"Mas … Master?"
The willow branch quietly reached out toward Jiang He before quietly withdrawing. Its spirit had just been born, and it was stuttering even when it spoke to Jiang He through spirit acoustics.
That left Jiang He very surprised.
Trees were actually divided into genders?
Still, it made sense when he thought about it. After all, it was a special lifeform that had developed a spirit.
"By the way, I remember reading a book about a willow deity or something. Was it a girl too?"
Jiang He looked up and carefully studied the willow tree he had planted, a thought flashing through his mind …
If the willow tree cultivated to a certain level, would it assume human form?
"Ah!"
The willow tree cried out in surprise through acoustics, its many dangling branches suddenly shielding itself as it exclaimed in panic, "Mas … Master … why are you staring at me like that?"
Jiang He could not help being amused.
It actually knew how to be embarrassed?
Still, he could try grooming the willow tree since it was a powerful floral spirit and its loli voice was quite pleasant. He could see if it could help it assume human form in the future.
"Since it's a floral spirit, I would definitely add nitrogen and compound fertilizers to Cui Jin's growth."
Jiang He pointed at a corner of the wall then.
Snikt.
A green leaf drilled out of his body. Then, the green leaf turned into a fluffy green ball and landed in the corner of the wall.
The green bundle grew roots and dug into the soil, soon turning into a massive Cloudscraper Vine.
With a turn of his hand, Jiang He took out the corpse of the Red Toad King from his System Backpack, cutting it in two and throwing half to the Cloudscraper Vine.
Delighted, the Cloudscraper Vine's tendrils danced and completely covered the corpse.
Dumbo shot Jiang He a begrudging look then and quietly said, "Master, you're biased …"
Heh.
Jiang He could not help scolding it with a smile, "You dog. You've learned to give opinions now? Still, it makes sense. You and Trumbo might have many tricks up your sleeves, but your cultivation is a little lacking. "
Both Dumbo and Trumbo had grasped four superpowers each, as well as the Stonebreaker Palm and sword techniques. It was a shame that they had yet to reach rank-seven.
However, he was not far from it.
After some thought, Jiang He took out four bottles of rank-nine Origin Fluid from his System Backpack and gave two each to Dumbo and Trumbo, saying, "Both of you have grasped many superpowers and had plenty of cucumbers that strengthen spirit, as well as blended qi pellets and qi pellets. You have a profound foundation, and you are now one step away from rank-seven."
"The Origin Fluid I just gave you can increase your spiritual force and cultivation. If you take one bottle each, you may be able to break the shackles and enter the Level Seven Realm."
Dumbo and Trumbo were delighted.
On the other hand, Jiang He rubbed his temples a little worriedly … he still had some blended qi pellets, but they were not that useful for his cultivation now. They would probably not be as useful after Dumbo and Trumbo ascended up to rank-seven.
"I can't feed Dumbo and Trumbo with Origin Fluid every day, can I?"
"I don't have much of this stuff. If I really feed them, what will I drink when I'm thirsty in the future?"
Jiang He mused to himself for a long time before his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "By the way, if humans have martial arts and immortal arts … the daemons would definitely have them too!"
"Maybe I could think of a way to get two daemonic cultivation manuals for Dumbo and Trumbo to cultivate."
Jiang He found that idea very feasible.
The only problem was …
He could not find any trace of daemonic cultivation manuals online, and it would be difficult for him to come up with one.
"By the way, if what the head monk of the Diamond Sect said is true, the Golden-Winged Roc must have mutated and evolved over a hundred years ago …"
"Then, are there any Ferals on Earth that have lived longer than the Golden-Winged Roc?"
Jiang He believed that there were definitely such Ferals.
First of all, the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor in the Pacific Ocean had already existed for hundreds of years. There might even be fierce beasts that had existed for thousands of years or even thousands of years. After all, according to the usual conventions, fierce beasts and demons had a much longer lifespan than humans. This was especially true for some of the mutated beasts and the like. If they had a higher cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult for them to live for thousands of years.
"If I have the chance in the future, I could talk to those ancient Ferals and get some daemonic cultivation manuals for Dumbo and Trumbo to cultivate."
Jiang He turned towards Dumbo.
Dumbo, who was about to unscrew the bottle cap and drink the Origin Fluid shook its tail, understanding Jiang He's intention at once.
It extended its paw, its claws glinting in an obscure yellowish luster as its earth-type superpower was unleashed.
Small holes began to form on the ground.
Jiang He took out several Orirocks with a flip of his hand and planted them, saying, "Dig more. Over two hundred holes would be enough."
Hence, Dumbo continued to use its earth-type superpower to dig holes.
Jiang He was counting as he threw Orirocks into the holes … when he suddenly stopped at fifty and exclaimed in surprise, "Keep working, Dumbo. Why did you stop?"
Dumbo whimpered in a sobbing tone, "Master, could you dig less? Over two hundred holes … it's so hard! "
Slap!
Jiang He promptly slapped it, barking angrily, "You dog! Your earth-type superpower is not weak, but you're not willing to work hard even if I told you to dig 280 holes?"
Dumbo rubbed its face with its paw even as it stood on its hind legs, saying pitifully, "Master … it's not that I don't want to dig, but I don't know how to count past fifty!"
“???”
Jiang He suddenly remembered …
It seemed that Dumbo had lost before, and it had counted a hundred Orirocks from one Orirock tree to fifty.
Jiang He felt a headache coming on.
He had been hoping that the dog would improve a little so that it could run errands for him, but it turned out that the clever dog could not count.
"You can just dig randomly. Can't you just bury more of it?"
Then, Jiang He remembered the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers …
He had left the seven bottle gourd brothers at home on his trip to the Diamond Sect, and they were probably sleeping in their gourd at this hour.
"After planting these 280 spirit stones and the 100 that Wang Hou promised me … I'll have more than enough. I could feed them fertilizer every day and I wouldn't have to worry about improving their abilities … but the kids have to go to school."
Sending the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, Dumbo, and the others to school?
Jiang He was really worried that they would tear down the school.
"Should I …"
"Hire a home tutor?"
Jiang He thought even as he planted the Orirocks. "Forget it. Jinyintan Village has been divided into wildlands now. Which home tutor would be willing to come here to teach?"
There was a chance of running into Ferals on the way to his house for lessons.
"Eh …"
"I could plant a teacher!"
Jiang He's eyes suddenly lit up. He wouldn't have to worry about such problems if he planted a teacher.
Still …
What kind of teacher should he plant?
First, it had to be a girl, and she had to be good-looking with a hot body.
After all, a good-looking female teacher would usually be … pleasing to the eye?
