I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 38: The Surprising Gift

A mountain breeze blew, shaking the rice trunks.

“Look at that paddy! You don't have to worry about starving for so many years, Senior Brother! ”

“Once I start brewing wine with them, you will complain that it is not enough.”

“You can make wine from them?”

“Of course!”

“The wine you brew must be delicious! I want to drink 800 cups!”

Jiang Ming laughed. “Good!”

“How about the wheat, Senior Brother? What can you do with it?”

“I can make noodles, bakpao, rolls, tutmaq, dumplings, meat bakpao, dumplings, sliced noodles, pull noodles, boiled noodles, chopped noodles, noodles with soybean paste, noodles, dry noodles with sesame paste, oily noodles, regular noodles. You will have a different menu every day! There is also a soft and tender cake!”

“You can make so many things with him? That's amazing, Senior Brother! I want to eat it all!”

“Sure. I'll make it all for you to try. I'll make sure you grow up to be a healthy, plump young woman!”

“I don't want to be fat, Senior Sister!”

As the two chatted, they floated in the air and launched wind blades to harvest the plants.

…

Meanwhile, Gu Hai looked at his two disciples from a distance. A happy smile could be seen on his face as he stroked his beard.

“Murid was my first in his early 20s, but he was already at the Foundation Establishment Realm. He could be considered a talented sect disciple. My second disciple is only 13 years old, but he is already at the Extreme Gold Core Realm, breaking the record in the Jiuyang Sect since its establishment. With this, who would dare to say Chuyang Peak was in a downturn? Who would dare to say that I have no talented disciples? Who would dare to complain that I do not deserve the First Seat position?”

Gu Hai was very happy. He flicked his sleeve and took out his wine gourd before taking a few sips from it.

He sighed in satisfaction after he wiped his mouth with his sleeves. ‘It feels amazing!’

…

At the same time, Jiang Ming and Zi Linglong continued chatting while harvesting the crops.

“Look at Master, Senior Brother! I wonder what kind of happy thoughts he has in mind right now!”

“The old grandfather must have been very happy because of how proud you made him!”

“I think he is thinking of the First Seat of Jiaoyang Peak!”

“Do you know what their relationship is like?”

“I heard the seniors at Taiyang Peak talk about this before. When the First Chair Yin Yue was younger, she was an aloof beauty. He had many admirers, but he never paid too much attention to them. He has a good relationship with Master, but Master always avoids him for a reason.”

“Any!”

“Indeed.”

The two disciples continued to harvest the plants while chatting. It was not even noon when they finished harvesting 100 Mu of rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and other crops and stored them in the warehouse.

Jiang Ming had just received a notice of a gift when he saw his master waving at him.

As Jiang Ming approached Gu Hai, Gu Hai said, “Master Sect just called me to Taiyang Peak. I'll be gone for a minute. Take good care of the mountain as long as I go.”

After hearing this, Linglong said, “Don't worry, Master! I will destroy their cultivation base that dares to look for trouble with us!”

Gu Hai laughed. “Yes, destroy their cultivation base!”

Jiang Ming's eyes shone as he watched Gu Hai leave. He had an idea why Gu Hai was summoned to Taiyang Peak.

Afterwards, Jiang Ming returned to the front yard with his little sister. He decided to check the prize. He could not hold his breath sharply when he saw the notification again.

[Dig! Congratulations on harvesting your 100th crop. Gifts: Cultivation for 2,000 years, 100 Brightening Tea Leaves (high grade), 30 Brightening Stones (rare), Space Crystals, and Tyrant Halberd (Middle grade Dao Ship)

Jiang Ming felt like he was dreaming. The gifts he received daily from preparing food and cutting wood would only be worth two months of cultivation. This was equivalent to a 60 times increase in his cultivation speed. How could he not be surprised by the 2,000 years of cultivation he had just obtained? He could hardly believe this windfall. With 2,000 years of cultivation, he could easily fill his vast sea of consciousness and still have food scraps.

Moreover, he needed the Brightening Tea Leaves and the Brightening Stones as well. They would help him gain insight into the various Sambodha at a higher speed and cultivate more Dao Seeds.

When he read the description for the Space Crystal, his heart skipped a beat. This object is the result of the crystallization of spatial energy. It holds the mystery of space law.

“What if I get full insight into Sambodha Room? With that, I believe I can kill Mu Shuiyun!”

It is not a fantastic thought, it is filled with confidence and certainty.

Right now, he was using the Great Akasa-shape Sword Qi and Great Akasa Steps to gain insight into some of the derivatives of the Space Sambodha. With that, he could be considered extremely strong. What would happen if he gained insight into all of them? He could hardly imagine how powerful he would be.

“If only I had Time Crystal too.” Jiang Ming began to develop an insatiable meal.

The last item that Jiang Ming had rewarded was the Dao Ship. Dao Ship is superior to Artifacts. The Jiuyang Sect might not even have such an item.

While Jiang Ming was considering the various possibilities of being happy, Linglong tilted his head slightly and asked, “Senior Brother, why do you suddenly look so happy?”

“I'm happy for harvest!” Jiang Ming replied with a smile. Inwardly, he wondered if he should give some gifts to his junior sister. After considering for a moment, he rejected the idea.

He was too young, reaching the 9th Extreme Gold Core Realm at the age of 13. Even though it was an incredible feat, he was still immature. He must continue to build his character, soften his foundations, and gain knowledge. When he is 17 or 18 years old, he will then help him grow.

“I'm happy too, Senior Brother!” Linglong said excitedly, “From now on, I will farm and harvest by your side, Senior Brother!”

Jiang Ming nodded. “I won't get bored with you. All right, what do you want for lunch?”

“I want noodles!”

“Good. I'll make ten kinds of noodles for you. You can eat the whole thing!”

…

The great hall of Taiyang Peak.

The Sect Master and the eight First Chairs were all gathered at this moment.

The Sect Master slowly said, “I received the news this morning that Ge Changqing and the disciples who were here yesterday were ambushed by a demon named Luo Hou last night. Almost all died. Ge Changqing and Mu Lei did not survive.”

A heavy silence loomed over the large hall as the expressions of the eight First Seats changed.

The expression of Yue Cheng, the First Seat of Zhiyang Peak, underwent the most drastic change. His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard these words. Fortunately, he quickly recovered from his shock and fixed his expression.

The Sect Master continued saying, “I also received the news that Mu Shuiyun, Mu Lei's mother, has left the mountain as well. He and some elders of the Qingyun Sect checked and searched the battle location. They found one of the demon's headquarters. It was on one of the mountains 40,000 miles away from us. The battle there witnessed the loss of three elders from the Qingyun Sect; two of them were Nascent Soul cultivators. Even Mu Shuiyun was injured during the battle. Fortunately, reinforcements from the sect arrived at the right time, saving them from the fate of suffering greater losses.”

The First Eight Seats exchanged looks. Some of them were sweating coldly at this moment.

After all, the demon base was only 40,000 miles away from Jiuyang Sect. Those demons could easily come to Jiuyang Sect. Will the Jiuyang Sect be able to fend off demons if demons attack?

At this moment, Yue Cheng almost died from shock. He naturally knew about the base that the Sect Master mentioned. The demons stationed at the base were meant to attack Jiuyang Sect. After the preparations were finished, they would activate the Great Formation to trap the Jiuyang Sect. After that, they would kill, conquer, and replace the members of the sect.

‘Am I exposed?’ Yue Cheng wondered inwardly, frightened by his wits. He felt as if he was sitting on a needle at this moment. When the deaths of Zuo Han and Zou Yizhao appeared in his mind again, he was overwhelmed with the desire to escape.

The Sect Master asked, “Why do you think the demons set up camp 40,000 miles away from us? Are they planning to return?”

The great hall was still silent as everyone tried to process this shocking news.

When the Sect Master saw that no one responded to him, he looked at Yue Cheng as he slowly asked, “Young Brother Yue Cheng, you are always calm and resourceful. What do you think about this issue? ”

Yue Cheng, who had been seething in anxiety, instinctively got up when he was summoned. Then, when he realized everyone was staring at him, he quickly removed the shocked expression from his face and replaced it with a bitter smile. “I... In my opinion, the devil must have been preparing something but was discovered by the Qingyun Sect and forced to fight. I'm still shocked by this. Sect Master, I think we are unable to involve ourselves in this matter. We must close our gates, and enjoy our lives!”

Sect Master nodded. “You have a point. However, sometimes, it's impossible not to get involved even if that's what we want. Does anyone have any more ideas about what we should do?”

The atmosphere slowly warmed.

Yue Cheng participated in the discussion with a smile, but inwardly, he felt extremely agitated and agitated.
