Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming

Chapter 2240 - 1260

The old General could see, during the battle, how brutal it was.

He clearly knew that their ability to drive the enemy back twenty miles and cause tens of thousands of deaths was entirely due to the strategies they had arranged early on and their new weapons.

The enemy was only using cold weapons; apart from swords, there were also knives, and they only relied on brute force.

Their attempt at internal and external collaboration failed, and they could not break through the city gates.

When they tried to ram the gate with large wooden logs, the strongmen holding the logs were killed by a bomb thrown at them.

Grenades were thrown far, and according to the firelight, they couldn’t guard against it and were suddenly killed by explosions.

In fact, there was a weapon they had, capable of throwing grenades very far, not just hand-thrown at close range—hiding in the distance, the enemy’s Chief Commander and their generals were killed by explosions.

The Marshal sent by the enemy nation died, some soldiers did not perish, and they had sent tens of thousands this time, with reinforcements in the rear, but the advance troops were the ones killed.

This time they suffered a major defeat with heavy casualties, it could be described as rivers of blood.

The pits and hollows, originally arid sandy ground, were all stained red with blood.

The old General did not pity them, for there must be something hateful about the pitiable; pitying the enemy is just inviting trouble for oneself.

To avoid trouble, they would continue to inflict blow after blow upon the enemy.

Yet with this one remembered defeat, the opponent might not yet know what powerful weapon they possessed.

Because they had controlled the spies here, and they hadn’t heard any news.

This first battle cost the enemy dearly; despite the possibility of continued conflict, the old General didn’t send anyone to their territory. After all, they only dreamed, took some pills, within mere days.

In just a few days, not much could be done, for they still lacked the strength.

Reluctant to rashly send people into others’ domains, as it might just be a death sentence.

But now it’s different; the opponent couldn’t siege the city.

Their sinister plans failed and might have noticed something was wrong.

Might know they had stockpiles of grain.

Below, they might call for a challenge, and if they did, they would just ignore it.

If they insisted, let them head to their doom.

Jiang Tang watched the live-stream late at night, on the video wall behind, where the television series’ plot changes echoed his own interventions.

According to the plot, this night might see many Generals and soldiers killed, and in the city, the civilians and the people in the General’s Mansion were meant to perish too.

After changing the storyline, that night only saw many of the enemy’s people being killed, with no injuries or deaths on the City’s side.

Some people’s homes were burned, causing chaos, but it was just a financial loss.

No one was burned to death.

It wasn’t a quiet arson in the night, nor deaths under mysterious circumstances in the night.

Because the sound of explosions outside the city awakened many people, firelight appeared, and they knew immediately.

The enemy shot arrows, hitting some people’s addresses, igniting the fire.

Jiang Tang also saw the live-stream audience, who watched the drama in the live broadcast, actually also watching television.

The comments at the time not only praised the streamer’s beauty but also asked where they could find the drama.

There were comments with great curiosity from people from different interfaces, constantly asking how they could watch this live-stream.

Could they make wishes?

Would their wishes come true?

However, only three people a night could become the lucky ones in the live-room.

While for those whose wishes succeeded, they could only try again next time to see if it would work.

After Jiang Tang changed the storyline, after dawn, flashes of light continually entered his body—this was the Light of Merit.

This meant he saved some Paper Persons; unexpectedly, the characters in the drama would gain him so much Merit.

The General’s family survived, with a significant amount of merit, and many soldiers remained unscathed.

The city people were also not killed.

This Light of Merit belonged to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang, with so much Light of Merit flashing on him, felt very happy.

At this time, his wives also opened their eyes during practice.

In fact, they could also sense their husband had gained something more.

They knew about this intangible cultivation, belonging to a special practice of Immortals.

Healing and creation were parts of their cultivation of Merit.

In the following days, those enemies didn’t know if they were too scared to attack again or if reinforcements hadn’t arrived.

No one was quietly sieging the city.

The old General and the soldiers didn’t relax, didn’t lower their vigilance.

Every day they sent people to guard certain places, and the hundred-thousand-strong forces moved into action.

They took turns patrolling, took turns standing guard.

The old General and his descendants quietly practiced the Secret Manuals and Techniques to a small success during their free time in a few days.

They had ingrained the inspiring manual in their minds, practicing to a small degree, regarding the movement technique.

Moreover, they improved their Qinggong substantially.

Because they took the Power Pill, they didn’t show this in front of others, so no one knew they were no longer the original Generals, the original captains.

Also, because of the changes in their bodies, they could feel more Qi during their monthly practice.

However, they would not publicize this, nor would they teach these Secret Manuals and Techniques to the troops; they would only practice themselves quietly.
