"Improve physique?"
"Grasp Thunder Dao?"
Right now, Jiang He's physique was equal to full-fledged Mahayana and his qi was immeasurably powerful. Moreover, the Dragontooth Rice he ate every day cleansed his body of impurities, which was why he believed that his physique did not need to be improved.
As for grasping Thunder Dao?
That was not too bad.
He had cultivated the Ninefold Thunderblade and grasped the Will of Thunder, which meant that he had dabbled a little in Thunder Dao.
Still, it did not seem to improve his combat ability.
Hence, Jiang He took a bite of the Thunder Dao Fruit.
He had plenty of it anyway, so he could have a taste first.
Crack!
It was as if a thunderbolt had erupted in his mouth with that one bite. That energy entered his abdomen through his mouth and instantly turned into pure thunder energy that surged throughout his body, eventually seeping into his limbs and bones. Even his bones, skin, muscles, and cells were all improved by that thunderbolt energy.
The fruit was actually not solid, but a condensation of thunderbolt energy.
Oom!
Jiang He's figure shuddered, and a Dao Law condensed from thunderbolts flashed over his head. Then, with a flick of his finger, thunderbolts surged in the air again.
Stepping out of his farm, he punched out at the horizon from the distance. With a rumble, the clouds up in the skies were torn apart and the air rumbled endlessly. There was a faint flash of thunderbolts within his fist.
Jiang He was at first taken aback, but soon became delighted and laughed out loud. "I see! The Thunder Dao Fruit imbues my physique with the might of thunder, strengthening my combat ability … Most importantly, my understanding of Thunder Dao has deepened after eating one Thunder Dao Fruit, and if I keep eating it …"
"I could probably use this to condense my Heavenly Immortal Dao and ascend to Heavenly Immortal!"
Jiang He's eyes sparkled after realizing that, and he could not help turning towards the many Thunder Fruit Trees.
There were forty-five of them, and each bore ten Thunder Dao Fruits.
"Four hundred and fifty Thunder Dao Fruits are enough for me to condense my Heavenly Immortal Dao … with the Revival of Spirit Qi on Earth and the density of Spirit Qi in the world, ascension would not affect it much."
Jiang He reached out and plucked the Thunder Dao Fruits.
[Ding!]
[+ 500,000 Farm Points.]
[Ding!]
[+ 500,000 Farm Points.]
After plucking the Thunder Fruit of the Way, he went to the Tree of Enlightenment and sat down cross-legged to consume the Thunder Fruit of the Way.
One must say that the Elder Tea Tree of Enlightenment was truly awesome. Jiang He's understanding of Thunder Dao deepened after consuming the Thunder Dao Fruit beneath the Elder Tea Tree, allowing him to grasp Thunder Dao to a deeper level.
It would take about an hour for him to completely refine a Thunder Dao Fruit.
After fully refining and absorbing the energy from the first Thunder Dao Fruit, Jiang He promptly ate the second. Soon, it was night, and the sun and moon alternated in the farm. A bright moon slowly rose, but Jiang He did not seem to notice it. He did not even eat dinner and continued eating the Thunder Dao Fruit.
The lightning power around him crackled and flickered, and the Great Dao of Lightning above his head gradually solidified.
Cultivation knows no time.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day, and it was already the end of December. The weather in the northwest became cold, and the wind outside was biting cold. A sudden heavy snowfall soon dyed the entire northwest in a layer of white snow.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Jiang He's body shuddered. Around him, thunderbolts were bursting, and even his skin and bones were flickering with specks of lightning.
Soon, the thunderbolts faded, and Jiang He slowly opened his eyes.
He rose to his feet and felt out his body, and exclaimed in surprise, "My flesh and blood … why … why are there signs of thunderbolts energizing?"
A term appeared in Jiang He's mind then: Thunder Dao Form.
Legend had it that some people were born with Thunder Dao Form, and their physique would turn into thunderbolts upon mastery … Jiang He had eaten less than thirty Thunder Dao Fruits, so why was his physique showing signs of evolving into Thunder Dao Form?
Jiang He could not help becoming worried.
"I'm not married and have no children … I wonder if it would affect my fertility if my physique is energized …"
At that thought …
He did not even bother to check the effects of cultivating the Thunder Dao Fruit on his ability, and panicked as he left the farm, dragging Hu Mei and Boa into his bedroom.
Over two hours later …
"Phew!"
Jiang He breathed a long sigh, the worry on his face fading a little as he smiled. "Luckily, it's still normal for now. That way, I could continue cultivating the Thunder Dao Fruit."
"At this rate, I'll be able to cultivate the Thunder Body of Dao after I refine another twenty Thunder Fruits of Dao. By then, my physical combat strength should double. I can kill most perfected Mahayana cultivators with a single punch without using any Dharma treasures or powers!"
"Moreover, my understanding of Thunder Dao is deepening, and I could reach Heavenly Immortal in Thunder Dao after around a hundred Thunder Dao Fruits and condense Heavenly Immortal Dao."
Jiang He went downstairs.
Sora had already prepared lunch.
After having lunch, Jiang He returned to his farm to cultivate.
For three days in a row, Wang Hou came to visit on New Year's Day.
Jiang He went out to receive him, and Wang Hou's gaze twitched when he saw him. "You've ascended again, Jiang He?"
"Just a little."
Jiang He did not hold back, and Wang Hou exclaimed in surprise, "You were full-fledged Mahayana in the first place … and ascended to Heavenly Immortal?"
Jiang He shook his head and said, "Not yet. I could only ascend to Heavenly Immortal tonight … Sigh!"
He breathed a long sigh and lamented, "It's already 2021. I've been cultivating for over four months since I started cultivating in martial arts, and now that I'm within sight of becoming immortal, why don't I feel any joy from ascending?"
Wang Hou was dumbstruck.
He took a long look at Jiang He, and eventually could not help cursing him in his hometown dialect. Jiang He could not hear it clearly, but he was not bothered either, and asked with a smile, "Minister Wang, let's talk inside."
Inside the mansion.
Hu Mei was about to brew tea when Jiang He's eyes twitched and he said, "Hu Mei, head to the yard and pluck a tea leaf."
Hu Mei entered the farm and plucked a tea leaf from the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment. Jiang He then personally brewed tea for Wang Hou, who scowled and was at a loss for words. "Jiang He, I heard that your house has authentic Big Red Robe … aren't you being too stingy? It's not easy for me to come here, and you're only making me a tea leaf you planted?"
Jiang He pushed the teacup in front of Wang Hou and said, "Minister Wang, I'm gifting you with providence today."
Wang Hou's expression changed slightly.
In the teacup, a piece of tea leaf floated above the boiling water. The lines on the tea leaf could be seen clearly. As he looked at the lines on the tea leaf, his body suddenly trembled. A Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body and he immediately closed his eyes.
Jiang He: "…"
？？？
Epiphany, just like that???
There was a look of envy in his eyes then.
"I really envy Minister Wang. He can comprehend and cultivate, but I … can't do that. Even if I refine the Thunder Dao Fruit and cultivate the Thunder Dao Body, it can't be considered self-cultivation. At most, it can be considered as taking pills!"
