20.Water the Kuzhu Peak

After Edward's breakthrough, he directly lived on Kuzhu Peak in the sect. The eldest senior brother Tang Qing looked at Edward with envy on his face and said, "The hundred-acres Kuzhu Peak, if managed well, can produce bitter bamboo shoots worth millions for cultivation."

"May I ask what the function of the bitter bamboo shoots is, Senior Brother?" Edward quickly asked.

"The bitter bamboo shoots have very strong functions of refreshing the mind, strengthening the body, increasing the spirit, and briefly improving the comprehension. A single bitter bamboo shoot is worth tens of thousands of magic stones, and it is in short supply. We generally don't sell them outside." The eldest senior brother said with a smile.

"Whoa! If there could be a thousand bitter bamboo shoots, wouldn't they be worth tens of millions of magic stones?"

Edward said in surprise.

The eldest senior brother Tang Qing's face darkened and he said, "Junior Brother, the bitter bamboo shoots don't grow that easily. I was also given fifty acres of bitter bamboo forest by the master on Kuzhu Peak, but after a year of management, I only harvested about seventy or eighty."

"Plus, I also spent a hundred thousand magic stones a month to hire many disciples of the Justice Magic Sect to help water it with Justice Magic Qi every day to get that harvest."

After the eldest senior brother's introduction, Edward understood. For the hundred-acres Kuzhu Peak, if people were hired to irrigate with Justice Magic Qi, it would cost at least a hundred thousand magic stones in a year.

"Of course, you can also recruit more people to irrigate, which can increase the output. But it's better not to have too many. After all, the yield of bitter bamboo can't be controlled. If too many people are recruited, the income from bitter bamboo will also be affected." The eldest senior brother said.

Edward nodded repeatedly. Having received the eldest senior brother's wholehearted teaching, Edward immediately went to look at the green bamboos. He tried to release the vast Justice Magic Qi at the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra in his body and carefully irrigated in the bamboo forest according to the irrigation method.

Soon, the bitter bamboo forest made a rustling sound, as if celebrating.

In just ten minutes, Edward had irrigated one acres of the bitter bamboo forest, but the Justice Magic Qi was also exhausted. Edward still needed some time to recover.

"It's so simple? Why doesn't the eldest senior brother irrigate by himself?" Edward walked into the bamboo forest with some doubts and continuously used the Justice Magic Qi to irrigate these bitter bamboos.

After twenty hours a day, Edward barely irrigated the hundred-acres bamboo forest.

"Irrigate for twenty hours a day. There's no time to read and cultivate at all. No wonder the eldest senior brother has to ask those outer sect disciples to help with the irrigation!" At this moment, Edward suddenly realized.

"But a hundred thousand magic stones a month!" Edward gritted his teeth. "I really can't bear it. No, I have to earn this magic stone!"

Edward took out the Justice Magic Sutra and read it once. Soon, the Justice Magic Qi in his body surged, and his strength broke through to the eleventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra.

"Phew! I've broken through. The twelfth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra has also been simplified. Just spend some time reading every day, and the rest of the time should be spent on irrigating the bitter bamboo forest."

From that day on, Edward became a farmer on Kuzhu Peak, working hard to irrigate the bitter bamboo forest.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

After Edward broke through to the eleventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra, his irrigation speed increased. Coupled with his strong body, he was not afraid of fatigue at all.

He irrigated for nineteen hours a day, read for one hour, and directly lay flat and rested for the remaining four hours.

And the four hours of rest for Edward were two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, so the eldest senior brother didn't find out at all that Edward was irrigating by himself without hiring anyone.

The fourth senior brother didn't find out either. He was reading every day and consolidating his cultivation, intending to catch up with Edward.

Edward figured out that the two senior brothers and the master were all people who were dedicated to arduous cultivation. As soon as Edward settled down, the three of them ignored him.

Every time Edward saw them, they were either reading or on the way to read. Even Elder Wang was the same. He had to read a book even when eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping. He could be regarded as a model of a person dedicated to arduous cultivation.

Edward also breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to start continuously irrigating the bitter bamboo forest.

It was not until one morning a month later that Elder Wang remembered that he still had a disciple. Then he got up and went to Edward's house to look for him.

The result was naturally fruitless. At this time, Edward was squatting in the bamboo forest and using Justice Magic Qi to irrigate the bitter bamboos!

"It's strange. Could it be that he went down the mountain to have fun?" Elder Wang used the Justice Magic Eye. Soon, he saw Edward hiding in the bamboo forest and quickly flew over.

"Edward, are you irrigating the bitter bamboos?" After waiting for half an hour, Elder Wang finally saw clearly what Edward was doing and his eyes widened.

You should know that for a hundred-acres bamboo forest, and it has to be carefully irrigated and the spiritual energy has to be restored. Even with his cultivation level, he had to spend ten hours a day on it to irrigate! Would there be time to read then?

"Master, you're here?" Edward turned to look at Elder Wang, secretly praying in his heart that his bitter bamboo forest would not be taken back. You should know that this was the guarantee for his future breakthrough in cultivation. It was a pile of glittering magic stones!

"Humph! If I didn't come, you actually wasted your cultivation because of these bitter bamboos." Elder Wang said angrily. He was against the thoughts of the other four disciples and was partial to Edward. Unexpectedly, he had done a bad thing with good intentions.

"Master, what are you talking about? I didn't waste my cultivation." As soon as Edward heard this, he could only refute with a stiff upper lip.

He really didn't waste his cultivation. As long as there were continuous simplifications and improvements with magic stones, and then he read books, his cultivation could be quickly improved.

"Still saying no!" Elder Wang used the Justice Magic Eye to look at the Justice Magic Qi in Edward's body. After a careful look, he was stunned. Just now, he didn't react on the way. The Justice Magic Qi in Edward's body had surged a large amount again.

"The eleventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!" Elder Wang's eyes widened. You should know that Edward's fourth senior brother is still consolidating his cultivation at the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra right now, fearing that he will fall back. He felt a burst of exhaustion. The gap in talent was too big.

You should know that which cultivator on Kuzhu Peak was not a person dedicated to arduous cultivation? When he was young, he even firmly believed that a person's effort was the most important. He firmly believed this and took Tang Qing, a disciple with above-average talent, as proof.

As the years passed, Tang Qing had always been working hard to cultivate, and his cultivation had become more and more profound and powerful. But the next four disciples he took in had better and better talents. They also cultivated hard, and slowly the gap between them began to narrow. But he still insisted that this was the result of effort.

Until he saw Edward, Elder Wang's belief over so many years was almost shaken.

"You broke through?! When did you break through?" Elder Wang knew that there had been no news of Li Elder's disciple Han Li breaking through recently. It was said that he was still consolidating his cultivation at the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra.

"It was after you gave me the bitter bamboo forest. I irrigated the whole day. I thought that if I broke through, it might take less time, so I broke through."

Edward's words dealt a heavy blow to Elder Wang. He nodded and could only entice with benefits, saying, "It's best for you to find someone to look after the bitter bamboo forest. Cultivation is the most important. If you can quickly break through to the twentieth layer, I will have rewards for you later."

"Really? Then thank you very much, Master!" Edward's eyes lit up. If he was given another hundred acres of bamboo forest later, wouldn't he soar instantly!
