This was a blessing from the "Second Deputy Cult Master"!
The "believers" were naturally overjoyed and expressed their sincere gratitude.
At the same time, they could hear the gentle voice of "Little Dragon Girl" echoing in their minds, guiding them on how to plant the "Sacred Dragon Rice seeds."
The "Second Deputy Cult Master" had manifested!
The "believers" were extremely devout, nodding vigorously, and vowing in their hearts that they would strictly follow the "Second Deputy Cult Master's" instructions upon their return, find a "feng shui treasure spot," plant the "Sacred Dragon Rice seeds," and tend to them diligently day and night!
There were a total of one thousand "Sacred Dragon Rice seeds." It wasn't too many, and not all "believers" were qualified to receive seeds; only the most devout "believers" were eligible.
Wu Han silently prayed: May the Great Cult Master bless me, the First Deputy Cult Master bless me, the Second Deputy Cult Master bless me, and may the seventy-two Protectors bless me. Please let me receive a seed!
Wu Han's intense longing for a "Sacred Dragon Rice seed" was not due to greed.
In fact, having an extra seed meant an extra burden, requiring more effort and care.
Wu Han simply wanted to prove his devotion!
When it was Wu Han's turn to offer incense, he had just finished kowtowing when the "Statue of the Second Deputy Cult Master" seemed to sense it and bestowed a "Sacred Dragon Rice seed."
Almost simultaneously, "Little Dragon Girl's" voice rang out in Wu Han's mind.
"Wu Han, this Sacred Dragon Rice seed is one I have carefully cultivated. Take good care of it. In a month, it will mature and yield a large amount of Sacred Dragon Rice, enough for you to eat for several decades!"
This statement was not an exaggeration!
A single "Sacred Dragon Rice" was as large as an adult's arm and incredibly nutritious, fulfilling all the body's daily needs.
Even a "super big eater" could not consume one "Sacred Dragon Rice" a day.
And from one "Sacred Dragon Rice seed," once it matured, it could yield fifty to sixty thousand grains of "Saintly Dragon Fang Rice."
Stating it was enough for one person for several decades was a conservative estimate.
For one person, it could last at least a hundred years.
Wu Han was ecstatic and kowtowed again.
"Thank you, Deputy Cult Master, for your blessings! I, how can I repay you?"
Wu Han said with utmost sincerity.
His words came from the bottom of his heart.
He had been orphaned from a young age, lived a life of hardship, and the harvests were poor, often leaving him with nothing to eat. He had few friends and had rarely received such care and attention.
At this moment, Wu Han was deeply moved and wanted to do something to repay the "Second Deputy Cult Master."
"Little Dragon Girl," through the power of the "Dehua Cult," felt Wu Han's sincerity and could not help but feel a sense of emotion.
This mortal was truly a pure and kind soul!
"Little Dragon Girl" transmitted her voice again.
"You don't need to repay me; it is what your kindness deserves... Well, if you insist on doing something, when the Sacred Dragon Rice matures, if you see other starving people, you can share some Sacred Dragon Rice with them!"
Wu Han quickly kowtowed.
"I shall strictly obey the Deputy Cult Master's sacred teachings!"
...
After receiving the "Sacred Dragon Rice seed," Wu Han quickly returned to his humble abode in "Wu Family Village."
He lived on the outskirts of "Muwang City."
"Wu Family Village" was remote, far from "Muwang City," but for a "poor boy" like Wu Han, having a place to stay was already fortunate.
Upon returning home, Wu Han didn't even have time to rest. He immediately went to his family's farmland.
He found the best spot in the field, cleared the surroundings meticulously, and then planted the "Sacred Dragon Rice" seed.
Wu Daren, his neighbor, saw Wu Han's actions and unceremoniously mocked him.
"Wu Han, you don't diligently farm all day, always running to that so-called temple in the city? Oh, I know, I heard that temple worships two female deputy cult masters, and they are so... beautiful! Are you infatuated with those two female deputy cult masters, hahaha..."
Wu Daren's family was the largest landowner in "Wu Family Village." They were usually overbearing in the village and accustomed to bullying Wu Han.
Normally, Wu Han would not dare to resist or complain.
But today, Wu Daren dared to speak so disrespectfully, defiling the two "Deputy Cult Masters" with such vulgar words.
Wu Han exploded.
His eyes turned red, and his fists clenched. He was like an enraged bull, glaring fiercely at Wu Daren.
Wu Daren, used to his own arrogance and bullying Wu Han being ingrained in his very bones, never dreamed that the usually submissive Wu Han would dare to resist his humiliation.
For a moment, Wu Daren was stunned.
After a long pause, Wu Daren finally came to his senses.
He became furious.
This was an outrage! A dead pauper, a nobody, dared to roar at him! Was there no law? No justice!
Enraged, Wu Daren immediately displayed the qualities of a "bully." He rushed forward and shoved Wu Han down.
Wu Han stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Wu Daren, still not satisfied, rained blows upon Wu Han.
"I'll beat you to death, beat you to death! How dare you yell at me, I'll beat you to death today..."
Wu Daren, with his brutish face and imposing physique.
Wu Han, accustomed to frequent hunger and lack of food, though handsome, was rather thin. He was no match for Wu Daren.
He was beaten without any ability to fight back, only able to curl up on the ground with his head covered, letting Wu Daren vent his rage.
Yet, even so, Wu Han gritted his teeth tightly, not uttering a single cry of pain.
The anger in his eyes had reached its limit.
Wu Daren, you can bully me, but you must not defile the Deputy Cult Masters! The great "Dehua Cult" will surely descend divine punishment and severely punish you!
Unbeknownst to Wu Han, the roar in his heart at this moment was also a form of "prayer."
In the distance, within the "temple" of "Muwang City."
The seventy-two "True Demon statues" trembled slightly.
The leading "Crouching Dragon True Demon statue" and "Young Phoenix True Demon statue" seemed to come alive, their ferocious auras soaring to the heavens, almost becoming tangible.
"Crouching Dragon Chaos True Demon": Heh heh heh... Brothers, we have work to do!
"Young Phoenix Chaos True Demon": Hee hee hee, this is our first big job. We must do it beautifully, with style, and with impact!
Immediately, the "Chaos True Demons" responded.
"Chaos True Demon Number One": Wahaha, it's been a while since we've taken action, I've been eager!
"Chaos True Demon Number Two": Kill, kill, kill! Let's kill until the sky and earth turn dark!
"Chaos True Demon Number Three": My forty-meter killing aura sword is ready!
