Within the capital.
Lin Tianzheng found Wang Hou and told him about the Fire Dragon Immortal.
Wang Hou sneered and cursed, "These secluded immortal sects kept saying that the time is not right and they can't come out, but now they're jumping around everywhere. Do they really think we're fools?"
Pausing, he then added, "Don't worry. I've learned a little about Jiang He's personality, and he would never do anything he's not confident about. Moreover, he knows about the hidden immortal sects, so he probably wouldn't fight the True Habitant of Nine Dragons."
Lin Tianzheng scowled. "I could hear Jiang He's attack even over the phone …"
Shocked, Wang Hou promptly dialed Jiang He's number.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had just finished dinner and was relaxing in the third-floor swimming pool. Answering the call, he asked with a smile, "Minister Wang, why did you suddenly call me?"
"Cut the crap."
Wang Hou went straight to the point, asking, "Where did the Immortal of Nine Dragons go?"
"Remember, the Secluded Celestial Sect has a deep foundation. The experts who are in hibernation have unfathomable strength. You must never have any conflict with the people of the Secluded Celestial Sect."
Jiang He: "…"
Conflict?
He had only detained them and planned to ask for some compensation. Was this considered a conflict?
No … I don't think so!?
Alright … To be more serious, this could even be considered kidnapping and blackmail …
"No, no, this is kidnapping at most. How can it be considered extortion?"
"They were the ones who looked down on me first. Then, when I made my move, I destroyed the walls of my house. Then, I destroyed more than a dozen houses in the village. Although these damages were caused by me, if it weren't for them, would I have done it?"
"In the end, it's all because of them."
Jiang He's thoughts cleared up considerably at that thought.
Therefore, he detained them at most to protect his own rights, so that he could smoothly get the "compensation". How could it be considered kidnapping and blackmailing?
As for the conflict?
"Don't worry, Minister Wang. I know what I'm doing."
He was right.
Jiang He believed that he had a sense of propriety when he did things. For example, when his courtyard wall was broken and over a dozen houses in the village were destroyed … he just had to have the Penglai Sect pay for his courtyard wall, while the Ten Thousand Swords Sect pay for the houses that Zhong Yue crashed into.
The two major Immortal Sects only needed to compensate him with three to five Spirit Artifacts, and he didn't ask for much.
Wang Hou let out a sigh of relief.
Know when to stop?
It's good to know your limits.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Jiang He, Wang Hou said, "By the way, Jiang He, you asked me to keep an eye out for mutated rice. Someone saw a mutated rice field in the wildlands of Southern China, and I've already sent someone to harvest it. When they're done, I'll send a divine-tier elite to deliver it to you as soon as possible."
"We've found a few mystic treasure fragments, but there's no way to identify or confirm them. It's just that someone from Wanshou Palace contacted the local Martial Arts Department (MAD), claiming that they have a mystic treasure left by their founding ancestor, which is now inside Wanshou Palace. However, there's a rank-nine spirit herb there that's powerful enough to occupy Wanshou Palace."
"The disciples of the Wanshou Palace are now living in the base city. They don't have the ability to bring that thing back. I'm going to go there myself tomorrow and help you search for it."
"Thanks a lot."
Jiang He thanked him, but Wang Hou said, "What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for you, half of China would've fallen. I should be the one thanking you. "
After making the call and taking a bath, Jiang He returned to his bedroom to cultivate.
Be that as it may …
After cultivating for half an hour, he sensed carefully and realized that his Primordial Spirit had not strengthened much. Even his magic power had not improved much. Immediately, he lost the mood to cultivate and complained, "If this goes on, when will I be able to achieve the Primordial Spirit Perfected?"
"What a shame that the rank-nine Life Spirit Fluid and the purple-golden sunflower seeds don't work on me anymore. Those things strengthen spirit, and now that my spirit has turned into the divine mind of my Yuan Spirit, the level of the Life Spirit Fluid and the purple-golden sunflower seeds are too low and can't keep up."
Jiang He thought then …
Perhaps he could get his hands on some medicinal pellets that could improve Yuan Spirit quickly?
"Elixirs that can increase the cultivation of the Primordial Divinity must be extremely expensive, but I don't need many. I only need a hundred or so. I'll plant them and eat them as snacks in the future. I don't believe that my Primordial Divinity cultivation can't increase!"
Jiang He whipped out his phone and contacted Old Mu of the Superpower Research Department, only to find that he did not have any pellet recipes for Yuan Spirit. Even if he did, the Superpower Research Department's current abilities would not be able to develop such pellets.
"Alright."
"By the way, I'll help you catch Feral Kings in two days, but I have a condition — the Superpower Research Department has to provide me with the initiation pellets they've developed recently."
Without any hesitation, the old man agreed with a smile, "We've gathered enough materials to refine over a thousand Opening Pellets. If you can help us capture two Kings alive, we can provide you with a thousand Opening Pellets within ten days."
Delighted, Jiang He quickly agreed.
A thousand initiation pellets, let alone two …
I could even catch up to five of them for you.
A handful of Feral Kings was nothing to Jiang He right now, but planting a thousand initiation pellets would earn him ten million Farm Points, which was enough to improve his cultivation up to Convergence-tier.
After hanging up, Jiang He took out a jade charm with a turn of his hand and sighed, saying, "I was planning to visit the secluded immortal sects after I reach Convergence-tier. I would have more confidence to negotiate with them when I'm stronger, but it seems that I'll have to go there first."
"The night is long anyway, and I'm not in the mood to sleep. I'll leave now, and I'll help the Superpower Research Department catch Ferals after I return from the Taixu Sect."
… …
Mount Kunlun, Taixu Sect.
After Elder Mo had reported everything in detail, the entire palace beneath the clouds was silent. It was only after a full minute that the Taixu Sect's Enlightened Being's voice could be heard, exclaiming in surprise, "Elder Mo, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"That Jiang He has five premium-grade flying swords and two sage items?"
"That's right."
Elder Mo spoke with certainty. "One of the two sage items is a flying sword that must be a wood-type sage item. It is not weak and could be a superior-grade sage item, while the other is a small black bell, which had trapped Zhong Yue, the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the True Habitant of Nine Dragons of the Penglai Sect. I'm guessing it's a mediocre-grade sage item."
"Interesting, interesting."
Deep within the temple, the Taixu Sect chieftain chuckled and said, "It seems that Jiang He's providence and legacy are more powerful than we imagined … he has condensed his Yuan Spirit at such a young age and possesses Convergence-tier combat ability, and is definitely one of the chosen protagonists of this era … Elder Mo, you did well by giving him the jade charm. If we could befriend someone like him, the chances of the Taixu Sect regaining its former glory would be much higher in the coming calamity."
Puzzled, Elder Mo asked, "Is there really a calamity in the future, chieftain?"
Deep within the temple, the Taixu Sect chieftain's voice was faint as he sighed, "There definitely will be … and it's not far away."
"Chieftain, why would the Hundred Races of the Outer Realms invade Earth during the pre-Qin era?"
"I don't know."
The Taixu Sect chieftain shook his head, unsure if he really did not know or could not say.
There were thousands of questions in Elder Mo's mind, but he could not press the matter since the chieftain would not say. Hence, he promptly asked, "Chieftain, what about the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
The Taixu Sect chieftain smiled. "Since Jiang He has asked you to send a message, help him do so. Tomorrow, take my jade charm and visit the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect." “
Elder Mo accepted his orders and respectfully excused himself.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had arrived at the Kunlun Mountains.
Standing in the air, he stared at the colossal Kunlun Mountains from afar. Charging his mystic energy, a brilliant light shot out of his eyes as he stared at Mount Kunlun from afar, only to find a vast mist rising in his vision and shrouding the entire Kunlun Mountains.
"Gasp!"
Jiang He inhaled sharply and could not help exclaiming, "Such a colossal mountain guarding array seems to be more than ten times more advanced than the Sky Demon Cult's mountain guarding array. When I blew up the Sky Demon Cult's mountain guarding array, it took me ten Doom Shrooms with a yield of 500,000 tons. If I blow up the Taixu Sect's mountain guarding array, I would need at least … five hundred Doom Shrooms!"
Five hundred Doom Shrooms was the number Jiang He had calculated precisely.
With the defensive capabilities of the mountain guarding array increased by ten times, the energy needed to break it would definitely increase linearly.
Moreover, the mountain guarding array was not activated yet.
It would be even more powerful once activated, which was why it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would need at least five hundred Doom Shrooms.
After all, there were only 300,000 tons of Doom Shrooms left, and five hundred of them would only yield 150 million tons …
"Hmmm …"
"A hundred and fifty million tons, huh?"
Jiang He flew closer to Mount Kunlun, charging his jade charm even as he thought to himself, "A hundred and fifty million tons of Doom Shrooms should be enough to blow up this array."
At the same time that he infused his mystic energy into the jade charm, Elder Mo, who had just returned to his room in the Taixu Sect, had a twitch in his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang He?"
"He's here as a guest at the Taixu Sect so soon?"
