjustment, He Xiuyuan's body had recovered, and he was about to leave.
However, at this moment, a figure quickly approached from this direction. As the figure drew a little closer, a familiar laugh quickly reached He Xiuyuan's ears.
"Hahaha, I was wondering who was performing Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation here, it turns out to be Little Friend He!"
Along with the hearty laughter, a figure appeared in front of He Xiuyuan.
He Xiuyuan looked up, and when he saw the old Dragon Ao Qing in front of him, he was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his face.
"So it's Dragon Lord! What a coincidence, are you also nearby?"
He Xiuyuan hadn't expected to meet the Dragon Lord here.
"Ah, it's not really a coincidence. I was originally in another area, and when I sensed someone performing Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation from afar, I came over out of curiosity to take a look, and I found you, Little Friend."
Saying this, Ao Qing looked He Xiuyuan up and down, and his heart was immediately startled.
He still somewhat remembered He Xiuyuan's aura from their last parting.
Compared to last time, He Xiuyuan's aura now felt distinctly different, as if... his Dao cultivation had advanced.
Hiss... Is Cultivating so easy for Little Friend He? His Dao cultivation just increases like that, it's truly terrifying!
Moreover, judging by his aura, his Dao cultivation has not just increased by a small amount. If it were just ordinary daily Cultivating, his Dao cultivation would definitely not have reached this level.
"So that's it!"
He Xiuyuan suddenly realized upon hearing this.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Dragon Lord was also a Dragon, specifically responsible for Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation. It was not strange for him to sense someone performing the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique from afar.
"I, He, was also passing through this area. I heard that this place has been suffering from drought for several months, and the crops in the fields were all about to wither and die. I couldn't bear it, so I cast a spell to bring down rain, lest the Common People here suffer a complete crop failure and starve to death."
He Xiuyuan said, sighing and looking into the distance.
It was just dawn now, and the Common People who had been busy all night were up early again today to check on their crops.
Such hard work, if it truly resulted in no harvest, was indeed unbearable to watch.
Ao Qing listened to He Xiuyuan's words, looked at the crops in the fields, then nodded slightly, "Little Friend He is indeed kind-hearted."
It is said that the Heart-Nature of Cultivators is all like this, and seeing it today, it is indeed true.
Previously, when he sensed someone performing Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation here, he thought it might be Ao Qingxuan, but on second thought, it seemed impossible for her.
After all, Ao Qingxuan shouldn't have learned the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique yet.
