Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16522
Chapter 16520: The Pine Forest
Zhao Hai was taken aback by his words. He hadn’t expected it to be like this, which surprised him greatly. He glanced at the cultivator and said, “Fellow Daoist, could you sell me a piece of land? I don’t need much, just a small plot will do.”
The cultivator was also surprised by Zhao Hai’s words, then looked at him and said, “Oh? I’ve never sold anything before. What will you use for the transaction, Fellow Daoist?” Zhao
Hai smiled wryly and said, “As you know, Fellow Daoist, I just ascended here. Besides some things I brought from the lower realm… ” “Besides that, there’s nothing else. If you need anything, I have spirit stones and magic artifacts. What do you need?”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the cultivator’s eyes lit up. He immediately said, “Magic artifacts are useless here. Even the best magic artifacts from the lower realm are useless here. Spirit stones, however, are somewhat useful. How about this: 100,000 spirit stones for a piece this big? What do you think?” With that, the cultivator moved his hand and dug a fist-sized piece of soil from the rock-like ground beneath his feet.
100,000 spirit stones could only buy a fist-sized piece of soil, which was truly unexpected for Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai didn’t say anything more and nodded, saying, “Alright, I still have 100,000 spirit stones.” With that, Zhao Hai moved his hand and took out a spatial bag, which he tossed to the cultivator, who in turn tossed the clump of soil back to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai took the soil, but it felt heavy in his hand. It was much heavier than metal. Most importantly, the soil was not as hard as stone as Zhao Hai had imagined. It was just a piece of soil, and it was quite loose. This surprised Zhao Hai.
The cultivator took the spatial bag, opened it, and glanced inside. After looking at it, he smiled slightly, then put the bag away. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Fellow Daoist, remember, this kind of soil cannot be put into the spatial equipment we brought up from the lower realm. That equipment simply cannot hold this kind of soil. If you put it in, it will destroy your equipment and fall out. The good news is it won’t enter the subspace, but the bad news is your equipment will be destroyed.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback, then immediately nodded and said, “I see, thank you for the reminder.”
The cultivator nodded, then looked at Zhao Hai and said, “There’s one more thing I need to tell you first. Remember, when trading, you must exchange money for goods. For example, just now, if you gave me spirit stones but I didn’t give you the soil, you couldn’t do anything to me. Don’t forget, you can’t fight here. This place will protect us, but it will also protect those who renege on their debts, so be careful.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He really hadn’t thought that much about it. The main reason was that spirit stones were nothing to him; he could have as many as he wanted. He only wanted to buy a piece of soil to study, so he didn’t care much about this transaction and hadn’t thought much about it.
Upon hearing the cultivator’s words, he immediately understood what the cultivator meant. He quickly said, “Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have suffered a loss in the future.”
The cultivator waved his hand and said, “You’re too kind. In the God Realm, people generally don’t use their real names. When I was in the lower realm, I ascended because I had a deep understanding of the Pine Forest Sword Intent Law. So here, you can call me Pine Forest.”
Zhao Hai nodded and then said, “Just call me Formation. I have a deep understanding of formations.” Zhao Hai didn’t say that his specialty was runes, but rather formations. One must always be wary of others. Of course, he wouldn’t reveal his true trump card. Just like when he fought against the God of Creation and the others, he never used runes and relied entirely on his own power, making people think he was a body cultivator. This was to avoid exposing his trump card.
When the God of Creation and the others fought Zhao Hai in the lower realm, Zhao Hai used runes. However, when they fought Zhao Hai in the divine realm, he used raw power. They didn’t suspect anything. In their view, Zhao Hai might not have used his full strength in the lower realm, but in the divine realm, he had to use his full power. Therefore, Zhao Hai was using raw power, so his true trump card was raw power. They didn’t think Zhao Hai’s true trump card was actually runes.
When Song Lin heard Zhao Hai say this, his eyes lit up. He immediately said to Zhao Hai, “A magic array? You really have a deep understanding of the laws? Did you ascend to this realm because of a magic array?” He seemed very excited, which surprised Zhao Hai. He looked at the cultivator with some confusion and said, “It’s a magic array, so what?”
“Hahahaha.” The cultivator laughed loudly and then said, “Good, great! Magic arrays are good! Magic arrays are so good!”
Zhao Hai looked at him and was even more confused, not understanding what he meant. Looking at Zhao Hai, Song Lin couldn’t help but smile slightly and said, “Fellow Daoist, your law is truly invaluable. You see, those of us who ascended from the lower realms, while perhaps not bad in any way, really don’t know much about magic arrays. Yet, we need magic arrays to establish our own divine kingdoms. So, many people have no choice but to go to the Black Sea Market to find someone who knows magic arrays to help them set them up. And the fees they charge for setting up magic arrays are extremely high. Fellow Daoist, you know how to set up magic arrays, so you’ll make a fortune just by doing that in the future.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai was quite surprised, but then he understood what was going on. Indeed, cultivators like Song Lin must have devoted all their energy to mastering their own laws while in the lower realms; otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to ascend. Furthermore,
magic arrays are an extremely difficult skill. Understanding them requires a vast amount of time and energy. Except for a few who have turned magic arrays into cultivation techniques, most cultivators who enjoy studying them don’t end up well and may die young.
Because of this, cultivators who truly study magic arrays rarely ascend, which is why there are very few gods in the God Realm who know magic arrays.
However, in the God Realm, if you want to build a divine kingdom, you need magic arrays. Finding someone who knows magic arrays isn’t impossible; you can find them in the market. But usually, you won’t find gods who know magic arrays, but rather their subordinates.
Like the God of Trade, whose divine kingdom is vast and inhabited by many, some of whom possess the art of magic arrays. These individuals can set up arrays and help others, earning a great deal of spirit stones in the process.
In the divine realm, the art of magic arrays is extremely important, so when Song Lin heard that Zhao Hai knew it, he was overjoyed.
Song Lin quickly realized his lapse in composure and immediately said, “I’m sorry, I lost my composure. I was just too happy. Fellow Daoist, I see you’ve entered the Black Sea, which means you have some understanding of it. And have you offended someone, which is why you’ve come to hide here?”
Zhao Hai was taken aback, unsure why Song Lin asked this. He looked at Song Lin warily and asked, “What do you mean, Fellow Daoist?”
Song Lin quickly replied, “Fellow Daoist, please don’t misunderstand. I mean nothing by it. I just wanted to tell you that we people in the Black Sea have formed an alliance. If you’re willing…” “I can introduce you to this alliance. Once you join, everyone in the alliance will help you if you need anything. After all, you can’t hide in the Black Sea forever, and neither can we. We’ll definitely have to go out into the world eventually. Even when we’re out there, we’ll still be in the same alliance, so we can look out for each other. What do you think?”
Zhao Hai was taken aback when he heard this, but he did think that this alliance seemed pretty good. If they really formed this alliance, he would have many more allies, which would be beneficial to him.
Upon thinking of this, Zhao Hai immediately said, “Great! That’s a good suggestion.”
Song Lin was even more delighted to hear Zhao Hai’s words. He smiled and said, “It’s good that you agree, Fellow Daoist. Let’s go meet the others in the alliance now. I think they’ll be very willing to let you join.”
With that, Song Lin moved swiftly, appearing beside the piece of land. He then pushed against the land, flying forward. Zhao Hai watched him and smiled slightly, saying nothing more. These beings, incredibly powerful and godlike in the lower realms, were actually pitiful figures in the God Realm, lacking even the spatial equipment of the God Realm. Who would believe this? Those in the lower realms would probably never believe it, even if they were beaten to death.
Although Song Lin was pushing the clod of earth, he didn’t seem embarrassed at all. He turned to look at Zhao Hai and continued, “All of us are at the Wandering God or Ghost God level. There aren’t any higher levels. Like me, I’m still at the Wandering God level. The reason I’m gathering this earth is to prepare for building my own divine kingdom in the future. Although I don’t know when I’ll be able to build my divine kingdom, I still need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, if I have the ability to build my divine kingdom later but don’t have the materials, wouldn’t that be a pity? So now I still need to gather the earth myself. Many fellow Daoists living in the Black Sea are doing the same thing.”
Zhao Hai nodded upon hearing this, and then asked curiously, “How long has it been since Fellow Daoist Song Lin ascended?”
Song Lin smiled and said, “Fifteen years, I think. I don’t remember exactly.” (End of Chapter)
