Jiang He had thought that the corpses were useless before, but he now realized how important they were. If he could kill a dozen more elites who grasped sword will and plant more Sword Will Barrenwort, would he not be able to attain complete sword will in no time at all?
[Ding!]
[+ 2,000 Farm Points.]
He walked up and plucked the Sword Will Barrenwort, before turning to look at the graves nearby.
There was a small tree about three feet tall growing on top of the grave mound next to it.
The tree was very unusual — its branches were emerald green, but it had no leaves. Instead, there were two cherry-sized fruits hanging on its bare branches.
Those fruits were green as well.
"Tut, tut!"
Jiang He sighed, and could not help chuckling. "What did the Sky Demon Cultists do to incur the wrath of the heavens and the people that all the plants growing on their graves are green?"
He teased.
Then, he pondered.
These graves had been buried for some time. Why would they suddenly grow grave grass?
"Could it be due to the farm leveling up?" Jiang He felt that it was the only possibility. He had definitely sensed a mysterious energy permeating the farm when his farm leveled up. Even the willow tree he planted had grown two meters in a split second, and it made sense that the energy would grow some grave grass.
Still, that left Jiang He even more puzzled.
Why didn't it give birth to a few living people?
He had planted Trumbo and Dumbo before. They were Ferals and living beings, so why couldn't he plant corpses if they could?
Was his farm level too low?
Or was there some other prerequisites?
"If a paper effigy could grow a maid, why can't I plant corpses?"
"Wouldn't I be able to plant corpses and resurrect them if my farm keeps leveling up?"
"Right now, I can only plant corpses … but what's the rule? I can't just plant corpses and wait for my farm to level up, can I? "
Jiang He mused to himself for a long time, and only rubbed his temples when he heard a car honking outside.
The Martial Arts Department (MAD)'s corpse-delivery truck had returned.
"Mister Jiang, where should we put the corpses?"
Su Ze jumped down from the car. The young man was now very respectful toward Jiang He, and was all smiles as he said, "Point out a spot, and I'll help you move them there."
"No need. Just put them outside the gates."
"Alright!"
Su Ze moved the corpses down one by one.
Jiang He smiled when he saw Liu Xue inside the car. "Come here, Little Sister Liu Xue."
"Ah?"
Liu Xue was confused and jumped out of the car.
With a turn of his hand, Jiang He whipped out a giant eel and handed it to him, saying, "Haven't you always wanted an eel? The last time I went to Jiangnan, I picked up an eel. Unfortunately, it was dead. "
Liu Xue: "…"
Shock flashed across Lolita's face.
Eel …
When did I say I wanted an eel? You were the one who said you wanted to catch an eel for me to play with, okay?
He just wanted a ferocious beast baby …
However, this eel seemed to be at the fourth grade or even the fifth grade?
Even a corpse would be worth a lot of money, right?
Liu Xue took the corpse and smiled sweetly at Jiang He, saying, "Thank you, Mister Jiang."
Then, she skipped back to the car.
Soon, all the corpses were placed on the ground. Jiang He called out to the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, who were focused on watching the Dividend Piglet and the commotion of the battle just now. "Give me a hand and move these corpses inside the farm … by the way, where are Dumbo and Trumbo? Get them to help move the corpses. "
Hence, the corpses were moved inside the farm.
Under Jiang He's laborious instructions, Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers' planted 'all the corpses and built a grave.
After awarding each of the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers a nitrogen fertilizer, Jiang He scolded, "Alright, it's already ten. Staying up late isn't good for kids. Go back to the bottle gourds and sleep."
Hence, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers happily returned to their bottle gourds as they munched on the nitrogen fertilizer candy.
After glancing at Dumbo and Trumbo who were wagging their tails fawningly, Jiang He thought about it and went up to pluck the little tree beside Sixth Elder's grave.
[Ding!]
[+ 500 Farm Points.]
Compared to the Sword Will Barrenwort, the grave grass provided much fewer Farm Points.
Clearly, it was much less valuable compared to the Sword Will Barrenwort.
Jiang He promptly lost interest.
Would he even take a liking to that trash?
Moreover, fruits definitely had to be eaten … wouldn't it be disgusting if it grew out of a grave and absorbed the essence of the corpses inside?
Plucking two fruits, Jiang He rewarded Dumbo and Trumbo with one each.
Delighted, both cat and dog stuffed the fruit into their mouths at once.
Crunch, crunch. After chewing a few times, they swallowed.
Ooom!
Seconds later, a unique energy ripple arose from Dumbo and Trumbo's bodies, and a golden light flashed over their bodies before condensing on the dog and cat's paws.
"Hah!"
Dumbo, standing on its hind legs, took a horse stance and opened its mouth to cry softly. It clenched one paw over its hip, while the other abruptly retracted.
Boom!
The air rumbled.
A large golden palm flew out and only gradually dissipated after flying seven to eight meters away.
"Meow!"
Trumbo imitated Dumbo and unleashed a giant golden palm of its own, although it did not enlarge, which was why it was a few sizes smaller than Dumbo's.
"…"
Shock was written all over Jiang He's face as he exclaimed in surprise, "Strength Diamond Stonebreaker Palm?"
He had a deep impression of that palm technique.
Back at Li Fei's farm, Killer Star had attacked him with the Strength Diamond Stonebreaker Palm and left him half-dead. After that, Jiang He killed Killer Star and obtained the cultivation manual for the Strength Diamond Stonebreaker Palm, which he sold to the Martial Arts Department (MAD).
And the palm technique that Dumbo and Trumbo had just used was none other than the Stone-Breaking Palm of the Mighty Diamond. While it was not as powerful as Killer Star's, it was frightening enough that it would not be an issue for them to split stone.
Moreover, Killer Star was a rank-eight martial artist, while Dumbo and Trumbo were rank-six advanced. There was a huge gap in ability in the first place.
"What the hell!"
Dumbo cried out in surprise as well, staring at its paws in disbelief and exclaiming in shock, "I know martial arts now?"
"Meow, meow!!!"
Trumbo meowed a few times as well.
Indeed.
No one would believe that Ferals knew martial arts.
At the very least, all the Ferals Jiang He had encountered so far used their powerful bodies as a means of attack. Of course, there were Ferals with supernatural powers such as the Black King Drake that could control water, but he had never heard of Ferals that knew martial arts.
"Humans have heritage sites, the Age of Old Martial Arts, and even further back, the Age of Qi Refinists … but what about Ferals?"
Jiang He suddenly thought.
Ferals …
They were daemons.
Did daemons have legacies?
There was a high chance that they did, but they must be rare, since there was no news about it at the moment.
Jiang He's interest was piqued as he watched the excited Dumbo and Trumbo.
Previously, they had eaten the Grave Grass of the B-class Water-type Awakened and awakened the Water-type Transcendent ability. Now that they had eaten the Grave Grass of Killer the Venerable, they had learned the Herculean Strength Stone-Breaking Palm …
Jiang He turned towards one of the graves, which had a tuft of grass growing over it.
"This grave … is Brave Star's?"
"No, no, it could be Bound Star …"
Jiang He was not sure.
Who could remember such a thing clearly?
After all, he was only responsible for dumping the corpses. Dumbo and Trumbo were the ones who dug and stacked the graves.
Still, it did not matter whose grave it was.
What mattered was that he used his spirit to feel out the tuft of grass. It was not a crop like the Sword Will Barrenwort that could be 'learned' or 'acquired' powers or cultivation methods with spirit, and it would only work if it was eaten …
There was no way Jiang He would eat such a disgusting thing. Feeding it to cats or dogs would be more appropriate.
Hence, he walked up and plucked the grass.
[Ding!]
[+ 1000 Farm Points.]
A System Notification jingled in his head, and Jiang He promptly slapped himself on the forehead, exclaiming, "I'm so stupid. I should be able to see its attributes since it's a plant. Wouldn't I know what effect it has just by looking at it?"
He focused his gaze, and sure enough, a bunch of data appeared over the tuft of grass.
[Grave Grass]
[Attribute: A plant that grows over a grave and possesses mysterious effects.]
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
Grave grass? What the hell?
What do you mean by mysterious effects? Would it kill you to introduce it?
Complaining inwardly, Jiang He split the tuft of grass into two and passed it to Dumbo and Trumbo, saying, "Eat this."
Trumbo took the grass and munched on it until green juices flowed out of the corner of its mouth, meowing happily. Dumbo hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "Master, I'm a dog …"
Dogs don't eat grass.
Hehe.
Jiang He merely chuckled. Dumbo shuddered all over and quickly said, "Master, I'll eat it, I'll eat it."
It opened its mouth and spat …
First, he used his water ability to wash the grass. Then, he spat fire and used his fire ability to roast the grass …
Then, it went to the storeroom to get some oil, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt …
Jiang He gaped at the sight and could not help laughing. "You've been asking me for spices so many times, you dog. It seems you have saved up quite a lot."
Trumbo froze where it was, and promptly felt that the grass in its mouth did not taste good anymore.
Dumbo happily put the grilled grass into its mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it.
Ooom!
An earthen-yellow halo burst out of its body, and so did Trumbo's.
"Earth-type superpower … it seems that this grave belongs to Bound Star."
Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in delight. "Not bad. I thought you two were too weak before and didn't even qualify to guard my house … but now, it seems that you two could be groomed."
Jiang He was a little hopeful.
If the cat and dog matured in the future …
It would be interesting if someone tried to break into his house.
Even if they survived the Cloudscraper Vine and the willow tree, there was still the cat and dog.
"Haha! I wonder how others would feel when they see my cat and dog unleash the Stone-Breaking Diamond Palms, blade techniques, swordplay, and even blade will and sword will in the future?"
Jiang He could not help chuckling.
…
At the same time.
Deep within Mount Dadong.
The Graywolf King was crouching atop a mountain, while a human figure stood in the air across the night sky.
This person was dressed in a black robe and exuded a sinister chill. He smiled and said, "Gray Wolf King, you and the human race are enemies. Opening the ruins with the human race … Do you really think that your fierce beasts can obtain anything by entering?"
The Graywolf King looked up at the black-robed figure.
It spoke the human language and sneered, "You keep saying the human race, the human race … Could it be that you're not a human?"
The black-robed figure laughed out loud, black mist rising from his body. His eyes glinted in a dim light as he extended his hands, his palms rather deformed, saying, "I've been baptized in the Holy Lake, and my body has become a Holy Saint's. I'm naturally not human."
"What a joke!"
The Graywolf King laughed out loud, saying, "I could open the heritage site with the Sky Demon Cult, but only ten of you can enter … and that would have to wait for the next full moon."
The Graywolf King was the strongest on the night of the full moon. Even if he would be weakened after opening the heritage site, his combat ability would not drop too much.
As for the Sky Demon Cult …
He was not at ease.
These people were neither human nor ghost, and they would abandon their identity as humans for some vague and insubstantial things. Who knew if they would go back on their word?
"Alright!"
Beneath the black robes, the figure spoke hoarsely, "On the night of the full moon … the fifteenth of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, which is the fifteenth of the tenth month in the solar calendar.
Pow.
The black-robed figure turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared from Mount Dadong.
Soon.
The black-robed figure appeared at the entrance of Zhouchuan Village, which was around seventy kilometers away from Lingzhou City.
He stood at the entrance of the uninhabited village and waited for half an hour.
A surprised voice could be heard from beneath the black robes. "What's going on? The Sentinel of the Right and the others still haven't succeeded? Why did they arrange to meet here? What's going on? Why aren't they here? "
