Planting heavenly thunderbolts was a technical task.
Though Jiang He had never planted such a thing before, he was an old farmer through and through, and had abundant … no, sea of experience in planting.
"The heavenly thunderbolts are just a cluster of thunderbolts. Scientifically speaking, it's actually because the negative charge in the clouds would react to the ground, creating an electric field. When the field reaches a certain level, it would form a dissociative discharge."
"If this thing is directly planted in the ground, it will definitely dissipate."
"So …"
After some thought, Jiang He planted all the bottles and jars.
With that, he did not have to worry about the heavenly thunderbolts dispersing.
Yawning, Jiang He was ready to go home and sleep. He would harvest the heavenly thunderbolts when he harvested his farm's wheat tomorrow, though he was filled with longing.
Planting heavenly thunderbolts …
In this world, from ancient times until now, he was probably the first one, right?
What could this thing grow out of it?
"Planting thunderbolts and getting thunderbolts?"
"Moreover, I've added Mysterious Soil. Wouldn't I plant stronger heavenly thunderbolts?"
"Hmmm …"
"That's unlikely. According to the System's nature, it might plant something like a heavenly thunderbolt pellet that would temper my body with heavenly thunderbolts, turning my physique into something like a Thunder Dao Form."
Arriving at the bathing pool on the third floor.
Jiang He only remembered then when he was bathing …
He had forgotten to plant the Fairy Talisman.
After all, Boa Hancock and Sora were more than enough to do the cooking, cleaning, and warming of the bed, but there was a lack of entertainment. Jiang He did have Sora perform, but the problem was that she only knew how to strip dance. What kind of entertainment was that?
"After I grow seven beautiful and alluring girls, I can let them dance, sing, play and sing in the future …"
Jiang He's imagination ran wild, and he only fell asleep around three in the morning.
Unbeknownst to him, his retribution had left all of the Hua Nation in shock.
Thunderclouds had rolled over five hundred kilometers at the time, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within. The citizens of Lingzhou City were so close that they could clearly feel the mysterious might emanating from the thunderclouds.
Someone had recorded the scene and uploaded it online.
Some martial artists recorded the video and uploaded it to the Warrior Home forum. Even though it was late at night, it still caused a huge commotion.
It was fortunate that the Martial Arts Department (MAD) reacted quickly. Wang Hou provided an explanation at once, claiming that the thunderclouds were Jiang He's heavenly retribution, and people began to spread the word online that martial artists would invoke heavenly retribution once they ascended up to divine-tier.
Meanwhile, outside Jiang He's house, the Thunder Talisman Daoist had taken out his communications jade charm in the pavilion of the mystic ship and contacted Jin Sidao, telling him about Jiang He's physical Retribution, including how he sat cross-legged and ascended from True Child to full-fledged Sufferance in the time it takes to brew a pot of tea. He also described in detail how Jiang He easily caught the heavenly thunderbolts.
On the other end of the communications jade charm, Jin Sidao was petrified and silent for a long time.
After more than a minute, he finally came back to his senses, and a wisp of rejoicing surged onto his face.
Fortunately …
He had chosen to offer a humble apology and make amends to resolve his grudge with Jiang He, instead of listening to some Supreme Venerable Elder in his sect and guarding the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's defensive array to fight Jiang He to the death!
If that were the case, the net would not be broken, but the fish would definitely die.
To tell the truth, everything that Jiang He had done had surpassed Jin Sidao's understanding. Even a Mahayana elite who had lived over two thousand years and witnessed the immortals traversing the stars, the change of dynasties and the flow of history had never heard of anyone being this demonic. What sect prodigies or ancient prodigies? Compared to Jiang He, who ascended in cultivation as easily as eating and drinking, what were they?
After chatting a little more with the Thunder Talisman Daoist, he learned that Jiang He had ascended on the spot, weathered his retribution, and caught the heavenly thunderbolts because he wanted his help to craft the Nine Retribution Talisman.
"How … willful!"
Jin Sidao exclaimed in awe.
Since the thunderbolts of retribution were needed to craft the Nine Retribution Talisman, Jiang He was probably the only one who could ascend, weather the thunderbolts of retribution, and capture a few bolts of retribution along the way.
Hence, he instructed, "Just focus on crafting the Nine Retribution Talisman since Jiang He asked you to. Contact me immediately if you need anything."
"Jiang He gave me forty heavenly thunderbolts and told me to refine them all into Nine Retribution Talismans. Each thunderbolt could be used to craft three Nine Retribution Talismans, which means I could craft a hundred and twenty Nine Retribution Talismans. I still lack a lot of materials."
The Thunder Talisman Daoist answered truthfully, while Jin Sidao said, "It's fine. Give me a list of materials, and I'll send someone to deliver the cultivation manuals to you in the next two to three days. I'll help you deliver the materials then."
Before hanging up, Jin Sidao thought about it and added, "Remember, don't anger Jiang He. Treat him like your own father."
The Thunder Talisman Daoist was dumbstruck.
He opened his mouth, unsure what to say just then.
My own father …
He died of anger all those years ago. Are you sure you want me to treat Jiang He as my own father?
Meanwhile, after hanging up, Jin Sidao promptly sought out the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain and asked, "Have you prepared the cultivation manuals Jiang He requested?"
Embarrassed, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain flashed a pained smile. "Jiang He's request is too high. Cultivation manuals that could cultivate from Qi Refinist up to Mahayana are not common goods, and we have only collected two cultivation manuals that fit his requirements. I'm contacting the other sects to see if they have collected any cultivation manuals."
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's legacy cultivation manuals were not to be spread to outsiders as per their previous decision.
However, there were too many fragments of the cultivation manuals they had 'collected', and it was not easy to collect several complete ones.
Jin Sidao thought about it and said, "You've collected two cultivation manuals? Then I'll take three more sword cultivator manuals for Jiang He. "
"What?!"
Stunned, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain promptly dropped to his knees and wailed, "You mustn't, Ancestral Master … only disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could cultivate our sect's legacy manuals. Back when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was at its peak, the average disciple did not even have the right to cultivate the complete legacy manuals."
"Our sect's legacy manuals are the foundation of our sect. If we give them to Jiang He and they spread it without restraint, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would become a joke in the world of cultivators."
Nonetheless, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain gritted his teeth at Jin Sidao's insistence and dragged out the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's immortal, somberly saying, "Ancestral Master, I'm worried that the immortal patriarchs would be displeased if we spread our sect's legacy manuals among the commoners. Please reconsider, Ancestral Master."
"B * stard!"
Jin Sidao flicked his finger, sending the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain flying over a dozen meters away with a streak of Sword Qi, coldly saying, "Are you threatening me with the immortal patriarchs?"
Rising to his feet, he seethed angrily and indignantly, "Where were the immortal patriarchs when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect faced extinction? Could you summon them back if disaster really did befall us? "
"Moreover, so what if the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's legacy manuals were spread among the commoners?"
"The other immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemon cultivators have yet to show themselves and accept disciples. By the time they do, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect might have disciples all over the world!"
"Eh?"
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect chieftain did a double take.
Soon, he understood what Jin Sidao meant and came to a realization, exclaiming in delight, "I get it now, Ancestral Master. If the commoners really want to spread our sect's legacy manuals … all cultivators would become disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
"Since they cultivated our cultivation manuals, they would form a karmic bond with us … I even think that we could join forces with other commoner factions and establish some footholds and branches of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, sending out elders and Supreme Venerable Elders to clear up the doubts of those who cultivate our sect's legacy and instruct them in their cultivation. We could even provide resources that would aid their cultivation, and that would count as a master-disciple relationship …"
"Even if those people did not join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, they are in fact disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
The chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect became excited then.
Jin Sidao then said, "This matter needs to be discussed at length and requires Jiang He's approval as well as the commoner factions' agreement. Remember, don't play petty tricks and ruin the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. “
The Taixu Sect chieftain nodded in acknowledgment.
Jin Sidao waved him off and said, "Go pick your cultivation manuals and deliver them to Jiang He as soon as possible. Also, prepare a portion of resources for the commoner faction leaders. Remember, times have changed, and don't assume that we're all high and mighty. With the advent of chaos, there would definitely be many prodigies among the commoners, and if the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is fortunate enough to recruit a few of them, would we have to worry about not regaining our former glory?"
With that, the Taixu Sect chieftain excused himself respectfully.
Meanwhile, Jin Sidao was sitting cross-legged alone in the great temple, all sorts of calculations flashing through his mind. In the end, he could not help smiling bitterly. "That is why the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wants to expand and reclaim its glory … the key still lies with Jiang He. I heard from Thunder Talisman that Jiang He seems to be interested in his Fairy Talisman, and we also have a few young immortals who are around seven to eight hundred years old. Should we give them to Jiang He as well?"
…
Meanwhile, Jiang He.
He woke up naturally, and it was already noon the next day when he woke up.
He checked the time on his phone to find that it was almost one o 'clock. Then, he looked at the date …
It was already the twenty-fourth of November.
"Has it been three months since I transmigrated?"
Jiang He was a little emotional.
It had been three months …
He was no longer the martial arts newbie and immortal arts novice he was back then … and had become invincible if he was not careful.
"Ahem."
"I can't get cocky, I can't get cocky. I'm at most a full-fledged Sufferance in both Qi and Physique Refinement, and I could cut down Mahayana-tier elites with my immortal item. I'm not even immortal, so I'm not invincible."
He washed up, went downstairs, and had lunch. When he arrived at his farm, he found that the wheat was already golden. It was as tall as an adult, with thick ears dangling from it, and one could tell at a glance that it was a bountiful harvest.
The heavenly thunderbolts he planted yesterday were all sprouting and growing into small trees. Still, judging from the speed at which they were growing, Jiang He guessed that …
They would only ripen tomorrow or the day after.
"Is the growth cycle that slow?"
Jiang He complained, and then glanced at the Clear Sky Mirror, Dao Enlightenment Pellets, and the premium-grade combat suit he had planted … they were growing well, but it would take two days for them to ripen.
"Eh?"
Jiang He's eyes narrowed as he looked towards the direction where he had planted the Dao Enlightenment Pellets.
Since planting spirit stones had taken up most of his farm, Jiang He had planted the three Dao Enlightenment Pellets at the center of his mansion's yard. And now, the three small saplings that grew out of the Dao Enlightenment Pellets were intertwining and fusing into one, becoming a single tree.
"What the heck?"
"And here I was hoping to plant two more Dao Enlightenment Pellets and pop them for potion enlightenment. How did it turn into one tree?"
Jiang He was a little speechless.
Still, there was no helping it. He could only wait for the Dao Enlightenment Pellet Tree to bloom and bear fruit.
Calling out to Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, he had them harvest the wheat while he left his yard, taking a stroll inside the Thunder Talisman Daoist's mystic ship before taking to the skies and disappearing over the horizon.
He would pay a visit to the Taixu Sect at Mount Kunlun to trade for the moon, as well as ask about the territories of the Holy Grounds of daemonic cultivators. He would borrow two daemonic pellet cultivators for the Superpower Research Department's research, as well as a plant cultivation manual.
"Sigh …"
"I wonder if those ancient daemonic cultivators are easy to talk to, or if they would lend it to me …"
