Actually, levitation with his Martial Dao was also a kind of method, but from the start of the Founding Emperor Era until now, he was the only one who could cultivate it.

And before the Founding Emperor Era, there was also no existence like him.

As Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, the old farmer had put all of his effort on the Martial Dao. He didn’t understand other things because he had no other distractions in his heart, that was why he was known as the Great Emperor of the Martial Dao!

From the past to the present, he was the number one person in the Martial Dao!

If he was as active as Qin Mu and liked to do this and that, he wouldn’t have the achievements he had today.

Focus was the crux of his success.

Even though it might be like this, Qin Mu creating twenty-six seventh divine treasures in one go was still a heavy blow to him.

Before Qin Mu had created twenty-six seventh divine treasures, Xu Shenghua had already created the Builder Tree Innate Divine Bridge, and that was an astonishing achievement. One Builder Tree could connect heaven and earth, merging all divine treasures into one.

What was even more terrifying was that it made levitation with his Martial Dao even simpler. It allowed Hu Bugui to levitate from the Builder Tree and cross the void to reach the celestial palace.

Even though the old farmer was reluctant to admit it, he was long convinced by Qin Mu and Xu Shenghua, today was merely an extra blow to his pride.

‘I hate these people with an intelligent mind the most. They would say I’m very stupid all the time, or that I don’t work hard enough, I had merely given it some thought and here are twenty-six methods to solve the problem. These a**holes just want to write ‘I’m smarter than you’ on their faces and wait for you to praise them!’

He had his fill of setbacks in his early years. Woodcutter, Scholar, Fisherman, every single one of them was smarter than him, making him feel that he was the stupidest among them.

This kind of setback had accompanied him for twenty thousand years, and he was full of grudges.

The old farmer tried to make himself look more amiable, and he said warmly, “Twenty-six solutions. In that case, why do you still have to destroy your Paramita Divine Treasure?”

Qin Mu said, “I have only deduced these twenty-six methods, but I haven’t tried them one by one. After testing all of them out, I will choose the simplest one and give it to senior uncle. Senior uncle can then impart it to the martial arts practitioners of Bullfighting World, solving their problem of having no divine bridge.”

‘Choose the simplest one...’

The old farmer felt as though his amiable face could distort at any time and turn ugly. He hurriedly calmed himself down and said with a smile, “Just leave the Paramita Divine Treasure, there’s no need to destroy it, just open the second kind of divine treasure. You can have additional magic power by just leaving it be.”

Qin Mu was stunned and rubbed his palms in admiration. “Senior uncle is truly smarter than others, as expected of the Great Emperor of the Martial Dao, I didn’t think of that!”

The old farmer seemed slightly pleased as he thought to himself, ‘These smart people tend to waste time on an insignificant problem.’

“However, too many divine treasures in the body makes it messy and distracting.”

Qin Mu pondered and said, “I feel some divine treasures can be taken away, having extra is a burden instead... Senior uncle, wait a minute, let me calculate if my corporeal body is able to contain so many divine treasures!”

The old farmer raised his eyebrows and acknowledged. He saw Qin Mu’s hands parting, and his vital qi constructed the algebra model of a human body. With a gentle snap of his fingers, the divine treasures rapidly expanded.

Qin Mu walked among the divine treasures and examined them carefully. Suddenly, a lump of vital qi flew out and transformed into a cluster of celestial palaces. Southern Heavenly Gate stood tall and upright.

Qin Mu used his vital qi to transform into twenty-six kinds of divine treasures and lined them up. He tried to contain these divine treasures under Southern Heavenly Gate.

The old farmer looked in detail and realized he didn’t understand anything. He snorted and thought to himself, ‘Show off!’

Qin Mu kept rearranging them, and his eyebrows scrunched more and more. After some time, he kept his vital qi back and shook his head. “Senior uncle, your thinking is too simple. If they were ordinary seventh divine treasures, Southern Heavenly Gate could contain five to six of them. However, Southern Heavenly Gate can’t even contain some of these divine treasures, they have been connected straight to the celestial palace. I feel having one divine treasure is the best, there’s not much use in having more divine treasures.”

The old farmer continued to maintain his amiable expression and said, “In that case, let me destroy your Paramita Divine Treasure first so that you can continue to study. I shall go over to Imperial Preceptor’s manor to stay. When you open up your second divine treasure, get someone to call me.”

Qin Mu hurriedly said, “Senior uncle can just stay here, Imperial Preceptor has no money, even food and clothing poses a problem to him. Furthermore, I’m skilled in the art of healing, so I can treat senior uncle.”

“I don’t need it!”

The old farmer said stiffly and suddenly changed to a gentle tone. He said pleasantly, “Your cultivation is more important, I shall not disturb you. Imperial Preceptor has a poison expert call Fu Yuanqing. He is also skilled in the art of healing, he can treat me.”

Qin Mu said with a smile, “Fu Yuanqing is my Senior Brother, Little Poison King. Even though his art of healing is inferior to me, it’s still not bad. He can indeed cure senior uncle’s injuries. Since that’s the case, I’ve sent some people to deliver money to Imperial Preceptor’s manor, it can be for senior uncle’s expenses for these few days.”

The old farmer hurried him. “Faster, where is the location of your Paramita Divine Treasure?”

Qin Mu hurriedly pointed out the location of the Paramita Divine Treasure, and the old farmer tapped it without any warning. With a boom, the Paramita Divine Treasure that Qin Mu had painstakingly constructed was destroyed and ceased to exist!

Qin Mu’s vital qi vibrated violently, and blood flowed down the corner of his lips. The old farmer was about to leave when Qin Mu hurriedly suppressed his injuries and asked, “Senior uncle, this halo behind my head is Mother Earth’s blessing, can senior uncle use your martial strength to destroy it?”

“How difficult is that?”

The old farmer smashed it with his fist, and that halo behind his head shattered!

Qin Mu was stunned and praised, “Senior uncle’s martial strength is unparalleled!”

The old farmer was also rather pleased, but at this moment, his expression changed slightly. He stared at the back of Qin Mu’s head and saw countless runes automatically rearranging themselves from the shattered halo.

Those runes were incomparably fine, and he could even feel that these runes were absorbing power from the land. They quickly returned back to normal.

Qin Mu’s face also changed slightly, and he stood there in a daze.

The old farmer gave another punch and shattered the halo from Mother Earth’s blessing again. However, the halo quickly returned back to normal!

“Something’s strange!”

The old farmer muttered, and his rough hands grabbed onto the halo behind Qin Mu’s head. He squeezed heavily towards the center, and the halo got squashed into pieces along with the Earth Aeon Dao Fruit!

There was an extremely powerful energy inside the Earth Aeon Dao Fruit, and if it exploded, it could even blow a god into pieces. Yet only a soft pop rang out between his palms as they were erased!

The old farmer let go of his palm, and he saw an extremely faint yellow glow flowing throughout Qin Mu’s body. The glow slowly gathered behind his head, and the halo was gradually formed.

Not only that, the Earth Aeon Dao Fruit that had also been erased gradually reappeared as an apparition. Absorbing the energy from the ground, it gradually transformed from apparition to reality.

Not long later, that shriveled up fruit had taken shape once again!

“I can’t destroy it.”

The old farmer shook his head and said, “Both Mother Earth’s blessing and this fruit are too weird. Wait for Woodcutter to come and let him study it.”

Qin Mu sighed to himself and picked up his spirit. “Senior uncle, I’ve one more thing. Do you see that little fatty over there?”

The old farmer looked at Celestial Venerable Yu and asked bewilderedly, “Yes, why?”

“Can senior uncle please teach him the Martial Dao.”

Qin Mu beamed and said, “You don’t have to teach him any profound logic, just the basics and what the Spirit Embryo Realm can cultivate will do.”

The old farmer looked at Celestial Venerable Yu and snorted. “The flabs on this little fatty are all spirit pills that haven’t been digested, this shows that he’s really a glutton. His corporeal body and spirit indeed have to be trained by the Martial Dao. Leave it to me, I’ll make sure he’s lean and skinny after some time!”

Qin Mu hurriedly said, “There’s also a water qilin that can’t control his mouth, I’ll have to trouble senior uncle.”

The old farmer was unfazed and said, “Let Sanduo stay here and train him. Sanduo’s abilities aren’t much weaker than mine. That big horse of yours can also be trained by Sanduo.”

Qin Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly gave his thanks.

The old farmer brought Celestial Venerable Yu away and walked out. Qin Mu hurriedly ordered someone to deliver money to Imperial Preceptor’s manor. “Prepare some more great abundance coins, I can’t let Imperial Preceptor’s family be too poor.”

He then found the old bull and saw the old bull lying in the shade of a huge tree with the dragon qilin. Each of them had a water pipe in their hands, and there was tea beside both of them. Gongsun Yan was pouring tea for both of them while they puffed out clouds of smoke leisurely.

“I went to the prairie to fight, hehe, Mahakala is the devil ancestor of the devil race, a fierce adversity.”

The old bull bragged to the dragon qilin. “There were countless fierce warriors under him, but they were all defeated under my iron hooves. Only, the old master is weak and got injured by Mahakala. That’s right, do you plow? My bones are a little itchy now, let us go plow several hundred fields after drinking our tea!”

The dragon qilin scratched his belly and frowned. “I don’t have an addiction to plowing fields.”

Qin Mu walked up with a black face and said, “Senior Brother Sanduo, bring Ah Shui along if you are plowing fields later... Where did this tree come from?”

Gongsun Yan said with a smile, “This is my primordial spirit, I feel very familiar with this place, so I planted my primordial spirit down. It’s growing rather quickly. Plant your primordial spirit down too, I’ll water you every day.”

Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open. He raised his head and saw that this Primordial Tree had already grown over thirty yards. Luckily, this manor was big, so it didn’t look too eye-catching.

However, this Primordial Tree was still growing. After a short moment, it grew some more.

“Let us plant ourselves together, and when we are thick and sturdy, phoenixes will come to find us.”

Gongsun Yan lifted up the teapot and said with a smile, “I’ll teach you how to weave a phoenix nest, you can definitely attract phoenixes to come.”

Qin Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, “I like to run around and not be rooted to a certain place. Also, I’m not a tree.”

Gongsun Yan’s face dimmed.

Qin Mu hurriedly said, “When this Earth Aeon Dao Fruit is digested, I’ll plant it and grow another Primordial Tree to accompany you. Senior Brother Sanduo, please train Ah Shui and the water qilin harshly!”

Niu Sanduo acknowledged and pulled the dragon qilin along. He called the water qilin over and walked out of the city. “Let us go and plow several hundred fields outside the capital city first, let me teach you how to use the Martial Dao to relax your bones.”

The water qilin was rather respectful of him and said with a smile, “Does Brother Niu eat spirit pills?”

Qin Mu saw them off, and he suddenly felt a cooling sensation on his head. Gongsun Yan was watering him again, and she was very stubborn in wanting to grow a flower out.

Qin Mu was helpless, so he figured he might as well sit under her primordial spirit and get ready to open up the second divine treasure.

More than ten days later, he opened up a second divine treasure, and he got someone to invite the old farmer over. The old farmer came in a hurry and punched him once before leaving immediately.

Six to seven days later, Qin Mu ordered someone to invite him again. The old farmer punched him and left.

The old bull stopped him and asked, “Why doesn’t old master stay here? It saves you the trouble of running to and fro.”

The old farmer snorted. “I don’t feel good staying here, getting bashed by smart people every day. I’d rather run back and forth. Woodcutter is here, I’m leaving!”

Woodcutter’s voice came from afar, and he said with a chuckle, “Farmer, who is bashing you every day?”

The old farmer clenched his fist and had an unpleasant expression.
