Jiang He did not know what a normal ginseng seed looked like, but the ginseng seed in his palm was the size of a soybean and glistening like a golden pea.
In fact, Jiang He could clearly feel the profound lifeforce and vigor growing within the golden pea.
"It is indeed a mutated seed."
Putting the 'pea' back where it was, Jiang He smiled. "Where did you get this pea, old man?"
"In my yard."
The old man took out a pack of Hudmen from his pocket and lit one, grinning widely. "Didn't the government say that all Feral threats within a three-hundred-kilometer radius of Lingzhou City have been resolved a few days ago?"
"I was wondering if the Ferals had ravaged my old mansion, so I went back for a bit, only to find that the ginseng I planted in my yard had blossomed and borne fruit."
At that, the old man could not believe it himself. "So, I dug up all the ginseng and brought it back. They said that it was a mutated plant and could be the floral spirit of legends."
"Oh?"
"You know about floral spirits, old man?"
Jiang He was taken aback, while the old man appeared smug. "I can read and surf the internet, so I've read about it."
"What about the ginseng?"
Jiang He pressed.
Normal plants would mutate with unimaginable effects, and the ginseng would be even more impressive after it mutated.
"I sold it."
The old man said. "There were five ginseng in total, three to the Superpower Research Department and two to the Martial Arts Department (MAD)."
"They didn't want the ginseng seeds."
"They said that since it had mutated and could not be grown with conventional cultivation methods, buying it would be useless."
"Since Old Master knows about the Essence of Vegetation, then you should know that after consuming the Essence of Vegetation, it is possible for people to awaken extraordinary abilities. Even if it can't awaken extraordinary abilities, it can also establish the foundation of martial arts. At the very least, it can strengthen the body and prolong life. Didn't you keep a ginseng for yourself?"
Jiang He asked casually, but the old man shook his head with a pained smile. "I did. I actually dug up ten ginseng and ate five of them as carrots, but there was no effect."
"Look at my eldest grandson. He ate two ginseng alone, but there was no improvement."
Jiang He: "…"
What the hell.
Stewed carrots with ginseng?
This old man was really ruthless.
But since it was a mutated ginseng, how could it have no effect?
Jiang He studied the child closely and found that his talent was average, and there was certainly nothing special about him.
Could it be that this ginseng was fake?
Not a mutated ginseng?
Even as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang He said, "I want every ginseng seed you have here."
Be it real or fake, each seed was only ten thousand bucks and there was no loss in buying it. In fact, he would at least gain a wave of Farm Points after planting it.
After all …
Money was no different from fleeting clouds to Jiang He now.
"Really?"
The old man was overjoyed and said, "I have a total of 1180 seeds here. Each seed costs 10000, which is 11.8 million. Since you want all of them, I'll give you a discount and charge you 10 million."
"Card number."
Jiang He asked for his bank account number and transferred ten million over. Then, he put away the ginseng seeds and took a stroll around Lingzhou City with his cat, dog, and two maids, and only returned home around five in the afternoon.
Soon after he reached home, he saw a sword light streaking through the skies and landing right in front of his house.
It was the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Golden Immortal, who had arrived with Jin Sidao.
"Brother Jiang He!"
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Golden Immortal was all smiles and very courteous toward Jiang He.
Incidentally, Jiang He had something to ask the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Golden Immortal and Jin Sidao, and promptly invited them inside, saying, "Please have a seat, Brother."
He and the Golden Immortal sat down, while Jin Sidao walked up and took out a Spatial Ring, saying, "Mister Jiang, there are five hundred thousand immortal crystals here. I bought them from the immortals of several major factions, and I owe the Scale Dragons and the Jiuhua Sect a total of two hundred and fifty thousand immortal crystals."
Jiang He was delighted at once!
He had planted immortal crystals before.
One immortal crystal would eventually yield a hundred immortal crystals and a million Farm Points. As for Farm EXP, it was negligible since Jiang He's Farm EXP was already maxed out, and he was wasting innumerable EXP every day.
Five hundred thousand immortal crystals meant a total of five hundred billion Farm Points, and his mastery of the Scripture of Chaos Thundersword and the Secret Art of Chaos Thundersword would improve by leaps and bounds, allowing him to reach full-fledged Golden Immortal at once!
Putting away the five hundred thousand immortal crystals, Jiang He nonchalantly took out the three hundred thousand immortal crystals he planted and handed them to Jin Sidao, saying, "Here are three hundred thousand immortal crystals. Use two hundred and fifty thousand to pay off your debt, and consider the remaining fifty thousand as payment for your hard work over the last few days."
"Thank you, Mister Jiang!"
Jin Sidao was in tears of gratitude and almost dropped to his knees.
Fifty thousand immortal crystals …
That was enough for him to buy a premium-grade immortal flying sword!
On the other hand, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Golden Immortal was red-eyed.
What the hell!
Fifty thousand immortal crystals …
After all, he only had a little over fifty thousand immortal crystals before this.
After all, he needed to spend a lot of Immortal Crystals to buy cultivation resources, such as Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Pills, Talismans, Cultivation Techniques, and so on. His entire fortune was only about four to five hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, which he had accumulated over countless years.
As for Jin Sidao …
A Mahayana-tier disciple and grand-disciple had been running around for days, buying immortal crystals from various sects and factions …
And in just a few days, he had earned almost an eighth of his net worth?
And that did not include the price difference that the dog Jin Sidao earned as a middleman.
Jiang He's price was 1: 1.5, while Jin Sidao's price for the other sects was 1: 1.05. In other words, he would earn 4,500 immortal crystals for every ten thousand immortal crystals he exchanged. Aside from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's immortal crystals, he did not make any profit, which meant that he would earn around two hundred thousand immortal crystals in total.
Gasp!
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Golden Immortal felt a little sad at that thought.
Before, Jin Sidao had come to him and asked him to bring him to the various immortal sects for a business deal, even offering to split the immortal crystals he earned fifty-fifty. Still, the Golden Immortal did not agree and refused with a straight face.
"Why would I need payment for doing something for my sect's disciple?"
"You have guarded the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for over two thousand years. You have worked hard even if not meritorious, and all the immortal crystals you earned this time belong to you."
In his mind, the words that he had said that day echoed.
The Golden Immortal patriarch suddenly had the urge to slap himself a few times.
Still, he was a peak Golden Immortal and soon recovered. He was about to speak when Jiang He waved his hand again …
Whoosh!
Immortal light overflowed in the mansion, and over a dozen immortal flying swords hovered before his eyes.
Aside from the dozen immortal flying swords, there were also eight immortal combat suits.
Jiang He smiled. "Old Jin, you've helped me a lot by running errands for me. How about this: pick two more immortal items aside from the fifty thousand immortal crystals."
Slap!
Jin Sidao slapped himself and exclaimed in shock, "Am I really not dreaming?"
Jiang He was speechless.
Was there a need for that?
It was just two inferior-grade immortal items. How much were they worth?
Right now, he had a lot of immortal items. There were almost a hundred inferior-grade immortal items, over twenty mediocre-grade immortal items, and six superior-grade immortal items. Moreover, he also had the Primordial Bell, the Golden Radiance Sword, and the Amethyst Sword he obtained from the Penglai Sect's Golden Immortal.
Moreover, he had obtained many fragments of premium-grade and mediocre-grade immortal flying swords when he ambushed the elites of several factions in outer space, which he had yet to plant.
After planting them and strengthening them, he would gain many more premium-grade immortal items and soul treasures.
"Sigh …"
"I have no use for so many immortal items and soul treasures. Whatever, I'll just give some away when I have the time."
Jiang He was very annoyed.
After some small talk, the Golden Immortal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect changed his tone and cut to the chase, saying, "Brother Jiang He, the truth is that I have something important to discuss with you today."
"Oh?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he asked in surprise, "What is it?"
"The Hundred Races Invasion!"
The Golden Immortal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect took a deep breath and said somberly, "Actually, we have returned to the homeworld to repel the Hundred Races Invasion. Now that the dimensions around the homeworld have been unsealed, the Hundred Races would definitely attack us again, and I'm afraid that what happened all those years ago would happen again."
Jiang He's expression changed at that and he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that nonsense?"
"I've heard that the Hundred Races of the Universe are very powerful. Even the Sky Demons, one of the weakest of the Hundred Races, have many Golden Immortals and Grand Luo. In fact, the Patriarch of the Sky Demons was a powerful Demi-Saint, and some of the stronger races even have Saints."
"You bunch of repulsive people have a few Golden Immortals, a dozen True Immortals, and a hundred or so Heavenly Immortals. How are you supposed to stop them?"
