Jiang He remembered how he had cultivated the Strengthened Nine Yang Technique for hours but failed to master it, and hence gave up on cultivating it entirely.

  To think that he had already mastered it……

  “The Nine Yang Technique is considered one of the godliest of techniques in martial arts, though it could be cultivated naturally without deliberately cultivating it…… was that how I mastered it?”


  “Or did I forget about spending Farm Points to master it?”


  Jiang He muttered to himself for a while, and soon gave up on thinking about it.

  After all, Void-tier in martial arts was no big deal, and insignificant compared to the future of his immortal path and physique cultivation.

  “Still, that reminds me……”


  “There are aspects about martial arts worth referencing. Wang Hou’s Paragon martial arts cultivation gives me the feeling that it would not lose out to Mahayana cultivators and after leveling up the farm, I can plant five cultivation manuals now before leveling up again…… I might be able create a Paragon-tier martial technique.”


  “However, I could not be content with Paragon…… after all, Paragon is just equivalent to Mahayana and less than Heavenly Immortal—what use is it for me even if I cultivate it?”


  Various martial arts depicted in the martial world of the Stormriders hence appeared in Jiang He’s mind unwittingly.

  While that stuff was mostly fabricated from novels, those techniques were bold and unconstrained, and even more overwhelming than immortal arts or other godly moves.

  For example, the godly move that was the Twenty-Three Swords, which cut Yuan Spirit specifically, was a mystical secret Yuan Spirit technique, one which Jiang He had yet seen to have an equivalent even among cultivators at present.

  “I’ll spend my time researching after I’ve dealt with the things I have done on hand, and see what martial technique is most suitable…… oh, and I would have to remake new immortal arts and physique refinement techniques.”


  There were eighth folds to the Three Thousand Calamities, which only supported his cultivation up to full-fledged Heavenly Immortal.

  On the other hand, while there were nine folds to the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula, that stuff was a class beneath the Three Thousand Calamities and could only be considered as mediocre and standard-issue. Indeed, Jiang He estimated that he would only be a little stronger than Heavenly Immortals after cultivating it to mastery.

  And since Jiang He was a man who was going to become a Sword Sage, there was still much road to cover in cultivating the immortal arts.

  This sort of stuff could not be rushed.

  When the Three Thousand Calamities was mastered, he could develop an immortal swordsman’s technique that started from Heavenly Immortal tier, the type that could cut down demigods and the like upon reaching mastery.

  “There is no rush in creating the cultivation manuals. Let’s see what would happen after I plant the stuff I have for now.’


  Collecting his thoughts, Jiang He turned toward the…… thunder trees?

  Hmmm!

  That name was a little embarrassing……

  But it was the truth.

  After their shoots grew out of the ground thanks to the curious energy that swirled when Jiang He leveled up his farm, the forty heavenly thunderbolts Jiang He had planted before had grown into forty trees, each shaped like a lightning bolt and flashing with other cracking bolts.

  The leaves were a deep violet and had the markings of lightning bolts on it too, and it resembled a bolt that streaked through the night skies.

  “Interesting…… Thunder Tree?”


  Jiang He grinned, feeling very curious inwardly…… What would the fruits that eventually grow out from these heavenly thunderbolts be?

  More heavenly thunderbolts?

  Jiang He, however, was no longer that bumbling youth he was before, and no longer believed in the principle of ‘you reap what you sow’.

  Now, the energy that swirled when the farm leveled up had already calmed down, which was why the growth of the Thunder Trees had slowed as well—Jiang He estimated that they would need five to seven days to ripen.

  At the same time, the third Mysterious Seed, which he had planted before leveling his farm, had sprung as well, with a lush emerald-tree growing out of it.

  The growth cycles of the Mysterious Seeds were quite long, and only ripened in seven days. Despite the catalyst effect of the curious energy from the farm’s leveling shortening that by a day or so, the Mysterious Seed would still take at least five days to ripen.

  Meanwhile, the other sage items, soul items, demi-immortal items, and immortal items that Jiang He planted were all ripe. Many mystic treasures now dangled across the farm, each shining and illuminating the farm with dazzling radiances.

  The most eye-catching was a nine-floor White Jade Tower which stood around a foot tall. Its design was exquisite and its four corners sharply articulated, with a dragon head breathing a jade pearl sculpted upon it, while profound immortal mystic scripts were inscribed all over the structure of the tower.

  The White Jade Tower floated at the center of the many mystic treasures with a thin shroud of immortal radiance, and no mystic treasure could get thirty feet near it.

  “A mediocre-grade immortal item!”


  Jiang He laughed out loud before teaching out to grasp towards the White Jade Tower—


  [Ding!]

  [+10 million Farm Points.]

  Jiang He could not help jumping in shock at the jingle of the System Notification and exclaimed in surprise, “I’d actually earned ten million Farm Points from a single mediocre-grade immortal item?”


  He pondered after his initial surprise.

  “That said, I could earn Farm Points without limit if I could craft immortal items on my own…… I would craft over two thousand inferior-grade immortal items and use those as seeds, plant them, and strengthen them…… after that, I would earn two thousand mediocre-grade immortal items while receiving ten million Farm Points for each…… gasp!”


  Even Jiang He himself inhaled sharply.

  He turned his eyes to the White Jade Tower, and a series of data quickly popped up before his eyes.

  [Nine Skies Palace]

  [Grade: mediocre-grade immortal item.]

  [Sacrifice a drop of blood for use.]

  “Nine Skies Palace?”


  “Why would a jade tower be named so?”


  Jiang He was a little perplexed, but after he invoked it with a drop of blood…… he understood.

  His mind shifted and the jade tower shone with veins of Immortal Dao after a brief hum and vibration. It took to the skies entirely, instantly expanding while the many floors split apart, and the entire structure transformed into nine palaces.

  Back at Green Hill, that White Jade Tower was formed with the powerful nine demi-immortal palaces. After Jiang He had planted it and strengthened it, it was improved from inferior-grade to mediocre-grade immortal item—now, even if it was split into nine palaces, they were shining in immortal radiance, with each having strengthened to inferior-grade immortal items.

  With just a thought from Jiang He, the nine palaces flew up and combined as one, forming the Jade Tower once again.

  It then landed on the ground, now being three hundred and thirty feet tall.

  Jiang He strode inside the Jade Tower and only came out after strolling around for half an hour, and could not help laughing, “Funny…… the foolish Green Hill Foxes actually used the Nine Skies Palace as a defensive mystic treasure. What overkill.”


  Jiang He more or less understood how to use the Nine Skies Palace after studying it for around half an hour.

  This item must have been an heirloom left to the Green Hill Foxes by their immortal predecessors to better develop the younger Green Hill Foxes. Each floor contains a trial checkpoint, assessing sword techniques, blade techniques, physical techniques and the Daoist heart.

  “Still, Dumbo and the others would have some use for it…… moreover, the design is quite comfortable, and I could keep it around the farm.”


  Aside from the Nine Skies Palace, Jiang He had planted nine other immortal items.

  These immortal items were all planted and strengthened out of demi-immortal items, six of which he had obtained from Green Hill, and the other three from the blind cultivators who tried to kill him, only to be killed by Jiang He in return.

  Of the nine immortal items, one was an inferior-grade immortal combat armor, which was originally worn by Fabulous Fox of Green Hill.

  Among those nine immortal items, two were flying swords, two were combat blades, while the others were a spear, a daemonic banner, a bell, and a scarlet combat axe.

  There were also over thirty demi-immortal items planted.

  Those were strengthened from premium-grade sage items, and Jiang He obtained some as compensation from the Foxes of Mount Changbai and the Scale Dragons of Mount Changbai, and recovered the others from the ruins of Green Hill.

  One must say that the Green Hill Foxes were quite rich.

  Flying swords occupied more than a third of those thirty-or-so demi-immortal items, since swords were the most common mystic treasures used among cultivators.

  Jiang He felt a little thrilled then.

  This way, he could wield seven demi-immortal flying swords and three inferior-grade flying swords to set up his Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity. Hence, its power would be more than double from what Jiang He could release from before and definitely reach the level of Heavenly Immortals—and not at the novice level at that.

  “Jin Sidao had claimed that only immortals could kill immortals, but I wouldn’t agree.”


  “If I subtly fire my Twenty-Three Swords technique at a Heavenly Immortal, I would maim their Yuan Spirit instantly even if I can’t cut it down. However, I could release the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity directly at almost the same time, and I would not believe I would fail to kill my opponent!”


  Picking seven of the demi-immortal flying swords, Jiang He invoked them before throwing every other mystic treasure into Void Storage.

  His eyes then turned to look at a corner of the farm.

  There was a grave sitting there, with a single massive morning glory growing out of it.

  The flower was closed, though the insides were brimming with something unknown.

  “That grave…… was that where the immortal daemon’s body had been buried?”


  Jiang He’s eyes lit up.

  Had the six-tailed daemon fox’s corpse become ripe?

  Still, Jiang He could not see what was growing inside the flower, and he must pluck it to find out for himself.

  He hence walked up and firmly plucked the two-meter-tall morning glory.

  [Ding!]

  [+20 million Farm Points.]

  Jiang He was rendered speechless.

  The System Notification in his head left him dumbstruck, and he only came to his senses after a dozen seconds, exclaiming in shock, “What could be inside this morning glory? It’s more valuable than the Nine Skies Palace!”


  He reached out, and was about to pry apart the enclosed petals when……

  Whoosh.

  The petals opened on their own, and veins of immortal radiance shone from within.

  A voluptuous figure dressed in a multicolored, half-see-through dress then descended and curtseyed at Jiang He, saying charmingly, “Mister……”


  At the same time, nine furry tails gently swayed behind her, adding more degrees of charm to her beauty.

  “.……”


  What the hell!

  Jiang He’s eyes widened and he found his mind blanking out just then……

  Was that cosplay?

  No way!

  It was a nine-tailed fox!
