Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 770 - 743: Wings of Fire (Part 2)
It grew more and more pleased, using its wings to form a canopy while gazing at Mr. Jiang soaring freely like a bird in the sky.
Even Yun Mo trembled a little, knowing that was Mr. Jiang’s aura. Yet as a Demon Cultivator, he instinctively feared Celestial Fire and hastily flew down from the tree house, preparing to seek shelter from Senior Hu or Senior Bai.
Then he was astonished to find that the cave under the tree house had disappeared!
Stunned, Yun Mo further realized his tree house was no longer in its original location but had been moved to the other side of the bridge, near the edge of the farmland.
Under the tree house, a small path paved with bluestones, surrounded by blooming clusters of flowers, led to a riverside stone table and stools adorned with a fruit platter radiating a fragrant aroma.
"Senior Hu! Senior Bai?" Yun Mo’s heart raced as he couldn’t understand how Mr. Jiang had done it. He had been cultivating in the tree house without feeling a thing, yet a drastic transformation had occurred outside!
"I’m here!" Hu Zhile responded with a wave, "Don’t worry, the Venerable Family has restrained its aura; there’s nothing to fear."
Although saying this, she too was taken aback just moments ago.
As Jiang Yuan admired the wings, the aura vanished without a trace. Hu Zhile noticed her cave surrounded by vibrant flowers, leaving only a bluestone path leading to the entrance.
Since the younger sister was invited by the City Lord of Cloud City to catch a traitor, she spent most of her time there, only exchanging for Immortal Jade at the Treasure Pavilion briefly at night, while the City Lord personally guided her cultivation.
Thus, having the cave to herself, Hu Zhile was engrossed in cultivation until she was jolted by the pressure. Upon coming out to investigate, she discovered her cave had relocated.
Having seen the unpredictable ways of the Venerable Family, she didn’t think much of it but was more concerned about whether their strength had increased, adding more pressure on her heart.
If her cultivation speed slowed down any further, she wouldn’t be able to offer any help, and the Family Immortal would truly become a mere pet!
"Mr. Jiang is truly remarkable!" Xie Chenyuan sighed wistfully in the pavilion.
Bai Yunqi emerged from the splashing waters of the Spirit Pool, nodding silently, "Indeed, humans are quite impressive. Their bodies are fragile, and their lifespans are short, yet once truly embarked on the path of cultivation, they’re much more formidable than Demon Cultivators."
Yun Ying entered a state of slumber, missing the lively scene;
Leng Yutang, having followed the design to refine a fire-gathering basin, sensed his Earth Spirit Flame becoming much more docile as the pressure unfolded. He suddenly understood why Mr. Jiang could easily subdue Abnormal Fire — turns out he possessed even more powerful flame!
In retrospect, exchanging the Earth Spirit Flame for Elixir was actually to his advantage, as Mr. Jiang had such a dominant flame that the Earth Spirit Flame became dispensable.
Yet, Mr. Jiang still opted for the trade, proving to be the epitome of handsome and kind-hearted!
"Lucky to have made a huge profit selling Elixirs, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to splurge on seeds for these six hours." After having his fun, Jiang Yuan walked on air, gazing at the newly unlocked landscape in the System Mall and decided to bite the bullet—buy!
[New Landscape: Menghua Treasure Ship]
[A dreamlike, luxuriously crafted treasure ship made from countless gold and silver jewels, capable of flying and landing within a specified range; it once roamed the Celestial River, still harboring the air of the Celestial River]
Jiang Yuan: !!!
For the first time, the system explicitly stated the origin of the landscape!
The Celestial River... He glanced at the damaged Celestial Water Mirror in his Storage Bag and suddenly wondered if adding some water to berth the treasure ship within would allow the ship and its passengers to reach the Celestial River.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a massive dark shadow resembling a snake yet somewhat akin to a dragon slowly swam across the shining surface of the Celestial Water Mirror.
"Forget it, who knows what dangerous things lie deep in the Celestial River. Getting trapped inside would be problematic." Jiang Yuan immediately dismissed the thought, pulling out the treasure ship purchased for eight million Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag.
Casually placing it, a luxurious treasure ship, about ten meters long and with adjustable size, floated in the air.
"Phew!"
As soon as it was set, visible Spiritual Energy, carrying refreshing moisture, gushed forth, instantly making the air crisp and humid, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy increased significantly.
"Wow!"
Amid croaking frog calls, Jiang Yuan looked down to see all the members of the small courtyard gazing up.
Dusk was approaching, and the sunset cast brilliant light upon the treasure ship, truly a breathtaking sight.
"This is the promised residence for Ling Di; we’ll visit inside once it returns." He steadily landed with the invisible wings and cheerfully recorded with the Memory Stone, "Let’s snap it for a little eye candy for it."
As expected, Old Dog was immediately transfixed, wishing dearly to fly back and roll around on his own ship!
"Congratulations Master on acquiring a new treasure!" Wan Mingchuan exclaimed while running and panting, "First there was a dog brother, now I have a bird sister too. Sister Yun Shu has company, our little courtyard is getting more lively!
Master, I’ve just figured out a Secret Technique for fleeing, it’s a bit tiring but extremely useful for escaping. I’ve just shaken off a ferocious Demon Beast, once I’ve mastered it, you won’t need to worry anymore. If we can’t fight them, we can at least run away..."
Jiang Yuan: ...
What bird sister!
Mentally scoffing yet verbally praising his disciple to boost his confidence.
Ling Di immediately messaged, "Don’t listen to that silly kid rambling, what new discovery! I taught him secretly while he was sleeping!
They say you can’t gain weight with one bite. A cultivator’s Realm doesn’t skyrocket in a short time. Dog Lord wants to return home desperately and has given him the Secret Technique for escape. If you can’t win, at least run to save his skin. Once he’s proficient, I’ll go back! Hehehe... Thanks, Master! I love this treasure ship, it perfectly matches my vibe!"
"That’s fair, the sharpness of the Treasure Sword comes from honing, can’t always back him up like this." Jiang Yuan replied: "Thanks for teaching steadily, as long as he can save his life at critical moments, the rest is up to him."
Old Dog’s mouth twisted into a sly grin, "Rest assured, until Xiao Chuanzi can escape from under Dog Lord’s paws, that will be when he’s truly accomplished! Although I dare not boast, at the very least, below the Tribulation Crossing Realm, no one can catch him!"
After the brief bustle, Jiang Yuan’s account had dwindled to just over a million Spirit Stones.
The Wilderness had long descended, setting the small courtyard to invisible mode, with some detail settings left unattended, when news arrived of attacks on Sand Hill City’s Protective Array.
Hurriedly bringing Bai Yutang’s freshly made treasure basin, he transported to assist City Lord Ming, simultaneously curious about the Silver Valley’s five notorious merchants and their wares.
Blazing Sand Hill City seemed to ignite the air itself, Shi Kesong desperately wished his fan could turn into a propeller as the heat baked him into a sweaty rage.
"Bang!"
Without uttering a word, he immediately summoned his Magical Treasure to strike the nearly invisible City Defense Array, sneering, "Such a flimsy Array, yet it dares to keep me outside the gate?"
And then nothing happened. The seemingly weak light quivered slightly, his Magical Treasure burst into dazzling brilliance, and the attempt to intimidate Sand Hill City failed.
Upon the Protective Array being attacked, Ming Qingyan was toiling at the pit bottom, mining fire stones.
Feeling the attack, she mourned the expense—those burning were Spirit Stones!
Which ungrateful brat dared to mess with Sand Hill City!
Ming Qingyan immediately bellowed, soaring from the Sky Pit, her armor casting a bright red cloak, flicking flames into a spear, she flew out of the Array, only to see the five notorious merchants with a throng of subordinates, a swarm in sight.
"So it’s you parasitic vermin." She sneered, shouting toward the city, "The Silver Valley’s five merchants attempt once again to enslave our Furious Fire Bear Race, managing them like thralls. Children, focus on cultivation and mining, Sand Hill City is under my guard, I won’t let them set foot inside!
This was actually meant to reassure the tribespeople, lest they be frightened.
Jiang Yuan had set permissions to allow only administrators besides himself to enter and exit freely, without administrator consent, anyone attempting to enter or exit would be blocked by the Array. In other words, as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, those below the Tribulation Crossing Realm have no choice.
But Ming Qingyan’s biggest dilemma was the shortage of Spirit Stones, prompting her urgency in mining fire stones, as Mr. Jiang had already solved distribution, Sand Hill City now merely needed sufficient time.
But the five merchants, unfazed by the cold poison, suddenly acted treacherously, causing her frustration yet slight concern, ever ready to seek help from Mr. Jiang.
