  “Are you sure?”


  Mu Wanqiu advised. “The blended qi pellets are very expensive, and could save your life when you use it to restore your True Qi when you need it. However, it would be wasteful if you use it for cultivation.”


  Looking at Jiang He, she then added, “You’re now rank-six advanced, and if I’m right, your cultivation method must be very efficient, granting you abundant True Qi far surpassing any peer. Ten blended qi pellets might not be enough for you to rise beyond rank-six pinnacle.”


  “I’ve already said give me everything. You just have to tell me whether you’re selling—why are you talking so much?”


  “Fine!”


  Mu Wanqiu retorted. “The corpse of the rank-eight horned boar is very complete, but its flesh has decayed because it has been dead for a long time. Still, that won’t matter much—the estimated valuation for it is 3.8 million, and you would have eight million left after deducting the price for the ten blended qi pellets.”


  “Would you still be buying qi pellets with the remaining funds? If not, I’ll wire it to your account.”


  Jiang He thought about it and said, “Sure. I’ve also recovered two S-grade alloy weapons. Would the National Superpower Research Department (NSRD) buy them?”


  Since the weapons he recovered from the Earthen Majesty Heavenly General and Earthen Diction Heavenly General were useless even if he kept them, he could simply sell them off.

  “The difference in value between S-grade weapons are enormous, and would only be priced after appraisal. There are many types of S-grade composite metals, and any weapons forged from such metals are a combination of different weapons. Some martial artists who do not have enough money would actually add in A-grade metals to S-grade weapons.”


  Mu Wanqiu was quite knowledgeable in the subject, but that made sense.

  Her grandfather, one of the founders of the NSRD was said to be a part of the invention and development for new metal matrix composites, and Mu Wanqiu must have been educated about it at a young age, therefore knowing more than your average person.

  “Alright.”


  Jiang He did not draw out both alloy weapons immediately from his System Backpack, and said, “I’ll bring the weapons to the Martial Arts Department (MAD) when I head there later. You can prepare the qi pellets for me—I’ll take them in the afternoon.

  Hence, they completed their business discussion.

  Mu Wanqiu’s tone changed then, and she said, “Jiang He, I actually have something else to discuss with you today.”


  Even as she spoke, she glanced at Wu Yueru who was about to speak, when Jiang He waved her off, smiling. “If it’s about the Martial Arts Academy (MAA), you may save your breath. I’m not fit to be a teacher, and aren’t you afraid I’ll drag my students into a ditch if I’m leading them?”


  “Why would you drag them to a ditch?”


  There was confusion on Wu Yueru’s face.

  Beside her, Mu Wanqiu chuckled and explained for Wu Yueru, “It must be a dialect around these parts, which means to misguide students.”


  “No way!”


  Wu Yueru exclaimed. “With Jiang He’s personality and charisma, how could he misguide the students?”


  “.……”


  Mu Wanqiu could not say a word for a long time, whereas Jiang He was delighted.

  Wu Yueru has some taste…… Still, despite her mature looks and quiet demeanor, it seems that she’s quite the lovesick type too? This was only their second meeting, and was she already conquered by his personality and charisma?

  Even so, Jiang He is definitely not going to take the post of director at the MAA.

  Would he not be absolutely preoccupied if he had to deal with the piles of administrative duties every single day?

  Would it not be better if he could live his days quietly, minding his yard and eating the fruits and vegetables he grew by himself. What could he ask for more?

  Still, Wu Yueru did not try to keep persuading them after Jiang He insisted.

  She rose to her feet and shook his hand, saying, “I wouldn’t force you since you’re reluctant, Mister Jiang. However, you could give a lecture at the academy if you have the time, since you are a hero of Lingzhou City now, and your exploits are known in the city even if it was not reported in the news. All the academy recruits worship you a lot.”


  “That’s not a problem.”


  Jiang He reluctantly let go of Wu Yueru’s hand then and escorted the two beauties out of his house before returning inside.

  He had a meal, but did not even wash his pot.

  “Doing the dishes is so difficult……”


  Jiang He scowled, before thinking, ‘Washing up would be much more convenient if I could awaken water-type powers…… all I need is think about it.”


  Dumbo and Trumbo did have water-type powers, but how could a cat and a dog do the dishes?

  That was why hiring—planting a maid was more convenient.

  “I’ll have to test whether I could grow a maid. Still, I would have to grow a mansion first since that takes priority. This house is so plain that there’s no spot anyone could sit when they visit. It’s quite embarrassing.”


  And he had to give his maid a place to sleep when he grew one?

  Surely she could not squeeze inside his sports car with him, could she?

  Hence, Jiang He moved out his kitchen utensils out of the house and into his yard, directing his True Qi and promptly slapped out with Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse!

  Rawr!

  A draconic roar thundered.

  The golden silhouette of a dragon streaked out into the mansion that was just finished days ago, and the building collapsed with a single rumble. After that, Jiang He launched another palm, blowing a gust that blew away the debris.

  However, Jiang He froze after he did that.

  “Hold on……”


  “How am I supposed to grow a mansion?”


  “My yard is just one Mu. Could a mansion even be planted?”


  “Maybe I could try a model?”


  Jiang He remembered his experience of planting a car then, his eyes twinkling when the idea came to him, although he soon scowled again. “Planting a model would definitely work, but it becomes very huge after its grown. Wouldn’t it be too huge for my farm?”


  “And while there are models for cars and mansions…… but what about maids?”


  Jiang He thought about it.

  If he remembered correctly, there were maid dolls available online that warms the bed, although it could not walk, jump or talk. Still, there was no telling whether it could be planted.

  “A maid doll might work, although I don’t know what would grow…… why bother planting her if she couldn’t cook or do the dishes?”


  Jiang He was a little worried.

  There was no telling if the maid could be grown the way he wanted……

  At the very least, he would need a pretty doll. Would he not just slap an ugly one to death?

  “That said, the maid is not urgent. I need to get a mansion right now, or I’m going to develop back problems if I keep sleeping in the sports car everyday……”


  Jiang He hence headed to the yard to check on the graves he had buried last night.

  There was a layer of bricks piled over the graves, which were clearly put in place by Dumbo and Trumbo…… who were also jumping up and down over them now.

  However, Jiang He was not surprised to find that nothing had happened over the graves.

  It took a few days for the grass to grow on the grave of the B-type water-type Awakened, who was equivalent to a rank-five or six martial artists. On the other hand, the weakest of the corpses last night was the Earthen Savage Heavenly General, who was equal to a rank-seven grandmaster.

  “What’s the name of the water-type Awakened again?”


  Jiang He thought about it…… there seemed to be ‘water’ in his name.

  Still, that was alright, since a minor character like him didn’t deserve a name.

  “His ability was equal to rank-five, but he was at the level of rank-six pinnacles because it was raining the other day…… My farm level was three, and that means I could only plant corpses two levels above that.”


  After all, Jiang He had planted rank-six corpses before: a rank-six wolf. Nonetheless, those were all corpses and there would not be much different—the two-level gap was more a hands-on aspect.

  Moreover, Jiang He had a vague theory.

  Planting a corpse might not assuredly produce a person. For example, grass containing that water-type Awakened Sky Demon Cultist’s essence had grown out his grave, which Dumbo and Trumbo gained water-type superpowers after eating it.

  “Let’s called these grave grasses Power Fruit for now!”


  “So, if I planted an Awakened, I would either revive him into my puppet…… or gain his powers?”


  “Then…… would I gain a martial artist’s cultivation if I planted him?”


  Jiang He then poured out a bowl of qi pellets for Dumbo and Trumbo, saying, “Finish your food. I’m going out for a bit for an errand.”
