Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm - Chapter 257
Chapter 257: Unserious Immortal Physique Cultivation
In truth, Wang Hou was inwardly resistant to the idea of Amoxicillin capsules.
After all, he knew his own injury better than anyone.
It was no big deal for a Void-tier elite to have a hole in his belly, but the problem was the Sword Will and Demonic Qi that the Sky Demon Cult’s Saint left upon his wounds. Even so, he just had to remain in confinement to recover around ten days to half a month and grind that off with his own Yuan Qi.
Hence, he stammered for quite a while, simply unwilling to take the medicine.
Jiang He lifted a brow at that, and asked, “Could you be afraid of taking medicine, Minister Wang?”
Wang Hou sneered inwardly. Are you goading me now?
Sure, that works on children, but what use was that against him?
“Jiang He, I really can’t take that medicine. Moreover, the Amoxicillin capsule is anti-inflammatory, which helps with easing nose infection… Eh?”
Wang Hou’s expression changed before he finished.
He could clearly feel that beneath the band-aid that was so huge it almost looked like a certain necessity for women, his wounds were rapidly healing.
Soon…
Wang Hou took off one of the band-aids, and the once-gruesome wound had already healed, leaving not even the faintest of scars.
He was baffled.
As he lifted his gaze to Jiang He, there was a blank look on his face.
But in the very next instant…
Pop!
The wound that healed just now split apart again.
“Well now…” Jiang He shook his head and scolded. “How old are you, Minister Wang? Still grumbling and complaining like a three-year-old just over medicine?”
“Look, the Sword Qi and Demonic Qi on your body have yet to fade, and only your wounds are healed. Now, healing the symptoms and not the cause blew up the wound that just recovered, no thanks to that burst of Sword Qi.”
Jiang He hence took out two Amoxicillin capsules and handed them to Wang Hou.
Wang Hou accepted the capsules stiffly, rearing his head and ate them.
Though he wanted to remind Wang Hou to wash the capsules down with warm water, Jiang He decided to say nothing. It was normal—some people were born having a hard time swallowing pills, while others like Wang Hou did not even need water to wash it down.
With that, Jiang He picked up the band-aid Wang Hou tore off and stick it on Wang Hou again, before saying, “Alright, Minister Wang, it’s almost sunrise. Take your time to recover—I’m off to get a place to sleep.”
“There are guest rooms here in the Martial Arts Department (MAD),” Wang Hou offered then. “I’ll have Deputy Zhou make the arrangements.”
“No need, no need. There’s a hotel outside, I could just get a room.”
Leaving the MAD, Jiang He got a room in a hotel, and bathed first right after he arrived at his room.
Then, he lay on his bed, but had a hard time going to sleep.
Outside, the colors of the night were slowly fading, and the sun was already rising, but Jiang He still felt no drowsiness at all.
Sitting up on his bed, he laughed begrudgingly.
“Old habits die hard. I don’t feel sleepy at all even though I didn’t sleep for an entire night.”
“I must be worried subconsciously that the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult and the Dragoncroc Emperor are plotting to kill me, which degrades my sleep.”
Sitting on the edge of his bed, Jiang He’s expression turned somber.
That was such a serious problem!
And it must be resolved as soon as possible, or every night would end up like this. In time, the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult and the Dragoncroc Emperor would not even have to do a thing to leave him with sleepless nights and constant paranoia, wearing out his spirit soon enough.
“The most direct and simplest measure to break the pact between the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult and the Dragoncroc Emperor is to kill them all… even so, my ability is limited, and as I am right now, I could kill one of them at best!”
Jiang He decided to make an effort to improve his ability.
He turned towards his System Panel.
[Name: Jiang He]
[Cultivation: Immortal Path—complete Golden Pellet; Martial Arts—divine-tier (divine conversion)]
[Ability: Royal Sword, fire]
[Martial Arts Cultivation: Indestructible Diamond (Mastery+), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Mastery+), Blind Princess’s Eight Practices (Third Practice+), Strengthened Nine Yang Technique (Eighth Tier+), Ninefold Thunderblade (Seventh Fold+), Dragon-Elephant Prajna (Fifteenth Tier+), Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula (Second Tier+), Three Thousand Calamities (Second Style+), Twenty-Three Swords (First Style+)]
[Owned Land: 9 Mu]
[Farm Level: 5 (EXP 15000/500000)]
[System Backpack: 24 boxes]
[System Shop: Unlocked]
[Farm Points: 2,400,000]
After his farm reached level 5, the System Backpack had expanded from 18 boxes to 24 boxes and his farm area increased from 3 Mu to 9Mu. Even so, the EXP needed to reach the next level was rather outrageous, since it shot up directly from fifty thousand to five hundred thousand.
After grumbling for a bit, Jiang He turned towards [Farm Points].
2.4 million Farm Points were not scarce, but it was not a lot either.
Nonetheless, the second style of the Three Thousand Calamities cost him five hundred thousand Farm Points to level, and as for the third style…
Jiang He tested things out, and found out that he needed 5 million Farm Points for that, which meant ten-times the increase in cost. Still, he decided that it made sense after some thought…
After all, cultivation gets harder the more one progressed.
Furthermore, once he reached the Third Style of Three Thousand Calamities, he would promptly ascend as a complete True Child cultivator, which meant that his combat ability would improve beyond ten times. Was it not reasonable that the Farm Points cost increased by ten times?
Hence, Jiang He had to turn towards the Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula.
To tell the truth, being a sword cultivator, Jiang He preferred cultivating various sword techniques and sword arrays…
“Still, physical improvement has its perks too.”
“If I cultivated up to the Third Tier of the Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula, my physical durability and strength would increase greatly, and pummel a Void-tier like Wang Hou to death with only physical power. I could also stand still and let Wang Hou attack me however he liked, and he would still fail to harm me.”
Helpless, Jiang He could only convince himself with that reasoning.
[Ding!]
[-2,000,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have Mastery over the Third Tier of the Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula.]
Boom!
The sound of a tsunami echoed within Jiang He’s body.
Bang!
His heart pounded like thunder.
Jiang He’s muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and even… certain parts were rapidly metamorphizing and strengthening, though he could not help scowling worriedly.
“Isn’t the Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula a little unserious?”
“I’m already very strong in that respect, and If I get any stronger… I would probably have to get over a dozen wives.”
Oh!
Jiang He breathed a long sigh and grumbled a little, but soon conveyed great understanding.
In the end, the Nine Stars Heavenly Body Formula was an immortal physique cultivation that improved every aspect of the body. If that part was not strengthened, would it not become a weak point?
It was a very common plot in martial art movies: A final boss who underwent stress training to become physically peerless and impervious to all weapons would be making the main characters, minor characters and other heroes of justice crying for their daddy… until eventually the female protagonist suddenly dies and the main character unleashes his potential, striking the boss in his ‘weak point’ and thus gaining victory…
And Jiang He did not want such a nonsensical plot happening to himself.
“Right now, my physique could match True Child-tier cultivators, but that is far from enough…”
Jiang He then entered his farm, and took out the Autumn Water Sword as well as a dozen Doom Shrooms.
He knew very well that the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult would be a tough cookie.
That buster’s ability would definitely be superior to Wang Hou, just as they were very mysterious and possess certain unknown moves. Likewise, the Dragoncroc Emperor was no weakling, and according to Wang Hou’s theory, it might have some ‘old antique’ daemon backing it.
It might have gained daemonic cultivation too.
That was why Jiang He could not afford to be careless, and must improve his combat ability to the maximum potential available to him right now!
“If my hunch is right, the Autumn Water Sword must be a flying sword with the water attribute, although there is no telling what grade it is… And once I successfully plant it, I could cultivate the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array.”
“As for the Doom Shrooms…”
“Those could be used as an AoE attack, since Three Thousand Calamities is my only AoE attack at the moment and rather lacking.”
Of course…
Could he really use the Doom Shrooms as an AoE attack after strengthening it?
After all, what use was it when its explosive yield was merely several thousand tons?
It would not even match a casual punch of his.
Shouldn’t it at least have a few hundred-thousand-ton yield to be deserving of its name, Doom Shroom?
