Special Rewards

On getting to the Divine Farm Space, Lu Chen realized how much spiritual and immortal energies this place has. The difference in density from the outside world is a thousand times.

...

There are different energies in the Cultivation Worlds. Spiritual, Immortal, Celestial, Connate and Divine Energies.

Martial Grade Cultivators absorb and refine Spiritual Energy

To Become a Martial Adept, One has to absorb and refine a wisp of Immortal Energy. 3 wisps of Immortal Energy at Peak-Grade Martial Adept; 6 wisps for Peak-Grade Martial Lord; 9 wisps for Peak-Grade Martial Monarch.

And the reason why the highest Combat power of this World are Martial Adepts is because the immortal energies have been shut off so that only a miniscule of it remains for them to absorb and refine.

That is all they know.

...

The difference in energy densities was the first impression Lu Chen had when he appeared in this space.

Then he detected that he was in the air. Looking down, he noticed brown-black land that emits a rich fragrant.

Rich soil have a unique scent. Because this is a cultivation world and this is a Divine Farm, the scent is enhanced ten thousand times over.

Then, he noticed some saplings in rows and columns on the soil. He looked towards the center of the Farm and,

"There it is. The Mind Cleansing Sapling", he said.

Looking further up, he saw a hut.

"That must be the warehouse".

Behind the warehouse is a mountain of mists. He moved towards it. The closer he gets to the mountain, the richer and denser the energy becomes.

His Innate Immortal Body got to work subconsciously. It crazily absorbs and refine the Immortal Energy.

Lu Chen didn't mind though. But just as he was thinking that this would be a Meditation Holy Land,

[Master is forbidden from cultivating or meditating in the Divine Farm Space. It is a Farming Space and not a Secret Realm or Chamber.

Work Hard on the Farm and you might be rewarded with a Divine Secret Chamber in the future.

Your Innate Immortal Body will not be hindered from passively cultivating, but you can't take the initiative]

"Oh! That's it about having a system. No Privacy. It already knows what I'm thinking and immediately set boundaries. Hmph, see how I deal with you later"

[(Sneering) As if you can do anything]

"We'll see"

When he reached the warehouse, he entered. The outside can be said to be a wreck. When he went in, he knew at once that he was mistaken.

The warehouse is a hundred times more luxurious than his own house.

It has a thousand cube meters of space. Black tiles covered the floor and the roof. Golden Light Crystals were embedded in circles around the roof tiles while a large purple Light Crystal was at the center emitting a bright purple light.

The walls on each side were dark green with White Light Crystals embedded in them. It is a sight to behold.

Just by the right at the entrance, he noticed many bags that contains different seeds. By the left is a nursery of Saplings that are awaiting transplantation.

A watering can was placed by the door. Everything he needs for farming is set, but,

"Something is missing. System, where is my hoe and sickle? You don't expect me to use my teeth do you?"

[Congratulations, you have passed your first Evaluation. You didn't rely on your cultivation to farm but wants to do it manually. You have obtained, A Hoe and a Sickle. Please check the inventory]

"Oh, Just like that? It can be done like that? What a weirdo! Giving me a reward for test I don't know of. System, I don't need you to be mysterious. Just inform whenever there's an upcoming evaluation"

[At your service, my lord]

"That's good then. Don't be an unreasonable system that gives a mysterious and powerful momentum at first but becomes unreliable later on".

"I'd rather be an ordinary person than have an unreliable backer"

[Master, do not compare me to humans or any other being. I'm an entity that is unique]

"I know"

After sorting things out in the warehouse, he went out of it and look towards the mountain.

"System, what is that mountain? Why does it feel like all the energies are from that mountain"

[You are right. The Misty Mountain is the source of the energies in this Farming Space]

"Oh. Right! When I entered, I sensed Immortal energies and Spiritual Energies. Are there any other energy types in this place?"

[Yes, there are. Energies, as you know are generally divided into Spiritual Energy, Immortal Energy, Celestial Energy, Connate Energy and Divine Energy.

All this energies are present to assist you in your farming. Depending on the level of herbs and seeds you have, these energies will be essential for their growth and production

Hint: Even a normal seed or herb or sapling can become graded when planted in the Divine Farm Space. But you don't need to.

The Energy of the Space will seep and extend to your farm outside too. It will nurture the soil on your normal farmland ]

"That's good news"

Lu Chen started going towards the mountain. The closer he gets to the mountain, the more he noticed that there seemed to be something weighing him down.

Before he could say a word,

[This is a test. From the warehouse to the foot of the mountain is One hundred Thousand Steps of shrunk distance.

In the future when the space expands, the true appearance of the One Hundred Thousand Steps will be revealed

You'll be rewarded for every hundredth, thousandth and ten thousandth steps you take]

"You've taken my words seriously, huh? That's a good start".

Then he calculated the number of steps he's taken from the warehouse to his present location, it's been 43 steps. Just 43 steps and he's already feeling the weight.

"Hmph, you think you can stop me with just this? You must be joking. Back on Earth when I was on the streets hustling, I felt greater pressure than this. I must see the first reward today".

Then he kept walking at the normal pace. On the 50th step, he was still having it easy.

At the 59th step, he noticed a change. The pressure doubles. He still stepped forward, taking his 60th step.

His speed was reduced, but not by much. 70th step, and his his speed was reduced by half from the initial. He's been on the road for a quarter of an hour.

With his speed halved, he took another quarter of an hour to take his 80th step

His Speed was halved again and he is now under a lot of pressure. Sweat began to form on his forehead and palm.

One must know that he's an Immortal Corp. Just from this alone, one can conclude that this One Hundred Thousand Steps is not simple

...

He took half an hour to take the 90th step and his speed was halved again.

From an initial carefree attitude to sweating profusely, this perfectly describes his state.

His Innate Immortal Body is now like a dry sponge, Crazily absorbing energy and frantically refining them to replenish Lu Chen's energy reserve.

When he took the 95th step, it was as if heaven was falling. With bloodshot eyes and willpower, he took the 96th and 97th step.

Lu Chen can be said to be a mess now. Breathing heavily with bulging eyes, he took the 98th step.

Just then, heavy pressure descended like a mountain. He persevered, though bleeding from all seven orifices, and took the 99th step.

His Innate Immortal Body circulated the Divine Soul Tempering Technique to the limit. This time, he took the initiative.

"Just one more! JUST ONE MORE!!", He screamed.

He felt like he was dying.

And with the last strength and willpower, he took the hundredth step.

BANG!!!

There was a loud clapping of thunder that shook the space as though registering the accomplishment of a crazed, weak Immortal.

This is unprecedented!!!

[Congratulations Master for unexpectedly taking the first 100 Steps of the One Hundred Thousand Steps towards the Misty Mountain with your Early-stage Immortal Corp cultivation base. You have been rewarded with:

1. Immediate assimilation of 200 Grades worth of Cultivation Base, and

2. Array Formations and Alchemy Encyclopedia Volume 1: There three Volumes in total. Volume 1 contains Array Formations and Alchemy knowledge below the Connate Grade.

Volume 1 has two parts. First part records knowledge on Array Formations while part two on Alchemy.

3. All About Farming: Due to your Outstanding performance, Master is rewarded with this masterpiece. It records everything about farming. From Mortal Farming Systems to Divine Farming Systems.

Artifact Refining and Array Formations peculiar to Farming are detailed here]

When the System's voice ended, energy surged within Lu Chen. His wounds immediately heal. From an Immortal Corp to Immortal Master, Grandmaster, King, Monarch, then a Celestial Disciple, and finally, an intermediate Celestial Corp was born.

His Cultivation Base is now Grade 242 Intermediate Celestial. 40 was his initial Grade due to Innate Immortal Body, 2 came from the frantic passive absorption of energy in the Farm Space, and finally 200 as system rewards.

When his Aura stabilized, he became more refined and handsome. His clothe glowed a little because it has been baptized by his Celestial Aura since the assimilation of his Physique.

Now he noticed something. His Body now Frantically Absorbs a new type of energy which he knows to be Celestial Energy. He asked the system why it is so, because an Inmate Immortal Body should not be that defying.

[Your Innate Immortal Body has evolved to become Innate Celestial Body. Remember that your Innate Immortal Body emits Celestial Aura from the start.

Now the Range of Influence has increased from the initial few centimeters around you to 200 meters. The higher your cultivation, the wider the Range of Influence.

Everything within your range of influence will benefit greatly from your aura.

Test: Know the effects of your Aura on everything around you.

Time Limit: None

Rewards: You'll know when you see them]

"Whatever", Lu Chen rolled his eyes at the test given by the System.

...

There are two other Rewards.

He decided to directly assimilate the 2nd reward, Array Formations and Alchemy Encyclopedia Volume 1.

[Imprinting Array Formations and Alchemy Encyclopedia Volume 1. Successful!]

Informations flooded his mind immediately and he felt slight pain. He was surprised. After all, this is after the tempering he just experienced as well as the increase in his cultivation.

He wouldn't have been able to take it if he were still an Immortal Corp.

When he recovered, days had passed in this space. Specifically, 8 days. 1 day spent on exploring and taking the test of the One Hundred Thousand Steps.

4 days spent on assimilating 200 Grades worth of cultivation base. And the last 3 days on assimilating knowledge on Array Formations and Alchemy.

He was standing at the front of the Warehouse. After asking the system about how he got here, he was informed that he was teleported here after taking the hundredth step.

And he doesn't have to worry about starting again. The next time he went to the back of the warehouse, he will be teleported directly to the 100th step.

...

The 3rd reward was actually unexpected for him. So he decided to savor every bit of it by reading through the book like a mortal. This way, he'll cultivate, farm, read, and play music.

Then, he had a thought and he suddenly became anxious.

"System, the last 8 days I've been busy with cultivation, I didn't water the Farm. What will happen to those seeds and saplings?"

Since he has been gifted a farm, a Divine Tier Farm at that, he had to take it seriously.

[Do not be anxious Master. The Farm will be irrigated at noon every two days if you have a GENUINE reason to be absent]

The System emphasized 'Genuine'. Lu Chen didn't know wether to laugh or cry.

'Can there be a reason that is not genuine?', he thought.

[Yes]

"Hmph, stop listening to my inner thoughts, it's disrespectful"

[But I am in your mind. Unless you unbind me, I will always be able to hear your thoughts]

"Then pretend you don't hear them"
