Novel Martial Peak Chapter 3842 English [Readable]

The old man said sorrowfully, “You also know how difficult the world is, why bother making things difficult for this old master?”

Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, then stretched out his hand and drew a large circle, “Old Sir, even if this place isn’t seventy or eighty acres, it should be around fifty or sixty, right?”

Suddenly changing the subject, the old man didn’t know what Yang Kai’s intentions were, so he didn’t dare to rashly respond and just stared at him vigilantly.

“You can easily take care of fifty or sixty acres of fruit garden, so what’s the big deal about my three acres of land? To you, it’s nothing more than a trivial matter. If you refuse to help, then if something really happens, don’t blame me.”

The old man glared at him, “You want this old master to help you take care of those three plots of land?”

Yang Kai grinned, “Of course not, as long as Old Sir can teach me for a while, I won’t dare to trouble you again in the future.” Pausing for a moment, he said, “Rest assured, I’m a fast learner, it won’t take long.”

The old man had a helpless look on his face, “It’s fine to teach you, but remember what you said. If you dare to come here again, don’t blame this old master for being impolite.”

“Of course not!”

The old man let out a long sigh before raising his hand and saying, “Let’s go.”

“Please slow down…” Yang Kai quickly came over to help him up.

The old man flicked his sleeve and coldly snorted, “Don’t try to flatter me. If I knew you weren’t a good person, this old master wouldn’t have bothered to remind you.”

Yang Kai grinned, “Old Sir has already said that he is a kind-hearted person, so when he saw this little brat in trouble, how could he not come to remind him?” In any case, saying good words didn’t cost him any money, nor did it cost him anything.

Along the way, they laughed along and soon returned to the three acres plot of land.

Although the old man had no choice but to agree to teach Yang Kai personally, since he had already agreed, he didn’t dare act rashly. The main reason was because he was afraid of Yang Kai’s ruthless attitude. If one day a tree were to die in his territory, he might really end up in his own territory, destorying his trees.

Even if it was for himself, the old man had to teach him carefully.

Standing in front of a Fire Spirit Fruit Tree, the old man wore a solemn expression and said, “Although we are all servants of the Fire Spiritual Land, it is not easy for us to accomplish this task. There are many things we need to pay attention to, especially taking care of this fruit tree. There are all kinds of details we need to pay attention to. Without three or five years of immersion, it will be difficult to grasp the proper etiquette. Let me tell you first, I will only teach you for a month. In this month, however much you can learn will be up to your own ability. After a month, don’t bother me again.”

“Good enough!” Yang Kai nodded seriously.

The old man sneered, obviously thinking that Yang Kai was too arrogant, but since Yang Kai had agreed, he was more than happy to see it. Pointing at a fruit tree in front of him, he said, “Take a look for yourself, how do you take care of this fruit tree?”

Yang Kai examined it for a moment, his Divine Sense fluctuating slightly as if he was completely focused on it. After a long time, he said, “I don’t know!”

The old man said, “Put your hand on it and carefully feel it.”

Yang Kai obediently placed his hand on the trunk and carefully examined it. After a moment, he tilted his head and asked, “You want to fertilize it?”

The old man rolled his eyes, “This is a healthy fruit tree, there’s no need to do anything.”

Yang Kai said angrily, “Since it’s healthy, why are you asking me how to take care of it?”

The old man stroked his beard and wore a profound look, “This old master only wants you to remember the state of the Healthy Fruit Tree and use it as a benchmark. Compared to the other fruit trees, you should know what to do.”

Yang Kai thought about it for a moment and couldn’t help but admit that the other party’s words made some sense. Although it was a bit like teasing him, he could only endure it. After all, his attitude towards him just now was quite bad.

“I’ll remember,” Yang Kai nodded.

“Then go to the next tree!” The old man waved.

A short while later, in front of another fruit tree, Yang Kai examined it for a long time before asking with some uncertainty, “Compared to the fruit tree just now, this tree’s moisture is insufficient. Is it about to be watered?”

The old man glanced at him and nodded, “Not bad.”

Yang Kai grinned, “Senior taught me well. En, watering… I’ll see how to do it.” Taking out his token, Yang Kai activated his strength and connected it to the great array in the entire fruit garden. After a short time, a cloud of mist condensed on the fruit tree.

“It’s too little, it’s too little! Continue!” The old man shouted from the side, “The Earth Fire Energy here is rich and the environment is hot. If you gather too little water, it will evaporate and you won’t be able to water it.”

Yang Kai didn’t say a word as he increased his strength, causing the mist above the fruit tree to become even thicker.

“Almost,” The old man nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Kai immediately stretched out his hand and pointed, causing the mist to cover the entire fruit tree. It was obvious to the naked eye that the entire fruit tree had been nourished.

Yang Kai said proudly, “How is it?”

“So-so,” The old man naturally wouldn’t praise him, leading him forward.

Taking care of the fruit trees was a meticulous and arduous task, especially for a newbie like Yang Kai. If he was careless, it could be a bad thing. After examining each fruit tree, he would water them, fertilize them, and increase the extraction of the Fire Spirit Energy.

The three saplings were of utmost importance and were the most difficult to take care of, but under the guidance of the old man, Yang Kai did quite well. Seeing him like this, the old man seemed quite satisfied and his attitude eased slightly.

The thirty fruit trees were quickly finished, but Yang Kai still felt somewhat unsatisfied. It wasn’t that he liked to do such things, it was just that in the future, he would have to refine Open Heaven Pills. As an Alchemist, if he didn’t even understand the characteristics of the Alchemy materials, he naturally wouldn’t be able to refine them well.

Today’s hard work of taking care of the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree could actually lay a solid foundation for his future Alchemy, so Yang Kai was quite happy about it.

“Let’s go to your place,” Yang Kai called out.

The old man was puzzled, “Why are you going to this old master’s place?”

Yang Kai rubbed his fists, “I’ll help you take care of the fruit trees!”

The old man was shocked, “No need, I appreciate your kindness…”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and leave!” Yang Kai didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and dragged him away.

Half a day later, the old man followed behind Yang Kai with a distressed look on his face. Yang Kai was shuttling through the old man’s several dozen acres of fruit garden, taking care of other people’s fruit trees to practice with. Whenever he was careless, the old man would shiver…

“Old Sir, the tree has given birth to insects. Is this the Jade Fire Silkworm?” Yang Kai suddenly looked towards a hole in the trunk. Seeing this hole, he suddenly remembered that he had promised General Si Chen five Jade Fire Silkworms.

“Is there an insect?” Hearing this, the old man’s eyes lit up as he pushed Yang Kai aside and anxiously said, “Let me see, let me see…” After examining the small hole for a while, he smiled happily, “There really is an insect.”

Yang Kai tilted his head to look at him and frowned, “Why do you look so happy?”

“What do you know?” The old man couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to him, so he reached out and took out a dark green box, then took out a stick of incense, lit it, and gently waved it in front of the hole.

Judging from his posture, it seemed he was catching insects, and he had even prepared a set of specific tools. This was obviously not the first time he had done something like this. After the incense was lit, there was a faint burnt smell. It was unknown what material it was made from, but it was quite strange.

Yang Kai wanted to ask him about it, but he was afraid he would disturb him, so he simply kept his mouth shut and quietly observed.

The old man had been here for countless years, and since he cared so much about this Jade Fire Silkworm, he must have his reasons. Moreover, Die You had said before that if he caught a Jade Fire Silkworm in the orchid garden, he should remember to keep it. From this, it could be seen just what kind of treasure this Jade Fire Silkworm was.

It had to be said that this old man was quite good at catching insects. After igniting the incense stick for a short time, a small red head emerged from the worm hole. Yang Kai had also seen the Jade Fire Silkworms before, so he immediately recognized it as the thing Die You had fed to Great General Si Chen.

After all, the Jade Fire Silkworm was only a small insect, so it was attracted by the burning fragrance and immediately crawled out of the worm hole before being stored away by the old man.

After extinguishing the incense, the old man held the box and smiled happily.

Only then did Yang Kai have the time to ask, “Senior, what use does this Jade Fire Silkworm have?”

The old man glanced at him and shook his head, “I can’t say, I can’t say…”

“Do you believe I won’t uproot your tree?” Yang Kai reached out and grabbed the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree in front of him.

“You…” The old man lost his temper and stared at Yang Kai’s hand, “Let go first.”

“I’ll let go if you talk.”

“Good, good, good!”

After Yang Kai withdrew his hand, the old man explained, “This insect is useless to us, but do you know Great General Si Chen? It loves eating the Jade Fire Silkworms.”

“I know, so what? Is a chicken worthy of your flattery?” Yang Kai looked at the old man disdainfully.

The old man’s beard trembled, “Great General Si Chen is no ordinary chicken, he is the pet of the Venerable. In this Fire Spiritual Land, besides the Venerable, he is the biggest.”

“So what? If you feed it insects, do you think it will be able to put in a good word for you so you can get rid of your identity as a servant?”

“Of course not…” The old man laughed dryly, “But it’s never wrong to have a good relationship with General Si Chen.”

“Is that all?” Yang Kai looked at him suspiciously.

“What else?”

Yang Kai stared at him seriously for a moment before reaching out and grabbing the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree again, “Do you believe I won’t uproot this tree of yours?”

“Stop!” The old man shouted, his beard trembling violently. Yang Kai remained unmoved, slowly increasing the strength in his hands.

“I’m afraid of you!” The old man wanted nothing more than to slap Yang Kai to death. Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, he explained, “The Great General has an Open Heaven Pill on him. If he’s in a good mood, he might give it to us. Otherwise, why would we help him catch insects?”

“That chicken has an Open Heaven Pill?” Yang Kai asked incredulously.

“Can you keep your voice down?” The old man looked around, “I already said that the Great General is no ordinary chicken, if you continue to speak so carelessly, if others were to hear you, there would definitely not be a good ending!”

“Be quiet, be quiet…” Yang Kai immediately lowered his voice, “Did someone get an Open Heaven Pill from that… Great General?”

He had also seen Die You feed it last time, but he had never seen that chicken give him any Open Heaven Pills.
