Great Memory Restoration Technique

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the guests had practically revealed what color Sasaki's underwear was.

Ding Yi, along with a few Imperial Guards, carried out the ten boxes of yellow beans. He looked at the ten boxes with immense joy.

These weren't just ten boxes of beans; they were his achievements, the stepping stones for him and his two brothers to dine on the official's bounty.

"Reporting, sir, all ten boxes of beans are still here."

"Well done, you can rest aside for now."

Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the house.

An aged voice called out, "Is this the place? Hurry, hurry, speed up!"

Fang Ming's voice also chimed in, "Steward Zhang, this is it. Our lord has secured the area, please don't rush."

An old man rushed into the courtyard, his eyes constantly scanning the area.

"The beans? The beans? Where are the beans?"

Immediately after, the old man saw Sasaki and Yamamoto being tortured. His face turned pale. Despite his Xiantian Realm cultivation, he clearly hadn't killed anyone, nor had he even seen much blood.

The scholar quickly ran over to report to Shen Qing, "My lord, this is Steward Zhang Shoutian from the Shennong Institute, Steward Zhang."

Shen Qing stood up and waved his hand, "Steward Zhang, please come this way. Let's talk inside. The beans are also here."

Shen Qing had a good impression of these agricultural officials.

For no other reason than that in the Capital City, there wasn't an official who didn't want to curry favor with the Shen family. On holidays, many officials would visit their homes, finding ways to send gifts.

However, Shen Qing had never met officials from one particular department: the Shennong Institute.

As far as he knew, these old men spent their days holed up in the Shennong Institute, researching and cultivating various crops and precious herbs.

The fourth-generation Tianhe rice currently planted throughout the Wu Dynasty was cultivated by them, and its yield had doubled compared to the original.

The fact that the Imperial Guards could exchange for various precious herbs was also inseparable from the Shennong Hall. The agricultural officials of the Shennong Hall measured the lands of the Wu Dynasty, identified the most suitable lands for growing various precious herbs, and achieved mass production of these herbs.

Who could harbor ill will towards a group of diligent farmers who didn't fight for power or profit?

Upon hearing about the beans, Zhang Shoutian's expression improved slightly. He strode towards Shen Qing. At this moment, Fang Ming and a dark-skinned youth carrying a wooden box also hurried over.

This youth was Zhang Shoutian's disciple, Jiao Yu. Without taking a breath, he quickly followed behind Zhang Shoutian.

Shen Qing led Zhang Shoutian into a side room.

Zhang Shoutian's tone was somewhat anxious, "That Centurion, where are those beans?"

"Ding Yi, bring a box in."

"You got it!"

Upon seeing the beans, Zhang Shoutian's spirits lifted. After a slight breath, he calmed down.

"Jiao Yu, prepare the Five Elements Calibrator."

"Yes, Master."

Jiao Yu quickly cleared a space in the room to place the wooden box he was carrying. He opened the box and took out a black stone the size of a human head and five dark silver magnets.

Jiao Yu skillfully assembled these items, using the black stone as a base and several brackets made of unknown materials to fix the five magnets on top.

Zhang Shoutian picked up a bean and placed it in the center of the black stone. Then, he pressed the black stone with two fingers. As True Qi was infused, the five magnets on the brackets began to spin rapidly.

From Shen Qing's perspective, Zhang Shoutian's True Qi split into five streams, infusing into the five magnets respectively, and then focused on the bean.

The bean, in turn, fed back a special kind of fine particles to the five magnets.

These fine particles had five colors, seemingly corresponding to the five elements. Some were exceptionally bright, some were ordinary, and some were dim.

The scholar and Ding Yi were stunned. The scene before them was too fantastical; they were momentarily unable to accept it.

Jiao Yu noticed their reactions and quickly explained.

"Two lords."

"According to the Five Elements Agricultural Book written by the Grand Steward Wang Zhen a thousand years ago, the five-element balance of plants was discovered. We, later generations, have improved crops and precious herbs based on the five elements."

"And this Five Elements Calibrator can capture the plant's five-element particles to determine its five-element balance."

"Unfortunately, this Five Elements Calibrator is a simplified version. Its limit is capturing several thousand five-element particles. If used in the Capital City with the most complete instrument, it can capture millions of five-element particles."

Ding Yi and the scholar were already dumbfounded. Millions of particles – what a shocking sight that must be.

Shen Qing's eyes also flickered. Had the technological tree of this world been skewed?

No, it couldn't be said to be skewed.

They had simply abandoned the development of electricity and used True Qi as a substitute.

It should be said that the technological tree had reshaped itself according to this world.

Gradually, some five-element particles mixed with a faint gray color were analyzed on the black stone, appearing subtly unhealthy.

Zhang Shoutian's anger grew more intense, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Vicious! So vicious! How can there be such a vicious race in the world!"

Jiao Yu was also speechless. He had never seen his master so angry. He quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Master, what's going on?"

Zhang Shoutian's voice suddenly rose.

"These soybeans look exactly like the third-generation Zhonglin Yellow Beans we planted, but they're actually completely different varieties."

"These soybeans are missing all five elements, and they've even mixed harmful substances of the five elements into them."

"If ordinary people consume them long-term, it will disrupt the body's five elements, affect their minds, and damage their bodies."

Shen Qing suddenly asked.

"What about the offspring born from them?"

Zhang Shoutian clenched his fists tightly.

"If these beans are consumed long-term, the probability of infants born with physical deformities and intellectual disabilities will greatly increase."

Ding Yi and the scholar's faces changed drastically, and they angrily rebuked.

"Bastards! How could they use something so malicious?"

Zhang Shoutian raised his foot, about to walk outside.

"We must find the original strain and not let this thing harm the people."

"Jiao Yu, let's go, let's go! Quickly, quickly!"

Jiao Yu quickly pulled Zhang Shoutian back. "Master! Wait, wait! The Imperial Guards are here."

Zhang Shoutian also came to his senses, looked at Shen Qing and the scholar, walked forward, and tightly grabbed Shen Qing's arm.

"Sir! I beg you, you must find the original strain."

Shen Qing nodded, his voice faint.

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Qing slowly walked out of the house. Outside, Zuo Zuoxi and Yamamoto had already been interrogated until they looked like dogs.

Seeing Shen Qing approach, Old Li immediately handed Shen Qing the Book of Impermanence, which recorded the interrogation content.

After a quick scan, there were still seven hidden Japanese pirates in Luoshui City, and several people were involved with them.

However, they couldn't find out where the soybeans came from.

Shen Qing lowered his head and looked down at Yamamoto, who was like a dead dog.

"Tell me, where did these soybeans come from?"

Yamamoto gasped, "I don't know..."

"You don't know? Good, good, good. It seems the memory of Japanese pirates isn't very good. Let me help you remember. Black Dog, bring me a hammer!"

Black Dog moved extremely quickly and found a copper hammer in the yard.

"Someone, hold his hands down."

Two Lieutenants quickly stepped forward and firmly held Yamamoto's left forearm.

Yamamoto panicked, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm helping you recover your memory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the copper hammer drew a cold arc in the air and smashed fiercely onto Yamamoto's hand.

A sound of a hammer hitting flesh was heard, followed by the sound of bones shattering.

This blow directly caved in Yamamoto's hand.

Yamamoto's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't utter a single scream. Only his bulging, bloodshot eyes announced his pain.

"I... I really don't know..."

Of course, his only response was the next strike of the copper hammer.

BANG!!!

The copper hammer smashed Yamamoto's palm into a pulp.

Yamamoto completely broke down and screamed like a madman.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! They came from the Qinglin Sword Sect..."

The two Lieutenant Officials sneered and spat on Yamamoto's face.

"Scum, you had to be beaten before you'd talk!"

They turned to look at Shen Qing, but Shen Qing's face remained cold. He said faintly, "Hold down the other hand."

The two Lieutenants immediately complied. Yamamoto struggled frantically, but it was useless. His Qi Sea had been broken, and coupled with the intense torture, his strength was less than one percent of what it was. He couldn't break free from the grasp of the two Houtian Realm Lieutenants.

"What are you doing! I already told you..."

Shen Qing raised the bronze hammer high.

"Your memory hasn't returned yet? Is saying any name useful?"

This was one of the functions of the Innate Six Senses; it could detect if the other person was lying, and its accuracy could even reach one hundred percent when dealing with someone on the verge of collapse.

A sound of breaking wind echoed.

Yamamoto's right palm also caved in deeply, his entire hand twisting into an irregular shape.

"I... I said it was White Cherry Villa..."

"Please don't hit me anymore..."

Shen Qing snorted, and the bronze hammer smashed down fiercely again, pulverizing Yamamoto's palm into bloody foam.

"You think I'll stop just because you say so?"
