Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 675 - 663: A Bumper Harvest Tonight

Forget about everyone else, even Old Dog has his own exclusive item card, and damn, it seems... oh, there’s a line of small text: Ultra-high-level monsters using item cards can advance by one minor realm.

Got excited for nothing, thinking I could use this card to push Ling Di straight to the Great Perfection of Tribulation Crossing.

However, even a small realm is enough to allow it to directly ascend from the Great Perfection of the Mahayana Realm to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, dodging the Thunder Tribulation entirely. Old Dog really scored big this time!

Unfortunately, the system clearly states that it can only be used for the realm bonded when receiving the reward, so saving it for later isn’t possible.

"I’ll give it to them later, so the whole courtyard can celebrate the new year collectively!" Jiang Yuan thought cheerfully as he summoned the Dragon Roar Sword and headed straight for Cold Spring Temple.

Flying over the city, with demon cultivators occasionally rushing past and heading towards the site of the battle’s aftermath, seemingly wanting to take advantage of the situation.

Even though, the evil cultivators in Cold Spring City are not as many as the righteous ones. Initially, both sides were evenly matched, but soon it became like wolves fighting over scarce meat. Some weaker demon cultivators had to follow behind others to scavenge leftovers.

Apart from Jiang Yuan taking down the Zhao Family swiftly, the main fighting force was still the Buddhist cultivators from the Arhat Hall and the Dharma Court of Cold Spring Temple. Despite their usual "mercy, mercy" demeanor, they became extraordinarily fierce when slaughtering evil cultivators.

Estimating that the battles everywhere were almost over and didn’t need any assistance, Jiang Yuan decided to return to the temple to exchange for rewards first.

"Patron, single-handedly slaying three evil cultivators, indeed brave and skillful, mercy, mercy!" Zhiming personally supervises the retrieval and issuance of bounty orders to avoid wrongful killings among the crowd.

Upon seeing a cultivator with remaining tiger demon traits who had slain three evil cultivators, he sincerely praised him and expressed gratitude for his efforts to protect the city, then offered a piece of Spring Gold and a piece of Cold Jade.

Many demon cultivators watched in envy.

Initially, when evil cultivators appeared, they were panicked and could be selectively killed if their realms were somewhat lower. But as more demon cultivators joined, the evil cultivators were naturally insufficient to go around.

Most coming to claim their rewards only managed to kill one during the chaos and got some spirit stones; those who killed two evil cultivators could choose one piece from the Spring Gold and Cold Jade.

"Master, I’m here to submit my bounty order." Jiang Yuan quickly stepped forward, extended his left hand with a smile, and said, "This bounty order is interesting; it can even tally the numbers on its own. I didn’t meticulously count how many I killed, yet it calculates so clearly."

Upon hearing this, sneering sounds came from the observing demon cultivators, "Killing a few evil cultivators in just half a night without rest, is there a need to count intentionally?"

"Haha, being able to kill three like Friend Tiger is already exceptional, probably someone who can’t even count?"

"So young and small, yet with such a big mouth!"

"Ew! A mere human race cultivator, can he really be stronger than demon cultivators? I don’t believe it!"

"Friend, your big words, may we see how many tallies your bounty order actually has?"

......

Jiang Yuan really didn’t expect that a couple of casual compliments would bring about mockery.

He knew many demon cultivators looked down on human race cultivators and would always try to provoke, especially since they just went through a battle, emotions were heightened.

Not wanting to complicate matters, Jiang Yuan ignored the whistling and provocative sounds, extended his left hand for the master to verify and retrieve the bounty order.

"Wow!" Zhiming knew this one was strong, having been astonished at Cold Spring Deep Pool earlier, but never imagined how strong he actually was?!

"Patron Jiang, slaying 113 evil cultivators! Amitabha, killing over a hundred evil cultivators in just a few hours, Record this kind of achievement is unheard of for this poor monk! May I ask Patron Jiang how it was accomplished?" He couldn’t help but report the numbers aloud, looking at the young, tender face in shock and looked at the bounty order he had personally issued, which could not possibly have errors.

It’s a pity that this bounty order only records the number of evil cultivators killed but not how, leaving Zhiming in disbelief.

If using skills like moving mountains and filling seas for sneak attacks, one might be able to kill dozens of low-level evil cultivators in a short time, yet the city hadn’t shown major disturbances.

The Jade Throne Golden Buddha was activated for suppression, sealing the entire Cold Spring City temporarily like a fortress, disabling any teleportation methods, so Patron Jiang couldn’t have gone elsewhere to kill evil cultivators and fake achievements.

This, how was this achieved?

Zhiming, unable to contain his astonishment, called others in for a look.

Seven or eight monks hurried over, falling into silence at seeing the numbers on the bounty order.

"It’s not really a secret." Jiang Yuan cheerfully explained in simple terms, "As I mentioned to you before, I tracked the evil cultivator Zhao Gui here from Golden Chicken River Market. As the Jade Throne Golden Buddha forced evil cultivators to reveal themselves, I immediately rushed to Zhao Mansion. As expected, the entire mansion of over a hundred had no righteous cultivators, so I took them all down."

What he said is almost no explanation at all, as being a human race cultivator daring to roam the wilderness naturally means having some skills up your sleeve.

Zhiming, puzzled but unable to inquire directly about others’ methods, clasped his hands with a smile, "Amitabha, monks do not lie. Having mentioned that rewards can be claimed, naturally, we can’t renege, but Patron Jiang’s achievements are too dazzling. Please, give me a moment. This poor monk must consult the abbot brother on how to reward Patron Jiang properly."

Just as Zhiming was about to leave, he spotted many demon cultivators, previously making a fuss, now with darkened expressions after being proven wrong, and he turned to invite, "Patron Jiang, please move to a private room for tea."

Knowing this person’s record, likely, few brainless ones would dare provoke further.

Now worriedly considering if Patron Jiang, still inflamed with battle fury and killing intent, might stir up conflict, Zhiming wasn’t sure he could stop someone who killed 113 evil cultivators in such a short time and whose background was unknown. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Feeling a little light-headed, the frenzy had not yet abated in Jiang Yuan, and he smirked, glanced back at those demon cultivators who had been mocking him, and immediately the scene grew quieter.

Haha, playing the "villain" is quite fun!

Look at them scared, like a bunch of little chicks, not even daring to breathe hard.

As he pondered over what treasures he might get, Jiang Yuan followed Zhiming to the back courtyard. Passing a bustling porridge stall, he curiously asked, "Master, is this porridge offered by the temple? Using Glazed Rice to cook, truly generous!"

"Patron is unaware, but the demon cultivators of Cold Spring City rely on the Cold Spring to survive, even the temple depends on the Spring Gold and Cold Jade from the deep pool for expenses. However, the spring water is extremely cold, building up cold energy within the body over time without a way to dispel it. Ordinary demon cultivators might not have the spirit stones to seek elixirs for persistent ailments."

"To prevent the city’s cultivators from suffering due to cold energy invasion, the temple periodically cooks porridge with Glazed Rice as the main ingredient, supplemented with warming herbs and food ingredients, offering it to relieve the spread of cold energy greatly."

Truly a good temple with good monks, unlike some real-world temples focused entirely on business and making money.

"The Zhao Mansion of evil cultivators in the city has committed countless misdeeds, and when I slaughtered them earlier, I also seized their treasure vault and found a lot of stolen funds." Jiang Yuan, driven by his thoughts, sincerely said, "Since it’s ill-gotten spirit stones, they should be used for charity to do good deeds."

Earlier, he looted nearly ten million spirit stones, withdrawing five million and compacting them into five small stacks of a million each, planning to share half: Half for his courtyard;

The other half for the monks to help the weak, avoiding greed and hopefully offsetting any bad karma with this charity.

"Ah, this..." Zhiming, without reaching for the spirit stones, clasped his hands and explained, "Thank you for the donation, but this poor monk observes the precept of not handling money, please forgive this inability to touch them. Shortly, the monk in charge of charity will come to proceed, but this poor monk thanks Patron sincerely for the virtuous act."

Wow? Are there monks who don’t touch money?

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but be curious, observing the precept of not handling money, so when spiritual energy is insufficient during cultivation, do they just endure? Doesn’t it affect cultivation?

Moments later, sitting and sipping tea in a quiet room, indeed a middle-aged Buddhist cultivator came to manage the donation.

Hey? Does donating to the temple count as a good deed? Then if I donate every now and then, can I exploit a bug for rewards?
