Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 666 - 657: Spirit Root Upgrade Blueprint!

The entire day, Jiang Yuanxin felt as if several small kittens were scratching at his heart, making it unbearably itchy.

He was tremendously looking forward to the new distillery!

Tea can manifest the demeanor of a master; while wine can truly embody the aura of an expert.

Whether in novels or films, the unrivaled masters always chug a jug of wine and then smash it hard, emitting an aura of unyielding heroism.

Moreover, the system had already "spoiled" it: once the distillery is built, it can brew the Star River Dream Wine that can counter the vine prison.

That is a unique cultivation technique created personally by an expert in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and just brewing a jar of wine to solve it is a testament to how formidable the products from the system's distillery are!

But he'd already traversed all the maps he could during the day, and lingered a while longer at Miss Chan Yu's place, firstly to give her the glasses purchased by Pavilion Master Cang, lest her poor eyesight always hinder her;

Secondly, even though the Mist Barrier Swamp is a harsh environment, it is relatively safer during the day, and Miss Chan Yu, both excited and delighted, invited him to witness the significant changes that have occurred in the marshland over recent times.

The acquisition in the toxin industry didn't cost Jiang Yuan many spirit stones, yet it allowed the demon cultivators in the swamp to live more prosperous lives than before, energizing everyone, and making Miss Chan Yu, once marginalized, suddenly a beloved figure in the swamp.

Having more interactions with other demon cultivators, the previously shy and introverted Miss Chan Yu became significantly more open, at the very least, no longer stammering in speech.

Jiang Yuan was pleased to see the swamp rejuvenated by "diligent prosperity", but he was even more eager to get the distillery built quickly. As for the randomly rewarded blueprints, they're bonuses anyhow, alleviating any expectation of uncovering hidden ones.

But the more he anticipated, the more time seemed to stretch infinitely, sometimes feeling like ages had passed, only to find that not an hour had elapsed.

As he eagerly awaited the stars and the moon, night finally fell.

With rolling dark clouds carrying the fusion of the Wilderness World and the Human World, Jiang Yuan immediately opened the door, entered the Floating Market and headed to the Golden Chicken River, then sprinted a hundred meters, controlling his sword in flight to reach the Golden Chicken Seal.

Collecting enough water amidst the torrential rain, there was neither time nor energy to explore underwater whether the barrier information Zhao Yongxiang had after soul searching was truly present.

He then collected water from the Golden Carp Lake Market; lastly, he opened the teleportation scroll, selected his target, and in the next second appeared in the designated city.

"Huh? Isn't this the Cold Spring? Why is there no water collection point?" Once Jiang Yuan landed, numerous details popped up in his view. The river running through the city was marked as the Cold Spring, but he did not see the familiar green checkmark.

Whether it's swamp water or lake water, a vast water area in front would float up a huge green checkmark, indicating water collection was permissible here.

With just one more bow left after ninety-nine, only to end up scouring the map for a system-designated water point, rather than collecting more, somewhat spoiled the mood.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as getting familiar with the new map." Jiang Yuan consoled himself, controlling his sword flight over half of the map marked with the Cold Spring location.

Finally, only the most remote water area behind the Cold Spring Temple was left, so he had to restrain his impatience, put away the Clear Wind Sword, and moved with the many worshippers into the temple on foot.

A strong fragrance of incense wafted forward, arousing his curiosity about how the Buddhist cultivators made progress in an era where ghosts are near, and gods are far. Do they chant and eat vegetarian all day? Can gods and Buddhas grant responses?

"Have you heard? Last night another demon cultivator found Spring Bottom Gold in the cold spring behind the mountain, made a fortune!"

"Is it true? It's been years since anyone could withstand the piercing cold of the deep Cold Spring to extract Spring Bottom Gold. That's why its price has skyrocketed. Who's such a tough one that could endure it?"

"I don't know if it's true or false, but rumor has it that it's a foreign demon cultivator with thick skin to resist the cold invasion. I heard they will try to extract Cold Jade at deeper levels tonight."

"No wonder there are so many people entering the temple; turns out they're all here to watch the show? I thought all these demon cultivators were just like me, unable to achieve anything and came for the monks' monthly charity meal."

"Tsk, getting charity meals while watching the spectacle."

"The Cold Spring Temple really lives up to being a rich Buddhist stronghold freely mining Cold Jade and Spring Bottom Gold, indeed wealthy and generous. Once a month, the charity meal is made from expensive glazed rice. Unfortunately, each person can only receive a portion, if only I could get more, just having the vegetarian meal would match the effects of taking an elixir..."

...

Amidst the bustling crowd, Jiang Yuan heard lively discussions, becoming curious about how Spring Bottom Gold was extracted? It sounded like anyone could try it without being stopped.

Following the map and the flow of people, he quickly arrived at the cold spring spot behind the temple, seeing from afar a shiny green checkmark on the deep pool.

"The system sure knows how to pick places. Let me draw the water first!" He didn't squeeze forward with the crowd but chose a sparsely populated spot to take out a bottle from his storage bag to fill with water, then saw a bright layer of gold at the bottom!

[Spring Bottom Gold: A unique product found within the deep cold spring, a high-grade refining material, one of the materials for upgrading the Dragon Roar Sword, Chaotic Heaven Bell, etc. Note: The water within the deep cold spring is different from elsewhere, extremely cold while yielding Spring Bottom Gold and Cold Jade, inducing hallucinations, those lacking willpower can easily become distracted and poisoned by the cold. Note: Poisoned by the cold can be cured with the Star Flame Antitoxic Pill]

It turns out this was the Spring Bottom Gold those people discussed earlier; indeed, a considerable amount was visible within the cold spring's deep pool.
