According to Li Xingkong, Wu Ting got into position and shouted, "Shields, come!" Since everyone present was on his side, he wasn't embarrassed at all, and the shout was quite childish.
With a shout, a thin membrane of light spread from his arm, which was held across his chest, outwards until it formed a small shield that protected his chest.
This size was already the limit of his current Magic Power. The small shield, now fully formed, was attached to his arm and firmly fixed in place, as if it had grown out of his hand.
Compared to the unclear effects of the Rejuvenation Technique, the visual effects of the Explosive Counter Spell are clearly more obvious.
Looking at the gleaming shield in his hand, Wu Ting's face lit up with joy.
He tapped the surface of the shield, and the shield, formed from condensed Magic Power, emitted a crisp sound.
After he waved it for a while, the shield's color gradually faded, and after flashing a few times, its physical form disappeared.
"Why does this shield look so much like tank armor?"
Wu Ting's observations were quite meticulous; as a military enthusiast, he knew tanks inside and out.
"Pretty much, it's based on that."
Li Xingkong explained the origin of the spell to him, Wu Ting clearly liked it more.
Tanks, which I used to only see in military magazines, are now fully armored and look amazing.
Despite his happiness, he was almost out of energy, so Li Xingkong gave him a few energy bars.
It took about half an hour for both of them to recover mentally and physically; at least they looked more energetic.
"Wow, we're practically gods here."
Tang Cheng expressed his feelings, clearly showing that he only had a superficial understanding of immortals.
"Of course not, I'm just a minor Qi Refining, far from being a deity."
Li Xingkong said that although ordinary people may see some supernatural phenomena as divine means, that is only because they know too little about them.
"So, Brother Li, you actually just wanted to find a place to cultivate? That's why you acquired such a large piece of land?"
"Is cultivation necessarily confined to the mountains? Or should we move here too?"
When the topic of cultivation came up, Tang Cheng asked about it.
"Of course not. Besides cultivation, another aspect is that Body Tempering Grass is indispensable for cultivation."
Li Xingkong pointed to the rows of Body Tempering Grass in the vegetable garden.
If he hadn't mentioned it, the two of them would have almost forgotten that they came to visit Li Xingkong to see what he was growing.
" Body Tempering Grass? It looks like lettuce to me."
Tang Cheng walked to the vegetable patch and squatted down in front of a Body Tempering Grass, which looked like nothing more than a head of lettuce.
"This is an improvement I made from lettuce, so of course it looks similar."
Li Xingkong up to him, squatted down, casually tore off a leaf of vegetable, folded it twice, and then ate it.
Seeing Li Xingkong eat a piece so casually, Tang Cheng also reached out to tear off a piece to take a look.
Unfortunately, he tried several times but couldn't get it off, and he was starting to lose hope.
They called Wu Ting for help, and the two of them each grabbed one end and tore at it for a long time, but they couldn't tear off a single leaf.
The sheer strength of the leaf made them doubt their own abilities.
"Don't be surprised, it's normal. There aren't many materials on Earth Star that can match the strength of these blades."
With a wave of his hand, Li Xingkong sent the leaves the two had been tearing apart drifting down, leaving them stunned.
"What can you do with such strong leaves?"
Wu Ting picked up the leaves he had plucked, genuinely unsure of what they were for.
In his opinion, this material, with its strength, could even be used directly as material for rockets.
Li Xingkong took the leaf, bit into it, and a bite mark appeared on the leaf, which made Wu Ting a little uneasy.
With teeth like that, he could bite a tank like it's a chocolate bar.
"This is the problem after cultivation. The materials that aid cultivation are too hard to find; I can only figure it out myself slowly."
Li Xingkong ate and talked at the same time.
"More than that, these materials..."
Wu Ting thought about how he could eat a main battle tank in one sitting after he started cultivating; the image was indeed quite gruesome.
"By the way, has Brother Li ever considered cooperating with the government?"
Tang Cheng, however, gleaned something from Li Xingkong's words. Judging from the various materials Li Xingkong submitted regarding his land rental, his demand for land was sure to increase further.
When the area of land to be cultivated reaches a certain size, one person simply cannot take care of it all.
"I've thought about it, but I don't know anyone from any country. If I just show up at their door, they'll think I'm crazy."
Li Xingkong, then added another sentence.
"The main problem is that if I cooperate with the government, there will inevitably be people bothering me. One will come today, another tomorrow, which will disrupt my cultivation."
After listening to Li Xingkong's words, the two also felt that there was some truth to them.
Judging from the skill of Hibernating Dragon Technique alone, the time required for its cultivation must be considerable. Spending time on interpersonal relationships and worldly affairs would obviously affect cultivation.
"However, we still need to find a way to contact the official authorities of Divine Land, since the number of spiritual herbs planted will definitely increase, and we can't keep this a secret forever."
"Hehe, Brother Li, I'll help you with this."
Hearing that Li Xingkong was not opposed to contacting the authorities, Tang Cheng smiled.
He might not be able to help with other things, but he's good at this. Go back and talk to his father; he'll probably be able to get it sorted out.
"I guarantee I won't interfere with your cultivation, and no one else will bother you."
Li Xingkong and Wu Ting only knew that Tang Cheng's family had a highly skilled person, but they didn't know what his family did for a living. It wasn't really appropriate to ask them directly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Li Xingkong readily accepted Tang Cheng's goodwill, after all, he had also embarked on the path of cultivation, so they were practically on the same side, and mutual assistance was only right.
Most importantly, he has enough power to negotiate with the authorities.
" Xingkong, what are your plans after you've mastered your cultivation?"
Speaking of the official stance, Wu Ting was also quite curious about Li Xingkong's views on Divine Land after achieving great success in his cultivation.
"Successful cultivation? After achieving success in cultivation, the first thing to do, of course, is to give the Solar System a major overhaul."
For Li Xingkong, achieving success in cultivation meant he could traverse the universe and roam freely among the stars, so he certainly wouldn't care about Earth Star own small plot of land anymore.
For Wu Ting, what he really wanted to know was Li Xingkong's attitude towards the government, but after answering this question, he realized that he had been thinking too superficially.
That's right. Once they've achieved enlightenment, who would even bother with this tiny patch of Earth Star?
By then, the nations on Earth Star no longer had the right to have conflicts of interest with him.
As for now, at least for now, Li Xingkong is quite satisfied with the official attitude.
