Chapter 475: I Really Envy How You Create G.o.dly Martial Art Techniques!
Jiang He then sat on the ground of this own yard.
Around him, the various G.o.dly wonders were flickering endlessly, and he looked like he had seen a ghost, even exclaiming, “How could this be?”
w.a.n.g Hou’s heart pounded. Believing that there was a problem with the cultivation method that Jiang He had developed, he quickly asked, “Is something wrong?”
Jiang He replied seriously, “It’s a little different from what I’ve imagined...
He flicked his fingers and Sword Qi erupted from his fingertips. Then, he chopped with his hand, and an air blade slashed into the clouds, tearing them apart. After that, thunderbolts sparked upon the skies as he pointed nonchalantly with his finger.
“According to the cultivation manual I’d developed, martial artists who cultivate to Yin-Yang tier would gain one G.o.dly martial art move as a foundation when they first ascend, while the others need to be cultivated on their own. So why am I gaining so many G.o.dly moves after I ascend up to Yin-Yang?
“Right now, there are nine G.o.dly techniques... no, wait, ten!”
“Oh, it’s eleven now...”
A vein bulged over w.a.n.g Hou’s head and he glared at Jiang He through clenched teeth.
Jiang He flicked his fingers again, sending the jade charm imprinted with the Martial Scripture to w.a.n.g Hou and said, “Minister w.a.n.g, here are the cultivation methods for the fourteen tiers in Martial Scripture. Take a look.”
Kaboom!
As he spoke, his aura quaked as yet another G.o.dly technique was ‘sp.a.w.ned’.
Watching as w.a.n.g Hou focused on studying the Martial Scripture, Jiang He asked, “By the way, Minister w.a.n.g, look at the twelfth-tier... I named it Grotto-Heaven, and once cultivated, a martial artist would be slightly superior than Golden Immortals of the same tier, and would gain the endless energy from a grotto-heaven, with stronger endurance and explosiveness than Golden Immortals of the same tier... huh!”
“Sorry, I grasped another G.o.dly martial technique!”
“Fine, we’ll continue... are you still far from reaching Grotto-Heaven at the moment?”
w.a.n.g Hou pondered.
After a long while, he said, “The path of martial arts I pioneered does not share the same system as your Martial Scripture. I mainly cultivate my Martial Dao Yuan Spirit, and its strength buffs me in a fight to improve my combat ability... still, it could be used as a reference.”
w.a.n.g Hou’s eyes flashed.
He had been lost in his own path of martial arts. Now that he had some ideas, he calmed himself down and started to cultivate the Martial Scripture.
Being a Paragon martial artist in the first place, and since the first few tiers of the Martial Scripture were not too different from the physique cultivation portion of earlier martial arts, he cultivated up to Yin-Yang tier in just half an hour.
Ooom!
His body twitched, and many golden palms materialized around him.
Clearly, w.a.n.g Hou had grasped a palm-typed G.o.dly technique after reaching Yin-Yang tier.
And soon...
He withdrew his aura, and after a long while, more wonders flashed upon his body.
Jiang He was stunned. The unique manifestation of the G.o.dly arts on his body flickered endlessly even as he asked, “Minister w.a.n.g, had you grasped another new G.o.dly martial art? It seems that this cultivation manual is different from what I had in mind when I developed it... could it be that martial artist would automatically sp.a.w.n G.o.dly martial arts after reaching the Yin-Yang tier?”
“It’s the second G.o.dly martial art. I just created it myself,” w.a.n.g Hou replied.
Jiang He leveled a look of envy at him and muttered, “I really envy how you could develop new G.o.dly martial arts with your own skills, while I’m being pushed around like an idiot!”
w.a.n.g Hou simply said nothing, and instead closed his eyes in a meditation pose to begin creating more G.o.dly martial arts.
Having cultivated to his level, his understanding toward martial arts reached to the essence of the Dao itself, and creating a G.o.dly martial art was all too easy.
As for Jiang He...
Though at first he was also seated in a meditating pose as well, he soon noticed that... he could do other stuff, but it would not hamper his ‘pa.s.sive’ grasping of new G.o.dly martial arts...
As such, he returned to his farm and started plucking immortal crystals.
The immortal crystals trees formed a dense canopy that covered almost all of the farm...
As for the other portions of the forest where the purple bamboo forest, mansion and artificial lake occupied some of the area, the remaining immortal crystals were either unripe, or were still being planted diligently by Dumbo, Trumbo, and the others.
Jiang He directed his overflowing Immortal Yuan Strength which surged out, a.s.suming a thread form as it gusted toward the many immortal crystal trees.
[Ding!]
[+1 Farm Point.]
[Ding...]
d.a.m.n it!
Jiang He could not help cursing with a scowl. “One Farm Point for one immortal crystal? This is too horrible...”
Before his farm leveled up, one immortal crystal earned him 100 Farm Points.
Now, however, it only earned 1 Farm Point.
Still, it was a good thing.
With the Farm having expanded countless times now, it would no longer take half a month if he had to plant a million Immortal Crystals.
Meanwhile, the threads that the Immortal Yuan Strength had harvested the immortal crystals with relative ease, with a single gust knocking the one hundred immortal crystals off each tree. Since Jiang He was controlling over a thousand of those threads at the same time, he was making rapid progress.
He ignored the immortal crystals that dropped on the ground, however, since those were merely tools with which he earned Farm Points.
Wait, that was not true...
Before being planted, the immortal crystals were actually tools with which he earned Farm Points and useful for Jiang He, but after they were planted... they were just a number.
In just half an hour, Jiang He had plucked every ripe immortal crystal.
He turned to his System panel and quietly made inventory...
“One immortal crystal is one Farm Point, and each tree has a hundred immortal crystals, which means a hundred Farm Points. I’ve harvested from a million immortal crystal trees, which bring a hundred million Farm Points... as such, I could still earn two hundred million Farm Points with the remaining two million immortal crystals I have left.”
“As for the immortal crystals...”
“One tree is a hundred immortal crystals, and a million immortal crystal trees means I’ve harvested a hundred million immortal crystals now.”
A hundred million immortal crystals...
One must note that the typical Golden Immortal only possessed around several hundred thousand immortal crystals.
Even top Immortal Crystals such as Lü Dongbin only had several million immortal crystals.
“What a shame. I don’t have much use for these immortal crystals even if have them.”
Jiang He sighed and left the farm.
In that half an hour, he had ‘learned’ another twenty-eight G.o.dly martial arts, making it a total of fifty-eight. At the same time, the ‘pa.s.sive’ learning of new techniques was not slowing down.
Ooom!
Just as Jiang He stepped out of his farm, another unique phenomenon from a new G.o.dly martial art appeared and disappeared in a flash.
“Oh?”
“Another G.o.dly martial arts related to thunder... since it’s a fist-style, let’s call it ThunderG.o.d Fists... Huh? A kicking-style related to thunder? Thunderwind Kick it is!”
Jiang He turned toward w.a.n.g Hou, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, his eyes closed as he developed new G.o.dly martial arts.
He could create new G.o.dly martial arts every ten minutes or so, which left Jiang He with a fiery gaze and beside himself with envy. “Minister w.a.n.g’s talent is truly devilish... a dozen minutes, and another G.o.dly martial art created. I truly concede to the superiority of this talent!”
“I’ve learned another new G.o.dly martial art technique?”
“A blade technique?”
“Combining thunder and fire, a blade slash that reaches up to a kilometer?”
“Oh... how did I learn another sword technique too?”
On the other hand, as w.a.n.g Hou looked at Jiang He and then himself, he could not help looking as if he could die right there... forget ‘pa.s.sive learning’—Jiang He was learning new G.o.dly techniques in a matter of three to five minutes without waiting for him!
“Come to think of it, we are both cultivating according to the Martial Scripture, but why would w.a.n.g Hou need to create new G.o.dly arts on his own while I learn things pa.s.sively?”
Jiang He mused to himself.
Could it be because he was the creator of Martial Scripture?
That clearly did not make sense.
“Perhaps it’s because I cultivated up to Yin-Yang tier using the System, and not by my own ability...”
