In the days that followed, Jiang He lived a very fulfilling life.
Every six hours, he had to harvest ripened 'pills' and 'magical treasures'.
Millions of fiendish and marvelous weapons, after being planted on the farm, had not only leaped in quality but also changed in nature, making them usable for the "Immortal Cultivators".
Soon, seven days had passed.
All the medicinal pellets and mystic treasures he looted from the Gods' and Demons' bases in the celestial battlefield had been planted.
At a corner of his farm, beneath the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment in the courtyard of the Chinese-style mansion.
Jiang He leaned on his cane chair and glanced at his System, sighing, "I'm just a few hundred billion Farm Points away from reaching Demi-Saint … what a shame that I'm out of medicinal pellets and mystic treasures."
"Trumbo!"
Jiang He called Trumbo and asked, "Have you sorted them out?"
"Replying Master, everything has been sorted out."
Dumbo was usually in charge of sorting out and categorizing the mystic treasures and medicinal pellets, while Jiang He was in charge of harvesting them. With a wave of his hand and a gust of Immortal Yuan Strength, he could harvest a huge swathe of them.
Trumbo took out several Spatial Rings and said, "This time, we've harvested a total of 1.8 million mediocre-grade immortal items, 700,000 superior-grade immortal items, 300,000 premium-grade immortal items, and 18,000 inferior-grade acquired soul treasures."
"Moreover, there are 2.8 million rank-three immortal pellets, 3 million rank-four immortal pellets, 600,000 rank-five immortal pellets, and 300,000 rank-seven immortal pellets."
"That's all?"
Jiang He was a little disgusted.
That was not even as much as the Jade Emperor's Celestial Emperor's vault.
Still, it made sense when he thought about it.
After all, the Jade Emperor had emptied out the Celestial Emperor's vault for Jiang He, whereas the treasures of the Gods and Demons were merely the ones stored in the vault of the celestial battlefield's base. Jiang He had not even ransacked them all.
"Dumbo, bring these mystic treasures with Trumbo and find Zhao Gongming. Tell him that we're doing business with the Jie Sect."
"Medicinal pellets for medicinal pellets, and mystic treasures for mystic treasures."
"As for medicinal pellets and mystic treasures of the same grade, we'll trade them at a ratio of 10: 1, and mystic treasures at 2: 1."
"This …"
Dumbo hesitated for a few seconds before advising, "Master, with your current status, the Jie Sect would give you face even if you exchange for a 1: 1 ratio … 10: 1 for medicinal pellets of the same grade, and 2: 1 for immortal items of the same grade … wouldn't that be too easy for the Jie Sect?"
"You've learned to be calculative."
Jiang He could not help chuckling. "There's nothing cheap about it … right now, we have dozens of Spatial Rings filled with mystic treasures and medicinal pellets, and the resources we have accumulated are enough to forge ten million immortal weapons. In terms of wealth, we are no different from some intermediate races."
"Not just that."
Trumbo said seriously, "Master's wealth is enough to forge thirty million immortal armaments, and the so-called intermediate races are those like the Stoners who have no Saints but more than two Demi-Saints. Master's wealth is probably more than that."
"Let's not talk about other things. Just the number of Spirit Treasures that a mid-level race without a Grandmaster Blacksmith can't possibly have as many as Master."
Right now, Jiang He had over ten thousand soul treasures.
Of course.
There were not many mediocre-grade and superior-grade soul treasures, and there were only a dozen premium-grade acquired soul treasures … but Jiang He had almost a hundred thousand inferior-grade acquired soul treasures!
Those things were not worth much to him.
A premium-grade immortal item and half a bag of Living Soil of the Nine Heavens would metamorphose into inferior-grade acquired soul treasures after three hours of being buried in his farm.
"Am I that rich now?"
Jiang He was surprised, but soon shook his head and said, "Only premium-grade acquired soul treasures or innate soul treasures would be useful to me now. Ordinary acquired soul treasures are no different from scrap metal."
"It would be better to arm the average cultivators of the Three Realms, so that they would have a better chance of winning against the cultivators of the Gods and Demons … Eh …"
At that, Jiang He suddenly remembered something.
He had Dumbo and Trumbo bring their mystic treasures and medicinal pellets to the Jie Sect in exchange for resources, while he went to the luxurious underground cave to find the Daoist of Many Treasures.
Right now, the Daoist of Many Treasures was eating a lollipop …
It was one of the five buckets of Dao Enlightenment Pellets that Jiang He had given him.
"Ah!"
The Daoist of Many Treasures' eyes lit up at Jiang He's visit, and he quickly rose to his feet to greet him with a smile. "Brother Jiang He, are you done with your seclusion? How did your cultivation go? "
"It's still lacking," Jiang He replied, cutting straight to the point.
Jiang He replied and cut to the chase, saying, "Brother Many Treasures, I've come to you today to ask you about something."
"What is it?"
The Daoist of Many Treasures flashed his signature silly grin.
"Aside from the Gods, Demons, and their vassal races, were there any other Demi-Saints who came after me?"
Jiang He showed a reminiscing look and said, "At the time, after I used my array and almost three hundred slaves that could match Grand Luo to kill a dozen Demi-Saints, I wanted to return the favor and vent my anger at the Gods and Demons' bases in the celestial battlefield. I didn't expect to be ambushed, and I was so focused on running that I didn't bother to identify who was after me."
"Of course, I'm not familiar with those foreign Demi-Saints, and I couldn't tell who they were or which race they belonged to."
"While I was cultivating in seclusion just now, I suddenly remembered that several neutral Demi-Saints had joined the battle in outer space outside the Three Realms base?"
The Daoist of Many Treasures nodded and said, "Aside from the Demi-Saints of the Gods, Demons, and their vassal races, there were also Demi-Saints of the machine race, insectoids, and cosmic behemoths who came after you."
"At the time, Brother Xuandu had killed the Stoners and we had the upper hand, and we were confident that we could kill all the Demi-Saints …"
At that, the Daoist of Many Treasures sighed. "It's a pity that the Saints of the Gods, Demons, machine race, and insectoids showed up at the same time, and we had to stop fighting."
"Aren't the machine race and the insectoids neutral?"
Jiang He frowned and asked in confusion, "Leaving aside the Demi-Saints of their races joining in, even their Saints? Aren't they afraid that the Three Realms would go to war against them? If I remember correctly, the strength of the Bug Race and the Machine Race isn't considered too strong. "
The machine race and the insectoids were the hegemons of the universe as well.
Even so, there were differences in strength among the hegemons of the universe.
A race that had a Sage overseeing it was generally considered a "Universe Overlord" race. The top 20 races in the universe all had a Sage overseeing it.
For example, the humans of the Three Realms had six Saints.
The God Race and the Demon Race each had four Saints.
On the other hand, the hegemons such as the machine race and the insectoids only had two Saints, or even one.
That was what Jiang He found unbelievable.
Did the machine race and the insectoids eat a bear's heart or a leopard's gall?
They actually dared to send people after him?
Were they not afraid of the humans of the Three Realms retaliating?
The Daoist of Many Treasures smiled. "The machines and the insectoids are naturally afraid of the humans of the Three Realms, but there are still the gods and demons. If the gods and demons join forces, along with the machines and the insectoids, there will be twelve Saints. Even if their individual combat power is inferior to the six Saints of the Three Realms, their numbers are double that of the six Saints of the Three Realms … Of course, the Saints of the machines and the insectoids have spoken."
"They do not know that the Demi-Saints of their two races are hunting you down, and they would remain neutral and punish the two Demi-Saints."
Hehe.
Jiang He was amused.
Punish?
"I would have died that day if I didn't have some ability to escape. The Demi-Saints of the machine race and the insectoids would end it with a simple sentence of punishment?"
Many Treasures sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. If there's no absolute advantage, the Sacred War can't start. Otherwise, a long battle between the Saints would be enough to cause unpredictable damage to the universe."
"If the war between the Saints cannot be started … what about those beneath the Saints?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched then and he said somberly, "Right now, the Grand Luo and Demi-Saints of the Gods, Demons, and their vassal races are suffering terrible losses. Would they dare to help us if we start a war between Grand Luo and Demi-Saints against the machine race and the insectoids?"
The Daoist of Many Treasures' eyes lit up.
Still, he soon added, "There would definitely be casualties in war, and the Grand Luo and Demi-Saints of the Three Realms might not agree … many would believe that there is no need to wage war against the machine race and the insectoids."
"Moreover, the machine race and the insectoids are neutral races on the surface, and the Six Saints might not agree to wage war against them either."
"What kind of neutral race are they?"
Jiang He glared and said, "I'll go myself if the Six Saints don't agree … I, Jiang He, have never been able to stay out of an enemy's pursuit ever since I started cultivating … if the Six Saints don't agree, I'll avenge myself!"
"It's fine even if the Grand Luo and Demi-Saints of the Three Realms don't help … there would always be brave men with great rewards, and when the time comes, I'll offer dozens of thousands of soul treasures as a reward … eh?"
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face and he exclaimed, "I can offer a reward right now … Brother Many Treasures, is there any way to offer a reward across the universe? I want to offer a reward for the machine race and insectoids … "
"Anyone who kills a Golden Immortal of the machine race or insectoid race would receive a set of premium-grade immortal items."
"Anyone who kills a Grand Luo of the machine race or insectoid race would receive a set of inferior-grade acquired soul treasures."
"Anyone who kills a Demi-Saint of the machine race or insectoid race would receive a set of superior-grade acquired soul treasures and fifty inferior-grade acquired soul treasures … by the way, there are rewards for killing Golden Immortals, Grand Luo, and Demi-Saints of the Gods and Demons!"
Jiang He grinned fearsomely. "I refuse to believe that the untitled cultivators across worlds would not be tempted!"
The Daoist of Many Treasures gaped and exclaimed in shock, "It's not just untitled cultivators, even the elites of the race you're offering a bounty on would be tempted … well, I'll have someone spread the word right away … but cultivators of the machine race and insectoid race are famous for being difficult to kill, and the Gods and Demons have retreated to the vicinity of the God Realm and the Demon Realm, even retreating from the celestial battlefield. No untitled cultivators would dare to kill them."
"It's fine."
Jiang He smiled. "It doesn't matter if I can kill them or not, but I mainly want to disgust them … when I'm strong enough, I'll get back at them with my own hands."
That was when a commotion could be heard from outside.
The Daoist of Many Treasures' ears twitched and he stepped out of the cave to check, only to find many Jie Sect disciples running off into the distance. He promptly stopped one of them and asked, only to hear that disciple say, "A cat and a dog have come to the Jie Sect with many mystic treasures and immortal pellets, and they're trading to purchase our immortal pellets and mystic treasures."
Furious, the Daoist of Many Treasures barked, "Are the Jie Sect disciples that poor? Selling our own mystic treasures and immortal pellets? "
Unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, the disciple said, "But they're trading ten rank-three immortal pellets for one of ours, and two superior-grade immortal items for one of ours … surely we can't turn down such a great opportunity, can we?"
The Jie Sect disciple promptly ran off.
The Daoist of Many Treasures cursed a few times before coming to his senses and looking at Jiang He. When he saw Jiang He nod, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Jiang He … I still have some soul treasures here and there. Could you trade them for me?"
