Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Selling the Field
[Na: Wang Chen (Chen Ergou)]
[Age: 15]
[Cultivation Level: Skin Refinent]
[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod (Level One): 12/100]
Staring at the information displayed in his vision, Wang Chen was at a loss for words for a mont.
The Bell World not only sealed away his original cultivation realm and the flying sword treasure, it had even simplified his most relied upon immortal cultivation panel to the extre.
...
The four major attributes were gone, the skill bar and equipnt bar were all gone, and most importantly, the Human Virtue Heavenly rit System was gone too.
It was like a software had been reverted back to its most primitive version.
But fortunately within the misfortune—the system was still there!
Wang Chen estimated that, according to his current pace of cultivation, he would only need another eight days to break through the second level of “Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod” and step into the Flesh Refining stage.
And a Flesh Refinent martial artist in the Little Stone Village was already a person of so status!
Closing the immortal cultivation panel, Wang Chen went to his family’s small kitchen, took down a smoked strip of at, and started chewing on it vigorously.
After becoming a true martial artist, his physique had greatly strengthened; the completely dehydrated and tough chunk of at was easily torn by his teeth and ground into a minced paste.
Accompanied by a ladle of well water, Wang Chen devoured nearly twenty pounds of smoked mutton in one go.
Keep in mind that the at shrinks by nearly half after being smoked, so his one al was equivalent to eating about thirty-five pounds of fresh at!
And he wasn’t even very full yet.
Wang Chen even felt that he was like a human-shaped gluttonous beast!
At this rate of eating, it wouldn’t take long before he completely devoured the “consolation money” given by Chen Qiaoshan.
But once there was no at to eat, he feared he would be unable to continue practicing the “Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod”.
The problem was, if he didn’t find a way to quickly increase his strength, going out to hunt was akin to seeking his own death!
It felt like he was trapped in a dead end.
Bang! Bang!
Just as Wang Chen was pondering, the courtyard gate was knocked loudly from the outside.
Wang Chen furrowed his brows and went out to open the door.
Standing at the door was a group of people, including neighbors as well as so of the village elders.
One of the elders asked with a grave voice, “Doggie, are you alright?”
Wang Chen, puzzled: “I’m fine, Seventh Uncle, may I ask what brings you here?”
The elder sighed, “Doggie, your father had an accident. It’s normal for you to be sad and upset, but now you’re on your own at ho, and you have to take care of yourself.”
He paused, then added, “At the very least, you cannot abandon the farmland, or what will you eat next year?”
Only then did Wang Chen rember he had three mu and two parts of land that hadn’t been tended to.
The weeds in the yam fields grew rapidly, and it was imperative to weed them out every day, further, yams needed daily watering.
Otherwise there would certainly be a poor harvest.
Wang Chen hadn’t gone to the fields for two days, and reckoned that the situation there was probably quite bad.
Then he heard Seventh Uncle continue: “Yesterday your Fourth Uncle ca to find , said he wanted to take you in and care for you out of kindness, but you didn’t appreciate it and even hit him, I think…”
“Seventh Uncle!”
Wang Chen interrupted him: “I don’t want to farm anymore.”
His gaze turned to the onlooking neighbors as he declared loudly, “If anyone can give five hundred pounds of cured at, these three mu and two parts of land are his!”
Wang Chen had had enough of farming, and he couldn’t afford to spend his valuable ti and energy on the fields.
Better to exchange it for sothing substantial than to let it go to waste!
No sooner had Wang Chen finished speaking, the surrounding crowd erupted into a buzz.
Everyone thought Wang Chen had lost his mind.
“Doggie, are you joking?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, kid, how can you sell the farmland!”
“Absurd!”
But many people also showed a look of temptation.
If there was anything in Little Stone Village that was considered the most precious, it was definitely the over five hundred mu of enclosed fields to the east of the village.
These fields, used for planting mountain yams, were the foundation upon which the hundred or so families in the village relied for their survival, and under normal circumstances, no one was willing to sell or transfer them.
Since the hunting team’s yield was not stable, mountain yams guaranteed the most basic food supply, ensuring that a family wouldn’t starve to death.
Just after Chen Qiaoshan died, his son wanted to sell the family’s fields, which so people saw as downright outrageous and unfilial.
Seventh Uncle beat his chest and stamped his feet, “Doggie, have you lost your mind?”
He was gathering his energy into his Dantian to give Wang Chen a stern scolding, when Wang Chen rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arm.
He exerted strength, and the muscles on his arm bulged remarkably, also displaying a light bronze color.
“I’ve already beco a Skin Refinent Martial Artist!”
Wang Chen said indifferently, “Five hundred jin of smoked at is enough for to cultivate to the Flesh Refining Realm, and to join the village’s hunting team.”
He showed off a little, and everyone present, including Seventh Uncle, was stunned.
Nobody expected that the Chen Family’s youngster had actually beco a Martial Artist!
Then his unwillingness to farm the fields seed quite reasonable.
Soone muttered softly, “Breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm isn’t that easy!”
A realm is a world apart; if breaking through was so easy, Little Stone Village wouldn’t have rely twenty-seven Flesh Refinent Martial Artists.
Now there were twenty-six.
But no one could be sure that Wang Chen definitely couldn’t do it.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say; even Seventh Uncle’s expression was sowhat sheepish.
He had brought people to Wang Chen’s doorstep with intentions and plans in mind.
But now that Wang Chen had such capability and ambition, he found it hard to exert his seniority.
Wang Chen said, “Five hundred jin of smoked at in exchange for three mu and two parts of land, first co first served!”
Having said that, he paid no more attention to the group at the door and turned back to his room.
The crowd dispersed.
So had a secretive look, so eyes shone with excitent, and others pulled their neighbors aside for a whispered conversation.
The matter of Chen Ergou from the Chen Family wanting to trade three mu and two parts of his family land for smoked at spread quickly through Little Stone Village, as if it had wings.
And before the day turned dark, people were already knocking on Wang Chen’s door.
The visitors were from the Shi Family.
The Shi Family was that of the village head, Shi Laowu, who was also the strongest person in Little Stone Village, the only Bone Refinent Realm Martial Artist.
Of course, it wasn’t Shi Laowu who ca, but the person brought five hundred jin of smoked at.
And a Mountain Splitter Blade!
This five hundred jin of smoked at and the blade were what the Shi Family offered in exchange for Wang Chen’s family land.
“Village Head Shi heard about your situation, consider this blade a little sothing extra,” said the Shi Family mber to Wang Chen. “We hope you will work hard and achieve sothing in the martial path!”
With the other party being so considerate, what could Wang Chen say? He imdiately signed the contract transferring the land ownership.
It wasn’t long after the Shi Family mber left that more people ca knocking on the door to trade.
Five hundred jin of smoked at was a lot, but if several families pooled their resources, they could co up with it.
Learning that the village head had already taken the opportunity, they could only leave in disappointnt.
To avoid further disturbances, Wang Chen simply closed his door and imrsed himself in intensive training at ho.
He secluded himself for seven days.
He finished eating the five hundred jin of smoked at he had exchanged for the land and successfully broke through to the Flesh Refining Realm!
