After seeing off the exceedingly excited Jin Sidao and the sighing Taixu Sect elites, Jiang He returned to his farm and resumed his overnight farming plan!
"Spirit stones, paper talismans …"
"There are only four paper talismans and I could easily plant them, but I would have to plant these spirit stones for at least two days without sleep or rest!"
"And in two days …"
Jiang He glanced at the growing demi-immortal mystic treasure, the Clear Sky Mirror, and the pants that had grown half a set of combat armor, and nodded in satisfaction, smiling. "In two days, the Clear Sky Mirror would metamorphose into an immortal item. With this demi-immortal combat armor, I would have a better chance against the Green Hill Foxes."
Still, Jiang He frowned when he saw the weird tree formed from the three Dao Enlightenment Pellets.
That tree …
What was going on?
It had been growing for dozens of hours, but it was only a meter tall. He was still hoping to have a few Dao Enlightenment Pellets as snacks.
"A long growth cycle means it's worth a lot …"
"And this tree is worth more than the Clear Sky Mirror?"
Jiang He complained, but stopped thinking about it and began to dig holes to plant spirit stones … of course, Dumbo would not let Jiang He do a manual job like digging holes.
It stood up on its hind legs, and an earthy yellow glow appeared on its paws. It quickly created a large number of small pits and said with a charming smile, "Master, please rest. I'll help you with this kind of rough work."
Jiang He took out a chair and sat down beside the tree formed from the three Dao Enlightenment Pellets, before taking out the grill, barbecue sauce, charcoal, and various Feral meats.
"It's been a while since I had a grill."
"Since I have the time, I should grill some supper … hold on!"
Jiang He, who was fiddling with the meat suddenly did a double take and exclaimed in surprise, "Did I forget something?"
Feral meat?
Ferals?
Damn it!
Where were the two daemons the Foxes of Mount Changbai gifted him?
Those two little female foxes were very cute … he had been too preoccupied with discussing the Green Hill Foxes with Jin Sidao and the others, and left in a hurry that he forgot about them.
"Hmmm …"
"It would be inappropriate to borrow them from the Foxes of Mount Changbai after they sealed their mountain. Why don't I go to the Green Hill Foxes in two days and borrow them?"
As for whether the Green Hill Foxes would be willing?
There was no need to think about that.
It was not up to them.
It was not up to them.
After leaving Jiang He's house, Jin Sidao did not return directly to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and instead entered the Thunder Talisman Daoist's mystic ship.
The second floor of the ship was the Thunder Talisman Daoist's workshop.
He was crafting the Nine Retribution Talisman at the moment, and promptly arrived in a flash when he sensed Jin Sidao's presence. Bowing, he asked, "Grand-master, why have you come?"
In terms, Sidao was the Thunder Daoist's grand-master.
Moreover, Jin Sidao was.
He had never met the Thunder Talisman Daoist. It was said that he was struck to death by the Thunder Tribulation a few years before he joined the sect.
"I know from from from, Jiang. and, Jiang, Sidao.
In a good mood, Jin Sidao asked about the Thunder Talisman Daoist's progress in crafting talismans, instructing him, "You must do your best in crafting talismans for Jiang He. By the way, crafting talismans and arrays would cost spirit stones. Do you have enough?"
The Thunder Talisman Daoist said, "It's barely enough. Now that the world's spiritual energy is gradually recovering, the energy absorbed from the world is enough to set up a formation."
"How can this be?"
Jin Sidao said solemnly, "You can't make even the slightest mistake in crafting the Nine Retribution Talisman, or the power of the thunderbolts of retribution would blow you up into nothingness if anything goes wrong. I'll give you three thousand mediocre-grade spirit stones and three hundred superior-grade spirit stones for now, and I'll send more if it's not enough."
The Thunder Talisman Daoist was stunned.
Being a high-ranking official of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he had a general idea of how many spirit stones the sect had stored. After extorting Jiang He … and paying Jiang He quite a lot, they probably couldn't even gather 2,000 mediocre-grade spirit stones now, so where would they get 3,000?
"Martial Granduncle, you … went to rob houses?"
The thought crossed the Thunder Talisman Daoist's mind.
Jin Sidao could not help laughing. "Earning spirit stones is as simple as eating and drinking to me. Why would I need to rob? After all, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the wealthiest sect in the world of cultivators aside from Jiang He. Three thousand spirit stones is not even worth mentioning. "
He handed the three thousand mediocre-grade spirit stones and three hundred superior-grade spirit stones to the Thunder Talisman Daoist, and left in a hurry after instructing him to craft talismans well and listen to Jiang He.
He still had to return the spirit stones he borrowed …
It was only after Jin Sidao left that the Thunder Talisman Daoist came to his senses and muttered to himself, "The wealthiest sect in the world of cultivators?"
"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is famous for being poor? How did we suddenly become the wealthiest sect in the world of cultivators? Could it be that you've been traumatized recently and have become possessed? "
Whatever.
The Thunder Talisman Daoist was energized right then. With the abundant spirit stones to set up arrays and replenish his mystic energy, his crafting speed of Nine Retribution Talismans would double. It would not be an issue for him to craft over a dozen talismans in two days, and he could even craft stronger ones with common sense.
Meanwhile.
The Green Hill Foxes.
In a Secret Realm that was as beautiful as a fairyland …
Unlike the lifeless realms of other immortal sects, the Green Hill Foxes' Secret Realm was brimming with vigor!
The disciples of other immortal sects and demonic sects were all cut off, but little foxes were playing everywhere in the Green Hill Foxes' Secret Realm.
There was no helping it …
It was extremely difficult for powerful cultivators to procreate, just like how the deceased Zhong Wanshan and his wife only had Zhong Yue after three hundred years of marriage. Moreover, Daemon Foxes were more than ten times more fertile than cultivators.
Most importantly …
They had a lot of children!
It was normal to have three to five children at a time, and it was not rare to have seven or eight.
In the skies above the Green Hill Foxes' Secret Realm, there was a massive white cloud that hovered in the air all year round, and upon it stood nine floating palaces.
Right now, a dozen retribution, eight retribution, and nine retribution Daemon Foxes were gathered in one of the palaces, with seven other Mahayana Daemon Foxes sitting in a corner.
The youthful Daemon Fox who had exchanged two blows with Jiang He was among them.
His aura appeared a little withered, having taken a few blows from Jiang He. Even as he refined the Sword Will in his body, he growled, "Everyone … that human, Jiang He … must die!"
"We Green Hill Foxes have existed for endless years. When have we ever been humiliated like this?"
One of the Daemon Foxes spoke hesitantly. "But … Jiang He is not easy to kill. If we fail to kill him, he would be able to stand against us in less than a hundred years given his ability."
"That's right."
Another Daemon Fox added. "I had been there to watch when Jiang He massacred the Penglai Sect. He wielded an immortal item and was extremely powerful in combat, killing the White Brows Daoist in a direct confrontation, and he even had a godly technique that could cause a massive explosion …"
"To ensure that we Green Hill Foxes would kill him without suffering any casualties, we would have to mobilize at least three Mahayana and nine Sufferance cultivators to set up a grand array and invoke our immortal item … and our clan's immortal item is fused with our Holy Grounds, which means that it takes a shocking amount of energy to use each time."
"Unless Jiang He comes to us Green Hill Foxes. When the time comes, we could eliminate him with the least cost and the greatest certainty."
Inside the palace.
There was a moment of silence.
One of the Daemon Foxes flashed a pained smile. "Jiang He is no fool. He is on good terms with the Taixu Sect and would naturally know about the depth of our Green Hill Foxes. Why would he risk himself to come to our Holy Grounds?"
The gaze of the youthful Daemon Fox who had fought Jiang He twitched then and he said, "Perhaps we could treat him with courtesy and invite him to Green Hill as a guest."
"Jiang He has achieved so much at such a young age. He must be arrogant and conceited, which is obvious from how he dealt with the Penglai Sect and the Foxes of Mount Changbai."
"He and I have enmity, and he once said in public that he would come to the Green Hill Fox Clan to demand an explanation … Now, we'll openly invite him here, and if he comes, we'll activate our Celestial Artifact and kill him. If he doesn't come, then I'll spread the news that he's afraid of the Green Hill Fox Clan and humiliate him!"
"But …"
One of the Daemon Foxes asked, "I wonder what godly technique he used to blow up Penglai Island. Would the Holy Grounds be in danger if we invite him to our Holy Grounds?"
"Heh!"
One of the daemons laughed softly and said disdainfully, "When the time comes, we could ask our ancestors to fully unleash the might of our immortal item. He would not have the ability to use that technique at all."
"Alright!"
"I shall pay a visit to the human realm tomorrow and invite Jiang He to our Holy Grounds!"
The youthful Daemon Fox sneered, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.
…
Meanwhile.
Jiang He had already harvested the first batch of spirit stones …
There was no helping it.
There were too many spirit stones and he could not plant them all in one go. As such, he had to cut down the trees after harvesting the first batch and continue planting them.
The four Nine Retribution Talismans were ripe as well.
Jiang He plucked the talisman he planted from the Nine Retribution Talisman, which contained the power of seven retribution heavenly thunderbolts, and found the words' Violet Sky Thunder Talisman 'written on it.
