Jiang He headed straight to his farm once he returned home.
He had yet to harvest the immortal crystals he had planted in his hurry to deliver the medicine to Wang Hou.
After he did so, Dumbo, Trumbo, the nine Wise Rock Monkeys, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers did not even have to say a word, and began to plant the next batch. Jiang He could not help laughing …
This group of bastards, how dare they steal my job?! "
Left with no other choice, he had his seven fairies dance and sing to pass the time.
In the afternoon, he headed to Lingzhou City to shop and have a meal with Wang Siyu.
Soon, another few days had passed.
It was around one in the afternoon.
Jiang He had just woken up and went downstairs when he found Dumbo running to him, saying, "Master, there's a young cultivator outside, saying that he's a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He's holding a jade charm from the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist and wants to meet you."
"Oh?"
Jiang He was surprised.
A young cultivator?
He washed up and only left his room to find a youth at the eighth-tier of Qi Refinist standing outside.
He was around seventeen or eighteen years old and was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Clearly, he was one of the disciples whom Wang Hou allowed to recruit when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect distributed their secret tome and sent their elites to lecture across the Hua Nation.
There was reverence in the youth's eyes as he looked at Jiang He, along with some heat.
Was there anyone in the Hua Nation who did not know Jiang He?
"What's your name?"
Jiang He could not help asking with a smile when he saw the look on the youth's face. The youth appeared a little nervous and quickly answered, "Mister Jiang, my name is Li Fei, and I'm from Western Xia City. I was fortunate enough to join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect over a month ago to cultivate immortal arts with my master, and now that my master has weathered his retribution and ascended as an immortal, he sent me to invite you to his ascension banquet."
"Your master?"
Jiang He thought then and guessed who the youth's master was, saying, "You are fortunate to be apprenticed to Jin Sidao, the chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. You would definitely become an immortal swordsman in the future, and might even have the chance to lead the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
In the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Jin Sidao was the only one who had a chance of becoming immortal.
As for Jin Sidao, after the immortals of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect returned, he became chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Li Fei was fearful, and quickly said, "I wouldn't dare."
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Jiang He replied flatly, "Cultivators must advance bravely. If I don't even dare to have such a thought, why bother cultivating as an immortal swordsman? I might as well go home and wait for death."
Li Fei scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Actually, I've thought about it before …"
Beside them, Dumbo rolled its eyes and smirked. "Naughty!"
Li Fei did not dare to look at Dumbo. After all, a powerful demon like Dumbo was too terrifying for a weak cultivator like him.
After accepting the invitation, Jiang He nonchalantly rewarded Li Fei with a premium-grade soul item.
Overjoyed, Li Fei turned around and left.
At the eighth tier of Qi Refinist, one could use Royal Sword Flight. However, mystic energy was too weak at that level, and they could neither fly fast nor last long. It was fortunate that Li Fei was a prodigy disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and a personal disciple of the chieftain. He had quite a few spirit stones, and he could absorb spirit stones to replenish his mystic energy while he flew.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect had recruited a total of three hundred disciples, chosen from across the nation. Each of them was a fine seedling in the way of the sword, and the fact that Li Fei could become Jin Sidao's personal disciple and become the chieftain's personal disciple meant that he was the most talented among the three hundred. Otherwise, he would not have reached the eighth tier of Qi Refinist in such a short time.
Jiang He opened the invitation to find lines of cursive written on it.
He asked Trumbo to translate it for him.
The general meaning of the cursive was that Jin Sidao had become immortal, before offering some compliments to Jiang He and inviting him to his ascension banquet.
The banquet would be held three days later, on the twenty-eighth of April.
Putting away the invitation, Jiang He returned home for lunch and harvested some immortal crystals. Then, he took out his rattan chair and basked in the sun at the man-made lake he built in his farm.
But after a while, he found it boring.
"The man-made lake is too small … after all, my farm is only a hundred Mu at the moment. When I level up again and expand to a thousand Mu or even several thousand Mu, I could expand the lake and make a small beach or cove. When that happens, I could also prepare a bikini for Boa and the others …"
That was a good idea.
Even Jiang He's eyes lit up despite his listlessness.
As for the cove?
A beach?
That was not a problem.
"I should make some time to go overseas and see if there's a beautiful beach or cove. I could just cut it off and move it into my farm …"
"I could also get some fish, prawns, and crabs to keep inside, and I could eat fresh seafood whenever I want."
Even as the thought crossed his mind, Boa Hancock was leisurely walking toward him from outside the farm, leaning over to whisper into his ear, "Mister Wang is here, Master."
"Oh?"
Jiang He took off his sunglasses and said, "Got it."
He was bare-chested and wearing a pair of flowery shorts as he swaggered out of the farm.
Still, another thought occurred to him.
He had to drive his Transmogrified Sword to the farm.
Otherwise, it would take him over a dozen minutes to walk out of the farm.
His yard … was too huge!
As for using his cultivation to go out every time …
Who would fly around in their own house?
Stepping out of the farm, a superior-grade acquired soul armor materialized with a thought and turned into a set of fitting tracksuit.
Jiang He arrived at the living room of the mansion, where Wang Hou was having tea on the sofa. The fellow seemed to have learned something new after drinking the Old Tea of Enlightenment, and his Martial Yuan Spirit hovered over his head, his body exuding waves of mystical Dao.
Jiang He showed a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred as he sat in a corner, not disturbing Wang Hou.
Around fifteen minutes later, Wang Hou's aura abruptly withdrew and he breathed a long sigh, smiling, "Jiang He, where did this tea tree of yours come from? I get a different kind of epiphany every time I drink your tea. "
"Sigh!"
Jiang He did not reply, and instead sighed, "I really envy you …"
It was a pity that he did not feel that way even though he drank the Old Tea of Enlightenment every day.
Jiang He felt that it might have something to do with his talent in cultivation, since his talent was too poor …
Wang Hou was utterly confused and unsure what Jiang He was envious about. "By the way, Jiang He," he said, "Jin Sidao has become immortal, and he said that he's holding a banquet. Did he invite you?"
"He sent his disciple here."
"That's good news. I just spoke to Jin Sidao this morning, and he was a little excited since he's the second immortal to ascend after the Revival of Qi."
The first to ascend after the Revival of Qi was naturally Jiang He.
That was why Jin Sidao would say that he was the second. Jiang He, however, exclaimed in shock, "Second? That can't be right. My nine monkeys would have ascended to immortality before Jin Sidao, and my two descendants of the Golden-Winged Roc have ascended as well … my cat and dog are a little lacking, but they are not far from ascending. "
Wang Hou was dumbstruck.
Not wanting to dwell on the matter, his tone changed as he said, "The situation overseas is a little urgent, and they've been asking for reinforcements every day. Now that the situation in the Hua Nation is clear, I'm going there to see if I could open up a sea route so that our martial artists and cultivators could go out to sea or even train abroad."
"Moreover, there are a few grotto-heavens overseas that I'm going to explore to see what's going on."
Musing to himself for seconds, Jiang He then said, "How about this: I'll go with you. It's a good time to relax, and we could move a bay back."
