"Learn!"
[Ding!]
[-2000 Farm Points]
"Congratulations, Host. You have successfully cultivated the first level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade to the Greater Mastery stage."
A System Notification jingled in Jiang He's head, and a stream of information poured into his mind. An epiphany arose within Jiang He, and a razor-sharp Blade Qi wafted around his body.
"What a shame!"
"My house is too small to unleash it, or I could test the power of the Ninefold Thunderblade."
He then turned to the System panel.
[Name: Jiang He]
[Cultivation: Rank-Five Advanced]
[Ability: Royal Sword]
[Martial Arts Cultivation Method]: Indestructible Diamond Divine Art (Initial Success +), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (+), Blind Princess's Eight Practices (Second Practice +), Strengthened Nine Yang Divine Art (First Tier +), Ninefold Thunder Blade (First Tier +).

[Farm Points: 1850]
"My cultivation is still rank-five advanced?"
"But my combat ability has clearly doubled …"
"I have less than 2000 Farm Points now!"
Complaining inwardly, Jiang He decided to cultivate martial arts without relying on the System to experience the joys of cultivation since he had nothing better to do.
First, Jiang He tried the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
He had only learned six styles, and there were still twelve he had yet to learn. Even after practicing all twelve styles, he still could not cast any of them when he turned his head.
He then tried to cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique. After cultivating for half an hour, the system showed that he was still at the initial level of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique.
Then, he tried Blind Princess's Eight Practices.
He ran all the way from his house to the village entrance, and back again, failing to master the third practice.
"Forget it …"
"It's too troublesome."
Jiang He smiled begrudgingly, shaking his head and sighing, "As I thought, I won't be able to experience the joys of arduous cultivation for the rest of my life. Moreover, it seems that the Strengthened Nine Yang Technique is a boast even though it's claimed that every martial art under the heavens can be used as a supplement. Perhaps I would have to cultivate it to mastery for such an effect."
Back at home, the workers were working in full swing.
Wang Sizhen specially arranged for two workers to build a wall for the garden.
On the other hand, he had put on an apron and set up a stove outside the yard, cooking two large pots of wolf meat. He was taken aback when he saw Jiang He, and asked, "What meat are you cooking, Jiang He? It doesn't look like beef. "
"Wolf meat."
Jiang He did not hold back either and said, "I went to the mountains a few days ago and ran into a pack of wolves, killing some of them."
"What?"
Wang Sizhen lowered his voice and said, "Could it be a ferocious beast? According to the news, more than 70% of the animals and beasts in the mountains have evolved and mutated into terrifying beasts. "
Pausing, he then smiled, "By the way, Jiang He, did you know that our city has opened a martial arts academy? Is the admission standard strict? I want to sign up too. "
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
Your son already knows how to buy soy sauce. What's the point of enrolling in the Institute of Martial Arts?
Why was he so obsessed with martial arts?
But after thinking about it, he came to a realization.
Who didn't have a martial arts dream when they were young? Wang Sizhen was even more obsessed. When they played together as children, he would always carry a cornstalk around his hip and transform into Thirteenth Gentleman Xiao at every turn, beating up the old locust trees at the entrance of the village until they were not fully grown even now.
"The martial arts academy would have an age limit for admission, wouldn't it?"
Jiang He thought about it and said, "Feral meat improves physique substantially for normal people. You could have a few more pieces and some cold dishes, and you might be surprised."
Wang Sizhen's eyes were twinkling.
Being the boss and cook of the workers, he did have that little privilege.
Glancing at his phone, he saw that there was a message from Wang Siyu. The gist of it was that she had accepted a mission at the last minute this morning, and was out on a mission with Li Fei, Su Ze, Liu Xue, and the others. As such, she would not be coming over for lunch.
Calling out to Wang Sizhen and having him leave behind a stack of cucumbers and several catties of cooked meat, Jiang He climbed into his sports car and went for a spin.
Inside the car, he turned on autopilot.
Jiang He lowered his seat a little and leaned on it, turning on the music player and playing several songs with a strong beat. Then, he took out a handful of qi pellets and swallowed the pellets while listening to the songs, feeling very satisfied.
Of course …
Perhaps because he had eaten too many qi pellets, they were no longer effective. Still, they were not bad as snacks, unlike cucumbers, which he would get sick of after a few.
Moreover, walnuts were not bad either.
They were thin-skinned and fragrant, and most importantly, he did not have to peel them. Jiang He would eat a few every day, and he could clearly feel his spirit growing recently. The radiance of the short luminous sword in his head had dimmed considerably, but it had also shrunk a little.
After finishing the qi pellets and two walnuts, Jiang He looked inside at the vast ocean of swords and the luminous sword above it, and nodded in satisfaction. "If it keeps growing at this rate, it would not be a dream for my Sword Qi to travel over three thousand miles in the future."
He then circled around Lingzhou City.
Jiang He noticed that many skyscrapers had been built around Lingzhou City, and arrangements were being made for residents to move in some of the completed skyscrapers.
A military base had been built on the outskirts, and it was said that there would be electric fences to form a protective circle.
The revival of spiritual energy was a natural disaster, a natural disaster on the level of the apocalypse. However, the country had spent a lot of manpower and resources over the years to arrange too many response plans, which led to a sharp contrast between the situation at home and abroad.
While there had been many Feral assaults in the country recently, with some towns and villages directly falling and the death toll increasing by the day, it was countless times better than abroad.
The population was concentrated and the military controlled.
The policy was being carried out in an orderly manner. On the other hand, abroad …
Jiang He had read a report yesterday that there were still people protesting on the streets at such a critical juncture, calling for human rights and freedom, while Awakened were causing trouble and stirring up riots.
It was already afternoon when Jiang He returned home.
The mansion was progressing quickly, and Jiang He estimated that it would be completed in two days at most.
After some thought, he said, "Everyone, you don't have to work overtime for the next few days. Go home and get some rest."
After sending the workers away, Jiang He climbed into his sports car expectantly.
Yes.
According to the script.
The Sky Demon Cult would probably attack him now that they know about him, wouldn't they? And it would be the best time for them to strike after nightfall!
"The Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General … could I cut down two rank-seven grandmasters?"
Even so, three days passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang He did not even catch a glimpse of the Sky Demon Cult, and his high expectations slowly turned to disappointment.
Nightfall.
Lying in the car.
Jiang He was munching on qi pellets and walnuts, feeling a little dull and tasteless.
"Why aren't the Sky Demon Cult playing by the book?"
Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The croaking of cicadas could be faintly heard beside Jiang He's ears, watching short videos until one in the morning, unable to sleep no matter how he tossed and turned.
"No way!
"This is too boring!
"Why can't I go to the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General not come to me?
