Bringing the farm to another world

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 said to another cultivator who was fairly handsome, but whose face had a sinister air about him.

The cultivator with the sinister look on his face was Ge Wei, while 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, "He's been gone for several days? No wonder we haven't heard from him these past few days. Do you know what mission he's been on?"

"It seems to be a mission to check on the situation in the Seven Emotions Forest. I just got back today," Chen Lin said.

Ge Wei laughed and said, "Alright, let's teach him a lesson then. But don't do it today, let's do it tomorrow. Let him rest today, but 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 and I'll definitely teach him a good lesson."

Chen Lin was Ge Wei's follower, so logically he should call Ge Wei "Brother Ge." However, if he did, Ge Wei would be the first to object to him, because it was just too disgusting. "Ge" and "brother" sound similar, but there's a slight difference. If you called him that, it would sound a bit like you were being coquettish. If a woman called you that, it would be okay, but if a big, burly man called you "Brother Ge," it would be disgusting. So Ge Wei made Chen Lin and the others 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, only saying that the monsters in the Dingyou District had been quite irritable and had a large appetite recently. Apart from that, he had not found anything unusual, and that was considered the mission completed. Of course, the reward was also very small.

However, Ran Wen didn't care. After leaving the mission hall, he didn't go back to his residence. Instead, he left the main hall and went straight 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 turned grim. He then said, "That bastard, is he hiding from us? Chen Lin, go and arrange for someone 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 know that even if he's hiding in the Seven Emotions Forest, it's useless. I want to beat him up, and no matter where he hides, he can't escape this beating."

Chen Lin responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. Ran Wen was unaware of this. He entered the Seven Emotions Forest not to hide from Ge Wei, but to raise his strength to the level of the "Power" level.

This time, Ran Wen entered the Seven Emotions Forest, but he didn't enter through the Dingyou District. The reason he entered through there last time was to do a mission. This time, he wasn't doing a mission, so there was no need to go to the Dingyou District. He just randomly found a district close to the Seven Emotions Sword Sect's main hall and went in directly.

Ran Wen remained cautious. After entering the forest, he slowed down and proceeded carefully, constantly observing his surroundings. After walking for about half an hour, he spotted a wild beast. However, this time he didn't make a move. He knew very 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 for him to 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 about half an hour, Ran Wen's eyes lit up. He spotted a demonic beast, a serpent whose entire body was green. It was coiled on a large tree, and you wouldn't notice it if you weren'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 thought that this time, when I advanced, I would eat a snake again. Hahaha, this must be fate."

Despite saying that, Ran Wen slowly walked towards the snake. The snake noticed Ran Wen and became wary as he approached. However, the snake was clearly not affected by the God of Gluttony, so it just looked at Ran Wen and did not attack him.

In fact, under normal circumstances, snakes will not attack humans unless they feel threatened by them, because humans are much larger than ordinary snakes and cannot swallow them whole, so they will not attack humans.

Ran Wen quickly reached the snake's base. As soon as he did, he leaped up, his longsword flashing, unleashing several sword beams that slashed towards the snake. The snake had already moved when Ran Wen jumped; it nimbly contracted its body and then lunged forward, charging straight at him. Simultaneously, branches from the tree lashed out at Ran Wen; the snake seemed to possess wood-based magic and could control the tree.

Ran Wen was startled, but the next moment he let out a soft shout, and the sword light in his hand increased, stabbing straight in all directions. The next moment, all the branches were cut down by his sword light, while the snake shrank its body, then sprang in the air and jumped directly to another tree. Then it sprang again and jumped to another tree.

Ran Wen was taken aback. He hadn't expected the snake to be able to jump around on the tree. Just as he was realizing this, he suddenly remembered that this wasn't the time to be amazed; the snake was trying to escape.

Thinking of this, Ran Wen cursed under his breath and rushed over, but the snake was surprisingly fast. It kept leaping and bounding forward on the tree, and Ran Wen couldn't catch up with it for a while.

Ran Wen looked at the snake, gritted his teeth, and then with a flick of his hand, a talisman appeared in his hand. He then waved his hand, and the talisman immediately burst into flames. A beam of yellow light flew straight towards the giant snake.

The giant snake had just sprung up from a tree when the yellow light struck it directly. Its body sank sharply and fell to the ground. The talisman was actually a gravity talisman.

The impact left the giant snake dazed and confused. At that moment, Ran Wen rushed to the snake's side and struck it squarely on its 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 talismans were prepared in advance, all earth-elemental runes, specifically earth-遁 (earth-遁) talismans. These talismans allowed Ran Wen to burrow underground; one talisman allowed him to descend three zhang (approximately 10 meters) underground. Of course, these talismans could be stacked; using several would allow him to penetrate even deeper underground.

After taking out the talisman, Ran Wen stood there watching the snake's body. Once the snake's body was completely still, he dealt with the snake's head. When the snake's head also stopped moving, Ran Wen peeled off the snake's skin and then used a fireball spell to roast the snake's flesh.

After doing all this, he put away the roasted snake meat and then used three Earth Escape Talismans to enter the ground. Three Earth Escape Talismans allowed him to go about nine zhang (approximately 33 meters) underground, which was quite deep, and he was still very safe there.

Then he took out another talisman and used it directly. It was a soil-dispersing talisman, which could make the soil seem to be pushed aside, directly forming a space. This kind of talisman is usually used by cultivators when building cave dwellings. One soil-dispersing talisman can create a space with a diameter of about three zhang.

This space was enough for Ran Wen's use. After setting up the space, Ran Wen took out a Steel Earth Talisman. This talisman could make the surrounding soil as hard as steel, but it had a time limit. It could harden the soil in a certain place for about ten hours, which was enough time for Ran Wen to use.

Ran Wen felt relieved after using the talisman. He then took out the roasted snake and, unable to contain himself any longer, 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.
