Chapter 984: Spirit Rice Harvest (Second Release, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions) Chapter 984: Spirit Rice Harvest (Second Release, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions) Under the night sky.


    Pei Jinye sat in the cultivation room.


    After the breathing method had ended.


    Taking advantage of the remaining time, he pulled up the Attribute Panel.


    Having not appeared in the real world for seven days, although he’d left quite a mess, the bi-daily Attribute Light Groups hadn’t disappeared but had accumulated.


    He picked up three Attribute Light Groups along the way.


    Among them were two Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments and an Attribute Point total of 1200.


    His training in Body Technique had benefited from his adventures in the Different World.


    It was only today, upon discovering the life valve within his body, that Pei Jinye felt confident in the path he had chosen.


    Opening the life valve to evolve his life level.


    This sort of evolution wasn’t like improving through cultivation techniques but was an all-encompassing evolution.


    “Now, what can’t be confirmed is whether Star Ring has mastered this method of evolution…”


    “Something worth noting is…”


    Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.


    He clearly remembered that at the beginning of the year, Star Ring suddenly changed the categorization of cultivation levels, redefining the rank from Extraordinary First to Ninth Rank.


    Pei Jinye had compared them in secret.


    The new Ninth Rank was clearly stronger than the old version.


    This meant that the current upper limit for power was still increasing, but it was not yet sufficient to reach the Extraordinary Tenth Rank.


    “According to the standards of the Different World, purely in terms of the Body Technique System, their First Level Strongman’s upper limit is higher than a Federation Ninth Rank Awakener, but Martial Artists in Federation World can use Extraordinary powers. This is the difference and the variable.”


    Pei Jinye carefully felt it.


    With his current strength, he could now completely restrain a Second-level Martial Artist from the Different World.


    After his breakthrough, even a Quasi-First Level Martial Artist wouldn’t be his opponent.


    As for a First-level Martial Artist from the Different World…


    Pei Jinye wasn’t entirely confident.


    “Killing and battling are not the goal; cultivation resources are what I need most!”


    “Training in Body Technique has also essentially reached a bottleneck; most of these cultivation techniques have been improved to the Breaking the Limit level, and advancing further is difficult unless I could cultivate a top-level technique like “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses” to Breaking the Limit level…”


    “Time, I need more time.”


    “I should establish stability as much as possible, better to not make moves unless necessary, no need to draw attention.”


    “As for the Old Gods Association…”


    Pei Jinye appeared thoughtful.


    Only Elder Wuji knew about his public identity.


    Even Silver Art and Little Red Luo had only seen him after he had disguised himself.


    In the evening, he had a long chat with Elder Wuji.


    The other party’s attitude was clear and supportive of his decisions.


    This gave Pei Jinye some relief.


    Thankfully, Elder Wuji was willing to stand by his side.


    Now, to devote some time to serious cultivation.


    To break through to the Eighth Rank as soon as possible.


    Under the night sky.


    Pei Jinye returned to the dormitory, holding a sumptuous evening snack in his hand.


    Liu Limin came over, attracted by the smell.


    “Where’s Cao Yingjun?”


    “He took a job and said he’d be back later.” Liu Limin grabbed a skewer, stood up, and took a bottle of water from his drawer, handing it to Pei Jinye.


    “Lao Cao is really getting stronger and stronger…”


    “How so?” Pei Jinye looked over.


    Liu Limin leaned in and whispered, “A couple of days ago, Lao Cao achieved a breakthrough. He is now a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner. That’s caused quite a stir in our university. Many people from the student council are also looking for him to refine artifacts; he’s really making a fortune every day.”


    Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised that Cao Yingjun would achieve a breakthrough, smiling he said: “He’s always been diligent; his breakthrough is an accumulation of hard work. I see that you’re almost there too.”


    Hearing this, Liu Limin grinned, “I have a feeling that I’ll break through this month. What about you, Brother Pei? You must be close too, right?”


    “Very close,” Pei Jinye nodded, “In about three months.”


    Liu Limin was startled.


    He quickly changed the subject, “We have a day off tomorrow, want to practice privately?”


    Pei Jinye declined his invitation to the training team: “I’m going home tomorrow.”


    “Wait for your return.”


    …


    …


    A total of five days off.


    On the first day, Pei Jinye returned to Da Peng City.


    After seeing his parents, he met up with Brother Bi and Zhou Ye.


    “What about Gu Wutong?”


    “He’s gone to train in Dawn City; he estimates it will take him about half a year to return. That guy said he’d come to see you in Dragon City for training once he achieves a breakthrough.”


    Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle at that.


    In the afternoon.


    Pei Jinye changed his identity and went to the Jiang family.


    Zhong Xuan suddenly froze: “Master?”


    He hastily walked over, even somewhat teary-eyed.


    “How have you been?”


    His memory of Master was still from a few months ago.


    Since starting seclusion, other than sending one message halfway through, there had been no news, which made him somewhat worried.


    Suddenly seeing him appear was an incredibly pleasant surprise.


    “I’m fine,” Pei Jinye looked at him, “What are you blubbering about? Go, prepare some medicinal cuisine.”


    “Yes, Master, I’ll arrange that for you right away.”


    Zhong Xuan couldn’t help but cry tears of joy as he hurried to make arrangements.


    Pei Jinye went to the plantation at the back mountain.


    Calculating the time, the Spirit Rice planted here should be ripe.


    He walked into the talisman array.


    Instantly, a fragrance mixed with rice and bamboo wafted through the air.


    “Very good, very good.”


    Pei Jinye was in an excellent mood.


    He moved forward.


    Snapping a section of bamboo, the bamboo tube burst open instantly, and the Spirit Rice inside spilled out like flowing sand.


    It was a method of growing Spirit Rice he had found in an ancient tome, and now having tested it, it proved to be truly effective.


    He reached out and grabbed the Spirit Rice in his hand.


    Pei Jinye carefully discerned and sensed that these grains of Spirit Rice were full and plump; they could even be eaten directly without any additional preparation.


    Upon touching his tongue, the Spirit Rice melted immediately, releasing a refreshing fragrance that contained a burst of energy.


    Pei Jinye looked at his attribute panel.


    It had increased by 2 points.


    And this was just from a single grain of Spirit Rice, let alone the considerable quantity available within this bamboo forest.


    Yet, Pei Jinye wasn’t fully relying on this Spirit Rice to enhance his cultivation.


    He considered it merely an unexpected delight.


    Twenty minutes later, having prepared a medicinal meal and consumed a small bowl of Spirit Rice, Pei Jinye felt the energy brimming within him.


    “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses” and “Heaven and Earth Longevity Art” began operating on their own.


    The effect was noticeable.


    About an hour later.


    Jiang Xinrun and Feng Jiao had both appeared in the back mountain.


    “Family Head.”


    “Master.”


    Both greeted him respectfully.


    Each displayed a different demeanor at the appearance of Pei Jinye.


    Jiang Xinrun hoped for further guidance, his look filled with respectful anticipation.


    While Feng Jiao showed more fear, an instinctive reverence for the Family Head.


    “It’s been a while; your cultivation seems passable, no slacking off.”


    Jiang Xinrun and Feng Jiao immediately bowed their heads and hastily expressed that they dared not be lazy.


    “Enough of this idle talk, start running your cultivation techniques, I don’t have much time,” Pei Jinye interrupted their loyalty affirmations.


    Several minutes later.


    Jiang Xinrun and Feng Jiao had gained many insights from Pei Jinye.


    Soon after.


    Pei Jinye passed them each a small bag of Spirit Rice.


    “This Spirit Rice can accelerate your cultivation, consume one grain per day, eat immediately upon opening the bag, and begin cultivating right after eating it. Given your current physical state, these effects should last about half an hour.”


    Jiang Xinrun and Feng Jiao felt immensely surprised.


    After they had left, Lin Xinorth arrived in haste.


    “Boss.”


    He bowed his head respectfully.


    Then he started reporting the recent affairs of the corporation, generally maintaining steady progress.


    Furthermore.


    The families secretly controlled by Pei Jinye, under Lin Xinorth’s push, had established a Business Alliance, a task originally assigned by Pei Jinye now satisfactorily completed.


    The purpose of establishing the Business Alliance was to consolidate Pei Jinye’s powers, as he needed to subtly control some plantations.


    After all, this was reality.


    Departing reality, even if enjoying various Heavenly Treasures in Different World, without the Attribute Light Group meant missing out on the greatest aid.


    Thus, starting plantations in reality was essential.


    The Jiang family alone wasn’t enough to support Pei Jinye’s ideal state.


    And it was necessary to avoid attracting the Federation’s attention.


    Thus, various forces needed to cooperate.


    These matters had all been entrusted to Lin Xinorth, whose capability Pei Jinye recognized.


    He tossed over a small bag of Spirit Rice.


    “Your cultivation also needs proper enhancement. This is Spirit Rice, it can speed up your cultivation…”


    Lin Xinorth was immensely grateful, “Thank you, Boss, for your generous gift…”


    After settling these matters, Pei Jinye resumed his secluded cultivation.


    Based on the resources he currently controlled, within three months he would definitely break through to the Extraordinary Eighth Rank realm!


    Overnight, his three attribute values skyrocketed by five thousand points!


    The next morning.


    Pei Jinye brought thirty kilograms of Spirit Rice back home.


    Pei Donglai was in the kitchen cooking.


    Mother Pei had a noticeable belly.


    Pei Jinye didn’t stay long, after checking Mother Pei’s condition and leaving behind some protective talisman paper, he left.


    Investigation Team’s Base.


    Ms. Xu Jing was somewhat surprised to see Pei Jinye.


    “Are you on leave?”


    “Yes, I just wanted to check in at home,” Pei Jinye nodded.


    “It doesn’t look like much has changed, has Dragon City martial arts university started to slack off?” Ms. Xu Jing remarked skeptically.


    Pei Jinye couldn’t help but laugh: “That’s not the case.”


    After a brief chat, Pei Jinye got to the point: “When I was in Dragon City, their Investigation Team requisitioned me, did you know about this?”


    Ms. Xu Jing nodded: “I only found out about it later; the order came directly from Central Continent Headquarters, I’ve seen it and there was no issue.”


    As she spoke, she took out a bag from the drawer and handed it over.


    “It’s not convenient to discuss these things over the phone, so I prepared in advance.”


    Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.


    Ms. Xu Jing just shook her head: “After all, I practically begged you to join our Investigation Team; there are some things I definitely can’t ignore. However, this matter…”


    She seemed to have something difficult to express.


    Pei Jinye just smiled: “I didn’t run into any trouble, I’m just checking in, there’s no scheme set up, otherwise I’d be anxious during the training, and that’d be pointless.”


    Ms. Xu Jing understood this logic: “It’s indeed annoying. I’ve also prepared the report, just waiting for approval from Central Continent. You were supposed to be going for training, who has time to accompany them in these matters? And I don’t believe that Dragon City has no experts left? If the capital of the Federation is so incapable, it might as well have fallen long ago.”


    Pei Jinye watched her get indignant, the words he meant to say becoming unspeakable.


    He looked at the report.


    The person in charge who had signed from Da Peng City Investigation Team was Minister Gao, also connected with Judgement Place.


    The order was directly issued by Central Continent Investigation Team Headquarters.

    It meant Dragon City had simply mentioned it and Central Continent didn’t even hesitate before selling him out.


    Pei Jinye scoffed internally.


    And such a trivial thing supposed to make him give his utmost?


    He returned the documents.


    Ms. Xu Jing was also worried that he might harbor other thoughts, so she consoled him a bit, but whether Pei Jinye listened or not, she couldn’t know.
