"Eh?"
"The Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse is actually available online?"
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, First Style: Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse.
"Bend the left leg slightly, bend the right arm inward, draw a semicircle with the right palm and push outwards. The stronger the True Qi, the more ferocious this move is …"
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Second Style: Dragon Soars in the Skies.
"Leaping into the air and striking downwards from above, inflicting a painful blow on the enemy from above. It is extraordinarily powerful and powerful, and the wind generated from the falling palm would force the enemy to take it head-on, unable to dodge …"
Pfft!
Jiang He, who was copying the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, could not help laughing out loud.
"Who the hell uploaded this? That's so talented! There are all the moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and there are even detailed notes. Is this person an idiot? "
"Hmmm …"
"Forget it."
"If the person who uploaded this is an idiot, what's the point of me copying it word by word?"
Jiang He calmed himself and continued copying.
He copied over six pages.
When he was done, he crumpled the pages into a ball and got a shovel to dig a hole in the yard.
Digging a small hole and throwing the paper ball inside, Jiang He turned on his System and spent 100 Farm Points to exchange for a nitrogen fertilizer, which he sprinkled at the bottom of the hole.
Then, he filled the hole and poured half a bucket of water over it.
Done.
Done.
Dusting himself off, Jiang He shook his head and could not help chuckling. "I'm a little retarded. Cultivation should be done slowly. Who would plant a cultivation manual in the ground?"
"Most importantly, I copied this martial art from Baidu. Someone else made it up … Hmm?"
Suddenly, Jiang He's ears twitched.
Having reached the threshold of a martial artist, his hearing had become very sharp.
He actually heard a slight "click" sound.
The soil beneath his feet was stirring slightly, as if something was about to break out.
"Woah …"
Jiang He's eyes widened as he stared closely at the spot where he planted the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, only to find a jade-green sprout stubbornly pushing out of the soil. It was growing at a visible rate, and in just a dozen minutes, it had grown into a small sapling.
"That's …"
"That's …"
"What the f * ck! Is it really possible?"
Jiang He was left gaping. To tell the truth, planting cultivation manuals was a wicked idea he had in a moment of inspiration. Since he had nothing to do anyway, why not use it as a repeater … he might as well plant it for fun, and he did not expect that it would actually work.
The sapling continued to grow.
Dumbo ran to them as well, its canine face showing that it had seen a ghost.
Jiang He sneered and said, "Dumbo, if you dare to leak this out, I'll kill you and eat your flesh!"
Shuddering, Dumbo promptly half-crouched on the ground and covered its eyes with its front paws to show that it saw nothing. Still, dogs were exceedingly curious, and after covering its eyes for less than three seconds, its paws cracked open and it sneakily studied the 'tree' that was over a meter tall.
The shape of the tree was very strange. It looked like a green stick standing up.
At first, there were still a few leaves on the "stick", but when it grew to about 1.5 meters, all the leaves on it fell off.
Soon, the tip of the stick forked, and eighteen bald branches grew out.
Those branches soon took shape, with a white flower blooming at the tip of each branch. A breeze blew, blowing pollen everywhere.
"What … the hell!"
Jiang He did not even dare to blink as he stared tightly at the white flowers.
The dancing pollen formed little dragons at the center of the flowers, their silhouettes circling and soaring. Their sonorous draconic roars were deafening, and Jiang He realized that the draconic roars were like thunder. Even so, it did not startle anyone else in the village, not even his neighbors.
"Could it be that the sound of my garden can't reach the outside?"
That was not impossible!
The farm area given by the System was 888m ², which happened to be this yard. It was not surprising that it had such a special effect.
"Since sound can't be heard outside, would anyone else see what I'm planting?"
"The flowers are wilting. They're about to bear fruit … a cultivation manual!"
Jiang He thought then and looked up at the flowers again. The 'dragon silhouettes' that were swirling and dancing among the flowers abruptly vanished, sprinkling over the flowers.
Soon.
The flowers withered and turned into sheets of yellowed paper.
At first, the paper was only the size of a fingernail, but in fifteen minutes, it grew to half the size of A4 paper and stopped growing.
Jiang He understood then.
He had planted it …
The cultivation manual had matured.
Though the feeling was bizarre and absurd, the truth was happening right before his eyes.
Jiang He reached out and plucked off a piece of paper.
[Ding!]
[+ 10 Farm Points]
A System Notification jingled in his head.
"Eh?"
Gasping in surprise, Jiang He turned to the System without bothering to check the paper in his hand.
[Name: Jiang He]
[Cultivation: Quasi Martial Artist]
[Ability: None]
[Owned Land: 888m ²]
[Farm Level: 1 (EXP 3/50)]
[System Backpack: 3 boxes]
[System Shop: Unlocked]
[Farm Points: 493]
"My EXP actually increased by one point?"
Jiang He was rather surprised. He had harvested 99 cucumbers and 84 corncobs before, but he only gained 2 EXP. He did not expect that a single page of the cultivation manual would give him 1 EXP.
Moreover, a single page of the cultivation manual actually gave him 10 Farm Points!
"I could farm a bunch of Farm Points and EXP if I follow this method and level up my farm as soon as possible."
The thought occurred to him.
Jiang He turned towards the yellowed paper in his hand.
There was a line of words written in cursive calligraphy — Dragon Soars in the Sky!
And then …
There was no 'and then'.
Jiang He: "???"
"I f * cking wrote a whole four pages, and this is all I got?"
There was only the name of the technique and no cultivation content … what the hell was he supposed to do?!
"Whatever, I'll just treat it as earning Farm Points and EXP." Breathing a long sigh, Jiang He looked utterly disappointed. That was all he could do to console himself. After all, he had only spent 100 Farm Points for the 'nitrogen fertilizer', earning 18 EXP and 180 Farm Points. He had profited no matter how one looked at it.
[Ding!]
[+ 10 Farm Points]
Jiang He plucked off another yellow paper, which read 'The Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse'.
The third yellow paper read 'The Dragon Rages in the Wild', the fifteenth style of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
After plucking off each yellow paper, Jiang He stacked all eighteen in sequence. That was when —
[Ding!]
[Detected that the Host has planted a low-grade martial art cultivation method. Consume 500 Farm Points to learn it?]
Delighted, Jiang He quickly exclaimed, "Learn it, learn it right away!"
[-500 Farm Points]
Another System Notification jingled in his head.
Jiang He was even imagining the image of a dragon taking to the skies with a flip of his hand and blowing up everything in its path … but nothing happened even after he waited for a long time.
Blinking, Jiang He barked angrily, "System, where's my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"
[Ding!]
[This cultivation requires True Qi. Host has yet to reach rank-four in martial arts and cannot learn it.]
"What the …"
Jiang He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "What about the Farm Points deducted?"
[The Farm Points deducted would be returned to the Host in twenty-four hours. Please wait patiently.]
What the hell!
Jiang He promptly turned off the System.
He was afraid that the System would say, 'Press 9 for repeat listens, press * to return to top'.
