Powerful Farmer
Portals

That morning after going through a morning sports event together, they gathered in the dining room of the manager of the Genteng Village Authority Agency.

After Joan shared her experience, they were all stunned when Joan told them she was on a small island in the middle of the ocean, none of them ever imagined that Joan would go to an unexpected place.

"Is it just an illusion".

Madam Be shared her conjecture, everyone there who listened to it nodded their heads in approval of Madam Be's opinion because apart from Madam Be and master Lung no one had ever gone further than the boundary of the Etam Continent.

As far as they had gone, it was limited to the port city, they had never gone across the ocean, so how could they imagine an island in the middle of the ocean.

"It's not an illusion but a portal".

Joan said because if it was an illusion, she couldn't possibly take her family's painting out of there. The painting was real, as well as the token he was carrying.

"What is a portal".

They asked Joan

"The mortal was like a tunnel connecting one place to another but this was no ordinary tunnel that could only connect two adjacent places".

"This mortal could connect two far-flung regions perhaps even different countries or time spaces".

These words of Joan stirred up an uproar in their hearts. How wonderful it would be if something like that was real. Imagine being able to travel to a different country or perhaps to another world without the use of horses or ships in Joan's case. Not to mention the other world.

This was truly something unimaginable in their wildest imaginations though.

"Is that possible"; asked Andi.

"Maybe, I've heard of this many decades ago, there is an ancient sect head who can travel from one country to another in an instant but we guess that is just a rumor".

Master Lung said.

"Keep what about the map you find, what your next plan is".

Mr. Joko said while looking at Joan, Mr. Joko had discussed it with his wife. Although they loved Joan very much but they understood, they could not prevent Joan from finding her parents.

Joan had given them many things, not only restoring the condition of their bodies but also restoring their hope and confidence to be dignified human beings and also beneficial to others.

"Oh, Dad, if mom and dad give me permission, I'll try to trace this map, maybe it can give me a clue as to where I really am".

"Of course Joan, we give your blessing, whenever you want to go, we will let you go but please don't forget us, you must try to give news wherever you are" said Mr. Joko.

"Yes dad, I won't be able to forget you all".

Said Joan again. Andi then took over Joan's words.

"Well, we talked about that last night, we will select and choose to bring a hundred men from the guard of the Genteng village along with two hundred Heavenly Empire naval soldiers".

"Selections will be held from tomorrow, including proficiency in combat on land and in the water, swimming and diving skills. Anyone in Genteng village can follow the selection, be it the villagers or the guardian of Genteng village. It's a great opportunity to explore a new world but it's also a dangerous journey because we won't know what dangers lie ahead of us. So prepare yourself well".

Shut up for a moment before continuing.

"So who will be ready to leave, can write a will for his new family will be given if the pearls of their souls are extinguished".

This soul pearl was an informational item that recorded the life and death of a cultivator, if the pearl shone brightly then the condition of the owner of the soul pearl was fine, just fine, but if the pearl light becomes gloomy, it means that the owner of the pearl of the soul is in a state of pain and if the light goes out then it is certain that the owner of the pearl of the soul is dead.

Those soul pearls were extremely expensive and were usually only used by the core families of the Clans or also inner disciples of a sect, money was not a problem for the Roof Tile Village Authority Board. They had fantastic wealth, so to buy soul pearls for the entire Genteng village was not a problem for them.

Those sent to carry out their duties or those in charge of escorting goods have soul pearls kept in one special room with their respective identification marks. This soul pearl could be activated through a drop of blood dripped on top of the soul pearl and the moment it was done then the soul pearl would automatically acknowledge the person dripping blood on top of this soul pearl as the owner of this soul pearl so that wherever the person is in the same world as the soul pearl, the owner of this soul pearl will be connected to the soul pearl.

The announcement for this selection was posted on the notice board of the martial hall also in the dining room. Any person over seventeen and under forty years of age can register himself.

Joan's three younger siblings were eager to join the expedition but Joan did not allow it, so Joan sent them to the capital to study at the academy of the Flying Sword school. Joan knew this journey would be very dangerous and there was a chance that some of those who left would not return.

Joan did not want her parents to be more saddened by the loss of her other children. Joan comforted her sisters that there was still another chance for them to follow the next expedition.

Joan's sisters could understand and accept that, they knew that they did not yet have the strength to protect themselves and instead they would be a burden for Joan to protect them on the journey later. So they were determined to study and practice martial arts earnestly so that they would not disappoint their older brother.

Little Fox was also not allowed to leave, Joan gave the task to Little Fox to take care of her younger siblings during their studies at the Flying Sword school, let alone little Fox also still studying at the Flying Sword school, not to mention that Little Fox was also still studying at the Flying Sword school, all this time with her status, little Fox likes to skip her lessons but with her responsibility to look after Joan's sisters, she is no longer negligent with her lessons. This once rowing two three islands exceeded.

Consort Ouyang who always had trouble to manage his wayward son was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief
