"Master!"
Sora came to greet him.
Behind her, Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the two golden eaglets all gathered around.
Arriving at a corner of the farm, Jiang He marked out a plot of land and said, "Flatten the land here. We'll build a mansion here later, and we might have to stay in the farm often in the future."
"Don't worry, Master. I'll get it done!"
Charging its earth-type powers, Dumbo leveled the land Jiang He had marked out. Still, it did not feel good, and so ran to the Cloudscraper Vine to hold it up in the air with one of its tendrils before unleashing several Strength Diamond Crushing Palms downwards.
"You're quite smart, you dog."
Jiang He could not help chuckling.
Whipping out a capsule, he threw it on the leveled ground.
Pow!
After a puff of smoke, a Chinese-styled mansion appeared at a corner of the farm. It appeared a little out of place, and did not feel like the 'idyllic lifestyle' he had imagined.
"It needs some embellishment …"
Jiang He mused to himself for a while.
He should build a fence around the Chinese-styled mansion.
There was a ready-made one for that.
The sunflower stalks left from planting the purple-golden sunflowers were piled up in the farm, and they would be perfect for a fence after some cutting.
"After the fence is done, I'll make a simple bamboo gate and plant various flowers around the fence. I'll plant a small tree in the yard and a rattan chair beneath it, along with a stone table and chairs beside it. It'll be perfect if I plant some home-cooked fruits and vegetables in the corner of the yard."
"After the farm expands again, I can build a park outside the yard, build some artificial mountains, dig a man-made lake, build some pavilions, catch some fish and shrimp to keep in it, and when I'm free, I can go fishing with a few girls and catch loaches. Isn't that great?"
Jiang He then told Sora about his idea.
At Jiang He's words, Dumbo flattered, "That's a good idea, Master. Our house would definitely be very beautiful if that's the case."
"If you know it's beautiful, why don't you get to work?"
Jiang He glared.
Dumbo promptly called out to Trumbo and went to work. Both cat and dog were quite strong now.
"That's it for now. I'll get some bamboo later. Only a bamboo fence will look more artistic."
After that, Jiang He had Dumbo dig over twenty more holes.
In one breath, he spent 100,000 Enhancement Points to exchange for 20 bags of Mysterious Soil.
Jiang He finally understood that it was actually a high-grade fertilizer that promotes the growth of crops and strengthens them.
Taking out the Autumn Water Sword that was left with only the hilt and a third of its blade, Jiang He planted it and poured out an entire bag of Mysterious Soil. You have to give something up to gain, and it would be a huge profit if he managed to plant another premium-grade flying sword.
The next step was to plant mushrooms.
Dumbo stared curiously at the Doom Shroom in Jiang He's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, why does that black, swarthy thing look like dog pee moss?"
Dog pee moss was a type of mushroom that usually grew on smelly walls or dried feces. It was mildly poisonous and would turn black when exposed to sunlight. Jiang He did not know what other places called it, but here at Lingzhou City, it was called 'dog pee moss', meaning that it would only grow on walls where dogs peed on.
He took another look at the Doom Shroom in his hand …
Others aside.
It really did look like it.
Still, the name 'dog pee moss' sounded weird coming from Dumbo's mouth.
Hence, Jiang He put one Doom Shroom into the soil and opened another bag of Mysterious Soil. He poured in half of it and planted 28 Doom Shrooms at once, using up the 20 bags of Mysterious Soil he had redeemed.
At that moment, a sword beam grew out from the ground where the Autumn Water Sword had been planted.
This section of the sword light emitted an emerald green brilliance, like a lake with circles of ripples. As the sword light grew larger, there were even sounds of waves coming from it.
Around two hours later, the emerald sword flash stopped growing.
Jiang He reached out and grasped at the sword flash, which promptly shrank and turned into an emerald longsword that landed in Jiang He's palm.
[Ding!]
[+ 10,000 Farm Points.]
A System Notification jingled in his head. Delighted, Jiang He exclaimed, "A premium-grade soul weapon!"
The System rewarded him with 10,000 Farm Points when he harvested the Scarlet Flame Sword … clearly, the Autumn Water Sword was a premium-grade soul weapon as well.
Jiang He stared at the Autumn Water Sword in his hand, and a bunch of data appeared before his eyes —
[Autumn Water Sword]
[Tier: premium-grade soul weapon]
Jiang He laughed out loud, grabbing the Autumn Water Sword and slashed at his fingertip.
Clang!
The sound of clashing steel echoed.
Jiang He: "…"
Now that he had mastered the Third Tier of the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula, Jiang He's physique was almost ten times stronger. Even a casual slash from a premium-grade flying sword would have a hard time cutting his skin.
There was no helping it.
He had to cut as hard as he could.
Cutting his finger and dripping a drop of blood onto the Autumn Water Sword, Jiang He retorted as he refined the sword, "Who actually invented the blood-dripping sacrificial method for mystic treasures … isn't that a little too much?"
Now that he had mastered the Third Tier of the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula, it would be difficult to cut his skin.
When he cultivated the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula up to the fourth or fifth tier …
The premium-grade flying sword would probably not cut his skin even if he cut it in half. How was he supposed to refine mystic treasures then?
"I'll have to plant higher-grade mystic treasures then … or bite with my teeth?"
Jiang He had a flash of inspiration then. Biting with his teeth was definitely not a problem since teeth were tougher than the body in the first place, and he could still bite through his skin after strengthening them.
And now, he had two premium-grade flying swords.
The fire-type Scarlet Flame Sword and the water-type Autumn Water Sword were perfect for cultivating the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array.
Jiang He was recording the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array when a System Notification jingled in his head —
[Ding!]
[Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array detected. Consume 300000 Farm Points to cultivate the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, Host?]
Three hundred thousand …
So expensive!
Jiang He complained. Including the ten thousand Farm Points the System rewarded him with when he harvested the Autumn Water Sword, he only had three hundred and ten thousand Farm Points now.
He would be a pauper again after cultivating it.
Cultivate!
With a thought, a crisp System Notification jingled in his head again —
[Ding!]
[-300,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have cultivated the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array to mastery.]
In that split second, substantial information about the Sword Array surged into Jiang He's mind. With a thought, Jiang He invoked the Scarlet Flame Sword and the Autumn Water Sword, charging the two flying swords according to the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array. Waves of sword hum could be heard as the Scarlet Flame Sword turned into a fiery radiance, while the Autumn Water Sword turned into a water radiance.
The water radiance and fire interweaved in the air as the sword cut down upon it.
Whoosh!
Even the gray mist above the farm was torn apart a little.
Jiang He beckoned and put away the Scarlet Flame Sword and the Autumn Water Sword, all smiles.
The Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array …
It was very powerful.
That sword strike just now was several times more powerful than the White Foal Crosses the Rift, the first style of the Three Thousand Calamities.
"With the Third Tier of the Nine Heavenly Star Body Formula and the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, I finally have what it takes to kill the Sky Demon Cult's Saint and the Dragoncroc Emperor …" Jiang He turned to look at the Doom Shroom on the ground.
The Doom Shroom had matured as well.
Its size was double its previous size, but its appearance did not change at all. From its appearance, it was just a dark, swarthy … dog urine moss.
Jiang He reached out and plucked one.
[Ding!]
[+ 1000 Farm Points.]
Eh?
Jiang He's face twitched.
One …
The Doom Shroom earned him a thousand Farm Points?
Then …
There were over a thousand of them. Did that not mean he could earn another wave of Farm Points?
Of course.
Farm Points or not was secondary. Jiang He was most concerned about the Doom Shroom's attributes.
He looked at the Doom Shroom in his hand, and a bunch of data appeared before his eyes.
[Doom Shroom]
[A mutated mushroom with a bad temper. It explodes violently upon collision.]
[Yield: 500,000 tons.]
