Chapter 311: Yuan Spirit Projection

Chapter 311: Yuan Spirit Projection

“The Stargate!”

Even from over a hundred kilometers away, Jiang He could still clearly see the Stargate above the skies of Jinyintan Village and he felt a little helpless just then .

He did not have a way of destroying that thing for now .

And since he could not destroy it, it meant that the Sky Demon champions could cross it at any time and descend upon Earth .

“It’s fine if it was the middle of the day since I could just come up with some idea on how to kill them, but if they sneak out at night when I’m asleep…” Jiang He could not help shuddering at that thought .

The truth was that it was not safe during daytime either .

What if the Sky Demon champions came in the morning, given that Jiang He himself usually woke up at noon?

Surely he could not stay at home at guard it every single day?

What if the Sky Demon champions arrived when he went out elsewhere to play?

Whoosh!

In no time at all, Jiang He landed before his own front door .

Still, he now had an idea as he looked up again at the Stargate over on the horizon… Perhaps when he created manuals for item refinement and pellet refinement, he could create another array technique as well .

After all, those three disciples were mandatory for a cultivator .

“I had not used the three slots for planting cultivation manuals after I leveled my farm . Incidentally, one item refinement, one pellet refinement, and one array technique is just the right number . ”

Jiang He did not enter his mansion after stepping into his yard but headed straight to his farm instead . Dumbo and the others had already flattened a corner, and the Chinese-styled capsule mansion stood all by itself over there .

It was time to build the shed, artificial lake, fake mountain, bamboo forest and fences ahead of schedule .

“I could gather that stuff when I leave to catch Feral Kings for the Superpower Research Department… the bamboo forests would be easy since there are some within Hua Nation borders and I just have to replant them . At the same time, I could chop some of those bamboos for fences, and as for fake mountains, artificial lakes, and sheds, I could just move some from a park . ”

As those ideas crossed Jiang He’s mind, he called out to Dumbo, who had been cultivating at a corner of farm, and had it dig a hundred holes .

The beast’s brain appeared to be working today . Knowing that a hundred was two fifties, it dug a hundred holes—no more, no less .

With that, Jiang He planted every spirit condensation pellet before getting pen and paper, ready to create a cultivation manual . Even so, the process required inspiration, and Jiang He had no idea how to go about it . He attempted to write something several times, but would always get stuck twenty or thirty words in, and eventually had to crumple whatever he wrote into a ball and throw it away .

Meanwhile, the spirit condensation pellets had really sprouted .

“Eh…”

“Another tree?”

“This system is showing no creativity at all . ”

Jiang He could not help complaining even as he stared at the little shoot that was growing healthily . Every medicinal pellet he had planted so far had grown in tree form, but was the System really unable to switch styles?

For example…

Having a chick bloom, and then have the pellets grow all over her body?

When that happens, he would be fine with plucking each top-down even if it meant extra work .

Meanwhile, the many young shoots were growing rapidly and by half-past-seven in the morning, all of them had grown into two-meter-tall pellet trees, each dangling with smooth, round spirit condensation pellets .

Jiang He counted a hundred on each tree .

Walking up, he plucked one .

[Ding!]

[+1,000 Farm Points . ]

A crisp System Notification jingled in Jiang He’s mind . Doing a double take, he then plucked another…

[Ding!]

[+1,000 Farm Points . ]

Woah!

Jiang He was delighted . Since that tree had a hundred spirit condensation pellets and each pellet earned him a thousand Farm Points, didn’t that mean he would earn a hundred thousand Farm Points from a single tree?

And there were a hundred trees…that meant ten million Farm Points!

“Ten million…”

It took Jiang He seconds to calm himself from his excitement and he could not help laughing . “I had only wanted to get myself a few medicinal pellets that I could munch on to quickly complete my Yuan Spirit cultivation… I did not imagine that I would earn ten million Farm Points in the process too!”

[Ding!]

[+1,000 Farm Points . ]

[Ding…]

Reaching out with a grasping motion, Jiang He’s mystic energy whirled as he plucked off every spirit condensation pellet . As he listened to the System Notifications beeping on repeatedly and his Farm EXP that rocketed ahead, Jiang He…

Sighed a little emotionally .

What a shame .

Aside from earning him 1,000 Farm Points, each spirit condensation pellet also earned him 100 EXP . Be that as it may, his farm’s EXP was already maxed at 500,000, and any surplus was just a waste .

Soon, the hundred spirit condensation pellet trees were all harvested .

Turning on his System, Jiang He took a glance—

[Name: Jiang He]

[Cultivation: Immortal Path—novice Yuan Spirit; Martial Arts—divine-tier (divine union)]

[Ability: Royal Sword, fire]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Indestructible Diamond (Mastery+), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Mastery+), Strengthened Nine Yang Technique (Eighth Tier+), Ninefold Thunderblade (Mastery), Dragon-Elephant Prajna (Mastery), Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula (Third Tier+), Three Thousand Calamities (Fourth Fold+), Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array (Mastery), Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses (Mastery), Twenty-Three Swords (Mastery) . ]

[Owned Land: 9 Mu]

[Farm Level: 5 (EXP 500000/500000)]

[System Backpack: 24 boxes]

[System Shop: Unlocked]

[Farm Points: 10,100,000]

“There are 10 . 1 million Farm Points already?”

“It seems that cultivating up to the fifth fold of Three Thousand Calamites costs ten million Farm Points . However, once I cultivate my Yuan Spirit to completion, it would improve to fifth-fold mastery—in other words, I would leap up to full-fledged convergence tier . My powers would improve over a dozen times then, and my combat ability definitely would strengthen incredibly . ”

“If my Farm Points were enough, I could even directly cultivate Three Thousand Calamities up to the Sixth Fold and directly complete my Sufferance cultivation . Should I plant some immortal items then, I would definitely dominate Earth itself . ”

Even as the thought crossed Jiang He’s mind, he turned his eyes towards the spirit condensation pellet in his palm .

It looked no different from hawthorn pills and did not have any special scent . However, when one observed through divine mind, they would notice unique spirit energies wafting around the surface of the medicinal pellet . They would form lines of complex scripts, giving it a mystical appearance .

[Spirit Condensation Pellet]

[Tier: Rank-Six soul pellet]

[Effect: Improves Yuan Spirit cultivation]

[Friendly Reminder: Inedible . Cultivate with divine mind . ]

Jiang He was almost cursing when he saw the word ‘inedible’, since that word often appeared when it comes to pea bombs, potato landmines, green pea bullets, and Doom Shrooms . It was fortunate that ‘cultivate with divine mind’ was written next to it, or Jiang He would have really lost his mind .

He tried to use his divine mind to cultivate the spirit condensation pellet . Once it connected, the pure spirit energies promptly fused into his divine mind and Jiang He could clearly feel his divine mind growing by a fraction .

At the same time, the spirit energy within the spirit condensation pellet in his hand was drained entirely although the pellet itself looked like it did not change, becoming pellet waste .

Jiang He threw away the useless pellet nonchalantly and took out another…

Divine mind emanating .

Cultivating spirit energy .

And dump .

The process looked as if Jiang He was taking out spirit condensation pellets one by one, sniffing them, and throwing away . It was simple, quick and convenient, and Jiang He had cultivated over sixty spirit condensation pellets in just ten minutes when his Yuan Spirit shuddered and his aura expanded wildly, enlarging by several inches up to a foot tall .

“So this is the pinnacle of a Yuan Spirit novice?”

“I didn’t think that my Yuan Spirit’s height would increase when its cultivation improved . I wonder how tall a full-fledged Yuan Spirit would be . ”

Jiang He pondered when an idea came to him and he said, “A foot-tall Yuan Spirit is already incredibly stable . Let my try Yuan Spirit Projection . ”

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, ready to attempt Yuan Spirit Projection when he opened his eyes again…

It was the first time after all, and a little nervousness was unavoidable .

Moreover, his physical being would be unconscious after he projected his Yuan Spirit, which was why he must go about this carefully .

That being said, Jiang He was not at ease even after he called Dumbo and Trumbo to him, and had them guard his body . Likewise, he did not feel secure after waking the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers… and eventually went beneath the Cloudscraper Vine .

The Cloudscraper Vine was already a Feral Emperor, and given its uniqueness, not even Wang Hou himself would be a match for it . With it protecting his body, he would not get so much as a scratch unless the elites from the secluded immortal sects or demonic sects attacked him .

As for the average divine-tier or Void-tier elites?

Leaving aside whether they could break through the Cloudscraper Vine’s defenses, they would not even scratch Jiang He even if they could make it past the plant and attacked with their full power .

“My physique is still weak . If I had enough Farm Points, I could improve my physique a little… even if the definition of Sword Sage is to prioritize attack and be weak in defense, it’s another matter entirely if my physical strength increased . ”

“Furthermore, it has been written in many novels that elites who practice physique refinement can overwhelm anything . When I master that, the overwhelming pressure my physical body exudes would prevent even the average elite from coming near me even after I have projected my Yuan Spirit out of my body . ”

With that thought, Jiang He sat cross-legged on the ground, his foot-long Yuan Spirit flying out from between his brow .

He was very curious since this was his first Yuan Spirit Projection . As he lowered his head and looked downward, he could clearly see his physical body, which was sitting meditatively under the Cloudscraper Vine, as well as everything in his farm .

As he attempted flight, he soon realized that Yuan Spirit moved very quickly and basically reached five times the speed of sound—and that was because his Yuan Spirit was still weak at the moment . In fact, he could reach six times the speed of sound if he were a full-fledged Yuan Sprit, and quicker since his Yuan Spirit could cast Royal Sword Flight .

In addition, it was possible for his Yuan Spirit to change forms since it remained a clump ‘divine mind’ and was a body of energy . Therefore, being able to transform was logical .

Jiang He’s Yuan Spirit hence instantly changed into a dark cloud .

The dark cloud then churned and condensing into a flying sword .

Swish!

The flying sword cut through the skies, arriving at Lingzhou City within the space of ten breaths .

“The night view of Lingzhou City is fine too…”

Jiang He roamed through Lingzhou City with his Yuan Spirit in the night until the skies brightened, and only then did he return to his farm, where his Yuan Spirit returned into his physical form .

Jiang He opened his eyes and inhaled deeply while musing quietly to himself, “Yuan Spirit projection is quite convenient . Still, there are many things I can’t do since I’m not in physical form…”

It was also why he merely roamed the night in Lingzhou City without going to Wang Siyu .

Nonetheless, that was when an off-road vehicle drove to the alley outside Jiang He’s house .

That naturally did not escape Jiang He’s divine mind scouting, and he frowned in a little surprise…

It was Mu Wanqiu’s car .

Though it was normal for Director Wu of the Martial Arts Academy to be onboard since she was best buddies with Mu Wanqiu, why was Wang Siyu with them too?

Jiang He strode out, ready to leave, when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned his gaze toward the side of the willow tree… where a tuft of grass had grown out unbeknownst to him . It was a little similar to ordinary green grass, though its thin leaves had sawtooth growing out .

It was around two feet tall, the tip of which was a curiously shaped… something .

“A ring?”

“A collar?”

Jiang He frowned as it was no fruit growing out of the grass, but a collar, prompting images of a badger in his mind .

“This thing… was it the Mysterious Seed?”

Jiang He had actually forgotten that he had planted the other Mysterious seed .

Nonetheless, his mind went to work .

A collar?

Could it be a mystic treasure?

But had there been any mystic treasure collars before?
