<h4>Chapter 68: Beating the Vige Leader</h4>


    Han Fei’s face turned purple. I can cheat in reciting books but how can I cheat in digging?


    Of course, ‘digging the ground’ wasn’t its literal meaning. Han Fei needed to weed the thousands of acres ofnd in the ntation first, which was a ponderous job. Although he was a cultivator, it still took him three days to do this job and another three days to turn the soil for arablend.


    Seven dayster.


    Han Fei asked, “Grandpa, so I should start tilling thend now?”


    The old man replied, “No, it’s not time yet. Since you’ve learned the Encyclopedia of Spiritual nts by heart, trim all the spiritual nts in the ntation first.


    “What?”


    Han Fei almost cried. “Grandpa, you can’t bully me like this! Will trimming the spiritual nts help my cultivation?”


    The old man smiled. “Sure. You need to feel the natural beauty of spiritual nts intuitively so that you’ll have a good mood for tilling thend.”


    Han Fei, “Uhhhh”


    Han Fei thought to himself, I don’t know if spiritual nts are beautiful or not. What I know is that I’m in a bad mood. Do you know how much spare time I sacrificed to till thend? Now you want me to prune flowers and nts? Are you kidding me?


    Ten days after Han Fei learned Spirit Concentration Art, he finally started to till thend. It didn’t matter what kinds of spiritual nts grew. What mattered was the effect of Spirit Concentration Art on the growth of nts after they were nted.


    Han Fei nted a field of roses, a field of garlic, and a field of strawberries as a test. He had nned to grow wheat or rice but he didn’t find them, so he had to give up.


    Han Fei could apply Spirit Gathering Art very well now. After sending spiritual points drifting outside into thend, he was faced with another problem: how to apply Spirit Gathering Art over all the fields.


    The old man didn’t give him any hints. Han Fei’s first idea was to send a cloud of spiritual energy over thend, but the spiritual energy exploded and blew a big hole in the ground.


    But this time, the old man didn’tugh. In fact, Han Fei’s logic was correct and even very precise, which showed that he was really a genius. Han Fei also found that although a hole was blown up in the ground, there were spiritual nts sprouting in ces that hadn’t been bombarded.


    “I’ve got it! The spiritual energy explosion originated from the non-dead-corner explosion from a central point. If I can control the spiritual energy to spread onlyterally, it won’t explode!”


    After dozens of experiments and explosions, Han Fei finally managed to control the spiritual energy, so tillingnd could actually improve his ability to control spiritual energy, which was really a useful experience for him.


    ...


    One day, Han Fei had gained some experience with spiritual energy explosions and was about to try it again when the vige leader suddenly came to the ntation.


    As soon as the vige leader came in, he saw the old man drinking and eating barbecue. He sniffed and ignored the old man, calling straight to Han Fei standing in the ground. “Han Fei,e here.”


    Han Fei ran over covered with mud. “Leader, what can I do for you?”


    The vige leader is the leader of the Heavenly Water Vige. If it weren’t for the Fishing Trial, he wouldn’t have even remembered me. Why has hee to me here?


    The vige leader said, “Han Fei, our vige wants to select some outstanding students to study in the town where there are better schools. Although the selected student can only be auditors temporarily, it’s still a great chance. I specially reserved a ce for you. Hurry up, go back home to pack and get ready for setting off!”


    “Huh?”


    Han Fei scratched his head, nced back at thend he hadn’t finished tilling and thought about it. “What can auditors learn?”


    The vige leaderughed. “The schools in the town are not the same as those in the vige. That’s where elites stay. You just have to stay there for three years and then you can learn about the five major professions or even get started. Do you know what the five major professions are? Let me tell you...”


    Han Fei looked nk. He pointed a finger at the vige leader and a string of spiritual energy was sent into his body. “Like this?”


    “Uh?”


    The vige leader:”???”


    The vige leader looked at Han Fei stunned and then looked at the old man whose mouth was slightly curved in a smile. He stuttered, “Spirit... Spirit gatherer?”


    Han Fei said seriously, “Leader, if I have to be in the town for three years just to learn about the five major professions, then I’d rather not go. Recently, I find farming particrly interesting and I n to continue to study in the Heavenly Water Vige. When I go to the town one day, I’ll startle them with what I’m capable of.”


    The vige leader: “???”


    “Study? Do you mean farming?”


    The old man on the side suddenly pounded the table and jumped to his feet, throwing a prawn at the face of the vige leader. “What’s wrong with farming? Do you have a problem with farming?”


    The vige head frowned. “Old Jiang, you gotta show me some respect. The chance to go to town is something that many young people are desperate for. Han Fei has a great gift for being a spirit gatherer. How can you just keep him here farming? What else can your spiritual fruits be used for, besides being able to make some barbecue? ”


    The old man’s face darkened. “Do you despise nting spiritual fruits? Big-Headed Zhao, you ignorant idiot! The Dao of spiritual fruits nting will bring you life-long benefits. That’ll be a waste of his time to be an auditor in the town for three years! Was your head hit by an Iron-Head Fish?”


    The vige leader yelled, “Don’t call me idiot, you idiot! The Dao of spiritual fruits nting? Why didn’t I see you grow a single piece of spirit fruit? If it weren’t for the fact that every hanging ind needs someone to study spiritual fruit, I would have ttened your ntation.”


    The old man immediately threw a Small White Fish at him. “tten my ntation? Yes, in your dreams! I’d like to see how you can tten my ntation! Dare you shovel a piece of soil?”


    “Let me show you whether I dare or not. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”


    Han Fei couldn’t get a word in as the two old men were too irritable. The quarrel between them soon escted into a fight.


    They were getting angrier and angrier. As the vige leader burst into a roar, his body suddenly bulged with muscles and he threw a punch at the old man.


    Han Fei was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe what he saw. “Leader, didn’t you always tell us to be kind and get along with others?!”


    The old man didn’t flinch at all. Casting a sardonic nce at the vige leader, he reached out and grabbed in the air, and then a water shield appeared in front of him.


    BAm...


    The water shield exploded and the two old men were both sprinkled with water all over. The vige leader kept punching, forming a dragon shadow in the air. A fierce battle was imminent. The old man stood still, summoning a lot of water from the void, which turned into a chain and then into a whip.


    Han Fei was dumbfounded. That’s awesome. The old man looks so cool! He can actually grab anything out of the air as he wants, how eye-opening!


    Han Fei squatted on the ground not far away, watching the two of them fight.


    The vige leader roared, “Old Jiang, do you really think you can beat me?”


    Buzz! A cloud of spiritual energy appeared on the vige leader’s fist. Han Fei shivered when he saw the vige leader initiate a spiritual energy explosion, which was an extremely terrifying force.


    But the old man just sneered, “You wanna y spiritual energy with me? Are you still in your dream?”


    He reached out and grabbed at the mass of spiritual energy, which immediately diffused and broke into spiritual points.


    After dozens of seconds, with a whoosh, the vige leader was thrown out of the ntation.


    The old man pointed at the vige leader and cursed, “Big-Headed Zhao, who do you think you are?! If you dare to set your foot on my ntation again, I’ll beat the hell out of you!”


    The vige leader was very angry. “You damn farmer! I can’t evenmunicate with you... Han Fei, I’ve asked you to go to town for your own good. Since you have already started as a spiritual gatherer, you don’t have to be an auditor. Besides, although Li Jue was almost disabled, it is possible for him to recover in advance. Think it over for yourself.”


    Han Fei waved his hand in embarrassment. Li Jue? It’s only been half a month and Li Jue has shown signs of recovery? He had thought that there was still a lot of time left for him. Now being reminded by the vige leader, he realized that he wouldn’t be able to spend all his time and effort on farming.


    Just now, Old Jiang showed great power in the battle when he grabbed water from the void and transformed it into any weapon he wanted. Was it a different skill of a spirit gatherer? If this was the case, a spirit gatherer was powerful indeed. He wanted to learn this skill.


    Old Jiang turned his head, watching Han Fei’s expression changing, and asked grumpily, “Did you change your mind?”


    Han Fei shook his head. “No, but I think I have to take a few days off, Grandpa.”


    “Oh? For what?”


    “I’ve felt signs of a breakthrough recently and I want to prepare for my breakthrough.”


    “Cough, cough...”


    Old Jiang was speechless. Didn’t you just make a breakthrough not long ago? Why are you going to make another breakthrough so soon? Is a breakthrough as simple as eating and drinking for you?
