Chapter 2623 - 1511:

Ever since he acquired the planting and breeding space, he became diligent, dedicating time every day to managing the planting space, tending to crops and feeding grass to cattle, sheep, and horses.

Jiang Congtang could dominate the entire space, roasting lamb, without needing a grill.

He could already control his Fireball Technique, sprinkling spices during the process of roasting whole lamb, those seasonings that enhance the deliciousness of the food.

Previously, Jiang Congtang didn’t possess culinary skills; however, after having undertaken numerous tasks, some of which involved working as a cook.

Initially, he only assisted the master chefs, slowly learning knife skills and culinary techniques.

Culinary skills are classified as assistant, beginner, intermediate, and advanced chef.

Jiang Congtang discovered that some Immortal Elders of the Spirit Immortal Sect also greatly valued the pleasure derived from food.

Even if his abilities aren’t outstanding, successfully becoming an advanced chef would attract the attention of Immortal Elders, holding a high status within the Immortal Sect.

Tasks undertaken in the Immortal Sect are also rewarded based on levels.

The higher the reward level, the more cultivation resources and money one receives.

Jiang Congtang relentlessly acquired various minor skills to ensure that he had multiple skills to sustain himself.

Without any background, only by outworking others by one point, and discarding the useless body, could he attain greater cultivation capabilities.

His physique has now changed, and cultivating in the space for another month has allowed him to progress from Mid Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

...

Since Jiang Congtang’s physical transformation, one month of practice warranted advancement by a small stage, and other minor skills are also improving.

He feels quite content, albeit it’s merely what he believes in his heart.

Jiang Tang..., is he really content with just this?

Isn’t it a waste of much time?

In Jiang Tang’s mind, Jiang Congtang must reach the Nascent Soul Stage within a year.

Only upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage can Jiang Congtang roam freely outside.

Even though the Nascent Soul Stage isn’t exceedingly powerful, according to Jiang Tang, without reaching the Ocean Wheel stage, don’t even think of venturing out alone.

Let alone exposing abilities, dreaming of searching for loved ones and seeking revenge alone.

Jiang Tang aims to display personal charm through Jiang Congtang to entice more women from the Martial World, and attract high-skilled women to be infatuated with him.

Jiang Congtang still has to work harder.

At this point, Jiang Congtang doesn’t realize that Jiang Tang helps him only to witness charm displayed through him, attracting more women, and becoming a charismatic cultivator.

At this moment, Jiang Congtang only notices the roasted whole lamb emitting a delectable aroma.

He tears off a leg of lamb, devouring the meat in large mouthfuls.

In this instance, Jiang Congtang feels extraordinarily blissful.

And at this moment, he forgets the hardships, forgets the hatred.

Wholeheartedly savoring the flavor.

Time hasn’t etched excessive marks of suffering on Jiang Congtang’s face.

After satisfying his hunger with meat, Jiang Congtang drinks Spiritual Spring Water, and then wants to inspect his current appearance.

A voice inside tells him that now he has a refuge and the means for advancement, wondering whether he should alter his appearance.

Anyway, it’s not to meet outsiders; he merely wishes for himself to see a pleasing image.

Jiang Congtang also wants to know what his true appearance is.

Disguising does not mean retaining always tanned skin.

Even under the sun, cultivators’ skin loses its sheen.

However, during cultivation, after consuming Pills, the skin will be altered, regaining its lost luster.

Jiang Congtang has not ventured outside to bask under the sun for a long time, cultivating in the planting space where there’s no sunlight.

He refuses to believe his skin is tanned; in his memory, he was a fair-skinned child.

Like a child appearing in New Year’s paintings.

To remove traces of disguising, Jiang Congtang makes a de-masking potion for himself using Medicinal Herbs.

Using this de-masking potion for disguise, and when it fails, he would reapply disguise anew.

Throughout these dozen years, he disguised himself once annually.

When the potion fails, he returns to his original appearance, restoring the original color of his skin.

Each year grows taller, revealing skin with its original color.

Back then, Jiang Congtang didn’t possess a mirror, unable to view his appearance.

Nor dared to inspect before others.

And especially not bathe openly with others.

After creating the potion, Jiang Congtang fills a self-made wooden barrel to soak his entire body inside.

Washing his face and hair as well.

After soaking for a quarter of an hour, he discards the potion.

Refills the wooden barrel with Spiritual Spring Water, soaking his body anew.

Absorbing the spiritual energy within the Spiritual Spring Water into his body.

Afterward, he dresses up again, fabricating a Magic Artifact mirror with materials.

This Magic Artifact mirror can adjust its size.

Upon Jiang Congtang’s word, "enlarge," the mirror enlarges, showing his full body.

Only now does he see his appearance, fair skin like a peeled egg, though already past sixteen, also growing a small mustache.

But since he washed with potion and soaked in Spiritual Spring Water, the mustache is removed.

Watching his appearance, Jiang Congtang, if not for his Adam’s apple, would resemble a girl.

Looking at this monstrous face in front of him, Jiang Congtang doesn’t scorn it.

Believing he should indeed grow like this.

Observing the monster-like face before him, and contrasting with childhood, now this face appears before foes, they might not recognize it.

Perhaps inheriting their parents’ good features, not necessarily resembling them.

Especially since their parents’ current whereabouts are unknown.

If alive, they should be seeking him out.

After indulging in his facial admiration for a while, Jiang Congtang acknowledges that he is indeed a monster, combined with his tall stature, already grown so well by sixteen.

In the secular world, sixteen is the age to start a family and establish a career.

Cultivators have no such concerns; perhaps at sixteen, they attract each other, yet he doesn’t entertain other thoughts at this age.

Jiang Congtang continues to remember his aim now is to elevate his talents, and enhance his abilities.

Only then does he stand a chance for revenge.

Who knows what level Jiang Congtang currently holds? This monster-like face upon unveiling would be perilous.

A woman’s beauty paired with low abilities poses danger.

Men face similar risks.

Don’t assume a well-looking man stepping outside evades danger.

That mindset is erroneous.

High-skilled elders include unscrupulous individuals aiming to keep attractive men as their concubines.

Jiang Congtang hasn’t traversed outside, yet heard countless tales as a child.

Within childhood memories, during their initial lessons.

Elders within the family narrated stories of the outside world, emphasizing the risks faced by young cultivators being kidnapped.

Such kidnappings don’t stem from nurturing intentions; some lose their Spiritual Roots, absorbing their organs.

The perils within the Martial World were taught early.

Advising not to wander heedlessly, acknowledging the fascinating yet dangerous outside world.

After esteeming his appearance momentarily, Jiang Congtang quiets his mind and diligently continues planting herbs, vegetables.

Planting grain.

Harvest after harvest of grains, vegetables, and herbs, filling the warehouses one by one; that’s his confidence.

This planting space hasn’t been upgraded to the point where cultivation and harvesting can occur by mere thought, requiring his spiritual energy, utilizing it meticulously.

Although working with spells and abilities consumes bodily spiritual energy, it’s unquestionably swifter compared to ordinary farming.

Due to rapid space flow, if he doesn’t work diligently, slightly less efficient, planting here isn’t finished before there is a harvest.

If not expedited, there simply wouldn’t be enough time for cultivation.

For learning minor skills.

Since acquiring the planting space, Jiang Congtang hasn’t truly slept.

He’s industrious, persistent, with abundant stocks surrounding him, holding onto unsold items, grains, meat, supplies are his assurance.

With this planting space, Pills are available for cultivation; lacking funds doesn’t matter, cultivation doesn’t necessitate monetary usage.
