Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 171: Even the Landlord’s Family Has No Surplus Grain

Jiang Yuan was worried about the small courtyard’s team building to farm Elixirs; bringing Hu Zhile was obviously not suitable, but leaving her alone wasn’t ideal either, so this was perfect!

She wanted to stay low-key at the Market on Cyan Fish Mountain, and Jiang Yuan could take the team to farm Ice Cave NPCs.

More importantly, it seemed from Hu Zhile’s words she intended to stay at the small courtyard for a while. With her help to get musk every day, just the thought of it was blissful!

Readily agreeing, Jiang Yuan learned from her that it was indeed a bit troublesome for a Cultivator to go to the Market, so with the intention of gaining favor, he immediately led her into the Floating Market, effortlessly switching to Cyan Fish Mountain Market with just a push and pull of a door.

"Thank you, sir, for the assistance! Otherwise, even if I wanted to come here, I would have to fly for a while to find the Market entrance." Hu Zhile, once again witnessing the mysterious methods, was shocked to the core.

After elegantly bowing, the favorability increased by 40, which made Jiang Yuan very satisfied.

Putting on a cloak to conceal her figure, she left the store, stood on the bluestone road, and couldn’t resist looking back. The small shop with the closed door was as usual.

"Truly bizarre, neither an Array nor any Spiritual Energy fluctuation, how could it teleport from the small courtyard to the Market instantly?" Hu Zhile was utterly puzzled.

Lady Hu Jiu was worried about her third sister, but she didn’t dare to hastily activate the Communication Stone to send a message, afraid it would be discovered by the young gentleman.

Since yesterday when her third sister ventured and followed until today when the Market opened, she neither closed her eyes nor had any thought to play around, sitting worriedly at her family’s Cloth Shop entrance with her fox eyes almost staring into the distance.

"Third sister!" The moment Hu Zhile came out of the general store, Lady Hu Jiu caught sight of the familiar figure and jumped up excitedly, lifting her skirt in joy with her fox tail high as she ran over.

Hu Zhile frowned slightly, smelling the scent of her little sister from afar, and quietly pulled her aside to scold her: "Why are you shouting? Not cultivating properly and wasting such beautiful years, you’ll panic and regret it when your lifespan is at its end without a solution."

"I was just worried about third sister’s safety! So, how? Does the young gentleman have anything to do with the robbery case? Did you see his true appearance? Is he handsome? Did you fight him? How strong is he..."

A series of questions came pouring out, and looking at her little sister, eyes full of stars, Hu Zhile couldn’t help but sigh, "You... have to admit, when it comes to picking a young gentleman, your taste is quite good."

Previously, she received letters from her little sister every now and then, either criticizing a shopkeeper’s lack of strength or complaining about a suitor’s ugliness. The Snow Mountain Fox Race was born beautiful and naturally charming, even if her little sister’s Transformation Technique was not well-cultivated, her every move could still captivate hearts, naturally attracting many suitors.

She was wholeheartedly looking for a Dual Cultivation partner, not without reason.

However, her high standards and picky nature of the past now faced a human Cultivator whom she hadn’t even seen clearly, yet with a simple deduction, she had already decided—a testament that the young gentleman was outstanding both in appearance and strength.

If her little sister could truly be content and become dual cultivation partners with him, naturally there would be no worry in enhancing strength and lifespan.

After all, with such treasures as the Immortal Peach from Wo Hu Temple that extend longevity, he even had the opportunity to contend for them, let alone other earthly treasures?

"Didn’t I tell you he’s great?!" Lady Hu Jiu’s eyes widened with excitement, ears perked up at her third sister’s words, hopping around excitedly, "Third sister, quickly tell me, is he an Alchemist? If I follow him, can I eat Elixirs like candies? How did you gain the young gentleman’s trust enough to enter his general store..."

More questions were hurled her way, but Hu Zhile did not immediately answer and instead warned, "The young gentleman you’ve chosen is indeed excellent in every way, except for one thing—his strength is so impressive he might not even look at you."

The excitement and grin on Lady Hu Jiu’s face froze instantly, her eyes blinked, and even her whiskers twitched, "D... does he have someone he likes already?"

"That, I am not sure," Hu Zhile sighed helplessly, "but the young gentleman is someone whom even our Lady wished to befriend by gifting a Corpse Poison Pill. You know, in the Cultivation Realm, strength reigns supreme. For someone like him, as soon as any thought of Dual Cultivation is hinted at, countless young, beautiful, and strong female cultivators would flock around."

She patted her little sister’s fluffy fox cheeks, irked by her laziness, "Look at you, where’s your competitiveness? Not to mention Dual Cultivation, even warming his feet might get you rejected."

These words were undoubtedly heavy, but Hu Zhile aimed to motivate her little sister’s competitive spirit, so she could settle down and focus on Cultivation.

Sure enough, touched on her sore spot, Lady Hu Jiu pouted as tears cascaded down, "Boohoo... I must cultivate diligently! I can’t let myself, a proud fox elf, fail to even snag a young gentleman!"

This was precisely what Hu Zhile was waiting for. She was greatly heartened and took her sister’s hand with a firm tone, "Let’s go, I will personally oversee and guide you. First, cultivate your Transformation Technique properly, I too wish to see how beautiful my beloved little sister will be upon formally transforming!

In these few days, I will keep an eye on the Foundation Establishment Pill’s information. If you can successfully establish your foundation early and choose a good name, consider it a complete rebirth."

However, Lady Hu Jiu was bitter; she spent her thoughts on gossip and pondering men, mainly to slack off from Cultivation and enhance her strength through Dual Cultivation.

Finally finding an outstanding young gentleman of her dreams, she realized she still had to cultivate hard to improve her strength for a chance at Dual Cultivation with him, making her feel like she had fallen into some bizarre loop...

On the other side, organizing a team building, Jiang Yuan’s mood wasn’t great either.

Everyone was in their position and ready. As usual, he clicked to challenge, but the opposite did not stand up. Instead, he raised his serene gaze at them and said, "You have challenged many times. Except for you and that young man in white, the others seem to have not improved much. To challenge me to gain Good Karma, perhaps more serious cultivation is necessary."

As she spoke, she waved the Duster in her hand, making the ice wall behind her disappear, revealing a giant painting.

On it, a picturesque mountainous landscape shrouded in immortal energy clouds could be seen. The angle changed, entering and traversing the mountains, revealing ancient trees and numerous rare treasures exuding an ancient vibe. However, the scene shifted again, showing a terrifying group of monsters in the valley. Some squirmed, some emitted black miasma, and more bizarre corrupted Demon Beasts roamed therein, sending chills down the spine.

"This is just a tip of the ice mountain I sealed. With your current strength, even if you manage to enter, it would be a dead end." She swung her Duster again, raising a golden ice wall to obscure the painting.

In front of the rock where the Daoist sat, a blue ice wall also formed. Her clear voice resonated from behind the ice wall, "To challenge me, try breaking this ice wall with one strike first."

After the words ceased, except for the heavy veil of white fog exuded by the ice wall in front, the entire Ice Cave was silent.

Jiang Yuan’s mouth twitched, understanding that there were no surplus provisions in the landlord’s house, hence adding difficulty to the challenge to prevent excessive Elixir farming.

At first, she didn’t expect anyone would come over daily just to farm Elixirs...

"Who wants to try first?" He stepped aside and directed his gaze towards the people and demons beside him.
