As time slowly passed, since Master Elder Wang had persuaded him, Edward still went his own way.

He still read for an hour every day, and the Justice Magic Qi still grew rapidly. Anyway, he didn't have enough magic stones in his hand. To break through to the thirteenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra required three hundred thousand magic stones, which he couldn't afford at all.

Could it be that he relied on the pocket money of ten thousand magic stones that Master gave him every month?

Half a year passed. Edward used the Justice Magic Qi to irrigate the bitter bamboos unwaveringly every day. Master Elder Wang came to persuade him several times. Even the eldest senior brother came to persuade him. In his opinion, with Edward's talent, if he could cultivate hard, his future would be limitless.

So he was both envious and angry that Edward was wasting his talent.

Edward said, "Using Justice Magic Qi to irrigate bitter bamboos is also a method to cultivate Justice Magic Qi."

"Junior Brother He, the Justice Magic Sutra emphasizes comprehension first and not application. Unlike other sects, as long as we work hard to read and understand the Justice Magic Sutra." The eldest senior brother Tang Qing couldn't be deceived. His realm was even higher than Edward's.

"Then, Senior Brother, my cultivation has improved rapidly, but I'm just short of some magic stones. So it's not too late for me to earn some magic stones first and then cultivate." Edward shrugged and continued to irrigate the bitter bamboos.

The eldest senior brother Tang Qing was helpless. Saying that Edward was working hard! Edward was really working hard, but he was working hard to earn magic stones and not working hard to read.

As time passed slowly, another half a year had passed. Edward had been farming on Kuzhu Peak for a whole year. On this day, the Justice Magic Qi in Edward's body surged, and his realm also broke through from the eleventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra to the twelfth layer.

"I've broken through!" Edward opened his eyes and said slowly.

But there was only the sound of rustling around, and the master and senior brothers didn't hear it.

During this period, the third senior brother and the second senior sister returned from a mission. When they learned that there was a new junior brother on Kuzhu Peak, they were also very happy and met Edward. Edward was also very glad to see the second senior sister and the third senior brother.

The third senior brother was a cultivator at the nineteenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. When he learned that Edward and the fourth junior brother had both broken through the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra, he was also very happy.

The second senior sister was a bit aloof. She just congratulated and then went back to her bedroom to study hard. The second senior sister had heard that Edward had high talent, but he only spent one hour reading every day and the rest of the time was spent irrigating the bitter bamboo forest. Just to earn more than a hundred thousand magic stones in a year.

This made the second senior sister look down on him very much. She thought this was an act of picking up a sesame seed but losing a watermelon. After Edward broke through to the twelfth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra, no one else knew. After all, no one was so abnormal. Observing others with the Righteous Eye every day would cause resentment.

However, Edward had already decided that he would still hire people to irrigate next year. It seemed that a hundred thousand magic stones a year was acceptable. He only earned a hundred thousand magic stones in a year by irrigating the bitter bamboo forest alone, and it took three hundred thousand magic stones for him to break through a realm.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"I still have to think of another way to obtain more magic stones!" Edward thought secretly in his heart.

So the next day, when the bitter bamboo shoots emerged, he harvested them. The bitter bamboo shoots in the bitter bamboo forest would only be produced once a year, and that was only for a short three days. If these bitter bamboo shoots were not harvested within three days, they would quickly grow into mature bitter bamboos and couldn't be eaten.

After three days, Edward worked day and night and finally dug up more than a hundred and twenty bitter bamboo shoots.

"If they are sold, that will be more than a million and two hundred thousand magic stones!" Edward's eyes lit up. These were all rare resources!

The eldest senior brother came over and looked. Edward's earnings in a year were almost twice that of his bitter bamboo forest. His face was full of envy.

"Junior Brother He, are you going to sell these bitter bamboo shoots?" The eldest senior brother Tang Qing casually asked.

"Sure! Senior Brother, if you buy them all, it will save me the trouble of going to the market outside!" As soon as Edward heard that the eldest senior brother wanted to buy them, he immediately said.

"Ah? Junior Brother He, don't you consider keeping half of them for your own consumption?" Tang Qing said in surprise.

"Senior Brother, I have now reached the peak of the twelfth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra and am about to break through to the thirteenth layer. My cultivation speed is too fast. For me, these bitter bamboo shoots are just the icing on the cake. It's better to exchange them for magic stones and I can buy better natural treasures." Edward said with a smile.

The eldest senior brother Tang Qing was a bit stunned. He used the Righteous Eye to look at Edward and was suddenly silent. The Justice Magic Qi at the peak of the twelfth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra in Edward was not fake.

The most crucial thing was that it had only been a year since Edward came to Kuzhu Peak. A year ago, he was still a cultivator at the peak of the tenth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. And his fourth junior brother was known as the most talented among their four senior and junior brothers. Now he was only at the middle stage of the tenth layer. The fastest time to break through to the eleventh layer would still take two years.

"Monstrous! Abnormal!" Tang Qing sighed.

"Okay, Junior Brother He. I won't take advantage of you with these bitter bamboo shoots. Bitter bamboo shoots are in short supply and have no fixed price. I'll buy them all at twelve thousand magic stones each."

Edward looked at the wealthy Tang Qing, and didn't expect that the eldest senior brother was the real rich guy.

"Senior Brother, do you have so many magic stones?" Edward asked. In fact, what he really wanted to ask was how to obtain so many magic stones.

"Hehe, I saved them bit by bit over the years, and I also have some businesses like shops at the foot of the mountain." Tang Qing said with a smile.

"So that's how it is!" Edward cupped his hands and said.

The two quickly made the transaction. Edward didn't keep any. Although these bitter bamboo shoots had significant effects, they had a drawback. They were extremely bitter, so bitter that it reached one's heart.

And you couldn't block the bitter taste either because the more bitter it was, the better the effect after consumption. This was also the reason why Edward didn't want to keep any. He took a bite and almost felt like his seven orifices were going to explode. It was really too unpalatable.

Now the bitter bamboo shoot that he had bitten was still growing in the original place. In the future, it would become a bamboo that had been bitten by Edward.

"One million and five hundred thousand. I'll take all of them." The eldest senior brother counted and finally gave Edward a round number.

Edward was very happy. If calculated one by one, it was 1.45 million magic stones. Now being able to get 1.5 million magic stones was completely enough for him to study hard next.

Edward had learned from the master that a month ago, Han Li had quickly reached the eleventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. Edward was currently at the peak of the twelfth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra and would soon be caught up.

So Edward also felt a sense of crisis. After getting the magic stones, he immediately took the more than one hundred thousand magic stones that the master had given this year to hire people to help irrigate the bitter bamboo forest on Kuzhu Peak.

When the outer sect disciples learned that Edward was recruiting people, they were also extremely excited. Compared to the fighting and killing outside, although it was tiring to use Justice Magic Qi to irrigate the bitter bamboos in the bamboo forest, the advantage was that it was safe. You could get the magic stones equivalent to an acre of land for irrigating an acre of bamboo forest. It was very fair and just.

And Edward didn't recruit people last year. Many disciples went out to do tasks and quite a few didn't come back. The rest, when they learned that Edward was recruiting people to irrigate on Kuzhu Peak, immediately signed up enthusiastically. Edward quickly recruited enough people.
