Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2290: Strength Increases

|TOC|Next->

What is the greatest enemy of cultivators? Some say it is time, some say it is demonic beasts, some say it is ghost cultivators, some say it is other cultivators, and some say it is the cultivators themselves.

But in reality, all cultivators understand that a cultivator’s greatest enemy is loneliness! Time is not the most terrifying thing for a cultivator, unless your lifespan is nearing its end, no one would believe that time is your greatest enemy.

Demonic beasts are not so scary. In the True Spirit Realm, cultivators are the dominant force, not beasts. Ghost cultivators are also cultivators. So, the only real enemy of cultivators is loneliness.

The word “loneliness” sounds somewhat literary, or even pretentious. However, for cultivators, this word is anything but pretentious. Since cultivators have long lifespans, when they study a cultivation technique or practice a martial art, they usually go into seclusion, sometimes for several years or even decades.

However, humans are not machines. Machines can work for a long time without breaking down, but humans cannot. Humans have emotions, and if a person stays alone for too long, something will happen. Therefore, a cultivator must be able to endure loneliness.

Zhao Hai had just spent a year in ascetic training at the mine. Logically, after coming out of the mine, he should have relaxed for a few days, but he didn’t. As soon as he returned, he went into seclusion to adapt to his body. For such a person, Wan Feng could only say that he was a born cultivator.

However, Wan Feng hadn’t come just to see Zhao Hai this time, he had other matters to attend to. So, Wan Feng stood in front of Zhao Hai’s door and said in a deep voice, “Is Zhao Ling here? I need to talk to you.”

Zhao Hai already knew Wan Feng had arrived. Now that Wan Feng called him, he immediately said, “Elder Wan! Please come in.” As he spoke, he walked out of the room and waved his hand to open the door.

Wan Feng walked into Zhao Hai’s courtyard from outside. He glanced at Zhao Hai and noticed that Zhao Hai’s aura had changed once again. If Zhao Hai looked like a long sword sheathed when he returned from the mine, he now looked like a roadside stone, utterly ordinary, just like when Wan Feng first met Zhao Hai.

Seeing Zhao Hai, Wan Feng knew that Zhao Hai had completely adapted to his body. Only in this way could he return to his original state. Wan Feng couldn’t help but praise him, “Such strong control!”

However, he didn’t say it outright. Instead, he said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice, “Little Ling, how’s your recovery going? This past year must have been exhausting.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Elder Wan, please come in. It’s nothing. To be honest, I’ve gained even more this past year.” After saying that, Zhao Hai invited Wan Feng into the room.

Wan Feng didn’t hesitate and followed Zhao Hai into the room. After they sat down, Zhao Hai poured Wan Feng a cup of tea and said, “Elder Wan, is there something you need today?”

Wan Feng nodded and said, “There is something. Your sect benefits for this year have been distributed. Here you go.” After saying that, Wan Feng took out a spatial bag and handed it to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai took the spatial bag, opened it, and found that it contained pills and jade essence, a set of clothes and an artifact. There was also a jade token with a row of numbers on it. Zhao Hai glanced at it and saw that it was a contribution point jade token with about 10,000 contribution points.

Zhao Hai looked at Wan Feng with confusion. In his memory, it was impossible for newcomers like him to receive so many contribution points.

Wan Feng understood Zhao Hai’s expression and smiled faintly, saying, “Keep it. This is the sect’s reward for you. Although you have been cultivating diligently this year, your initiative to train extra has inspired others to follow suit, making the sect’s cultivation efforts even more effective than before. Therefore, these contribution points are the sect’s reward for you.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, “Elder Wan, may I request an artifact of my own? That would be beneficial to my attack power.”

Wan Feng nodded and said, “Sure, you can provide the materials yourself and have an artifact crafted at the weapon crafting hall. You can design the appearance of the artifact yourself, or you can have a weapon refiner design it for you. You’ll know once you go to the weapon crafting hall.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then Wan Feng took out two jade slips and gave them to Zhao Hai, “These two items are a special reward from the sect. You handed over the ‘Demon Subjugation Technique’ to the sect, and the sect greatly appreciates it. Take them. By the way, you can also go to the sect’s Martial Arts Pavilion and choose a few other cultivation techniques to practice. Since you are now an inner disciple, you can choose four cultivation manuals for free. Don’t miss this opportunity.”

Zhao Hai nodded, he accepted the jade slip handed to him by Wan Feng, and said, “Thank you, Elder Wan.”

Wan Feng waved his hand and said, “This is what you deserve, no need to thank me. Alright, I won’t bother you anymore.” After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left. Zhao Hai saw him all the way to the door before returning to the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Zhao Hai returned to his room. He then picked up the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual force. Upon seeing the contents of the jade slip, Zhao Hai was taken aback, because the contents were incredibly simple. It was the Arhat Fist of the Forbidden Path Sect. The Arhat Fist is a very simple set of fist techniques, used entirely in conjunction with the Forbidden Path Sect’s body cultivation methods, and its power is still quite great.

It was precisely because of its simplicity that Zhao Hai learned it very quickly. After communicating with the spirituality of the Arhat Fist using his own thinking ability, Zhao Hai quickly learned Arhat Fist. ℞𝐚Ŋɵ𝐛ΕS̩

After getting up and practicing the Arhat Fist in the courtyard, Zhao Hai returned to his room, picked up another jade slip, and probed it with his spiritual force.

When Zhao Hai probed the jade slip with his spiritual force, he was stunned. He hadn’t expected the contents of the jade slip to be this. The contents of the jade slip were none other than the Divine Elephant Body Technique that Zhou Feng cultivated. Zhao Hai knew that this technique was high level. The fact that the Forbidden Path Sect allowed Zhou Feng to learn the Divine Elephant Body instead of the Evil Buddha Lotus Body itself demonstrated the power of this technique. It should be one of the stronger techniques in the Forbidden Path Sect, but Zhao Hai never expected that it would be given to him.

However, Zhao Hai was very happy. He originally wanted to learn the Divine Elephant Body because he still had a large amount of Crazed Elephant blood qi in his body that he had not digested. Only by learning the Divine Elephant Body could he better use the power of this blood Qi.

Zhao Hai carefully examined the cultivation method for the Divine Elephant Body. After reading it, Zhao Hai was quite surprised and couldn’t help but admire the genius of the person who created it. This method could be considered a half-demon method, requiring a large amount of blood qi from elephant-like demonic beasts during cultivation. Even if ordinary people knew this method, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate it, as they wouldn’t have anywhere to obtain so much blood qi from elephant-like demonic beasts.

When this technique is taken to the major accomplishment stage, it will not only grant you the power of a divine elephant, but it also significantly increases your defensive capabilities. In fact, once you master this technique, you will become a humanoid elephant-like demon beast, or might even be stronger than a typical elephant-like demon beast.

Zhao Hai put down the jade slip and let out a long breath. This was the most peculiar cultivation technique he had ever seen, but it was just right for him to practice. Zhao Hai let out a long breath, set up several magic formations in the courtyard, and then turned around and entered the quiet room of the house. He then mobilized his spiritual force and combined it with the mental power of the Divine Elephant King Body. Zhao Hai quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

Although Zhao Hai’s thought power had merged with the thought power of the Divine Elephant King Body, he was still aware of the changes in his body. He discovered that the blood qi of the Crazed Elephant was slowly merging into his body, and at the same time, his body was becoming increasingly fat. In the end, Zhao Hai could clearly feel that he had become a fat man weighing at least a thousand pounds.

Then at this moment, when the blood qi of the crazed elephants within him completely merged into his body, his body began to slowly shrink.

Zhao Hai has now reached the major accomplishment stage of the Divine Elephant Body, and the amount of spiritual qi in his body has also increased significantly. It almost reached the peak level of the Earth Monarch stage. This is because Zhao Hai’s spiritual qi reserves are about a hundred times that of an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have already reached the Teleportation stage or even the Diamond Body stage.

The reason why Zhao Hai’s cultivation speed is so fast is because he has too much Crazed Elephant blood qi in his body. Although blood qi mainly increases strength, it still greatly increased Zhao Hai’s spiritual energy.

But compared to his spiritual qi, Zhao Hai’s physical strength has increased even more. Zhao Hai’s physical strength is now extremely powerful. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he has the strength of ten elephants, and even that would be a bit low. As for his defense, even if he does nothing and just stands there, a cultivator at the teleportation realm would be unable to do anything to him.

It can be said that his defensive capabilities are no less than those of an ordinary Diamond Body Stage cultivator in the True Spirit Realm, and may even be stronger. This is precisely the most powerful aspect of the Divine Elephant Body. Even without using spiritual qi, Zhao Hai can now rival a Diamond Body Realm cultivator with just his physical strength.

Of course, flying was no longer a problem for Zhao Hai, but he has not flown yet because he knows very well that he shouldn’t be able to fly. If he were to fly, he would attract too much attention. It is always better to hide one’s strength than to expose it.

After Zhao Hai mastered the Divine Elephant Body, he checked the time. More than twenty days had passed since he emerged from the mine. In about five days, the Blood Demon Realm would open. Zhao Hai planned to use these few days to forge a few magical artifacts at the Forbidden Path Sect. At the same time, he also wanted to go to the Forbidden Path Sect’s Martial Arts Hall to select a few cultivation manuals. Although those things weren’t of great use to him, Zhao Hai still wanted to take a look.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Hai walked out of his courtyard and immediately sent a message to Zhou Feng. He had only planned to go into seclusion for a few days, but it turned out to be almost a month. He wondered how Zhou Feng was doing now.
