It took Jiang He half an hour to count and categorize his spoils of war.
At that very moment, Jiang He was thrilled. There was only one word he could use to describe his gains this time: huge!
"43000 inferior-grade spirit stones, 4,100 mediocre-grade spirit stones, 380 superior-grade spirit stones, 38 inferior-grade, mediocre-grade, and premium-grade soul items, including eight sets of defensive armor, four mystic treasures, and 26 offensive soul items such as swords, blades, and spears."
"6 inferior-grade sage items."
"3 mediocre-grade sage items."
"2 superior-grade sage items."
"Medicinal pellets, paper talismans, cultivation manuals …"
Most of the inferior-grade spirit stones were provided by the Yuan Spirit cultivators, and they did not have many mediocre-grade spirit stones, just around a hundred or so each of them. What surprised Jiang He the most was the True Habitant of the Penglai Sect. Though he appeared to be poor, he was actually the wealthiest of them all.
He had over two thousand mediocre-grade spirit stones and two hundred superior-grade spirit stones.
His mystic treasure was a superior-grade sage item with a unique design. It looked a little like the scimitar used by Cordo, a Sky Demon Cultist whom Jiang He had killed before, and was almost semi-circular.
Moreover, the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun had a mediocre-grade defensive armor and over a dozen soul items.
Hong Shanze's bottle gourd was a superior-grade sage item.
Inside his bottle gourd were two inferior-grade sage flying swords and one mediocre-grade sage flying sword.
He had gained a lot of medicinal pellets, but aside from the spirit condensation pellets, Jiang He did not recognize anything else. He could not even differentiate their grades, which left Jiang He a little dumbfounded … Why would a great master pellet refinist like him not be able to identify these medicinal pellets?
Could the Jiang-Style Pellet Refinement he had created be flawed?
It was now noon.
There was a mansion and a kitchen in the farm.
Boa Hancock and Sora had prepared lunch, and after that, Jiang He began his planting.
There were a total of 43000 spirit stones, and there were 4,100 even after deducting the inferior-grade spirit stones that he had eliminated. It was too troublesome to dig holes and plant them one by one.
Hence …
As if planting rice, Jiang He sprinkled spirit stones over the farm.
Then, Dumbo used its earth-type powers to turn the soil and bury all the spirit stones.
"Even magic treasures and pills are planted this way …"
Jiang He did the same, planting every mystic treasure and medicinal pellets he had harvested.
In the end, there weren't many talismans left, only a dozen or so. But to his surprise, six of them were "Thunder Talismans", and they were all found on the Wan Jian House's disciples.
"Don't tell me that the Myriad Sword Sect has a Talisman Master that specializes in Thunder Talismans?"
"If that's really the case, I'll capture that grandmaster and have him continuously refine Thunder Talismans for me … At that time, I'll throw out dozens of Thunder Talismans, and heavenly lightning will roll. That will be much more ferocious than the Doom Shroom!"
This thing was more useful than the Doom Shrooms.
Unless they were in an enclosed environment like the Starry Sky Passageway, powerful beings could evade the Doom Shrooms in an instant. With the instantaneous explosive speed of a Dao Integration Stage being, they could evade the center of the explosion in an instant. Coupled with the protection of a dao tool, they might not be killed even if four or five hundred Doom Shrooms smashed down at the same time.
On the other hand, the Five Thunder Talismans were different.
According to the results of his previous experiments, the Five Thunder Talismans seemed to have an automatic targeting function. The first thunderbolt struck Zhong Wanshan with unerring accuracy, while the second and third landed on Hong Shanze and the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun.
As for the fourth and fifth … they were simply random strikes.
After all, he couldn't possibly hit Jiang He, could he?
Of course, the most important thing was that he could hold his head and crouch to be immune to the damage from the Five Thunder Talismans.
"What a shame that the Five Thunder Talismans are different from the Doom Shrooms, and their effects shouldn't stack. Otherwise, I could make several hundred of them and throw them out at once, blowing up the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect into smithereens!"
Jiang He felt as if his vision and mind had been broadened.
Before he planted and strengthened the Thunder Talismans, it could only unleash a full-fledged Yuan Spirit attack. Then, were there stronger Thunder Talismans?
For example, the kind that could directly blow up Convergence-tier, Sufferance-tier, or even Mahayana-tier cultivators …
"There would definitely be such talismans, but even if there were, they would be extremely rare. Perhaps I could capture that talisman master from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who is adept at Thunder Talismans … or I could just create another talisman technique."
Having just planted the spirit stones, mystic treasures, medicinal pellets, and talismans, it would be at least two hours before he could harvest them. Hence, Jiang He left his farm in a flash.
After all, his main purpose in coming overseas was to capture Feral Kings, and he had yet to catch a single one until now.
And yet, just as he left his farm, Jiang He sensed the 'message' from the jade charm.
He whipped it out, and it flashed a few times before a message surged into Jiang He's mind.
"Bad news, Jiang He."
"You've killed Zhong Wanshan, Hong Shanze, the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun, and the others. The two major immortal sects are furious, and their Sufferance-tier elites are on the move to kill you. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has sent out the Thousand Sword Daoist, a sixth-retribution elite."
"The Penglai Sect has sent out the Hermit of Forgotten Love, the previous chieftain of the Penglai Sect. He is very powerful and is now a seventh-retribution elite."
"I'll think of a way to learn about the cultivation, mystic treasures, and techniques of the Thousand Sword Daoist and the Hermit of Forgotten Love. I'll contact you later, Brother Jiang He."
Jiang He was surprised.
The jade charm actually had a message function?
"Interesting. It's almost as good as a phone's function, but what is the principle behind it?"
Nonetheless, Jiang He soon left that thought at the back of his mind, and his gaze turned somber.
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist?
The Hermit of Forgotten Love?
A sixth-retribution or seventh-retribution elite?
"Aren't the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect a little too ruthless? They really don't play by the rules … I've just killed your Convergence-novice and Middle-stage, so you should send your Convergence-advanced or full-fledged Convergence-advanced to hunt me down, and I'll continue killing them, reaping the spoils and becoming stronger.
After that, they would send out Sufferance-tier elites. They would start with the average Sufferance-tier elites, and when Jiang He killed them, they would send out stronger Sufferance-tier elites, while he kept reaping the spoils and becoming stronger. One day, when he finally mastered his technique, he would go up against the two major immortal sects alone and overwhelm them with peerless combat ability. That was the correct plot of the main character.
Who would unleash their ultimate move right from the start?
How am I supposed to retaliate if they're sending out sixth-retribution and seventh-retribution elites?
"Hold on …"
"What is the tier of sixth-retribution and seventh-retribution?"
Jiang He only remembered then …
He did not seem to know much about Sufferance-tier. Were Sufferance-tier tiers divided into one, two, three, and so on?
"That's so detailed … but how?"
"Could it be that the first retribution is heavenly retribution, and then the second retribution when my cultivation reaches a certain level would be the third, fourth, and so on up to the ninth retribution?"
At that thought, Jiang He's expression turned very ugly.
Damn it!
I was thinking about saving Farm Points so that I could cultivate the fifth or sixth fold of the Three Thousand Calamities after reaching full-fledged Yuan Spirit, instantly reaching full-fledged Convergence-tier, and then Sufferance-tier …
After that, I would be full-fledged Sufferance-tier.
But if it was divided according to the first retribution, second retribution, and third retribution, did that not mean that he would have to endure nine retributions in a row?
Gasp!
Jiang He could not help inhaling sharply!
The thought of having to endure nine retributions in a row left his scalp numb, and he might have to endure it from morning to night …
"I might have to endure it all night if it takes longer. I wonder if I could have supper during my retribution … what if I get hungry?"
