Ao Ying is anxious for revenge and will definitely rush over upon hearing news of Gao Xuan. From the North Sea to the Qiong River, about ten days have passed.

"How is your country?" Gao Xuan asked.

Riding the Jun Heaven Wheel all the way over, he saw the situation on both sides of the Qiong River. It didn't seem too severe.

"The upper stream is fine, and so is Qiongjing. But several large embankments in the lower stream have breached, drowning hundreds of thousands, and rendering millions homeless..."

Mentioning these circumstances, the expression on the Celestial Fool Master also turned grim.

The death of tens of thousands is lamentable, but it's over. However, the problem of millions of homeless individuals is even more daunting. If they aren't properly resettled, who knows what kind of turmoil might ensue.

Qiong Country is vast, which makes it extremely complicated to manage.

The refugee issue remains unsolved until now.

The Celestial Fool sighed, saying, "The country has suffered a severe disaster, and yet numerous grain merchants are hoarding grain and selling it at high prices. Even the unaffected commoners can scarcely afford to buy grain..."

Although the Celestial Fool is the National Preceptor, he hesitates to intervene directly in these matters.

Additionally, these grain merchants are backed by the wealthy and powerful aristocrats of Qiong Country. Their immense interests have forged a massive system that even the imperial power struggles to oppose.

Because imperial power is also part of their system. At this time, the Emperor and a few officials' personal will cannot change the entire nation's situation.

Gao Xuan understood that Cyan Celestial Realm countries all had ancient feudal bureaucratic systems with inherently poor organizational capabilities. The vast expanse further increased administrative costs.

Moreover, the material shortage is the most critical issue. The Celestial Fool isn't adept at handling these matters, nor does he possess the determination to use an iron hand.

The Daoist Sect only assists the Emperor and doesn't interfere with the state's normal operations. This is the rule of the Daoist Sect. The Celestial Fool also doesn't want to make an exception.

Gao Xuan mused for a moment and said, "This matter started because of me, so I cannot stand by indifferently."

He looked at the accumulating dark clouds in the sky. It was the depth of autumn, and winter was about to set in. By then, the cold weather and food shortage would cause even more deaths.

The Celestial Fool was somewhat puzzled, "What does the Celestial Master intend to do?"

Although Gao Xuan had restored the Wuyuan Capital City to its original state, the Celestial Fool knew this was an exceptional case.

Even if Gao Xuan was willing to exert effort, he hadn't seen those flooded villages and towns, and feared he couldn't restore them either.

Gao Xuan said, "For the common people, the most pressing issues are the cold weather and lack of food. I can temporarily solve these two problems."

As he spoke, he whispered a spell and pointed outward, "Autumn leaves, winter does not come, a spring breeze transforms into rain."

With Gao Xuan's spell, the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed. The whistling cold wind of deep autumn turned into a gentle warm breeze.

This warm breeze was like an April spring breeze, full of vitality and energy.

Most miraculously, countless grains fell like rain amidst the spring breeze.

The golden grains quickly covered the ground in a layer.

The Celestial Fool, filled with astonishment, stepped outside the pavilion, picked up a few grains, and rubbed them, revealing plump brown rice.

He tasted one; indeed, it was brown rice.

With these grains, a hot boil would suffice to fill the belly.

The Celestial Fool looked out, seeing the golden rain of grains spread continuously along the Qiong River.

The Celestial Fool Master, having lived for over six thousand years, had witnessed the Twelve Layers of Celestial Tier, the Deep Sea Dragon King, and the Dharma Aspect of the Patriarch of the Nine Heavens, but he had never seen such a wondrous sight.

He stared blankly, his mind a blank slate.

Before long, he heard earth-shattering cheers echoing across multiple courtyards.

Mature grains fell from the sky, and everywhere they landed, people could casually gather tens or hundreds of pounds.

The people of Qiongjing quickly realized, frantically gathering the grains from the ground using various tools.

Harvesting the grains, the people spontaneously began cheering and celebrating. They thought this was divine grain and included various prayers thanking the Divine.

Such a fervent emotion was easy to resonate with.

Among them, many Daoist Sect believers kowtowed in gratitude outside the Yu Jing Daoist School. Thus, the noisy sounds easily penetrated through multiple courtyards.

The Celestial Fool was also awakened by these sounds. He turned with some excitement and nodded to Gao Xuan, "Celestial Master's compassion saves millions. Qiong Country will remember this benevolence across generations."

Gao Xuan couldn't help but smile. The Celestial Fool is that kind of emotional person, whose excitement leads to exaggeration when speaking.

It might indeed save millions, but how many will remember remains uncertain. Let alone for generations to keep in mind.

Within a few years, this event will become a legend. The descendants of Qiong Country will only remember that one year winter suddenly turned as warm as spring, and countless grains fell from the sky.

However, Gao Xuan didn't care for such illusory fame. He didn't need belief.

It was merely because this matter started due to him that he resolved it effortlessly.

The ability to do this was also due to his enormous cultivation growth recently. The Five Elements Law, Yuan Gui Xuanbing Law, Great Mighty Celestial Dragon, Eternal Hell Law—all these integrated, leading to a significant advancement.

The Emperor's Nine Transformations Gao Xuan learned also increased in power, enabling direct changes in weather, making the impossible possible.

The Celestial Fool wanted to compliment further, but Gao Xuan waved his hand, "Ao Ying is here."

The Celestial Fool was startled and soon sensed, looking north.

He saw the northern sky already covered with dark clouds, lightning flashing. Those dense clouds loomed like mountains, imposing and full of pressure.
