I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 19: Harvesting and Shocking Profits

“You are growing well!” Zhang Junbao said as he wrapped his arm around Jiang Ming's shoulder and winked at him, “Should I introduce you to some of my junior sisters? That would make Chuyang Peak even more lively, wouldn't it?”

“If you are thinking of introducing someone to him, you should queue up, Senior Brother Zhang,” Momo said with a smile.

“You don't know what type of girl he likes,” Zhang Junbao said in a low voice, “Only a man understands another man!”

Momo sneered before she said with a frown, “You're all the same!” Then, he turned to look at Zi Linglong. A hint of jealousy and some complex feelings could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

Zhang Junbao patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder and said through Voice Transmission, “He's pretty good. She has a good personality, she's gentle, and she hangs out with your junior sister. Why don't you give him a chance?”

“If you think he's so good, why don't you go after him?” Jiang Ming replied.

“I'm only interested in being immortal. Women will only affect my cultivation speed and hinder my pursuit of longevity!” Zhang Junbao said as he waved his sleeve and placed his hand on his back.

Jiang Ming raised his chin slightly and said, “Your grandfather looks here.”

At this moment, Zhang Ren, the First Seat of Chunyang Peak, was looking at the two boys.

Zhang Junbao's lips twitched. Then, he said to Jiang Ming before quickly flying away, “Let's meet for a drink while you're free!”

At the same time, Zi Linglong walked towards Jiang Ming. He grabbed Jiang Ming's arm and shook it as he asked, “I'm amazing, right, Senior Brother?”

“Ya!” Jiang Ming said sincerely, “With you around, I don't have to worry about people looking for trouble with me.”

“They won't dare to do that!” Zi Linglong said confidently. Then, he asked, a little doubtful, “Senior Brother, Master, and Sect Master told me to cultivate in Taiyang Peak Sunhole for now. The Sect Master has said that he will give the sect secrets to me as well. Do you think I should go?”

“Of course!” Jiang Ming said without hesitation.

“T-but.. But I don't want to leave you, Senior Brother!”

“Listen to me. You better go. You can always come back after you finish cultivating there, right? ”

“OK. I'll be back as soon as possible!” Zi Linglong nodded.

In the end, Zi Linglong was taken away by Yan Yan.

…

After Jiang Ming followed Gu Hai back to Chuyang Peak, they sat in the courtyard.

Jiang Ming brewed a pot of tea and poured two cups of tea before he finally sat down. Then, he asked, “Master, will Linglong be back?”

“He can come back if he wants,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile. He finished the tea in the cup at once before he continued saying, “He is young and capricious. The Sect Master would definitely treat her like a princess at Taiyang Peak. I'm afraid that .. Anyway, we can't complain. His talent has been revealed. She was comparable to the Holy Princess by her talent. Someone might move on to him. I wouldn't be able to protect her if that happened. The death of Zuo Han means that there is a flaw in the defense of our sect. For the sake of Ling Long and the sect, we must keep him safe. It was best for him to stay by the Sect Master's side. ”

Although Gu Hai was feeling reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

“I understand.” Jiang Ming bitterly laughed. “You should visit Taiyang Peak as well, Sir. Linglong had never been far from our Peak before, so I was worried he would have trouble adapting to the new environment. I have no doubt they won't spare any effort in training him, but I'm afraid the young disciples might bully him out of jealousy. It's best if you visit more often to keep an eye on him. ”

“Good. I'll hand Peak over to you.” Gu Hai had already planned to do that as well. “I will activate the Protective Great Formation at the Peak. It will warn you, at least, if something happens.”

The Great Formation at Chuyang Peak was extremely simple. The formation was within the grounds of the sect. It would only result in the illusion of confusing and trapping the intruder.

After activating the Formation, Gu Hai left.

…

Under the pavilion on the roof.

Jiang Ming swung the recliner slowly, feeling a little lonely. He never got bored when his junior sister was by his side. Even when he was cultivating in seclusion, he did not feel alone knowing he was nearby. Now that she's not around, she discovers that she cares for him more than she imagined.

He sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes to cultivate. He tried to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, but he crashed into a wall. It was as if a huge mountain was standing on its cultivation path. He knew this was normal; the higher one's cultivation base was, the harder it was to break through.

This stage is very important to him. Advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm of the Golden Core Realm stepped into an entirely new world.

Jiang Ming continued wanting his Golden Core to push against the invisible wall in his sea of consciousness. Once he managed to destroy the wall, his sea of consciousness would turn into a heavenly sea, unique to the Purple Palace Realm.

Jiang Ming continued to circulate his qi with his Golden Core and push his sea of consciousness. The wall seemed to stand between heaven and earth. The thickness of the wall was in line with his achievements in the Golden Core Realm. This was the reason he had difficulty breaking through after reaching the 81st Extreme Gold Core Realm. It was too difficult, and he could only rely on sheer determination and strength to break through.

It's thundering!

When his Golden Core pushed the invisible barrier again, it triggered endless surging waves. Unfortunately, the barrier simply shook without breaking. He kept trying a few times, but his efforts were all in vain.

After a while, he decided to rest and focus on comprehending the Great Skyless Sword Qi instead. Unfortunately, he couldn't be calm enough to do that. In the end, he opened his eyes and looked outside.

The sun slowly moved west; it was already afternoon.

“I have to go and harvest the crops. I wonder what gift I'll get.”.

Jiang Ming rose and leaped to the back of the mountain.

…

Behind the mountain.

Rice stalks bent low in the gold fields. Oilseed rape is also waiting to be harvested. The vegetable fields were verdant and fertile, but the medicinal fields seemed rather sparse.

“This is the only world where rice, wheat, and radishes will ripen at the same time.”

Jiang Ming spread his senses wide and decided that no one was spying on him. Then, he waved his hand and launched a wind blade across the field. The blade easily cuts the stem of the oil radish near its roots.

He waved his hand again and the plant rose and flew into his hand. After shaking it vigorously, the oil radish seeds fell to the ground. A gust of wind carried the seed and the fallen leaves.

In just a short time, he collected 100 kilograms of radish oil. Since this is a spiritual tension, this result is satisfying.

Next, Jiang Ming fused his two palms together. He manipulates mana and squeezes its seeds like a compressor. Before long, drops of oil appeared, and he collected them in a jade bottle.

“It's really convenient!” Jiang Ming exclaimed. In just a matter of minutes, he finished extracting the oil from its seeds. “Tourists have really become great farmers! Efficiency 100 times better!”

[Dig! Congratulations on harvesting one Mu of radish oil and extracting the oil from it. Gifts: Cultivation for 20 years and human spiritual fruit!]

[Dig! Human spiritual fruit: a rare fruit that helps to focus the mind and improve one's comprehension skills]

“It can improve my comprehension skills?” Jiang Ming took a sharp breath.

Cultivating for 20 years was a huge reward. He did not expect to be rewarded with something that would improve his comprehension skills as well. He did know something as abstract and abstruse as comprehension skills could be improved.

He clicked his tongue in astonishment as he took out the fruit without hesitation. He bit a fruit that was about the size of a pigeon egg. “It's sweet!”

After he ate the fruit, he could feel a hint of energy entering his mind. It was a rather refreshing feeling. It felt as if his thought process had accelerated by at least ten times. He exclaimed in shock, “This is amazing!”

Then, Jiang Ming looked at the three Mu paddy and three Mu wheat with a smoldering gaze. However, he did not harvest it immediately. Instead, he sliced and cut the withered stem of the oil radish and turned it into powder before spreading it to the fields as fertilizer.

After that, he finally harvested the rice and wheat. He quickly finished them off. In the end, it weighed about 600 kilograms. He could feed himself for a long time with this. Although the process was a little more troublesome, there was nothing he could not handle.
