Chapter 410: Twenty-One Billion, Eight Hundred and Forty-Six Million

Collecting his thoughts, Jiang He turned to look at the immortal crystal trees up ahead.

These trees were not too different from spirit stone trees in appearance, though these were taller as they stood around four meters. The tree crowns of the immortal crystal trees were a little bigger as well, not to mention that the tree was entirely crystalline, with the trunk, branches, and even leaves being half-transparent like jades.

Immortal crystals dangled from the tree.

Under the illumination of the sun in the farm, the tree was shining in pale immortal radiance attractively.

Jiang He reached out to pluck one immortal crystal then.

[Ding!]

[+10,000 Farm Points.]

The crisp jingle of a System Notification left Jiang He flinching.

“Ten thousand Farm Points… doesn’t that mean each immortal crystal tree earns me a million Farm Points? And I have planted a total of twenty thousand immortal crystals… doesn’t that mean I would earn over twenty billion Farm Points?”

He could improve his proficiency on the Scripture of Chaos Thundersword with 20 million Farm Points, hence reaching novice and full-fledged True Immortal, increasing his combat ability significantly. He could even stand a chance against Golden Immortals then.

Most importantly…

Having the experience of the 1:1.5 exchange scheme for spirit stones, Jiang He quickly thought of another idea involving making money with money.

The immortals returning from the celestial battlefield would most definitely have a lot of immortal crystals. If he exchanged the immortal crystals that he had planted with theirs and planted them…

Did that not mean Golden Immortal was within reach?

“Right now, my cultivation techniques, sword skills, and physique are plenty powerful, but my mystic treasures are lacking.”

As Jiang He continued plucking immortal crystals, he thought to himself, “Against the Mahayana cultivators, a single inferior-grade immortal item is enough to overwhelm all of them. However, the opponents who are already making their way toward me are True Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Grand Luo. The mystic treasures they wield are at least mediocre-grade immortal items and go up to acquired soul treasures—if I unsheathe the Mosquito Cutter, an inferior-grade immortal sword against them, I would be immediately disadvantaged in terms of weapons.”

Since he was idle while plucking the immortal crystals, Jiang He drew out a golden immortal sword with a flip of his palm.

He had found it from Unknown Fox’s body, and according to Unknown Fox himself, it was a premium-grade immortal weapon. In fact, Unknown Fox had only redeemed it after claiming military accomplishments in the dozens of battles of various scales that he fought over a thousand years on the celestial battlefield, as well as accumulating much personal wealth.

Of course, it now belonged to Jiang He.

“I would plant this sword for now, since plucking the immortal crystals could wait… this stuff grows very slowly, and would only take as long as two days to be ripe… oh, and there’s the Ancient Bronze Bell too.”

Jiang He took out the Ancient Bronze Bell with a flip of his palm.

It was an acquired soul treasure with incredible defense capacity, and its effect would definitely become better if he planted it to strengthen it.

Moreover, Jiang He also had another superior-grade immortal item, four mediocre-grade immortal items, and a dozen of inferior-grade immortal items, as well as some immortal pellets, immortal talismans, and several immortal cultivation techniques. Counting in the twenty thousand immortal crystals, such was his gains after slaying one True Immortal and seven Heavenly Immortals belonging to the clan of Green Hill Foxes.

Ignoring all else, Jiang He planting everything aside from the immortal cultivation manuals, even sprinkling several packs of Living Soil of the Nine Heavens on the Ancient Bronze Bell, the premium-grade immortal sword, another mediocre- grade immortal sword, and a set of mediocre-grade immortal armor.

It was only when everything was done that Jiang He contentedly plucked the immortal crystals.

[Ding!]

[+10,000 Farm Points.]

[Ding!]

[+10,000 Farm Points.]

[Ding…]

As System Notifications began to jingle incessantly in Jiang He’s mind, he immediately muted it, having many an experience in earning loads of Farm Points… there were too many immortal crystals after all, and he would lose his mind if the notifications jingled for each immortal crystal he plucked.

That being said, with his farm being just 100 Mu, while his mansion, purple bamboo forest, manmade lake, and other decorations occupied almost 40 Mu, only 60 Mu was left—there was no way Jiang He could plant all 18,000 immortal crystals in a single stroke.

He hence divided them into five batches.

Counting in the plucking, each batch would take around three hours to harvest.

The sun and the moon of the farm swapped places then, though Jiang He was still diligently planting immortal crystals even if it was night time.

He had brought both Sora and Boa Hancock when he brought the farm. When he was not planting immortal crystals, he would be eating steaming hot Dragoontooth Rice, as well as play fight the landlord with both maids while waiting for the immortal crystals to ripen.

“What a shame.”

Jiang He sighed. “I should have brought the seven Fairy Maidens. How nice would it be for them to dance and play some music, or feed me grapes when I play cards?”

Soon, another batch of immortal crystals was ripe.

Jiang He put down his cards, got up and smile, “Alright, I’ll got take care of business. I’ll play with you two until daylight when everything is done.”

Both Boa and Sora blushed, and said cutely together, “You’re so naughty, Master.”

Jiang He was speechless.

Naughty, my foot!

I only want to play fight the landlord with you two!

***

Meanwhile, outside, Jin Sidao and the other Mahayana cultivators were sitting crossed legged in meditation on an asteroid fragment around fifty kilometers long.

The asteroid fragment was bound by their profound mystic energy and anchored in space.

On the other end of the asteroid fragment, Unknown Fox was sitting crossed legged. The spirit stones in front of him was blowing up one after another, and his immortal form was getting more solid by the moment, while his aura recovered.

Soon, the large pile of spirit stones was used up, and Unknown Fox opened his eyes, rising to his feet.

Hu Mei walked up to him and asked, “How’s your recovery going?”

“I have not recovered my peak form, but I would at least be a match against an advanced True Immortal. Still, my spiritual injury needs slow adjusting, though I could still help our lord stop an average True Immortal once the fighting starts.”

“Trash!”

Hu Mei sneered. “How much would stopping an average True Immortal affect the scales of a battle?”

Unknown Fox was between laughter and tears, a feeble look filling his face.

I am hurt!

Most importantly, all my immortal crystals, mystic talismans and immortal talismans have all been confiscated—it’s already incredible that I could stop an average True Immortal!

***

Meanwhile, a group of immortals had arrived on a planet neighboring the Milky Way.

Only one True Immortal and five Heavenly Immortals among the ranks of the Green Hill Foxes had returned. The other True Immortal had led two other Heavenly Immortals travel post-haste back to the celestial battlefield.

It was a tremendous humiliation for the Green Hill clan: their legacy on the homeworld destroyed, their clan elder killed, over dozens of disciples dying in outer space, as well as having the Primordial Bell stolen by that wretch. That was why he must return at once to report the news to the higher-ups.

As for the one True Immortal and five Heavenly Immortal Foxes that returned, each of them appeared gloomy.

Being a fellow daemon cultivator, one of the Scale Dragons —a Heavenly Immortal—could not bear to look, and spoke out to console them, “Do not grief, fellow brothers. What if your fellow clan folk were not killed and merely destroyed physically, leaving only a soul fragment?”

That scale dragon had thick brows and wide eyes, with an expression of being simple-minded and earnest. “I know your secret bloodline technique, and that it naturally can’t sense anything if a thin fragment of a soul was left after the immortal form is destroyed.”

The immortal foxes all promptly turned towards him with angry glares at that.

As if in response, the lips on the Golden Immortal Scale Dragon twitched, and he turned towards the True Immortal Scale Dragon, who was the thirty-seventh son of his eldest brother.

He was the most gifted even among his thirty-six brothers and forty-seven sisters, having reached Heavenly Immortal after only five hundred years of cultivation. The only problem was that he proved lacking in intelligence, having no filter for words and even provoking a Grand Luo before. Still, since the Scale Dragons clan was quite strong, said Grand Luo only dished out a symbolic punishment.

“Draco Three Seven, back off.”

The Golden Immortal Scale Dragon chided.

Draco Three Seven was that Heavenly Immortal Scale Dragon’s name, since he was the thirty-seventh male in the family.

On the other hand, one of the Penglai Sect’s True Immortals laughed coolly but said nothing.

The Penglai Sect had always been at odds with the foxes, which was why it was already incredible that he did not dish out a few insults to rub salt into their wounds.

The True Immortal Fox glowered and barked furiously, “What could you be laughing about, Brother?”

“You know very well what I’m laughing about.”

The Penglai Sect True Immortal flatly replied. “You foxes had ran off so quickly, perhaps thinking that you could secure an early advantage to spread your teachings on the homeworld, recruiting more disciples and claiming more providence… such a shame that your luck did not hold out.”

The Immortal Fox became even more furious, and seethed with red eyes, “Dongli, do not be so smug. Even if the Green Hill Foxes’ legacy on the homeworld is completely lost, how would you know that the Penglai Sect is fine?”

“Hmph.”

“The Green Hill Foxes had left a much stronger legacy on the homeworld than the Penglai Sect!”

The True Immortal named Donglai was enraged at that, while the other disciples of the Penglai Sect stared daggers at the other Immortal Foxes as well. Even the Golden Immortal of Penglai Sect coolly warned, “Could it be that you foxes have a death wish?”

The Golden Immortal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect promptly came to calm things down, saying, “Stop arguing, everyone. The warp portal would soon activate, and we would journey across the stars after we have teleported to Mars, soon returning to the homeworld. No one would care if you blow each other’s brains out over there, but you would delay everyone’s journey if you break the portal here.”

The Penglai Sect’s Golden Immortal turned toward him with a scowl, but the warp portal started shining just then, and the Golden Immortal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect strode forth and entered it.

“Move!”

The Penglai Sect’s Golden immortal snorted coolly and entered the portal as well.

“After becoming immortal for more than a month, I could finally ascend to True Immortal!”
