After planting the initiation pellets and taking a look at the Mysterious Seed that had just sprouted, Jiang He returned to the mansion.
Sora was busying herself in the kitchen in her maid costume.
The thick aroma of rice wafted throughout the mansion.
Boa Hancock walked to him and said charmingly, "Have some tea, Master."
Today, she had also changed into a maid outfit, the same style as Sora Aoi's. Her impressive figure was perfectly displayed.
Jiang He usually did not drink tea.
After all, drinking tea energized the central nervous system of the brain. To put it bluntly, he would feel less sleepy. How could that be?
His sleep quality was poor in the first place, and drinking tea …
Was he going to sleep or not?
Still, Jiang He prepared some good tea since he would have guests visiting his house from time to time. After all, he could not just give them a bottle of Origin Fluid every time they came, could he?
Those in the know would say it was Origin Fluid, but those who did not would think that he was belittling them.
Hence, he had a sip of tea.
Feeling the faint fragrance in his mouth, Jiang He could not help chuckling. "This Big Red Robe that costs over twenty million a kilogram really tastes good."
Jiang He had asked someone to buy his tea leaves, which cost over twenty million per kilogram.
The tea leaves were not that expensive at first, but after the Revival of Qi, the Nine Dragons Lair was shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round, and even divine-tier elites would lose themselves if they entered. That was why the tea leaves had become priceless, and in just a few years, the price had risen from eight million per kilogram to over twenty million.
Jiang He wondered if he should find a chance to visit the Nine Dragons Lair and move the six centuries-old mother trees over to his farm.
It would be great if he could take care of the tea trees and taste authentic Big Red Robe when he was old.
After two cups of tea, Sora had already prepared dinner.
It was ten at night when Jiang He had his fill and rested for a while.
Arriving at his farm and plucking a new batch of Doom Shrooms, Jiang He turned to look at the ten apricot trees.
The reason he called them apricot trees was because the leaves of the ten trees were very similar to apricots. Most importantly, the initiation pellets hanging on them were the same size as apricots, glinting with a faint golden hue just like a ripe apricot.
"The initiation pellet trees …"
Jiang He counted carefully. There were a hundred initiation pellets on each tree, which matched his prediction.
Zhang Xuan reached out and plucked one of them.
"Ding!"
[+ 100 Farm Points]
The System Notification jingled in his head, lifting Jiang He's spirits.
Each initiation pellet was worth a hundred Farm Points, and each initiation pellet tree had a hundred of them. That meant that he could earn 10000 Farm Points from each tree, and he had two hundred of them.
"Two million Farm Points …"
Jiang He was filled with vigor at once. After plucking all the initiation pellets from the ten trees, he planted the remaining 190.
After he was done, Jiang He went beneath the willow tree, took out an initiation pellet and swallowed it.
"…"
After he finished eating, he was a little surprised.
Not only did this thing look like an apricot, but it also tasted like an apricot. It tasted sweet and sour, and was quite delicious.
Once the initiation pellet was in his belly, Jiang He circulated his True Qi and began to cultivate it.
Hence, the entire initiation pellet turned into a pure medicinal essence that flowed within Jiang He's body.
But after swimming for half a day …
* Hua … *
It dissipated.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on … wasn't the initiation pellet supposed to help with opening orifices? Why isn't there any effect after I ate it? "
Jiang He frowned, unable to understand no matter how he thought about it. As such, he took out another initiation pellet and ate it, but the result was the same as before. Unconvinced, he ate ten initiation pellets in a row, but there was no effect at all. He could not help exclaiming in surprise, "Could the Superpower Research Department have developed a fake initiation pellet?"
"No, that's not it. I've already planted it, and the System rewarded me with quite a lot of Farm Points. Clearly, the initiation pellets are real!"
"The Superpower Research Department had also gotten someone to test the pellets after they were developed, and every martial artist who consumed the pellets had successfully opened one orifice."
A thought occurred to Jiang He then.
Even so, he was a little doubtful.
Taking out another initiation pellet and holding it before his eyes for a closer look, the data of the pellet appeared before his eyes.
[Initiation Pellet]
[Function: Assists in opening orifices.]
[Gentle reminder: The more orifices opened, the lesser the effect of the initiation pellet.]
"I knew it!"
Jiang He flashed a pained smile and sighed. "It seems that I've opened a lot of orifices … but the System said that the more orifices opened, the lesser the effect. It's not as if there's no effect at all, but I've eaten ten initiation pellets and it's completely useless. Doesn't that mean …"
"My orifices are all opened?"
That was probably the only possibility.
Still, Jiang He was a little doubtful.
What the heck?
Wasn't it said that the more orifices opened, the better one's talent and prodigy?
But he …
Was he even a prodigy?
Calling the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, Dumbo, Trumbo, the Blazing Violet-Golden Eaglets, and the Golden Eaglets, Jiang He took out dozens of initiation pellets and distributed them, saying, "These are initiation pellets. Try them and see if you can open your orifices."
The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers opened their mouths and were about to eat the pellets when Dumbo's eyes went red and it promptly lunged at them, stopping them and yelling, "Don't … don't eat them!"
Trumbo realized something as well and shuddered all over, meowing, "Don't eat them, all of you …"
It had gone to stop the Blazing Violet-Golden Eaglets and the Golden Eaglets.
"What is it?"
Jiang He frowned. Had those two lost their minds?
Still, come to think of it, both Dumbo and Trumbo seemed a little different from before. It was as if their fur had been groomed. When Jiang He asked, cat and dog only answered, "We went to a barbershop when we were shopping in Jingdu City."
"…"
Jiang He was a little doubtful.
The barbershop will take care of the hair of a dog and a cat?
Most importantly, how could they do it so well?
Dumbo chuckled and said, "Actually, the owner of the barbershop refused us, and even smashed the Yuanbao when we took it out, saying that his shop serves humans and not animals!"
"And then?"
"Then, Trumbo took out its blade and used its Blade Qi as a pen to write something on the ground, and the owner stopped talking."
Jiang He turned towards Trumbo, who whipped out its blade and was about to write something again when Jiang He stopped it with a look. Scratching its ear with its paw, it said in embarrassment, "I just told him that all life is equal, but I don't know why he suddenly became afraid of us."
Jiang He: "…"
How could they not be afraid when you've taken out your blade?
Then, he asked Dumbo and Trumbo why they would not let others eat the initiation pellets.
Dumbo looked aggrieved and wiped its tears, saying, "Master, those medicinal pellets were developed with our essence … I feel like they're eating us when they eat them."
Jiang He could not help laughing and consoled it, "It's fine. I planted those pellets, and they're no longer the original pellets. Moreover, you've said that the initiation pellets were developed with your essence as a catalyst, so they would at most be drinking your blood when they eat them. Why would it be as serious as eating you?"
Both Dumbo and Trumbo mused about it for a while before nodding. That seemed to make sense.
Soon, the cat, dog, the two golden eaglets, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers all ran off to a corner of the farm to cultivate. Meanwhile, Jiang He whipped out his phone and surfed the Internet to kill time while he waited for the initiation pellets and the Doom Shrooms to ripen.
It was another sleepless night …
When it was seven in the morning, Jiang He finally plucked the last initiation pellet.
And when it was seven in the morning, he finally plucked the last initiation pellet.
The Doom Shrooms were all plucked as well.
"Phew ~ ~"
Breathing a long sigh, a smile appeared on Jiang He's face … he was finally done.
His gaze shifted, and he turned on his System to check his stats panel —
[Name: Jiang He]
[Cultivation: Immortal Path — full-fledged Golden Pellet; Martial Arts — divine-tier (divine union)]
[Ability: Royal Sword, fire]
[Martial Arts Cultivation Method]: Vajra Indestructible Divine Art (Greater Mastery +), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Greater Mastery), Blind Princess's Eight Practices (Third Practice +), Strengthened Nine Yang Divine Art (Eighth Level +), Ninefold Thunder Blade (Greater Mastery), Dragon Elephant Prajna Art (Greater Mastery), Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula (Third Level +), Three Thousand Calamities (Second Level +), Ice and Fire Duality Sword Formation (Greater Mastery), Twenty-Three Swords (First Style)
[Owned Land: 9 Mu]
[Farm Level: 5 (EXP 458000/500000)]
[System Backpack: 24 boxes]
[System Shop: Unlocked]
[Farm Points: 4250000]
"Why is it only ten thousand Farm Points?"
Jiang He frowned and did some silent calculations.
"I got two million points from the initiation pellets, and the Doom Shrooms would be around a million, excluding the nitrogen fertilizer cost … there are also several premium-grade soul items, sage items, and Boa Hancock … hmmm, that's about it."
4.25 million …
That was a little too little.
It was slightly less than what he had expected. He had estimated that he could earn about 4.5 million. At that time, in addition to cultivating the third level of the Three Thousand Calamities and raising his cultivation level to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, he could also cultivate the Twenty-Three Swords to the greater mastery and learn two more moves of the Sword Array.
Just as Jiang He was calculating and planning …
Boom!
Suddenly, the dull sound of Yuan Qi rioting echoed from the Farm.
The Cloudscraper Vine, which had been silent for two days, suddenly burst out with a violent aura.
Its 18 vines, which were nearly 400 meters long, swayed wildly. One by one, the vines soared into the sky and quickly split into 36 vines in midair. These 36 vines continued to grow.
"The Cloudscraper Vine is ascending?"
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face, but he soon frowned.
He sensed numerous auras and psychic powers, and they were actually brazenly investigating this place.
Taking to the skies, Jiang He's spirit quaked and dispersed the veins of probing energy, coldly saying, "Who would be so bold as to probe me, Jiang He?"
