Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm
Chapter 329: What If Sufferance Took Too Long?

Chapter 329: What If Sufferance Took Too Long?

It was only after half an hour that Jiang He finished making an inventory of and grouping his spoils.

He was feeling thrilled at the moment and only had one word to describe his pickings these times— huge!

“43,000 inferior-grade sage spirit stones, 4,100 mediocre-grade spirit stones, and 380 superior-grade spirit stones. Thirty-eight soul items of every grade, eight of which are armors and four of which are special mystic treasures, while the rest are all weapons such as swords, blades, and lances.”

“Six inferior-grade sage items.”

“Three mediocre-grade sage items.”

“Two superior-grade sage items.”

“A number of medicinal pellets, paper talismans, and cultivation manuals...”

The inferior-grade spirit stones mostly belonged to the Yuan Spirit cultivators and they did not even have many mediocre-grade spirit stones with them, just around a hundred between them. However, what stunned Jiang He the most was that though the Scarlet Sun Daoist of the Penglai Sect looked the poorest among them, he was actually the richest.

He actually had over 2,000 mediocre-grade spirit stones and 200 superior-grade spirit stones!

Moreover, his mystic item was a superior-grade sage item that had a unique shape and resembled the semi-circular blades belonging to Cordo, a Sky Demon Cultist whom Jiang He had killed.

Aside from those, the Scarlet Sun Daoist had a mediocre-grade armor and over a dozen soul items.

On the other hand, Hong Shanze’s bottle gourd was a superior-grade sage item.

And inside the bottle gourd were two inferior-grade sage-tier flying swords and one mediocre-grade sage-tier flying sword.

Though Jiang He had gathered many medicinal pellets as well, he had no idea what most of them were aside from the spirit condensation pellets, leaving him a little baffled... Why would a great master of pellet-refining like himself fail to identify the medicinal pellets?

Could the ‘Jiang-Style Pellet Refinement’ be flawed?

***

It was noon right now.

There was a mansion with a kitchen inside his farm.

Sora and Boa Hanc.o.c.k had cooked lunch. After eating, Jiang He started his grand undertaking of planting.

There was a total of 43,000 spirits stones and even without the inferior-grade sage spirit stones there were 4,100 left. Digging holes for each stone was just too troublesome.

Hence...

Jiang He sprinkled the spirit stones over his farm like he did when he planted rice.

After that, Dumbo casted his earth-type powers, causing the farm soil to churn and bury every spirit stone.

“I’ll plant the mystic treasures and medicinal pellets in this style as well...”

Going about it like clockwork, Jiang He planted every mystic treasure and medicinal pellet.

There were just a dozen paper talismans left in the end, but surprising, six of them were thunder talismans and Jiang He found them from the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

“Could there be a master adept at refining thunder talismans at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”

“If that’s true, I’ll catch him and have him make thunder talismans for me without end... When the time comes, there would be waves of thunderbolts descending from above as I throw the thunder talismans by the dozens. That would absolutely be more powerful than the Doom Shrooms!”

After all, that thing was much more useful than Doom Shrooms.

In the end, Doom Shrooms were only effective within enclosed environments such as the Stargate, because elites could instantly evade them otherwise. Any Convergence-tier could accelerate in a split second to make themselves scarce from the center of the explosion, and not even five hundred Doom Shrooms thrown at once could blow them to death if they had sage-items protecting themselves.

However, the Five Thunder Talisman was different.

Thanks to his experiment, he found out that the five thunderbolts overhead seemed to have auto-aim as the first thunderbolt struck Zhong Wanshan squarely. After that, the second and third bolts struck Hong Shanze and the Scarlet Sun Daoist.

As for the fourth and fifth... those were basically stray bolts.

With the other targets killed, surely it would not strike Jiang He, would it?

Of course, the most important part was that he stayed immune from the Five Thunder Talisman by crouching and clutching his head.

“What a shame that the Five Thunder Talisman is different from the Doom Shrooms and its effect would not stack. Otherwise, the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or whatnot would be reduced to dust after I throw out several hundred of those talismans!”

Jiang He could feel that his perspective and mindset broadening.

If these thunder talismans only released the full-power strike of a full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivator, would there be stronger thunder talismans?

For example, one that would directly blow up Convergence-tier, Sufferance-tier, or even Mahayana-tier cultivators...

“There has to be a paper talisman with that power, though it would be incredibly rare even if there are. Perhaps I really should capture that master of paper talismans at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who is adept at thunder talismans... Or I could create a method to refine paper talismans myself.”

Since the spirit stones, mystic treasures, medicinal pellets and paper talismans were just planted, it would take at least two hours to harvest them.

Jiang He then left his farm in a flash.

In the end, his chief purpose of going overseas was to capture a Feral King, and he did not even get one until now.

And yet, once he left the farm, he sensed the ‘message’ left on his jade charm.

He took out it out to find it flas.h.i.+ng several times and thereafter, a message surged into his mind’s eye.

“I have very bad news, Jiang He.”

“After you killed Zhong Wanshan, Hong Shanze, the Scarlet Sun Daoist, and the other cultivators, their sects are shaking with rage and have sent Sufferance-tier elites after your head.”

“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has sent the Thousand Sword Daoist, who has suffered through six retributions.”

“On the other hand, the Penglai Sect has sent the True Habitant of Forgotten Love, who is the former chieftain of the Penglai Sect and a powerful cultivator who has suffered through seven retributions.”

“I’ll try to find out about their techniques, mystic treasures, and methods. I’ll contact you later.”

Jiang He was surprised.

The communications jade charm had a messaging function too?

“Interesting, it’s a function that could match mobile phones. That said, what principle does this jade charm work on?”

Nonetheless, Jiang He soon stopped thinking about it and his gaze became somber.

The Thousand Sword Daoist?

The True Habitant of Forgotten Love?

Elite cultivators who had suffered through six and seven retributions?

“Aren’t the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect too ruthless and not playing their cards logically? I’ve just killed a Convergence-tier novice and Convergence-tier intermediate cultivators, so you should send Convergence-tier advanced or full-fledged Convergence-tier cultivators, whom I would keep counter-killing and looting, after which I would become stronger.”

Afterwards, they would start sending average Sufferance-tier cultivators, and then stronger Sufferance-tier cultivators, allowing him to keep counter-killing, looting, and strengthening. Then, one day, he would visit both sects on his own when his G.o.dly cultivation was accomplished, bulldozing both sects with peerless fighting power—that would be the correct plot progression for any protagonist.

Who goes for the killing stroke on the get-go?

They have simply resorted to sending cultivators who suffered through six and seven retributions. How am I supposed to turn the tables?

“Hold on...”

“What is their actual tier again?”

Only then did Jiang He remember about that question...

He did not know much about Sufferance-tier. Could it be categorized like one retribution, two retributions, three retributions and so forth?

“It’s so detailed... but how is it grouped?”

“Could it be that cultivators who have suffered through one heavenly retribution would be grouped as one retribution. Thereafter, they would allow their cultivation to stabilize before suffering through another heavenly retribution, making it two retributions... and this pattern would continue up to nine retributions?”

There was a horrible look on Jiang He’s face at that very thought.

d.a.m.n it!

I had only wanted to gather Farm Points. Then, after I ascend as a full-fledged Yuan Spirit, I would directly learn the fifth and sixth folds of Three Thousand Calamites, directly ascending as a full-fledged Convergence cultivator, before progressing to Sufferance...

And after weathering through the heavenly retributions, it was ascension to full-fledged Sufferance-tier cultivator.

Still, if the heavenly retributions were divided numerically from one up to nine, did that not mean he would have to suffer nine consecutive heavenly retributions?

Gasp!

Jiang He could not help inhaling sharply!

It was a pain to even think about suffering through nine heavenly retributions in one go, though it would be even scarier if one had to withstand from morning till night...

“It could last overnight if it takes longer than expected and there’s not telling if I can have dinner or supper in the middle of Sufferance... What if I get hungry?”
