"Are you sure?"
Mu Wanqiu tried to dissuade him. "The blended qi pellets are expensive and could be used to recover True Qi in critical moments to save your life, but it's too extravagant for cultivation."
She then glanced at Jiang He and added, "You are rank-six advanced now, and if my hunch is right, your cultivation method must be impressive. Your True Qi is rich and far surpasses peers of the same rank, and ten blended qi pellets might not even be enough for you to reach rank-six pinnacle."
"I told you I want them all. Just tell me if you're selling them or not. What's the point of saying so much?"
"Alright!"
Mu Wanqiu said. "The corpse of this rank-eight horned boar is extremely complete, although its flesh has deteriorated a little due to its long death. Still, it's not a big deal, and we estimate it at 38 million. After deducting the ten blended qi pellets, we're left with 8 million."
"Do I still need to buy medicinal pellets with that ten million?"
"If you don't need it, I can transfer all the money to your account."
Jiang He thought about it and said, "That works. Moreover, I have two S-grade alloy weapons with me. Would the Superpower Research Department buy them?"
Since he had no use for the alloy weapons he got from killing the Earthen Majesty Heavenly General and the Earthen Diction Heavenly General, it was better to sell them as well.
"There's a huge difference in the price of S-grade alloy weapons, and it needs to be appraised. There are many types of new S-grade alloy composite metals, and most weapons would be mixed with many of them. In fact, some martial artists would mix A-grade alloy metals into S-grade alloy weapons if they don't have enough money."
Mu Wanqiu appeared to be very professional in that regard.
That made sense.
Her grandfather was one of the founders of the Superpower Research Department, and it was said that he had a hand in the development and research of new alloy composite metals. It was only normal that she was influenced from a young age and knew more than others.
"Alright."
Jiang He did not immediately take out the two alloy weapons from his System Backpack, and instead said, "I'll be heading to the Martial Arts Department (MAD) in the afternoon, and I'll bring the weapons there. Help me prepare the blended qi pellets, and I'll collect them in the afternoon."
Hence, the deal between the two was done.
Mu Wanqiu's tone changed then, and she said, "Jiang He, I actually have something else to discuss with you today."
As she spoke, she glanced at Wu Yueru and was about to speak when Jiang He waved her off with a smile. "Don't mention it if it's about the Martial Arts Academy. I'm not suited to be a teacher, and aren't you afraid that I'll lead the students into the ditch?"
"Why are you bringing your students to the ditch?"
Wu Yueru was puzzled.
Mu Wanqiu snickered and explained for Wu Yueru. "That's probably a dialect here. It means that students will be led astray."
"This is impossible!"
Wu Yueru said confidently, "How could someone as charismatic as Mr. Jiang lead the students astray?"
"…"
Mu Wanqiu was silent for a long time.
Jiang He was amused.
This Wu Yueru had good taste … But this woman looked calm and quiet on the outside. Who would have thought that she was also infatuated? This was only the second time they had met. Could it be that he had already been subdued by my charisma?
Jiang He was definitely not going to become the dean of the Martial Arts Academy.
Otherwise, there would be so many things to do in school. Wouldn't he be busy to death?
Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and farm quietly, eating the fruits and vegetables he grew himself every day? Wouldn't that be nice?
Wu Yueru did not try to persuade him again when she saw Jiang He's insistence.
She rose to her feet and shook Jiang He's hand, saying, "I won't force you if you don't want to go, Mister Jiang. Still, if you have the time in the future, you could come to our academy to give a lecture. You're now a great hero of Lingzhou City, and while your feats have not been reported by the media, it has spread throughout the city. The students recruited by our academy all worship you."
"That's not a problem."
Jiang He reluctantly released Wu Yueru's soft hand. After seeing off the two beauties, Jiang He returned home.
After dinner.
He had yet to wash the pots.
"Washing pots is so difficult …"
Scowling, Jiang He thought to himself, 'If I could awaken water-type superpowers, washing pots would be much easier. I could directly control water and do it with a thought.'
Dumbo and Trumbo, on the other hand, had water-type superpowers.
But how was a cat and a dog supposed to wash pots and bowls?
That was why it would be more convenient to hire … plant a maid.
"I still have to test whether I can plant a maid or not. The most important thing right now is to get a mansion. My house is so simple and there's no place for me to stay. It's quite embarrassing."
Shouldn't the maid have a place to sleep after he planted her?
Surely she couldn't squeeze into a sports car with him, could she?
Hence, Jiang He moved all the pots and pans in his house to the yard, and promptly charged his True Qi to unleash Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse!
Rawr!
A dragon's roar echoed.
The silhouette of a golden dragon flew out of his palm and slapped down on the mansion that had just been built a few days ago. With a rumble, the mansion collapsed, and Jiang He pushed out with his palm again. A gust of wind from his palm blew away all the debris.
But when he was done, Jiang He suddenly froze.
"Hold on …"
"Planting a mansion? How should I plant it?"
"My farm only has 1 mu of land and a big villa. Can it be planted?"
"Maybe I could try a model?"
Jiang He's eyes lit up as he remembered his experience planting a car. Still, he soon became worried. "Planting a model would definitely work, but wouldn't my farm explode when it grows bigger?"
"Moreover, I could plant models of cars and mansions … but what about maids?"
Jiang He thought about it.
If he remembered correctly, there was a type of maid doll online. Though it could not walk, jump or talk, it was said that it could warm the bed, although there was no telling if it could be planted.
"Maid dolls are fine, but I wonder how they would turn out … why would I plant them if they can't cook or wash pots?"
Jiang He was a little troubled.
He wondered if the maid doll could be customized according to his own ideas …
At the very least, he had to plant a pretty one. Otherwise, would he have to slap it to death if it turned out ugly?
"There's no rush with the maid doll. I should get my mansion built first, or I'll develop cervical spondylosis if I sleep in a sports car every day …"
Jiang He arrived at the yard and glanced at the five graves he had buried last night.
There was a layer of bricks on top of the graves, which were clearly piled by Dumbo and Trumbo, who were jumping around on top of the graves.
Just as Jiang He expected, there was no movement from the grave.
It took days for the B-class water-type Sky Demon Cult Awakened to grow weeds on his grave. On the other hand, B-class Awakened were equivalent to rank-five or rank-six martial artists in terms of level, and even the weakest of the corpses he had planted last night, the Earthen Savage Heavenly General was a match for rank-seven advanced grandmasters.
"What was the water-type Awakened's name again?"
Jiang He thought about it and remembered that he was called Shui or something. Still, that was fine since he was just a minor character and did not deserve a name.
"His ability should be equal to rank-five, and since it's raining, he could match a rank-six pinnacle martial artist … My farm is level three, which means that I could plant corpses that are two levels higher than my farm."
Jiang He had planted rank-six corpses before.
He had planted rank-six Feral Wolves, but since they were all corpses, there should not be much of a difference between them. That was why he only learned that it was two levels higher after practice.
Moreover.
Jiang He had a hunch.
Planting a corpse did not necessarily mean that it would grow a human. For example, that water-type Awakened of the Sky Demon Cult would grow a pile of grave grass that contained all of his essence, and it was only after Dumbo and Trumbo ate it that they gained water-type powers.
"Let's call these grave grass power fruits for now!"
"So, if I plant an Awakened in him, I'll either resurrect him and turn him into my puppet, or … obtain his abilities?"
"Then, would planting a martial artist give me a chance to obtain their cultivation manual?"
Jiang He poured a bowl of qi pellets for Dumbo and Trumbo, saying, "Have a good meal. I'm going out to do something."
