"The Sky Demon Cult?"
Wang Siyu said after some thought. "I've only just learned about the Sky Demon Cult, but since they could wreak havoc on a global scale, they must have elites above rank-nine watching over them, or they would have been wiped out a long time ago."
Jiang He's face was ashen.
Elites who surpassed rank-nine and did not fear nuclear bombs?
He …
He actually provoked such an organization?
"No … I have to think of a way to save myself, or I would never have a day of peace if the Sky Demon Cult sets their sights on me!" Jiang He thought to himself, his expression changing.
Eventually, he realized that there was only one way.
And that was to wipe out the Sky Demon Cult and solve the problem at its root.
But his strength would not allow it!
Noticing that Jiang He was not saying anything for a long time, Wang Siyu pressed, "What are you thinking?"
"Nothing."
Jiang He breathed a long sigh and said, "I've done the bureau a small favor this time. Could you help me find more information about the Sky Demon Cult?"
"I'll ask the higher-ups when I get back."
"By the way, you've killed seven rank-one Ferals this time, and the higher-ups have decided to reward you with seventy merit points."
"Merit points?"
Jiang He frowned in confusion. "Didn't I kill rank-eight Ferals? How did it become seven? "
"But our men only found seven rank-one Feral corpses at the scene." Wang Siyu was rather puzzled. "I've asked Li Fei, but he said that you killed eight Ferals at first, and then said that he did not remember, so the bureau could only calculate merit points based on the Feral corpses."
Jiang He was speechless.
'It would be weird if you guys found out that I brought one Feral corpse back. But the problem is …'
Did Two Dog Li have a pig's brain?
He could not remember how many Ferals he killed?
After some thought, he asked, "What is the purpose of merit points?"
"Trade!"
Wang Siyu explained. "The country is preparing to establish the Martial Arts Department (MAD), and when the time comes, there would be a trading platform for martial artists and Awakened. Merit points could be traded as currency, and the government's price for merit points is around ten thousand dollars."
"Of course, merit points can also be exchanged for cultivation techniques, weapons, and even elixirs in our organization."
Her face was full of envy as she said, "I've been in the organization for more than three months, and I've only accumulated a total of 9 Achievement Points. You've only gone on a single mission, and you've already earned 70 Achievement Points. I'm so jealous."
"Oh?"
Jiang He was rather taken aback. "There are medicinal pellets that aid cultivation now?"
"Yes, but there aren't many of them, and there aren't many types."
Wang Siyu did not hide anything from Jiang He and said, "The country established the Superpower Research Department around eight years ago, specifically in charge of researching new composite metals and various medicinal pellets. Along with some ancient recipes from the martial arts world, there were some results."
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat!
Medicinal pills?
Could he plant elixirs on his farm?
He looked at Wang Siyu and smiled. "I only have 70 Merit Points now. What kind of pills can I exchange for? Are there any pills that can increase one's cultivation and help one break through to the fourth grade of the Martial Path? "
Eating cucumbers could also allow one to quickly reach Martial Dao Rank-4.
But first …
Recently, he had eaten too many cucumbers. When he burped, it smelled like cucumbers.
Secondly …
Cucumbers could strengthen physique and qi, but once he reached Martial Dao Rank-4 and cultivated True Qi, its effect would be greatly reduced. Perhaps he could try cultivating some medicinal pellets.
"There should be."
Wang Siyu said. "Still, those medicinal pellets wouldn't be cheap. I'll ask around for you later."
After seeing off Wang Siyu, Jiang He headed back to his yard.
His farm was now level two, and he could plant two more cultivation manuals. After much thought, Jiang He chose Nine Yang Manual and Rippling Steps.
Nine Yang Manual was an inner technique, while Rippling Steps was a movement technique.
He still had the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. He could fight, resist, and run.
Taking out the Nine Yang Manual he had printed earlier, Jiang He redeemed a nitrogen fertilizer and planted it.
And yet …
There was no reaction even after half a beat.
"What's going on, System?"
"Could the number of cultivation manuals not be refreshed after my farm leveled up?" Jiang He asked. The System's mechanical voice spoke.
[Only cultivation manuals that the Host personally copied could be planted.]
"…"
What the hell …
Jiang He scowled.
Why didn't you mention something so important earlier?
Jiang He felt a little heartache when he remembered that he had printed dozens of pages and spent dozens of dollars in printing fees.
All he could do was return to his room and get pen and paper to copy the Nine Yang Manual he had printed.
"If he's strong, so be it. If he's wild, so be it. If the moon shines upon the great river, so be it. If he's cruel, so be it …" A section of the cultivation manual appeared vividly on the paper. Jiang He only finished copying it after half an hour.
Then, he crumpled the paper and threw it into the hole, and a thought suddenly came to Jiang He's mind.
"If the Mysterious Soil could strengthen plants … could the Nine Yang Manual be strengthened as well?"
This time, Jiang He poured half of the Mysterious Soil into the hole.
Then, he filled the hole and moved a stool over. Taking out a cucumber, he threw half to Dumbo and the other half to himself, and started munching away at it in the yard.
In just five minutes, a tender shoot broke out of the ground and grew.
Still, Jiang He was surprised that the System was finally creative this time. The tender shoot that grew from the Nine Yang Manual did not turn into a tree, but nine luminous objects that resembled lightbulbs!
The nine luminous objects grew larger and stronger, and in the end, each of them was the size of a millstone. Moreover, the radiance they emanated was immeasurably scorching, as if nine suns were hanging in the yard.
"Wow!"
Jiang He's eyes twinkled.
Charging Indestructible Diamond to withstand the searing heat, he slowly walked up to find that each of the nine millstone-sized 'suns' had a cultivation manual placed on it.
[Ding!]
[+ 100 Farm Points]
A System Notification jingled in Jiang He's head as he plucked one of the cultivation manuals.
He was taken aback.
"One cultivation manual is worth 100 Farm Points and 10 EXP?"
"I'm rich! I'm rich! Doesn't that mean one Nine Yang Manual earns me 900 Farm Points and 90 EXP … Deducting the difference in the price of the nitrogen fertilizer, I still have 800 Farm Points."
He plucked the nine cultivation manuals one by one, and with a rumble, the nine 'suns' died at once, reduced to nothingness.
Jiang He organized the nine cultivation manuals, and a row of data appeared before his eyes.
[Nine Yang Manual (Strengthened)]
[High-grade martial arts. Upon mastery, the Nine Yang Manual would appear at once, incinerate mountains and boil oceans, and be impervious to all poisons. It is a technique that cuts through frost and malevolent poisons, and one would gain an indestructible diamond body. All martial arts in the world could be used as a supplement.]
