Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15944
Chapter 15942. Upgrade (Part 1)
“Brother Ge, Ran Wen is back. He’s been gone for several days. Should we teach him a lesson?” A burly cultivator asked a cultivator with a handsome face but an air of wickedness about him.
This wicked cultivator was Ge Wei, and the burly cultivator was one of Ge Wei’s henchmen, named Chen Lin.
Upon hearing Chen Lin’s words, Ge Wei raised an eyebrow and said, “Gone for several days? No wonder we haven’t heard from him. Do you know what mission he was on?”
“It seems to be a mission to investigate the Seven Emotions Forest. He just returned today,” Chen Lin replied.
Ge Wei laughed and said, “Alright, let’s teach him a lesson then. But don’t do it today, let’s do it tomorrow. We’ll teach him a lesson tomorrow, and let him rest today. Don’t beat him to death.” After saying that, Ge Wei couldn’t help but laugh heartily, and Chen Lin also laughed heartily and said, “Okay, Brother Ge, I’ll make arrangements tomorrow. I’ll definitely teach him a good lesson.”
Chen Lin was Ge Wei’s follower, and in principle, he should call Ge Wei “Brother Ge.” However, if he really did call him that, the first person who wouldn’t let him off would be Ge Wei, because calling him that was really disgusting. “Ge” and “Brother” sound similar, but there is a slight difference. If you call him that, it sounds a bit like a coquettish tone. If a woman calls you that, it’s okay, but if a big, burly man calls you “Brother Ge,” it’s just too disgusting. So Ge Wei told Chen Lin and the others to call him “Brother Ge,” instead of “Brother Ge.”
Meanwhile, Ran Wen had already returned to the mission hall. He went straight to turn in the mission, simply stating that the demonic beasts in the Dingyou District had been rather irritable lately and had a larger appetite; other than that, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual. The mission was considered complete, though the reward was quite meager.
However, Ran Wen didn’t care. After leaving the mission hall, he didn’t return to his residence but instead left the main hall and went directly into the Seven Emotions Forest. His actions were reported to Ge Wei.
Upon hearing that Ran Wen had entered the Seven Emotions Forest again, Ge Wei’s expression darkened. He said, “That bastard, is he hiding from us? Chen Lin, go and arrange for anyone to enter the Seven Emotions Forest recently. If anyone does, tell them that if they encounter Ran Wen, they should teach him a lesson. I want to beat him up; even if he’s hiding in the Seven Emotions Forest, it’s useless. I want to hit him, and no matter where he hides, he can’t escape this beating.”
Chen Lin responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. Ran Wen, however, was unaware of all this. He had entered the Seven Emotions Forest not to hide from Ge Wei, but to raise his strength to the Power Level.
This time, Ran Wen didn’t enter through the Dingyou District. Last time, he entered through there to complete a mission. This time, he wasn’t doing a mission, so there was no need to go to the Dingyou District. He simply chose a district close to the Seven Emotions Sword Sect’s headquarters and entered directly.
Ran Wen remained cautious. Upon entering the forest, he slowed his pace, proceeding carefully while constantly observing his surroundings. After walking for about half an hour, he spotted a wild beast. However, this time he didn’t attack. He knew perfectly well that he was about to reach the Qi level, and he didn’t want to kill a wild beast. The energy contained in a wild beast’s body was far inferior to that of a demon beast. He worried that the wild beast’s energy wouldn’t be enough to help him reach the Qi level. Therefore, his target this time was a demon beast. No matter what kind of demon beast it was, as long as it was a demon beast, the energy within it would definitely allow him to break through to the Qi level. It was for this reason that Ran Wen didn’t touch the wild beast.
After walking for another half hour or so, Ran Wen’s eyes lit up. He spotted a demon beast—a demon snake. Its entire body was green, coiled on a large tree; it would be easily missed if one wasn’t paying attention.
Ran Wen looked at the snake and murmured, “When I first received the blessing of the God of Gluttony, the first animal I ate was a snake. I never imagined that this time, after my advancement, I’d still be eating a snake. Hahaha, this must be fate.”
Although he said this, Ran Wen slowly walked towards the snake. The snake noticed him and became wary as he approached. However, it was clearly unaffected
by the God of Gluttony, so it simply watched Ran Wen without attacking. In fact, snakes generally won’t attack humans unless they perceive a threat, as humans are much larger than snakes and cannot swallow them whole.
Ran Wen quickly reached the snake’s base. Just as he reached it, he leaped up, his longsword flashing, and several sword lights slashed towards the snake.
The snake had already moved the moment Ran Wen jumped. Its body nimbly contracted, then it lunged forward, charging straight at Ran Wen. Simultaneously, branches from the tree lashed out at him; the snake seemed to possess wood-based magic, able to control the tree. Ran Wen was startled
, but a moment later he let out a soft shout, his longsword flashing even brighter, stabbing outwards in all directions. The next instant, all the branches were severed by his sword light. The snake, however, contracted its body, then sprang through the air, leaping directly to another tree. Then, it sprang again, leaping to yet another tree.
Ran Wen was stunned. He hadn’t expected the snake to be able to jump between trees so many times. Just as he was realizing this, he suddenly remembered—this wasn’t the time for reflection; the snake was trying to escape.
Thinking of this, Ran Wen cursed under his breath and rushed forward. However, the snake was incredibly fast, leaping and bounding through the trees, and Ran Wen couldn’t catch up.
Looking at the snake, Ran Wen gritted his teeth, and with a flick of his wrist, a talisman appeared in his hand. He waved it, and the talisman ignited, sending a beam of yellow light flying towards the snake.
The snake, which had just sprung from a tree, was struck by the light, its body plummeting to the ground. The talisman was a gravity talisman. The impact
left the snake dazed and confused. Just then, Ran Wen rushed to its side and struck the snake’s vital spot with his sword. Before the snake could recover, Ran Wen’s sword struck it squarely, cleaving it in two.
Ran Wen watched the giant snake writhing on the ground, a hint of joy appearing on his face. He glanced around, then with a flick of his hand, produced several talismans. These were talismans he had prepared beforehand, all earth-elemental runes—earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, talismans for escaping underground). These talismans allowed Ran Wen to burrow underground; one talisman allowed him to descend three zhang (approximately 10 meters) underground. These talismans could be stacked; using several, he could penetrate even deeper.
After taking out the talismans, Ran Wen stood there watching the giant snake’s body. Once the snake’s body was completely still, he dealt with its head. When the head also stopped moving, Ran Wen simply peeled off the snake’s skin and then used a fireball spell to roast the snake’s flesh.
After completing all this, he put away the roasted snake meat and used three Earth Escape Talismans to descend underground. These three talismans allowed him to descend to a depth of about nine zhang (approximately 33 meters), a considerable depth where he felt safe.
He then took out another talisman, a Soil-Pushing Talisman. This type of talisman could push aside soil, creating a space. It was typically used by cultivators when building cave dwellings. One Soil-Pushing Talisman could create a space about three zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in diameter.
This space was sufficient for Ran Wen’s needs. After setting up the space, Ran Wen took out a Steel Earth Talisman. This talisman could harden the surrounding soil like steel, but it had a time limit, allowing the soil in one area to harden for about ten hours. This time was also enough for Ran Wen’s use. Only after
using this talisman did Ran Wen feel relieved. He then took out the roasted snake, already unable to resist, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.
In less than half an hour, he had swallowed the giant snake. He then felt a warm sensation in his stomach, and streams of energy spread from his stomach into his body.
After so much exploration, Ran Wen now understands the function of this energy. If he doesn’t deliberately guide it, it will directly merge into his spiritual energy, transforming into new spiritual energy and increasing its quantity. If he deliberately guides it, then this energy will no longer become spiritual energy. If he introduces this spiritual energy into his head, then it will become his divine sense, or spiritual power. What Ran Wen needs to do this time is guide this energy to help him comprehend the energy of momentum. This is also possible. This energy is pure energy; you can transform it into whatever kind of energy you want. He already has enough spiritual energy; what he lacks is his understanding of momentum. He had tried it before, and this energy could indeed help him comprehend it. To be honest, this was something Ran Wen hadn’t even thought of at the time. He just wanted to try it out, but he didn’t expect to succeed. This is definitely a good thing for him.
Ran Wen immediately guided that energy and began to comprehend his own aura. What he was comprehending was the Seven Emotions Sword Art, the signature technique of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, which all disciples knew. However, under normal circumstances, outer disciples could only learn the first three levels of the technique. Although this technique had a total of twelve levels, outer disciples could only learn the first three levels. But even the first three levels were enough for an outer disciple to cultivate to the Throne level. Cultivating to the peak of the third level would allow one to reach the Throne level, and cultivating to the peak of the second level would allow one to reach the Aura level.
