Chapter 1797: Boss Su
Even without using any blood qi, Su Zimo’s current Green Lotus True Body was much stronger than any inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure!
In his hands, that inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure was like a soft mud that could be kneaded casually.
Su Zimo weighed the black iron ball in his hands and looked at Duan Tianliang playfully with a faint smile on his face.
Su Zimo was smiling.
However, Duan Tianliang was about to cry.
He had not expected that a country b.u.mpkin who had just ascended and knew nothing would be such a ruthless character!
If that person wanted to kill him, it would be as simple as killing a chick!
Even Grade 3 or 4 Black Immortals might not possess the strength to accomplish what he had just done.
“Boss Su, I was wrong!”
With a thud, Duan Tianliang knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
No matter which world one was in, the path of cultivation was heaven-defying and filled with danger.
The reason why he was able to cultivate to this point and ascend to the upper world was because he was adaptable to the situation. To him, dignity was merely a worldly possession.
Survival was the most important thing!
In his life, he knelt to countless people and was trampled by countless people. However, in the end, he was the one who laughed till the end and ascended to the upper world.
“Boss Su, I was blind to not know your methods,”
Duan Tianliang slapped himself fiercely. “I truly don’t know my place. To think that I would dare to show off my skills in front of someone like you.”
“You are the resplendent stars in the night sky and the bright full moon. Compared to you, my methods are merely like the light of a firefly!”
Duan Tianliang blurted out those flattering words without thinking, as though he had said them countless times.
Su Zimo was unmoved with an indifferent expression.
Anyone who could ascend to the upper world would be a peerless paragon of the lower world even if they had only pa.s.sed through the One of Nine Heavenly Tribulation—how could they submit so easily?
Su Zimo’s gaze was deep as he said coldly, “You had better not play any tricks. If I find out, I’ll knead you like it!”
He pointed to the black iron ball in his hands.
Duan Tianliang shuddered in fear.
Initially, he had other thoughts and was prepared to escape from this place first before making further plans.
But now, Duan Tianliang was truly afraid when he heard that!
“Boss Su, you must be joking. How is that possible?!”
Duan Tianliang said hurriedly, “From now on, I’ll follow your lead. If you want me to head east, I’ll definitely not head west!”
“Sure,”
Su Zimo nodded. “Help me farm the 13 Mu of spirit fields outside.”
Duan Tianliang’s expression froze.
Ever since he broke through to the Level 2 Black Essence realm and became a steward, he had never gone to farm personally.
“Why? You’re unwilling?”
Su Zimo raised his brow.
“Of course not!”
Duan Tianliang shuddered and blurted, “I’m more than willing! I should be the one to do something like farming! It’s a supreme honor to be able to gain your trust, Boss Su!”
“Alright, don’t disturb me during this period of time if there’s nothing important,”
Su Zimo said indifferently and threw the black iron ball in his hands to Duan Tianliang.
Duan Tianliang received it with a pained expression.
A perfectly fine inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure had now turned into a huge iron egg.
“You may leave,”
Su Zimo waved his sleeves gently and returned to the bamboo bed.
Duan Tianliang felt as though he was pardoned. As he retreated, he mumbled, “My ancestors have blessed me to be able to farm for Boss Su. It’s truly a blessing of three lifetimes. I have no regrets in life…”
Before long, Duan Tianliang left Su Zimo’s straw hut and closed the door gently.
The flattery on his face vanished instantly and his gaze darkened.
Duan Tianliang glared at the door with a dark expression.
A moment later, Duan Tianliang closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning to leave.
He was still indignant!
However, the situation was pressing and he intended to endure it for the time being and look for another opportunity.
Duan Tianliang arrived at the destroyed spirit field and grit his teeth. Bending down, he stuck out his b.u.t.t and started planting.
At that moment, it was already noon.
Many medicinal farmers of Snow Wind Ridge had already woken up and headed to the spirit fields under their jurisdiction to check.
Some of them conjured rain while others removed weeds.
“Eh? Isn’t that Fatty Duan?”
“Strange, that spirit field should be planted by the new arrival, Brother Su. Why is Fatty Duan planting it personally?”
All the medicinal farmers who saw that were amazed.
News of this spread one after another. Before long, all the nearby medicinal farmers heard about it and came over to watch the show.
“Steward Duan, why are you farming personally? This spirit field should belong to Brother Su?”
Another steward of Snow Wind Ridge could not help but ask.
Duan Tianliang looked at Su Zimo’s straw hut with resentment.
In front of Su Zimo, he was extremely obedient. However, in front of others, he did not want to admit it out of respect.
Duan Tianliang coughed gently. “This new buddy is severely injured after all and can’t move freely. n.o.body knows how long it’ll take for him to recover.”
“We’re all family in Snow Wind Ridge. As a steward of Snow Wind Ridge, it’s only right for me to help him plant it in advance.”
“Officially, the earlier we plant the two immortal herbs, the earlier their ripen. It’s a good thing for Snow Wind Ridge and all of us!”
Duan Tianliang’s words were emotional and righteous.
However, those words sounded a little strange coming from him.
“Did Fatty Duan take the wrong medicine?”
“Did he have a stroke? To think that he would suddenly be so kind.”
Many medicinal farmers whispered.
“Something isn’t right!”
Right then, Old Yan rushed over. “I just returned from Brother Su’s place yesterday. His injuries had already healed after he consumed the elixirs of the mistress!”
“F*ck…”
Duan Tianliang cursed internally and wished that he could stuff the Thousand Ton Ball in his storage bag into Old Yan’s mouth!
“Brother Su has only recovered from his external injuries. However, his internal injuries will still require some time to recover,”
Duan Tianliang braced himself and explained.
“Old Duan,”
Another steward walked forward and said, “Let me take a look at that Thousand Ton Brick of yours again. I’ve saved some Essence Condensation Pills this time round and I’m prepared to exchange for an inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure as well.”
“Get lost!”
At the mention of that, Old Duan’s expression darkened as he cursed.
The steward was dumbfounded.
Duan Tianliang looked at the crowd with a terrible expression and hollered, “Disperse, disperse! What are you guys looking at? Don’t you have to take care of your own spirit fields?!”
Many medicinal farmers shook their heads and dispersed.
The steward had a lost expression and did not know why he was snubbed.
If it was any other time, Fatty Duan would have proudly taken out that treasure to show off in front of everyone.
Su Zimo sat in the straw hut.
The Green Lotus True Body’s hearing was shocking and he heard everything Duan Tianliang said in the spirit field clearly.
However, he did not expose the latter.
As long as Duan Tianliang did not play any tricks, Su Zimo did not care at all.
Right now, the most important thing for him was to recover his cultivation as soon as possible.
