Both Ji Dongxu and Zhou Yu felt a little conflicted. Hence, they picked up the sunflower seeds in front of them and munched on one each, noticing that their spirit had improved slightly.
Though it was small, it was the same for a single sunflower seed. After munching on a handful of sunflower seeds, the increase in spirit was considerable.
Puzzled, Zhou Yu asked, "Mister Jiang, could you have found another purple-golden sunflower seed?"
Jiang He smiled but said nothing.
Planting it himself …
Zhou Yu and Ji Dongxu might be frightened if he told them about it. After all, Mu Wanqiu did mention that the Superpower Research Department had tried many times to cultivate and transplant floral spirits but had never succeeded. It meant that these things could not be planted and could only evolve and mutate in certain special environments.
As for whether it was really a purple-golden sunflower seed, you two could guess it yourselves. I don't want to explain, and you would have to hold it in even if you die of curiosity.
Beside them, Wang Jingwu was at a loss.
Ji Dongxu noticed the mysticism of the purple-golden sunflower seed and smiled. "Shouldn't you thank Mister Jiang?"
Wang Jingwu promptly thanked him, and carefully grabbed the purple-gold sunflower seeds Jiang He had put in front of him and munched on them. Even as he munched on the sunflower seeds, he felt his spirit growing, and his eyes reddened just then, as if he was about to cry.
He did not expect that he would have the chance to ascend as a grandmaster!
His grandfather, his father, and even his great-grandfather, had strived for that goal all their lives but never succeeded. And now, he actually had the chance to achieve the goal of his forefathers?
Still, this ascension was a little unusual …
Looking up, Wang Jingwu sneaked a look at Jiang He, only to find that Jiang He was munching on sunflower seeds and chatting away with Ji Dongxu and Deputy Zhou. He found it absurd at once.
Was that …
Sunflower seeds for real?
Even so, Jiang He's improved spirit would not lie. Even Ji Dongxu and Zhou Yu were a little baffled, let alone Wang Jingwu.
He was just munching on something so precious?
They wanted to put away the purple-golden sunflower seeds, but were too embarrassed to do so in front of Jiang He, and so munched on them with Jiang He …
Others aside, the purple-golden sunflower seeds tasted quite good. Most importantly, Jiang He must have stir-fried them, since there was a five-flavor aroma to them.
When the two of them finished eating the melon seeds, Wang Jingwu still hadn't broken through.
Jiang He glanced at Wang Jingwu then and said, "Your spirit is enough and your cultivation is up to par, but your cultivation doesn't seem to be powerful, which is why your qi and True Qi are lacking."
Jiang He then took out a bottle of mineral water and passed it to Wang Jingwu, saying, "Have some."
Wang Jingwu was stunned.
This mineral water …
Could it also be a treasure?
He stepped forward and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle. Immediately, a rich fragrance wafted through the room.
Ji Dongxu and Zhou Yu's expressions changed. "Origin Fluid of Life?"
"Yes."
Jiang He answered truthfully, "This is rank-nine Origin Fluid, a gift from the willow tree at Mount Helan. It improves qi and cultivation considerably … drink it, Dojo Master Wang."
Life … Vitality Origin Fluid?
And a ninth-class one at that?
Wang Jingwu knew about the Origin Fluid. Naturally, he knew that a drop of rank-9 Origin Fluid would cost at least five hundred thousand to one million yuan. How much would a bottle of it cost?
He couldn't even bear to drink it.
"For the Martial Dao Master Realm!"
Gritting his teeth, Wang Jingwu picked up the bottle and gulped it down, emptying the entire bottle of Origin Fluid in a single gulp.
In the next instant …
Boom!
Rank-seven aura erupted from his body. Wang Jingwu quickly sat cross-legged, directing his True Qi and harmonizing his spirit to cultivate.
After cultivating for over half an hour to stabilize his cultivation, he rose to his feet and offered Jiang He a fist-palm salute, bowing and saying respectfully, "Thank you, Mister Jiang."
Jiang He waved him off with a smile. "It's a fair trade. Let's not talk about that."
Wang Jingwu was reluctant, and bowed to Jiang He once more.
From his perspective, the broken sword was now worthless even if it was once a treasure. He would have thrown it away long ago if his grandfather had not collected it all those years ago. As for the purple-gold sunflower seeds and Origin Fluid that Jiang He casually took out … which one of them was not extremely precious?
He had profited greatly!
That was what Jiang He thought as well.
Exchanging some sunflower seeds and mineral water for a flying sword was a huge profit …
After all, rank-nine Origin Fluid was no different from mineral water to Jiang He right now.
Wang Jingwu wanted to treat Jiang He to a meal, but Jiang He said, "I have something to do today, so I won't be going. Maybe next time, and I'll definitely come and bother you when I come to Xi 'an City … by the way, does your dojo have an apprentice named Zhou Xiaolan?"
"Zhou Xiaolan?"
There were more than two hundred people in the dojo, so it was impossible for Wang Jingwu to recognize all of them. As for the teaching of the apprentices, it was usually his personal disciples who were responsible for it. However, there was a roster in the dojo. He found Zhou Xiaolan's name on the roster and found her home address and cell phone number.
Though it was one in the morning, would Zhou Xiaolan dare to delay Wang Jingwu's call?
She soon arrived at the martial arts dojo. Seeing that Wang Jingwu was personally waiting for her at the entrance of the dojo, she was immediately overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Wang Jingwu said, "Zhou Xiaolan, although I don't know how Mister Jiang met you, you must not offend Mister Jiang when you go up …"
Zhou Xiaolan was utterly confused … What Mister Jiang?
Wang Jingwu introduced Jiang He as they went upstairs.
Jiang He then turned to Zhou Xiaolan.
Zhou Xiaolan was around twenty years old and looked quite cute, although she was a little short at around 1.6 meters … but her figure was not bad at all, and she looked a little childish.
So big …
He could still hear her clapping over the phone yesterday, and it was definitely natural.
Jiang He smiled as a thought occurred to him. "We spoke on the phone yesterday, Miss Zhou."
"Oh …"
Zhou Xiaolan came to a realization and pointed at Jiang He. "It's you, the one who collected the mushrooms, isn't it?"
Jiang He nodded and said, "Let's not waste time, Miss Zhou. Lead me to the mushrooms, and I'll pay you when I find them."
Zhou Xiaolan was a little worried. She glanced at Wang Jingwu, who nodded discreetly. Only then did she say, "Mister Jiang, it's late at night. My hometown is over seventy kilometers away from Xi 'an City, and there's a mountain behind it. There are ferocious beasts occupying the mountain, and it's very dangerous …"
"It's fine. Just point the way."
Jiang He rose to his feet and headed downstairs.
Ji Dongxu and Zhou Yu followed him downstairs as well.
Zhou Xiaolan was a little nervous and whispered, "Dojo … Dojo Master … who is that person? Could he be plotting something against me by bringing me out in the middle of the night? "
Wang Jingwu gave Zhou Xiaolan a smack on the head and scolded through clenched teeth, "What's in that head of yours, young girl? If Mister Jiang is plotting something against you, that's the blessing of your ancestors. "
Zhou Xiaolan felt rather aggrieved.
Why was Dojo Master Wang scolding her?
Wang Jingwu then added, "Mister Jiang's grace has allowed me to ascend to rank-seven grandmaster. Haven't you always dreamed of awakening? Perhaps Mister Jiang could help you. "
"Take Mister Jiang to find something, and I'll take you in as my personal disciple when you come back."
Delighted, Zhou Xiaolan quickly gave chase.
Outside, Jiang He told Zhou Yu and Ji Dongxu, "Deputy Zhou, Grandmaster Ji, please wait a moment. I'll go get something."
He reached out and grasped, his True Qi wrapping around Zhou Xiaolan and taking her up into the air.
Zhou Xiaolan was left dumbstruck.
Flying …
She was flying?
Her eyes widened at Jiang He, and she could not help exclaiming, "Mister Jiang, are you … are you a legendary divine-tier elite?"
Jiang He could not help laughing. "Divine-tier is divine-tier. What does it have to do with legends? Alright, lead the way and we'll get there as soon as we can. I have something to do later. "
Composing herself, Zhou Xiaolan pointed in a direction.
Jiang He streaked through the night skies like a thunderbolt, and Zhou Xiaolan quickly said, "Mister Jiang, please fly slower and lower, or I won't be able to find my home …"
After all, it was night.
Zhou Xiaolan was not even a martial artist. How could her vision be that good?
Jiang He smiled. "No need. I've found your house."
Jiang He's spirit swept out, and he found the village Zhou Xiaolan mentioned.
He descended from the skies and landed at the entrance of a dilapidated village.
From the looks of the well-preserved houses, the villagers of the village must have lived quite well. There were even several mansions in the village, and the remaining houses were all tiled houses.
Zhou Xiaolan's yard, however, was more well-preserved.
What surprised Jiang He was …
Her house's courtyard was even bigger than his own. It was more than four acres of land. Apart from the five bright red brick houses, there was also a garage. Behind the garage was a garden … In the garden, there were six mushroom sheds.
Zhou Xiaolan appeared a little sad, but she smiled. "I grew up here since I was young. My father and grandfather grew up here, and I remember that my family was very poor when I was young. Later, my father went out to learn mushroom farming, and after he returned to the village, he started to grow mushrooms with the government's support. That was how our living conditions improved, and it led many other farmers to grow mushrooms."
"My family also has a mushroom processing factory behind the village, but it's abandoned now."
"Looks like you're a family of landowners."
Jiang He teased as he walked towards one of the mushroom sheds.
His spiritual power had already discovered the "Doom Shroom" that Zhou Xiaolan was talking about. This mushroom shed was densely packed with those mushrooms.
As for the other three sheds …
One of them had long since been blown up, and the other two did not have any special mushrooms.
In fact, this was the only shed in the entire village that had Doom Shrooms, and there were at least a thousand of them.
As Jiang He walked towards the shed, Zhou Xiaolan quickly said, "Be careful, Mister Jiang. Those mushrooms would self-destruct if you get too close."
"It's fine."
When Jiang He was ten meters away from the shed, he extended his hand and grasped the air, his True Qi drawing out one of the Doom Shrooms.
It looked ninety percent similar to the Doom Shrooms in Plants Vs Zombies, and was entirely pitch-black. When it landed in Jiang He's hand, two eyes that resembled flames suddenly appeared over it, and the entire mushroom expanded, nurturing a frightening aura within.
Jiang He extended his senses carefully, and realized that there was a unique energy within the mushroom. It was rapidly colliding, changing, and then …
Pow!
It blew up in Jiang He's hand.
Zhou Xiaolan was stunned, but Jiang He was completely fine. "It's much more powerful than you said," he said. "It seems that the mushrooms did not stop evolving and mutating even after all this time."
The explosion just now did not seem that powerful, but that was because Jiang He had suppressed it with his True Qi and spirit.
Jiang He estimated that the power of the Doom Shroom's explosion would not lose out to his mung bean bullets. In fact, one Doom Shroom was equal to three strengthened pea bombs, and if he could plant it with some Mysterious Soil and strengthen it …
"Incidentally, the pea bombs are too weak and not enough for me … and the Doom Shrooms are just right."
Jiang He had thought about asking the military for nuclear bombs, but gave up when he considered that the radiation from those weapons was too powerful. Now that he had the Doom Shrooms, he did not have to worry about radiation.
