Nonetheless, Jiang He eventually gave up on the idea of getting Cheng Dongfeng to test the effect of the cabbage.
It was said that Cheng Dongfeng was the only one left of the Cheng clan's Eight Trigrams lineage. Moreover, he was unmarried even now, and wouldn't that mean the end of the line if his swelling was treated?
Mu Wanqiu and Wu Yueru arrived around half-past eight.
The red off-road vehicle slammed on the brakes in front of Jiang He's house, and Mu Wanqiu promptly jumped off, touching her chest expectantly. "Jiang He, do you really have a way to shrink me?"
"I'm not sure, which is why I'm asking you to try."
Jiang He answered truthfully.
Inwardly, he was a little emotional.
Women …
Were troublesome. They could not be too small, nor could they be too big. Men did not have such troubles, and Jiang He never complained about being big.
Wu Yueru was sitting in Mu Wanqiu's car as well, with two trucks following behind.
Once the trucks stopped, Jiang He instructed Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers to move the cucumbers onto the truck. Cat, dog, and the seven brothers were not weak, and they were ferocious when they moved the cucumbers, moving up to seventy in one go.
Moreover …
The reason they moved the cucumbers was not because they could not move them, but because it was difficult.
"Good seedlings!"
Wu Yueru's eyes lit up, and she glanced at the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, asking, "Mister Jiang, did you adopt these seven children? I can see that they are still walking briskly even after moving so many things, and their qi and blood are stable. They must be good seedlings for martial arts, so why don't you send them to the Martial Arts Academy to learn martial arts? "
Jiang He chuckled in response. "Your Martial Arts Academy can't teach them."
"They are just seven or eight years old. Why can't our Martial Arts Academy teach them?"
Wu Yueru was puzzled. She looked closely at the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and could not help doing a double take, exclaiming in shock, "Why do they look exactly the same?"
"Of course they look the same, septuplets."
Jiang He blurted out. Surely he could not tell her the truth, could he?
"Impossible!"
Wu Yueru stopped the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers and circled around them. She carefully looked at the seven little kids. She saw that the seven brothers looked exactly the same except for the color of their dudou and gourd hair accessories. She was shocked and murmured, "Septuplets are rare to see in a hundred years, and septuplets that look exactly the same are probably the only seven in the world."
She continued, wanting to recruit the seven brothers to study at the Martial Arts Academy, leaving Jiang He with a headache …
Why are you staring at these seven little fellows?
Don't go there and tear down your martial arts academy.
Just as Jiang He was wondering if he should lay his cards on the table with Wu Yueru, he heard a 'hetui' from his front gates. Soon, he saw an azure blade flash shooting into the distance, cutting down over eight houses with a splat.
Rumble!
The house collapsed and dust flew everywhere.
Jiang He appeared outside in a flash, only to find Fourth Brother, who was hugging a cucumber, looking as if he had done something wrong. He lowered his head, afraid to look at Jiang He as he whispered, "Gramps, I just sneezed by accident."
"Sneezed by accident?"
Jiang He scowled. "The slashes you breathe out now almost match a divine-tempest martial artist's full-powered strike. Wouldn't you cut down hundreds of people if you sneezed by accident in the city?"
"Wouldn't you slaughter an entire city if you seven brothers sneezed at the same time?"
Fourth Brother lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang He sighed and said, "All of you are not weak now, so you must learn to control your strength. Practice more after carrying the cucumbers."
"Understood, gramps."
Fourth Brother answered obediently.
"As for the six of you, practice more as well."
The other six brothers answered in unison.
Behind Jiang He, Wu Yueru's red lips were parted slightly, her eyes filled with shock. Jiang He turned, assuming that she was shocked after witnessing Fourth Brother's' combat ability ', and promptly smiled. "As you can see, Director Wu, these seven brats are all divine-tier martial artists even though they are young. Moreover, their cultivation methods are rather special and not suitable for your martial arts academy."
Even so, Wu Yueru's focus was not on that.
Coming to her senses, she studied Jiang He from head to toe and exclaimed in surprise, "Mister Jiang, did those seven kids just call you gramps?"
"…"
Jiang He scowled, not wanting to talk to Wu Yueru.
Wu Yueru did not press further when she saw that Jiang He was unwilling to talk, though her mind began to fill in the blanks … Jiang He had a grandson?
Could it be that he was actually not as young as he appeared on the surface, and that his real age was actually that of an old man?
That was very possible!
After all, with Jiang He's ability, it would not be difficult for him to maintain his current appearance even if he was hundreds of years old, let alone decades!
Back in the yard, Wu Yueru pulled Mu Wanqiu aside and whispered, "Darling, I might have discovered something serious …"
The two girls whispered to each other, shooting weird looks at Jiang He from time to time. Still, Jiang He was not bothered or bothered to explain. Meanwhile, Sora had already cooked a plate of cabbage, and Jiang He called out to Mu Wanqiu, saying, "Have a bite."
"Is this … cabbage?"
Mu Wanqiu was perplexed. She knew that Jiang He's eggplant could shrink her and had it before, but Jiang He said that it looked better when it was bigger and did not sell her more eggplants.
Doubtfully, she took a bite of the cabbage, and her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "It's really not bad …"
Even as she spoke, she took another big bite.
Beside her, Wu Yueru started to eat as well when she saw that, but Jiang He quickly stopped her, saying, "Take it easy, beauties. Don't ask me for compensation if you end up like an airport runway."
Stunned, the two girls quickly held back their appetite and put down their chopsticks.
Meanwhile, Jiang He was staring carefully at a certain spot between them, observing the changes in size.
Around five minutes after they finished the cabbage, a certain spot began to shrink. Jiang He used his spirit to scan it, but the flimsy clothes did not block his probing at all. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "It has shrunk a little, and it has become rounder and firmer."
Firmer?
Perhaps that thing was more suited for men?
The two girls promptly blushed, while Mu Wanqiu pouted coquettishly, "Bleh, pervert."
At a loss for words, Jiang He was displeased. "Miss Mu, as the saying goes, doctors are like parents. My current identity is more or less a plastic surgeon to you, isn't it? How could you slander me like that? "
His tone then changed as he said, "You don't have to keep eating, Director Wu. It's just the right size, rounder, and firmer. As for Miss Mu … you could have more if you think it's too big."
Wu Yueru blushed even more. She could not stand Jiang He's teasing.
It was only because Jiang He was handsome — she would have slapped him if he was ugly. Hence, she promptly rose to her feet and said coyly, "Mister Jiang, I'll go see if they're done packing the cucumbers."
After Wu Yueru left, Mu Wanqiu had a few more bites of the cabbage.
She was being very careful, afraid that the parts that had grown bigger after much difficulty would return to their original flat state. It took half an hour for Mu Wanqiu to adjust the size, and there was a look of delight and delight on her face. Holding the parts with both hands, she deliberately jumped up and down a few times, making them bob up and down as she looked at Jiang He smugly, holding her head high as if showing off.
Jiang He could not help laughing. "Please don't play with fire, Miss Mu. Be careful not to burn yourself."
Mu Wanqiu promptly restrained herself considerably.
Jiang He mused to himself for seconds before asking tentatively, "To tell the truth, Miss Mu, the real effect of this cabbage I've cultivated is to reduce swelling … and now that the swelling is showing, I wonder if it's good for water …"
At his words, Mu Wanqiu touched her face and arm with a finger, exclaiming in delight, "My skin really feels much softer …"
Skin … softer?
So, that was what 'good for water' meant?
Jiang He was a little disappointed.
Puzzled, Mu Wanqiu asked in return, but Jiang He said, "It's fine. I just remembered something unhappy."
He went outside to find that the several hundred thousand catties of cucumbers were almost loaded.
The truck he found was almost filled to the brim.
There were around twenty tons of cabbages, but most importantly, they were huge and took up so much space that a single truck could not fit all of them. Jiang He had to wait until the truck carrying the cucumbers returned and made another trip before everything could be moved.
"These cucumbers and cabbages are spirit plants that I've spent a lot of effort to cultivate. The cucumber has the ability to detoxify, strengthen Qi and blood, and strengthen mental strength. As for the cabbages, in addition to reducing swelling, ordinary warriors and Awakened Transcendents can also strengthen their physique and mental strength. Take these things as a token of my appreciation. Bring them back for the teachers and students of the academy."
Wu Yueru bowed in gratitude, her image of Jiang He becoming even greater in her mind.
At the same time, Jiang He smiled and instructed, "By the way, try not to let the girls eat the cabbages, or they'll end up like flat planes. I'm afraid someone would come after me when that happens."
Both girls chuckled.
Soon.
After seeing off Wu Yueru and Mu Wanqiu, Jiang He returned to his mansion, where Sora and Boa had just finished preparing breakfast: steamed buns, Dragontooth Rice porridge, and a boiled cabbage.
After breakfast, Jiang He drove to the city and bought a lot of 'flags', almost emptying every 'plate' in the cutlery shop.
Around noon, Jiang He returned home and started to make array boards and flags.
Soon, night arrived.
In his farm, Jiang He nodded in satisfaction at the icons representing array boards and flags in his System Backpack, as well as the number '10000' behind them.
"10000 array boards and flags are enough for me for a long time."
Since it was still early, Jiang He decided to lay out the array that protected his house.
Since it was the array that protected his house, he certainly could not skimp on materials. Jiang He spent a thousand array boards and array flags, as well as 50000 Orirocks to lay out the array. When the Great Nine Heavens Array of Dragon Sealing, the Nine Heavens Thunderflame Array, the Earthen Black Tortoise Array, and the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Array were completed, Yuan Qi surged toward him wildly within fifty kilometers, and the silhouette of the array took to the air.
"Hide!"
Charging his mystic energies, Jiang He hid the four arrays and created some jade charms, distributing them to Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, Boa, Sora, and the others.
"You wouldn't trigger the arrays with the jade charms, or even Sufferance-tier cultivators would be in trouble if you do."
He then looked up at the Stargate up in the skies …
"Forget it. These four formations have already drained the world's Yuan Qi within a hundred miles. I'll set up the formations at the Stargate later."
He returned to his farm and glanced at the Mosquito Cutter.
"Isn't the Mosquito Cutter growing a little too slowly?"
"Whatever, I'll let it grow slowly. I'll leave tomorrow morning for the Superpower Research Department's headquarters in Jingdu City, and then head overseas to help them capture Feral Kings. I'll see if I could kill a Yuan Spirit daemon and steal its Daemonic Pellet or something along the way …"
…
Meanwhile!
Over the vast oceans overseas.
Several figures abruptly appeared, riding sword radiance as they flew toward the Hua Nation.
They were the elites of the Penglai Sect, with the True Habitant of Nine Dragons among them. Aside from the True Habitant of Nine Dragons, there were three others, two of whom were full-fledged Yuan Spirit and one Convergence-tier.
They streaked through the night skies, and after entering the borders of the Hua Nation, they flew into a towering mountain range.
Array radiance flickered within those mountains, and Zhong Wanshan, the vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, welcomed them, laughing out loud. "Brothers of the Penglai Sect … come, come in."
Zhong Wanshan led the True Habitant of Nine Dragons and the other Penglai Sect elites into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, preparing immortal brew and desserts. After some small talk, Jiang He was brought up, and Zhong Wanshan clenched his teeth in anger.
Laughing coldly, he said, "We'll let Jiang He have his way for half a day. Tomorrow, I'll travel with the other brothers of the Penglai Sect to meet him."
