Chapter 474: Martial Scripture
The menu of dishes at Jiang He’s home was as extravagant as ever.
Each grain of the Dragontooth Rice could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars at the market. Moreover, it would be matched with vegetables he planted, which contained various special effects, and when served along with the meat of high-ranked Ferals, a single meal would amount up to several hundred million dollars.
Even so, Wang Hou was finding the food dull and tasteless.
All his thoughts were dwelling upon the Martial Scripture.
Wiping his mouth after finishing his portion with much difficulty, Wang Hou asked, “About the martial cultivation method, Jiang He...”
Jiang He slowly cleaned his mouth as well and took out his phone to check the time...
Over two hours had passed.
The Martial Scripture could be harvested now.
He stood up and smiled. “Boa Hancock, please brew a pot of tea for Minister Wang.”
Then, he turned to Wang Hou and said, “Please enjoy the tea for the time being, Minister Wang. I’ll go out for a bit and discuss the Martial Scripture with you later.”
As a matter of fact, he did not really have to hide his farm.
He was a Grand Luo, and it made sense that his house would have a grotto-heaven spanning a hundred squared kilometers containing Spirit Qi hundreds of times more concentrated than before... it could more or less be explained, but the problem was that he cannot allow Wang Hou to know about the plants growing within.
Considering the time, the Martial Scripture should be ripe soon, which meant the first batch of immortal crystals would be ripe as well. How was he supposed to explain the trees with immortal crystals dangling across his Farm to Wang Hou if he entered?
Moreover...
He had run with the character setting of being adept at creating cultivation manuals, and that would probably collapse if Wang Hou knew.
Hence, as Wang Hou moved to the sofa while repressing his curiousity and savored his Old Tea of Enlightenment, Jiang He left the mansion and headed straight inside his Farm.
Thick Immortal Qi filled the farm right now. The sun was hanging high above, while a field of immortal trees had grown out of the ground. As the immortal crystals dangling on the crystalline tree reflected sunlight, it glimmered faintly and appeared extremely beautiful.
Meanwhile, the Cloudscraper Vine had now grown to colossal proportions, its tendrils having grown up to three thousand meters long and split into 720 strands, and could cover an entire small if spread out.
Moreover, it was now full-fledged Mahayana-tier, and had cultivated neither martial arts nor immortal arts.
It stuck to its own path of evolution by devouring, which was why there was no bottleneck for it to speak of. According to Jiang He’s estimation, it would soon ascend as well, since it benefited greatly when the farm leveled up as well.
At the same time, his willow tree was now gigantic as well, its trunk now having grown to a hundred meters and its crown covering a third of the farm.
On top of the tree trunk, the willow tree’s loli face had appeared to watch Jiang He as he entered the farm... curiously however, although the willow tree was towering and massive, its human form remained a loli around fifteen years old.
If it were any other occasion, Jiang He would have teased the willow tree a little, but today...
He did not have the time.
Heading straight to the mansion yard at a corner inside the farm, he turned toward the small tree beside the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment, which was a composed of light and shadow... the little trees appeared illusory and was no more than ten feet tall, but the spirit of martial arts flowing out of it left Jiang He glancing at it sideways.
“What the heck?”
“The spirit of martial arts flowing out of a tree?”
Jiang He was most amused.
He looked up at the tip of the tree, where there was a plain, yellowed and somewhat worn tome.
The words Martial Scripture was written vividly on the cover, appearing as ancient as it was powerful.
Jiang He reached out to pluck the Martial Scripture.
[Ding!]
[+30 billion Farm Points.]
A System Notification jingled in his head.
“30 billion Farm Points!”
Jiang He’s face twitched and he exclaimed in surprise, “The value of this Martial Scripture is actually higher than the Yuan Killer Sword, which is a premium-grade innate soul weapon...”
After all, it was only by reaching Eternal-tier, which was the highest level in Martial Scripture, that one would be an equal against Demi-Saints... moreover, the Scripture of the Chaos Thundersword that he had previously created should not be much different from Martial Scripture...
“Could the reason be because Martial Scripture had developed a brand-new system for martial arts?”
Either way, he could not wrap his head around it, and so gave up on pondering.
Jiang He looked at he Martial Scripture he was holding, and a System notification jingled beside his ears again—
[Ding!]
[The cultivation manual Martial Scripture is detected. Would you spend 1,000 Farm Points to learn the first tier, Host?]
Jiang He was not in a rush to learn, and instead wanted to examine the Martial Scripture he planted to find out if there was anything different from what he wrote.
Flipping to the first page, he found it completely blank and textless. However, once his immortal will flowed into the page, he could see chunks of text which described the cultivation technique of the first-tier in Martial Scripture...
The second pages recorded the second-tier in Martial Scripture, while the third and the fourth pages were recorded with the third and fourth-tiers respectively...
The fifth page, which was recorded with the cultivation method of the Yin-Yang tier, had a detailed explanation on how to cultivate godly techniques in martial arts in the latter half...
As for the sixth page, aside from the cultivation method of the sixth-tier, it also explained how to condense a martial technique into a seed...
Overall, there were fourteen pages in the entire scripture.
Jiang He could not help breathing a sigh of relief after skimming through it and chuckled. “And here I was worried that the cultivation manual I developed would not be detailed enough... it seems that I had worried too much.”
Taking out a jade charm, he printed out the contents of everything his immortal will recorded within the jade charm before striding out of the Farm.
His pace was slow, but each step covered over a hundred meters, and he reached the entrance of his Farm in just a few steps.
At the same time, he thought...
“System, cultivate Martial Scripture!”
[Ding!]
A System Notification jingled in his head, while the tome that was the Martial Scripture turned into radiance that entered between Jiang He’s brows. All at once, voluminous information spread out within his mind, and various cultivation methods in Martial Scripture flowed into his head.
[-1,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully mastered the first-tier of Martial Scripture.]
[-10,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully mastered the second-tier of Martial Scripture.]
[-100,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully mastered...]
Right now, Jiang He had earned over 2.3 trillion Farm Points, while cultivating the early tiers of Martial Scripture did not cost many Farm Points.
By the time he left the Farm, he had mastered the fourth-tier in Martial Scripture.
It had cost him a million Farm Points, and as for the change....
The most unique aspect about the fourth-tier in martial Scripture was the conversion of Innate Yuan to a True Qi. Having trained in martial arts before, Jiang He had gone through the same motion at divine-conversion, which was nothing changed in him for this tier.
“Jiang He!”
In the mansion, Wang Hou had sensed the unusual presence and appeared immediately at the courtyard, his gaze twitching when he saw Jiang He.
“Were you testing the new martial cultivation method you developed?” he exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right!”
Jiang He nodded and said, “The cultivation method was just developed, and I ought to check whether it works and if there are anything unsuitable. What if I gave it out, only for some martial artists to cripple themselves? Wouldn’t that be my fault?”
Ooom!
Even as he spoke, Jiang He’s aura changed once again.
[Ding!]
[-10 million Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully mastered the fifth-tier of Martial Scripture.]
The fifth tier of Martial Scripture was the Yin-Yang Tier, where one could cultivate certain godly techniques in martial arts.
Multitudinous wonders appeared around Jiang He after he ascended up to that tier. Veins of Sword Qi arose while air blades erupted, just as thunderbolts struck from overhead and flames burst out of the ground beneath.
As Wang Hou gaped, Jiang He explained with a smile, “Minister Wang, this is the fifth-tier in Martial Scripture, which I’d named Yin-Yang tier, and it’s a level where martial artist could cultivate their godly moves...”
“My idea was that this tier could act as a foundation for the subsequent tiers. The more godlike techniques in martial arts one cultivates, the stronger one would become... anyway, I’ll pause my cultivation on this tier to develop more godlike techniques first...”
Wang Hou was dumbstruck.
What the hell!
This runt really did it?
He developed a brand-new martial arts system by reading novels?
Most importantly...
That Yin-Yang tier and whatnot did not feel weak at all!
