The feeling of being trusted is truly wonderful.

Hearing Aunt Zhang's words as soon as he came out, Tang Rao, no matter how tired, felt comforted in his heart.

"Dear villagers, sorry to keep you all waiting."

Everyone was captivated by this elegant young man.

Tang Rao looked so delicate, completely unlike the suave figure they had imagined in their hearts.

"Are you the benefactor?"

Everyone looked at Tang Rao, their eyes full of disbelief.

"If you're talking about the person you've been waiting for, then that should be me."

Tang Rao smiled with his eyes squinted at the people present, conveying nothing but positive energy to them.

"Oh benefactor, our lives entirely depend on you. Our village has been full of good people for generations, without any malicious intent, yet now many have died or fallen ill. We earnestly implore you to find a cure for us soon."

The dark-skinned man was the village chief, and he seemed to also be afflicted, speaking with a lack of strength, his body devoid of any spare flesh, nothing but a skeleton.

"No problem, I have found a way. What we need now is for you all to cooperate with each other. There are so many sick individuals; I can't treat everyone one by one."

When Tang Rao spoke, no one in the crowd interrupted; he was a god, the god who ruled all.

"Alright, whatever the benefactor says, we'll do."

As long as it means survival.

They just wanted to live.

"Here are all the elixir pills. If I'm not mistaken, your village's water source being contaminated is related to the illness affecting millions. What you need to do is pour all the elixir pills into the water and let them dissolve as quickly as possible."

Elixir pills?

While they were doubting, Tang Rao had already placed bags of elixir pills in front of them.

"All able-bodied men and women, first pour these elixir pills into the river and the wells you drink from daily. After pouring, find your own water to drink. If I find anyone drinking water without working, don't blame me, Tang Rao, for turning hostile."

Everyone united, and if there happened to be a few bad apples, Tang Rao wouldn't mind helping the villagers clear them out.

"We won't disgrace ourselves and lose our dignity as men!"

"Yes, united efforts, working together."

The slogans were shouted with great energy, and with this morale, Tang Rao felt quite gratified.

"Now, let's start. Men, one bag each; women, two to a bag. Pour water at three sources. Meanwhile, I'll use part of it to create rain in a distant place. Every villager must complete their task, or if the illness continues, I won't help again."

As soon as Tang Rao finished speaking, everyone started moving.

They worked in groups, using carts where available, transporting over ten bags at a time, greatly speeding up the process.

Tang Rao took out two large bags of elixir pills, diluted them with water, filled it into a space ring, and then disappeared from the spot.

Where the water didn't arrive quickly, the sky began to pour heavy rain. Tang Rao, using transmission with the intensifying rain, began to transmit sound from the sky.

The sound was as loud as thunder.

Everyone, upon hearing that to heal they needed to drink the rain falling from the sky, ran outside from their rooms. For a moment, everyone on the ground looked up, some eager to drink more rainwater, others curious to see for themselves.

"Thank you, Heavenly Lord! The Heavenly Lord is showing miracles, I can breathe again."

"Seems like my stomach doesn't hurt as much anymore. Look, the unstoppable bleeding on my body isn't flowing out anymore."

The people on the ground were tearfully joyful, yet they didn't even know who the benefactor was.

After ensuring no corners were missed, Tang Rao returned to the water's source.

"The water flow is too slow, this isn't a solution."

Then he took out an immortal stone and set up an array at the source end.

Instantly, the water flow speed increased several times over.

"Good lad, now I understand why you've risen so quickly, your mind indeed works wonders, I admire you, I truly do."

Ba Wangba gave Tang Rao a thumbs-up.

This was the man Ba Wangba, who once looked upon with fear, in just over half a year, he had grown so much that even Ba Wangba began to feel wary.

Tang Rao felt proud too, recently worshipped like a deity, such a feeling he wouldn't mind experiencing again.

"Now isn't the time for us to rejoice, our immediate task is to unlock the array and capture the mastermind. Otherwise, once this sickness is cured, who knows when the next one will come knocking."

Tang Rao's words were logical, and Ba Wangba nodded in deep agreement.

"But what can we do? There are hundreds of thousands here. How could we possibly find someone so quickly? Even you can't do that, right?"

This put Ba Wangba into deep thought.

"Let's go to the spot with footprints."

Tang Rao had read many books; he also knew the idiom about waiting for the hare by the stump.

But just because others couldn't catch rabbits didn't mean Tang Rao couldn't.

That habitual offender, seeing more and more people recover these past couple of days, would surely return to cause trouble.

They only needed to wait there for the person to come.

"Right, why didn't I think of that?"

Tang Rao could only roll his eyes at Ba Wangba. If Ba Wangba thought of everything first, where would that leave room for Tang Rao's cleverness to shine?

The two left without a word, not because they didn't want to inform the villagers, but because they hadn't really left.

The more the villagers knew, the higher the chance of Tang Rao and Ba Wangba failing.

Both were at Immortal Emperor level. Tearing through the fourth dimension to hide themselves inside was a simple task.

"Tang Rao, does this really work? Are we just going to stand on the array's eye and not move?"

As he tilted his head to ask, it reminded Tang Rao of the once-popular crooked neck meme.

"So did you think I'd walk around here just to put on a show?"

Clearly, that was not in line with Tang Rao's usual style.

"Someone's coming."

Ba Wangba immediately heightened his alertness.

"Why didn't I notice anything?"

Tang Rao looked around and indeed saw no suspicious figures.

"Another kilometer, I've already sensed his scent."

It matched the scent left on the earth perfectly.

Ba Wangba didn't mention it, for if he did, Tang Rao would surely think him a madman.

Less than two minutes later, a sneaky figure suddenly leaped out.

Tang Rao and Ba Wangba were sure they had never seen this person before; he didn't seem to be from the Land of Immortals.

"Waiting for the hare, the big white rabbit is about to leap into grandpa's arms, let's see grandpa not rough you up to death!"

Tang Rao opened his bloody mouth wide, licking his tongue, his actions so seductive that Ba Wangba felt a pang in his chest.

"Brother Tang Rao, the one in front of you is a man. Are you sure you really want to make a move?"

He wanted to pull Tang Rao back to prevent him from regretting a mistake of a lifetime.

"What are you thinking? Dad just wants to subdue this little goblin."
