Chapter 258:

Five Hundred Thousand Yield Doom Shroom

“Master!”

Sora came to greet him.

Behind her, Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers and the two golden eaglets all came to him.

Jiang He arrived at a corner of the farm and carved out an area of the ground, saying, “Flatten this spot, guys. We’ll build a mansion here soon, and might have to stay in the farm often in the future.”

“Don’t worry, master! I’ll see to that!”

Directing its earth-type powers, Dumbo flattened the ground Jiang He drew out. Then, seemingly finding that it had not done a good job, it ran off to speak to the Cloudscraper Vine, which lifted the dog up into the air while it slammed several Ucchusma Stonebreaker Palm down on the ground.

“You’re quite smart, dog.”

Jiang He could not help chuckling.

He then took out a capsule and threw it on the even ground.

Bang!

After the dust settled down, a Chinese-style mansion appeared in a corner of the farm. It seemed to poke up like a sore thumb, however, and it did not feel like the farm life Jiang He had imagined.

“Needs a little decoration.”

Jiang He mused to himself for a moment as a thought occurred to him.

He should make a fence around the mansion.

Still, he had the materails for it.

The stems of the purple-gold sunflowers that were left after farming them was kept in the farm itself, and after some craftwork, it would be very suitable for a fence.

“I’ll also add in a bamboo arch after I finished the fence and plant various flowers around the fences. I could also plant a small tree at the small yard, put in a cane chair beneath the tree as well as a stone table and bench beside it. After that, planting some fruits and vegetables in a corner of the yard would make it perfect.”

“After the farm is expanded, we could make a garden outside the yard, get a fake mountain, dig out an artificial lake and put in some fishes and prawns, build a pergola... When I’m free, I’ll go fishing with some ladies, play grab the eel and the like. How perfect would that be?”

He told Sora about his idea at that.

When Dumbo heard it, he promptly started bootlicking. “Good idea, master! Our house would be so beautiful if we could do that!”

“And why aren’t you going to work if it’s beautiful?’

Jiang He shot the dog a glare.

With that, Dumbo quickly called out to Trumbo and they went to work.

At present, the dog and the cat’s ability were not work.

With one wielding a sword and the other a blade, they cut off the many sunflower stalks in three... but they used it up after several dozen meters.

“Well, I’ll get some bamboo when I get back. It’s only with a bamboo fence that it has the proper feel to it.”

After that, Jiang He had Dumbo dig another twenty or so holes.

Spending a hundred thousand Farm Points at one go, he redeemed 20 packs of Mysterious Soil.

Jiang He more or less understood that stuff now—it was a high-grade fertilizer that promotes crop growth and strengthen the attributes of the crops.

After that, he drew out the Autumn Water Sword hilt and the one third of its edge, planted it and pour an entire pack of Mysterious Soil. It was only by giving that you receive, and he would be earning a killing if he managed to plant another premium soul weapon.

Next up, he started planting the mushrooms.

Dumbo stared at the Doom Shroom in Jiang He’s hand curiously and asked uncertainly, “Master, why does that very black thing look like a dog pee cap?”

The dog pee cap was another type of mushroom. It usually grows on the corner of a walls or dried dung, was mildly poisonous and would turn black once exposed to the sun. Jiang He was uncertain what other places called it, and either way it is called the dog pee cap over at Lingzhou City, since it grows out at corners of the wall where dogs peed on.

He then checked the Doom Shroom again...

Others notwithstanding, the resemblance was striking.

That being said, it felts so weird when Dumbo says the name ‘dog pee cap’.

Jiang He placed one of the Doom Shroom in the soil and opened another pack of Mysterious Soil, then poured in half for each hole. And after he planted all 38 Doom Shrooms, the 20 packs of Mysterious Soil he redeemed just a moment ago was used up.

That was when a sword light radiated out from beneath ground at the spot where he planted the Autumn Water Sword.

There was a dark green luster emanating form the sword light that resembled lake water, stirring circular waves—as the sword light expanded, even the sound of waves could be heard.

After around two hours, the dark green sword light stopped growing.

Jiang He reached out to grab the sword light, and it promptly shrunk into a dark-green longsword that landed in Jiang He’s palm.

[Ding!]

[+10,000 Farm Points.]

As the System Notification jingled in his head, a look of delight showed on Jiang He’s face and he exclaimed, “Premium soul item!”

The System awarded him 10,000 Farm Points when he reaped the Scarlet Flame Sword too... and clearly, the Autumn Water Sword was a premium sold item as well.

Jiang He then looked at the Autumn Water Sword, a cluster of data appearing before his eyes—

[Autumn Water Sword]

[Grade: Premium soul weapon.]

Jiang He laughed out loud, grabbed the Autumn Water Sword and slashed it on his fingertip.

Clang!

The sound of clashing metals rang.

Jiang He: “...”

Now that he had reached mastery over the third-tier of the Nine Heavenly Star Body Formula, Jiang He’s physical durability had improved by almost ten times. Even a nonchalant cut from a premium soul weapon barely tore his skin.

There was no helping it—he just has to cut a little stronger.

Cutting his finger and dripping a drop of blood on the Autumn Water Sword, Jiang He refined the sword while complaining, “Who was it who invented the blood offering method to mystic treasures... isn’t that too unreasonable?”

Now that he had mastered the third-tier of the Nine Star Heavenly Body Formula, it was actually difficult to cut through his skin.

If he reached tier-four or five, wouldn’t the premium flying swords break even before it cut through his skin? How should he refine the mystic treasures when that happened?

“Well, I’ll have to get an even higher-grade mystic treasure... or maybe use my teeth?”

Jiang He had a flash of inspiration just then. There would definitely be no problems with using teeth since one’s teeth is always as harder than one’s physical being, meaning that he could break his skin even after strengthening.

Either way, he owned two premium flying swords now.

The Scarlet Flame Sword with the fire attribute and the Autumn Water Sword with the water attribute was just right for cultivating the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array.

A System Notification jingled in Jiang He’s head then—

[Ding!]

[Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array detected. Consume 300,000 Farm Points to learn cultivate, Host?]

Three hundred thousand...

So expensive!

Jiang He complained.

Counting in the 10,000 Farm Points earned after harvesting the Autumn Water Sword just now, he only had 310,000 Farm Points now.

He would be penniless after cultivating.

Cultivate!

With just a thought, the crisp System notification jingled in his mind once more—

[Ding!]

[-300,000 Farm Points.]

[Congratulations, host. You have cultivated the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array to Mastery.]

In that very moment, substantial profound information about a sword array poured inside Jiang He’s head. With a single thought, Jiang He released both the Scarlet Flame Sword and the Autumn Water Sword, and he wielded both flying swords according to the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array. Waves of sword hum resonated, and the Scarlet Flame Sword turned into a fiery radiance, whereas the Autumn Water Sword turned into a watery radiance.

The fiery and watery radiances then interweaved up in the air, slicing through it.

Whoosh!

It actually sliced through some of the graying mist up in the skies of the farm.

Jiang He waved, all smiles as he put away Scarlet Flame Sword and the Autumn Water Sword.

The Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array was very powerful.

The sword slash just now was more than several times stronger than a full-power White Foal Crosses the Rift, the first style of the Three Thousand Calamities.

“With the third-tier of the Nine Heavenly Star Body Formula coupled with the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, I now more or less have the leverage to kill the Sky Demon Cult and the Dragoncroc Emperor...”

Jiang He then turned to look at the Doom Shroom on the ground.

They had matured too, and was now more than twice larger than before. Still, there was not much change in its appearance, and it still remembered a pitch-black... dog pee cap.

Jiang He reached out and plucked one.

[Ding!]

[+100 Farm Points.]

Hmmm?

Jiang He’s face twitched.

A single Doom Shroom...

Actually earned him a thousand Farm Points?

And he had over a thousand of those, so didn’t that mean he could hoard another wave of Farm Points once again?

Of course, Farm Points were a secondary objective—Jiang He was most concerned about the stats of the Doom Shroom.

He stared at the Doom Shroom in his hand, and a cluster of data appeared before his eyes.

[Doom Shroom]

[A mutated mushroom with a temper. Causes a violent explosion upon collision.]

[Yield: 500,000 tons.]
