Chapter 467: I Plant Myself Too When I Really Get Going!
Jiang He left the tasks of planting and strengthening immortal items to Dumbo. He just had to harvest them anyway, so what was stopping him?
All he had to do was pluck immortal crystals and the immortals’ items, play around with his maids, and enjoy the seven fairy maidens’ dances if he had free time…
Soon, three days had passed.
The immortals who returned to Earth as backup had all their items strengthened.
Aside from earning a considerable amount of Farm Points, Jiang He had also received a large sum of medicinal pellets. The rarest of them was the rank-eight Dao Enlightenment Pellets, with a few rank-seven Body Honing Pellets along with other rank-five and rank-six immortal pellets.
Jiang He did not have the time to plant the immortal pellets as of yet, and had instead planned to grow them after he leveled up his farm.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had cultivated the Secret Art of the Chaos Thundersword up to mastery.
Alongside the Scripture of the Chaos Thundersword, both were cultivation methods that Jiang He had created based on his own circumstances. Now, mastery of both meant Jiang He’s Dao, cultivation, sword technique, and physique had all reached full-fledged Grand Luo.
“With my current abilities, I wouldn’t even need mystic treasures to kill an average Grand Luo… still, it falls shorts a little compared to ancient Grand Luo. After all, they had lived for several thousand years, or even several hundred thousand years—aside from their diverse skill sets, I even heard that some Grand Luo had innate soul treasures.”
Jiang He judged his own ability, then breathed a long sigh with a pained smile.
He had only started cultivation very recently.
Just a year and a few additional days even after including everything.
Moreover, his depth was shallow, and all he had were dozens of acquired soul treasures, which he had claimed after potentially fatal battles, let alone innate soul treasures…. He barely had ten acquired soul swords to wield the sword techniques he mastered, and he could only cast the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity.
“Of those ten swords, there is one superior-grade acquired soul flying sword and three mediocre-grade acquired soul flying swords, while the rest are all inferior-grade… if I could exchange all ten for premium-grade acquired soul flying swords, the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity I could cast then would slay even Demi-Saints!”
Of course, Jiang He understands that this was just his imagination.
How rare were premium-grade acquired soul treasures, after all?
Certain powerful premium-grade acquired soul treasures would not lose out to innate soul treasures… One example was the Star Map, said to be an item jointly crafted by the personal disciples of many Saints and with some extent of contribution from the Saint themselves. Wang Hou only had a fraction of control over its authority, but he could already monitor the entire Solar System, even restraining Grand Luo momentarily once he invoked it.
“Master, the chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords is asking for you!”
“I’ll be downstairs soon—have him wait a while.”
Jiang He waved from upstairs, and Boa Hancock left with a respectful bow.
When the immortals returned, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist had promptly accepted Jin Sidao as his personal disciple, even appointing him chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. That instantly promoted Jin Sidao’s status even though he was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect over a dozen generations down the line, becoming a second-generation disciple equal in rank to several True Immortals.
In fact, his authority was now only next to the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist’s thanks to his ties to Jiang He and Wang Hou.
After washing up, Jiang He headed downstairs in his silk bathrobe.
Jin Sidao, who was seated on the first-floor living room sofa, promptly rose to greet him, though Jiang He waved him just as he was about to bow. Immediately getting the point, he cut to the chase. “Mister Jiang, I have finished what you asked me to do.”
Over the last few days, Jin Sidao had been living comfortably and glowing in good health.
At first, he had brought Lü Dongbin and several other immortals to strengthen their items at Jiang He’s house. After the items were indeed upgraded by one rank, word spread among all immortals. In fact, Jin Sidao did not have to keep running around for an entire flock of immortals to swarm towards him…
Later, the matter of purchasing immortal crystals went smoother than he thought it would have as well.
He first traded with a True Immortal, using 10,000 immortal crystals to buy his 9,200, even giving the True Immortal an additional one thousand immortal crystals to spread word about his purchase of immortal crystals…
With that, the True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals all went to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect on their own accord to sought out Jin Sidao.
In the end, even the Golden Immortals could not just sit and watch.
After all, Lü Dongbin had earned 150,000 immortal crystals with 120,000.
The immortals who returned to the Earth were hence grinning from ear-to-ear…
They had expected a gruesome battle against the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance when they had first returned to the homeworld… yet not only was the legion repelled when they returned, but they had their immortal items strengthened, their abilities strengthened, and earned a considerable sum of immortal crystals out of thin air instead.
Naturally…
They were not aware that Jin Sidao was happier than they were.
This last wave meant he had earned 300,000 immortal crystals!
Even top Golden Immortals the likes of Lü Dongbin could not fork out 300,000 immortal crystals at a moment’s notice… while they did not lose out in terms of wealth, immortal crystals were basically cash—could any billionaire take out a billion dollars in cash with utter certainty?
After seeing off Jin Sidao, Jiang He was left holding a single Spatial Ring and breathing a long sigh…
Almost two million immortal crystals…
That was a little too many!
How long would he need to plant everything?
“I hope that the farm would expand after I level it… I could plant several hundred thousand immortal crystals at once when that happens and easily plant everything… that said, the economic system at the celestial battlefield is quite complete. The novels about immortal heroes that I’d read about would have male leads earning billions or trillions of immortal crystals toward the end…”
***
Sora had prepared breakfast and Jiang He sat before the dining table to have a few bites before entering the farm.
He took out several Gods and Demons corpses with a flip of his hand.
“Dumbo, Trumbo, bury them!”
Jiang He issued his orders while pointed at the corpses.
It was time to level up his farm.
And once he planted the quota of corpses required to level up his farm, a humming sound soon rang…
The entire farm quaked gently…
After that, a dense smoke extended in the Farm. It was a mystical energy, and triggered by it, the Cloudscraper Vine and the willow tree rapidly grew and evolved.
The auras of Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, Hu Mei, and the nine Wise Rock Monkeys all erupted as well.
Unknown Fox, who was controlled by Jiang He with a Spirit Animal Ring, felt his eyes bulging.
What the hell was going on?
His master’s grotto-heaven Farm actually expanded???
However, Unknown Fox was not affected since he was not ‘planted’.
Crunch, crunch…
Crisp sounds could be heard from beneath a corner of the Farm.
Jiang He turned his eyes toward the direction of the sound, where the messy lines of graves stood.
One even had a pile of dog dung on it… Dumbo’s work, probably.
And within those graves were the corpses of Golden Immortals and True Immortals, all belonging to the Alliance legion which Jiang He had slain.
As for the Heavenly Immortal’s corpses?
There were over five thousand of them and too low-ranked, meaning that there were too many and too substandard for Jiang He to bother planting them.
Nonetheless, it had been a while since the corpses of those Golden Immortals and True Immortals were planted. There had been no reaction at all for some time, though they were now budding thanks to the unique energy generated whenever his Farm leveled up.
A ridiculous thought suddenly occurred to Jiang He then…
“If I planted myself…”
Jiang He had thought of it more than once, but he just could not resist that idea right now.
“Hell!”
“I’ll give it a try!”
“Nothing would happen to me since I’m just testing it out… right?”
Clenching his teeth, Jiang He punched into the ground.
Pow!
A huge crater was knocked into the dirt by Jiang He.
Arriving beside the hole, Jiang He turned around to have his back facing it. Turning toward Jiang He, he said, “Dumbo, pile a grave over me later… and don’t you dare take a dump on top of it!”
Thud!
Jiang He straightened himself and lay down inside the hole.
Dumbo was dumbstruck.
