Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 814 - 765: Cang Lingdong’s Plan

"This is the true cultivator sect!" Jiang Yuan felt comforted after listening to the explanation.

In times of disaster, they use their extraordinary power to protect the common people; upon learning that the civilians are suffering and lack food, they take the initiative to coordinate and distribute relief grain. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Unlike those sects in novels, which appear dignified and immortal-like but are full of scheming, cowardice, and insatiable greed, the Celestial Sword Sect embodies what a cultivator sect should be!

"Gather the grain together, and I will store it in my Storage Bag, so we don’t need everyone to go through the trouble of transporting it," he patted the other on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You can lead the way, and the rest of the disciples don’t need to follow."

"Oh, okay!" The Celestial Sword Sect disciple was dumbfounded.

With so much grain just purchased at great expense needing to be transported, how large must your Storage Bag be to fit it all in?

But whether it was the Sect Leader or the Vice Sect Leader, they all listened to Mr. Jiang. As a low-level disciple, he had no right to question anything. He immediately put down the burlap sack on his shoulder and called for his fellow disciples to pile the grain in the plaza.

Looking at the stacked sacks, Jiang Yuan curiously asked, "Is all this grain reserved by your sect?"

"Of course not. Our Vice Sect Leader spent money purchasing it from towns in the north. He started right after the flood receded, storing the purchased grain in the sect temporarily, then dispatching it where needed."

"These grains must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Indeed, it’s quite expensive. But we are, after all, a cultivation sect. Many wealthy individuals willingly send silver notes to have disciples perform rituals and exorcisms. The Vice Sect Leader said that earning silver is much easier for us than it is for the common people, and cultivation resources can’t be bought with silver notes, so we might as well spend it on disaster relief, as an act of good karma."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt at ease. The sect protects the common people, allowing them to live and work in peace, resulting in the emergence of promising individuals with a spirit root who can join the sect. The two complement each other, which is the path for long-term development and growth.

Soon, the plaza turned into a small mountain. He stepped forward, touched it, and effortlessly stored it in his Storage Bag.

bags of grain, yet it didn’t even fill three slots.

After all, the system’s Storage Bag can hold 99 identical items per slot.

"As expected of Senior Jiang, he stored it all at once!"

"Wow! Mr. Jiang’s Storage Bag is huge!"

"I’ve heard that storage space is precious, the larger the space, the more expensive the Storage Bag. This one must be invaluable!"

"The Sect Leader’s and Vice Sect Leader’s Storage Bags can’t even fit a few bags of grain and are already so valuable, yet Mr. Jiang uses what must be a divine artifact, right?"

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect were discussing this among themselves, looking at Jiang Yuan’s exquisite Storage Bag with envy.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but frown.

Human cultivators start too late, struggling for survival, and compared to the deep foundations of demon cultivators, the difference is like night and day.

Even the worst-off demon cultivators usually possess at least a low-grade, cheap Storage Bag; whereas, in human cultivator sects, only sect leaders can afford them.

Last time in Cold Spring City, after slaying Evil Cultivators, he collected a bunch of Storage Bags. The members of the small courtyard didn’t lack them anymore. Perhaps he should organize them someday and spread the wealth to human cultivators!

Members of the Haoyue Sect were helping nearby villagers repair roads. Seeing them fly by with sword control from afar, they waved in greeting.

Jiang Yuan was preoccupied with matters concerning Pavilion Master Cang, so he couldn’t stop for old acquaintances. Riding the Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword with a guiding junior disciple, they virtually sparked their way straight to the disaster relief site.

"Ah, Mr. Jiang, your presence is an unexpected honor!" Ouyang Qing was coordinating and dispatching. He was most concerned about misreporting or over-receiving relief grain. Given how hard it was to procure, he had to oversee it personally to feel assured.

Seeing Jiang Yuan descend from the sky with the Inner Sect Disciple, he warmly welcomed them.

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Yuan neatly arranged the grain from the Storage Bag at the designated spot, then asked, "How much more grain is needed? My courtyard’s fields produce a lot, so I can supply more for disaster relief right now."

Ouyang waved his hand with a smile, "We’ve coordinated with the Court of the nearby disaster-affected villages. These officials can’t just consider these people as citizens only when collecting taxes.

When the common people suffer a disaster, if the Court doesn’t allocate relief grain, then what use are they? The government provides a portion, and the sect families contribute another. For now, this is sufficient.

I heard from Mingchuan that you’re skilled in farming and have abundant crops. Understanding that you want to contribute, we ask you to prepare some grain in advance, which we might need when the weather turns cold."

"Distribute when it turns cold?" Jiang Yuan hadn’t realized.

He transplanted his village farming experience here. Back home, there were two harvest seasons a year: corn in autumn followed by wheat, relying on two seasons to get through winter.

Now that the summer in the Wilderness World is over, even with just one season’s yield affected, providing enough grain for winter should suffice for the common people.

After the flood, the cleaned-up fields could still grow vegetables or be prepared for the next planting season, unlike any major difference from before. Why does the relief grain need seasonal distribution?

"You wouldn’t know, sir, but farmers fear disaster the most," Ouyang Qing quietly explained. "Natural or man-made disasters can easily spark unrest if not handled carefully. Overnight floods have ravaged the fields, and even with relief grain, unrest is hard to prevent with those few self-interested individuals secretly egging on pillaging and hoarding.
