Chapter 374 - The Third Mysterious Seed
Chapter 374: The Third Mysterious Seed
Jiang He dug out a huge pile of stuff.
First, the white jade bards.
He had gotten four hundred meters worth of these from Guanyin’s Bodhimanda, and it was more than enough for a wall around his farm.
Still, making a fencing required skill.
The most practical method was to dig out a foundation first, after which he would to pour in concrete directly. Then, he would plant the base of the bars into the concrete.
Digging out a foundation was easy, but when it comes to the concrete…
There happened to be a mixing station in Lingzhou City specializing in producing concrete, which was owned by Wang Sizhen. That man had been hitting it rich lately, and the superpowered construction team he oversaw was famous throughout the nation, as well as secured partnerships with multiple foreign countries. In fact, they took part in the construction of many foreign city bases.
As such, Jiang He just had to make a call to get concrete. In fact, he would have enough to rebuild the roads of the entire village, let alone build a tiny foundation.
But…
How troublesome would that be?
“Moreover, the fact that it is troublesome would not matter that matter much. The most important problem here is that concrete ruins soil quality…’
After some thought, Jiang He decided on a simpler method: he just needed to hold the white jade bars up with the soil.
Around three to five inches of the bat planted under the ground would be enough. After that, he could put in a stabilizing array—would he have to be afraid of the fence collapsing then?
“Yeah, yeah, let’s do that.”
“What are you doing, Fourth Brother? Just look at the wall you’re making, it’s slanted by over a dozen centimeters! Take it apart and do it over!”
“As for the shed…”
Sitting underneath the Elder Tea Tree of Enlightenment, Jiang He was shouting until his throat had gone dry. Picking up his teacup and taking two large sips of Big Red Robe tea, he then turned toward the Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle and could not help yelling, “Damn it, you silly eagle! You’re so clumsy that you had almost overturned that potted plant! Don’t you know how precious it is?”
The Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle appeared upset at that.
Even though it had shrunk its size, it still stood up to four meters tall and its claws were larger than the potted plant itself. That was why it had almost knocked over the pots even as it moved it, which frustrated Jiang He so much he was actually feeling heartache.
“Moron,” he then seethed in utter disappointment, “don’t you know how to assumed human form?”
Yuan Spirit daemons could transform and the Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle was already full-fledge Yuan Spirit.
The Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle was dumbstruck.
Changing forms instantly, the Daemonic Qi around its body swirled like smoke and mist with a pop. By the time it faded, a toddler around two years old and wearing a small dudou had appeared in Jiang He’s vision.
The toddler was staring tearfully at Jiang He. Its body retained some of the Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle’s attributes—for examples, its eyes were dull-golden, while its hair was violet.
Jiang He was dumbstruck.
In the end, he could not scold it since the Blazing Violet-Golden Eagle was still a kid!
Jiang He only remembered then that it had only been around two months since it had been born.
Nearby, the golden eaglet transformed into a toddler as well.
He was similar to his mutated younger sibling in appearance, having dull golden eyes as well, although the golden eaglet’s hair was blonde.
“Fine, fine, the two of you don’t need to work. Go run off to a corner and play!”
Jiang He barked with a scowl, only to find the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers staring tearfully at himself as well, leaving him at a loss for words and unable to decide if he should laugh or cry. “You all don’t need to work either… come, Gramps will give you lollipops.”
Even as he spoke, he redeemed seven pellets of nitrogen fertilizers.
The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers accepted their ‘candies’ and happily ran off.
After all, Jiang He was a person with principles—he would never resort to child labor.
“I won’t plant the purple bamboo forest for now, since I should only decide on the design after my farm levels up and the ground surface area expands… likewise, I should dig the artificial lake after my farm levels up too.”
“Okay.”
“I could use the purple bamboos to make chairs where I could put the potted plants.”
Taking out several purple bamboos, Jiang He began to build some chairs, which was a simple matter for Jiang He. In fact, he managed to build over ten little chairs in just half an hour.
He hence put the wooden chairs beside the white jade bars and placing the potted plants above. Though his craftmanship was not immaculate, the rather primitive crudeness had its own sense of aesthetic.
“I planted the immortal daemon fox’s corpse.”
“There would be eleven bodies if I include the corpses of the other Mahayana foxes of Green Hill, and I planted the rest too.”
“Right… and there’s still a lot of Sufferance and Mahayana fox corpses…”
“That Feral Corpse… oh, it’s that blind ox daemon from the Thousand Cavern Mountain!”
Jiang He realized then that a massive ox daemon’s corpse lay amongst the corpses he had emptied out.
The ox daemon stood over a dozen meters tall, which was taller than his mansion. Its fur was blue and its two horns were as tough as it was sharp. After testing it out for a bit, Jiang He realized that the ox horns were as hard as premium-grade sage items.
Crack!
With a single swing of his sword, Jiang He cut off the ox daemon’s two horns that were taller than himself.
“Awesome. I just need to hone these horns a bit to fashion them into incredible item refinement materials. Being a grandmaster at item refinement myself but never actually having done it, I could take the time to try it since I had hoarded quite a lot of treasures and wouldn’t lack premium-grade item refinement materials.”
At Mahayana-tier, even the ox daemon’s pelt was a treasure. Each strand of fur could match premium-grade soul item in hardness, and if it was infused within a modern composite alloy, a metal stronger than S-grade composite alloys could be crafted.
“I’ll keep the pelt for Mu Wanqiu. Didn’t she set up a branch of the Superpower Research Department at Lingzhou City? I could let her experiment with it.”
“As for the ox daemon corpse…”
Jiang He pondered.
He would not be planting the ox daemon’s corpse and would save it for food instead… Moreover, he needed to feed his Cloudscraper Vine, and that would need a lot a meat.
Just days ago, the Cloudscraper Vine had mutated for a third time.
Its thirty-six vines had hence split into seventy-two, with each vine becoming twice as thick and growing up to a kilometer in length.
Right now, the Cloudscraper Vine would definitely be a match for Yuan Spirit cultivators, but that was still too weak for Jiang He.
“That said, the Cloudscraper Vine is the least difficult to develop. I did get a lot of fox corpses from Green Hill, with no lack of Yuan Spirit, Convergence, and Sufferance daemon cultivators. I just have to feed the Cloudscraper Vine some and it would not be too difficult for it to evolve twice afterwards.”
As the thought crossed Jiang He’s mind, he nonchalantly took out the corpses of several Yuan Spirit daemon foxes and threw them to the Cloudscraper Vine.
Delighted, the Cloudscraper Vine’s seventy-two vines coiled around the corpse, its many spikes stabbing into the corpses as it consumed their blood and flesh.
Then, he spoke to the willow tree for a while.
Right now, the willow tree had already cultivated the Eastern Emperor Greenwood Art. Its powers were growing every passing day and it would not be long before it could transform.
Before, Jiang He had been looking forward to the willow tree’s transformation, though he now worried about it… It would be a headache if it transformed into a girl toddler like the two eaglets.
Soon, two hours had passed, and another batch of spirit stone had ripened.
After plucking the spirit stones, Jiang He planted the moon he traded from the Taixu Sect chieftain.
“Oh, yes.”
“I did promise to craft two sage items for the Taixu Sect chieftain… wonder when he would come to put in his order.”
It was now already night.
Jiang He returned to the farm after finishing dinner and stayed there until the wee hours of the morning, when he had finally planted all the spirit stones and initiation pellets he had on hand.
With a flip of his palm, Jiang He swiftly planted the third Mysterious Seed.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang He checked his System Panel and muttered, “Time to level up the farm!”
He had the ascension materials for his farm anyway.
Orirocks, Yuan Spirit daemon corpses…
He planted everything in his farm.
And soon enough… ooom!
The entire farm quaked, and in the next instant, the Yuan Qi in the farm rapidly changed, just as another unique energy was spreading in the farm.
“Oh, right!”
“I still have one Mysterious Seed left!”
The Mysterious Seed could grow quickly and ripen with the special energy that appeared when his farm level up!
Moreover, Jiang He had high hopes for the Mysterious Seed.
He had gotten Boa Hancock from the first Mysterious Seed and the Spirit Animal Ring with the second, though he had yet to use the latter.
But what about the third Mysterious Seed?
What could grow from it?
