Jiang He stopped teasing Cheng Dongfeng when he saw the resentment in his eyes.
Taking out a thousand inferior-grade spirit stones and dozens of initiation pellets, Jiang He said, "Take these pellets and spirit stones and share them with Chief Duan and Commander Chen Jingzhou. It won't do if you're too weak when you guard Lingzhou City."
Cheng Dongfeng was left dumbstruck.
A full thousand low-grade spirit stones filled the tea table in his room. As for the dozens of Opening Point Elixirs, he didn't care much about them. After all, not many people knew about them.
"Jiang He … no, Grand-master!"
Cheng Dongfeng's eyes went red as he stared at the pile of spirit stones. Even so, he restrained himself despite having always loved money more than his life, clenching his teeth and refusing, "Grand-master, I don't accept undeserved rewards. The spirit stones are too precious and I wouldn't dare to accept them."
"Why wouldn't you?"
Jiang He could not help laughing. "That's not like you, Old Cheng."
Cheng Dongfeng's face turned red. It was unclear whether it was because of embarrassment or because he had made the difficult decision to not accept the spirit stone. He caressed the spirit stone, feeling the sensation in his palm. Suddenly, he turned his head away and closed his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he said, "If I don't accept it, I won't accept it. There's no 'why'."
"I have a lot of inferior-grade spirit stones."
Jiang He said. "Even superior-grade spirit stones are not that useful to me now that I'm cultivating. These things are no different from stones to me."
Cheng Dongfeng turned and quietly studied the pile of spirit stones, saying seriously, "Then I'll accept them on behalf of Chief Duan and Commander Chen … Grand-master Jiang He, what are these initiation pellets?"
"A spirit pellet developed by the Superpower Research Department according to an ancient recipe. Consumption would aid in unlocking a person's orifices, and I've eaten a dozen of them, but they were not very effective — not even one orifice was unlocked."
Cheng Dongfeng was half-convinced. Taking one of the pellets and popping it into his mouth, he chewed it carefully and was about to comment on the texture when his face dropped.
He could feel a special energy spreading within his body, and in the next instant …
Poof.
With a crisp sound, one of the orifices on Cheng Dongfeng's arm was unlocked.
He promptly sat down cross-legged and directed his energy, and another orifices was unlocked after three minutes.
After a long while, Cheng Dongfeng slowly opened his eyes and said in surprise, "This … this medicinal pill is called the Aperture Opening Pill? It really is a miraculous medicine … Just one pill has allowed me to open two more acupoints. In the future, the speed at which I absorb the world's origin energy and the power that I can unleash will be enhanced. "
Jiang He frowned and said, "Is that all?"
Cheng Dongfeng said, "Grand-master, don't underestimate these two acupoints. Many a little makes an ocean. Previously, I needed three months to cultivate to eighth-tier great perfection. Now, I can do it in two and a half months, saving half a month's time."
"Furthermore, opening one more acupoint means that one's zhenqi will recover faster in battle. If it's a life-and-death battle and the two of them are equally matched, the one who recovers zhenqi faster will definitely be the one who survives!"
Save half a month's time?
What's the use of this?
As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang He subconsciously compared it to himself, and could not help gaping and inhaling sharply. "Gasp … half a month is enough to do a lot of things!"
He …
It had only been half a month since he ascended from Yuan Spirit to full-fledged Mahayana.
Unable to help himself, Cheng Dongfeng ate another initiation pellet and opened another acupoint. "The medicinal pellet's effect has weakened a little," he said. "In the future, I'm afraid one or two or even five initiation pellets would only open one acupoint. Still, if I could open ten acupoints, my cultivation speed would greatly increase in the future."
Envy filled Jiang He's face as he exclaimed, "There are so many benefits to being weak. Eating two initiation pellets would open three acupoints, but I don't feel a thing even after eating a dozen."
Jiang He realized that he had misspoken when he saw the look on Cheng Dongfeng's face, and corrected himself, "Of course, it might have nothing to do with strength. Maybe I'm born with all acupoints open, which is why eating initiation pellets won't help."
Damn it!
Cheng Dongfeng scowled even harder.
Jiang He laughed out loud. "Remember to split the spirit stones and initiation pellets between Tianhe and Chen Jingzhou … by the way, here are three Spatial Rings. You two can use them."
Jiang He had a lot of those items, and it would be a waste to throw them away since he could not use them. Still, it was not a bad idea to give some to acquaintances.
After leaving Cheng Dongfeng's room, Jiang He had wanted to catch up with Three Blades Lin, but the latter was not around. It was said that he had gone into seclusion to ascend to divine-union, the third tier of divine-tier.
Whipping out his phone, Jiang He asked Wang Siyu out.
Wang Siyu's cultivation had improved rapidly recently. With the resources Jiang He had given her, both her martial cultivation and spirit improved tremendously, and she was now rank-eight advanced. Her spirit did not lose out to rank-nine who had grasped the Boundary of Wills.
Moreover, the improvement of her spirit strengthened her superpowers to a certain extent as well. If she wanted to, not even rank-seven grandmasters could hide their thoughts from her mind-reading ability.
Of course, the fastest improvement was her fire-type powers.
Her spirit was equivalent to a pinnacle rank-nine who had grasped the Boundary of Wills, and her superpowers naturally matched a pinnacle rank-nine as well.
The two of them ate and drank tea together before heading to the hotel to rest for a few hours. It was already night when they came out, and after strolling for a while, Jiang He took out an immortal art manual and said, "This is a fire-type cultivation manual. Since you are a superpower user, it would be suitable for you, so you could try cultivating it … by the way, I have another gift for you."
Jiang He grabbed Wang Siyu's hand, took out a Spatial Ring with a nicer design and helped her put it on.
Wang Siyu's face was filled with bliss as she exclaimed, "Thank you for this … Argh!"
She cried out in pain even before she finished. Jiang He had taken out the Mosquito Cutter out of nowhere, and stabbed her finger with it.
Wang Siyu was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Getting some blood!"
Jiang He took a drop of Wang Siyu's blood and dripped it on the ring, explaining, "This is a Spatial Ring and counts as a small mystic treasure. It needs to be refined with blood to be used."
Wang Siyu: "…"
She looked a little upset.
Blood refinement?
Why didn't you say so earlier? Couldn't I just poke it with a needle?
Getting a sword directly … it was too frightening.
Jiang He only returned home around eight in the evening.
By then, Dumbo and Trumbo had already brought the 1,000 initiation pellets the Superpower Research Department had refined.
Jiang He had harvested every spirit stone in his farm and planted the initiation pellets he had. After a rough calculation, he realized that it would take around three days to farm all the initiation pellets and spirit stones he had.
There was no rush for the mystic treasures and spirit pellets.
He could plant them after his farm leveled up, and he would gain some farm EXP.
"I can't be idle over the next three days. Incidentally, I could revamp the farm."
Jiang He had already decided on the plan to revamp the farm.
With the Chinese-style mansion at the corner of the farm as the center, he would make some fake mountains, manmade lakes, pavilions, and purple bamboo forests. He did not have to worry about fake mountains and pavilions since many parks in the country had them.
Calling Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers to him, Jiang He said, "All of you should head out tomorrow morning and look for something like an abandoned park to get some pavilions and fake mountains … if you can't find one that looks good, a unique rock would work too, and we'll plant it ourselves."
"The other thing is the bamboo forest. I've just searched online, and there are three purple bamboo forests in the country. One of them is at Mount Zhongnan, while the other is at Mount Putuo in the Jiangzhe province. Help me cut down a purple bamboo forest."
Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were delighted.
Being able to go out for a stroll was definitely a joyous occasion for them.
Soon, they were huddled together, whispering to each other and discussing. Jiang He could vaguely hear things like 'grill rack', 'condiments', 'don't eat spicy food', 'beer', and 'sorghum wine'.
The two eagles, on the other hand, were eavesdropping. After a while, they also fluttered their wings and came over. They said in a childish voice through telepathy, "Master, we want to play too … We also want to share Master's burden."
Jiang He could not help chuckling and said, "Alright, you guys go together."
He checked the time and found that it was almost dawn.
Considering that he did not fulfill his' early to bed, early to rise 'schedule yesterday, he went to bed early.
Once Jiang He left, Dumbo stood up on its hind legs and clapped its paws, exclaiming, "Everyone, come here … did you guys remember what I just said? It's not easy for us to go out, so we must go sightseeing … let's split up and go shopping … don't you have money? "
"Trash, I'm just asking you to buy some grill condiments. You don't even have that bit of money?"
Dumbo was extremely rich, and took out several tens of thousands in cash to split with everyone …
"Fifty for you, fifty for him … the remaining fifty is mine."
"…"
… …
Jiang He slept all the way until noon the next day before waking up.
He could not help feeling emotional …
It was so hard to sleep early and wake up early!
He went downstairs.
He washed up.
When he reached the dining table, Sora walked up to him and said sweetly, "Master, Trumbo has a letter for you."
"What the heck?"
Jiang He was surprised.
Trumbo is writing me a letter?
It was more like a piece of paper than a letter.
Jiang He accepted the paper that was folded into a small airplane, and found that the word 'Master' was written on the right wing, while the word 'To you' was written on the left wing.
To you, Master?
"Is Trumbo sick in the head? Why not say it face to face? Why be so secretive? "
Jiang He cursed as he unfolded the paper airplane, only to find that it was written in square block letters: "We are so excited to be able to solve your problem, Master, that we couldn't sleep at all. That is why we have left without saying goodbye. Please forgive us, Master."
Jiang He: "…"
What the hell was written here???
It was neither ancient nor plain, and it was incredibly awkward. Most importantly, they left without saying goodbye?
How much did they want to go out for a stroll … could they not even wait for me to wake up?
