Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 846 - 779: You Want to Be a Pet Too? (Part 2)
"Strange, why doesn’t Yun Shu use the Teleportation Talisman?" Watching the video again, he scratched his head, feeling somewhat confused.
Logically, within less than a minute, she could completely burn energy to resist while taking out the Teleportation Talisman to attempt escaping danger. Could it be that she didn’t think of it? Or is there something else going on?
It seems we’ll have to wait for Yun Shu to wake up to know the answer.
Jiang Yuan sorted the refining materials needed from the list into categories, placed them properly, and went to call Leng Yutang.
This man truly deserves the system’s certified title of "genius." During this time, while refining artifacts in the courtyard and freeloading meals and accommodation, he surprisingly advanced a Realm.
However, compared to others, the Tribulation Crossing’s thunderclouds for an Artifact Refiner are much smaller.
Plus, he was well-prepared, throwing Tribulation Crossing Magical Artifacts and Magical Treasures one by one in an orderly manner, progressing smoothly with advancement, formally being promoted from a three-rank to a four-rank Artifact Refiner.
"Mr. Jiang, what brings you to me?" Leng Yutang greeted with a bow, feeling somewhat anxious.
Last time, when discussing the forging of the Fire Gathering Basin, there was only one left to complete. Could it be that he dislikes my constant freeloading, and wants to inquire about the deadline, politely asking me to leave?
Actually... the Angry Fire Bear might be a bit clumsy, but upon closer inspection, it’s kind of cute, right?
Maybe if I act cute like Qing Niao or a lark, would Mr. Jiang consider taking me in?
Ah, those two are charming girls who are delightful when acting cute, but for me...
In Leng Yutang’s mind flashed the image of a bear flaunting, instantly causing his face to flush with shame.
Jiang Yuan: ???
What’s up with this guy? Is he really this socially anxious?
I just asked if he had time to discuss something, why did his face turn red all the way to the neck?
With him looking so flushed, calling him into the room felt a bit strange. So, just to avoid misunderstanding, let’s clear things up here instead.
"Last time, Daoist Leng participated in the modification of Yun Ying’s puppet, do you have insights on refining and repairing puppets?"
Upon hearing him mention artifact refining, the overly imaginative Leng Yutang immediately perked up, "Eh? Not asking me to leave?"
That’s great!
"Of course!" He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodding vigorously, and explained, "Before, I always heard my master say that a true Artifact Refiner should be able to refine all ’artifacts’ in the world. But as I had never witnessed it myself, I didn’t understand how other ’artifacts’ are refined.
After assisting in modifying and refining the puppet last time, I gained some understanding, though the materials and techniques used were slightly different. After comprehending thoroughly, I should be fine with simple repairs and refinements."
He paused for a moment, then hurriedly added, "If it involves deeper modifications and refinements, I’ll need Miss Yun Ying’s assistance to ensure it’s flawless."
Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand, "Originally, when assigning a residence, Yun Shu said she didn’t need to cultivate, so she didn’t ask for one. I’ve temporarily placed her in a guest room on the second floor, please Daoist Leng go check on her situation to see if any repairs can be made."
The other person was startled. "What’s happened to Miss Yun Shu?"
Only after asking did he remember that she had been traversing in the Void for a while, could she have encountered danger?
When did she return?
How did she return? How did I not notice any movement at all?
"I’ll go call Miss Yun Ying too; earlier, the modification of her puppet was done following Miss Yun Shu’s pattern, she might be able to help fill in the gaps."
Upon learning Yun Shu was in trouble, Yun Ying hurried over, even Yan Xuan, who was lying full and satisfied by the Spirit Pool, came to join the fun.
"Oh my? She’s also a puppet? But what exquisite craftsmanship!" It craned its neck by the bedside, curiosity brimming as it peered over, "How did she end up damaged like this, poor thing, does she feel pain?"
While collaborating with Leng Yutang in the inspection, Yun Ying patiently explained, "Our souls must control the entire body, so we need sufficient Perception, but ultimately, it’s a puppet rather than a real body, the skin isn’t as sensitive.
It will surely hurt, but not as severely as when other Daoists get injured, and it should be bearable. Yun Shu’s current condition means she probably doesn’t feel anything anymore as the Energy didn’t enhance during the injury."
"Mr. Jiang prepared very suitable refining materials, I have no problem just repairing the exterior body." Leng Yutang cast a questioning glance toward Yun Ying, "About the puppet’s core, I’m really unfamiliar, and have to rely on you, Miss."
"I’m fine too!" Yun Ying responded confidently, "If the damage were more severe, I wouldn’t dare boast, but since her core damage isn’t that bad, as long as there’s enough material, it can be repaired."
Inwardly, Jiang Yuan marveled again, there’s strength in numbers.
Having professionals readily available when needed is incredibly convenient!
Bound as a tool, Yun Ying is considered one of the members of the small courtyard, regularly entitled to benefits, fixing Yun Shu naturally won’t require discussing payment.
But Artifact Refiner Leng Yutang is neither a relative nor close, so discussing how many Spirit Stones are needed for repairing Yun Shu seems necessary.
"Ah! Mr. Jiang doesn’t need to be so polite." Speaking of compensation, Leng Yutang’s heart again palpitated robustly, rubbing his hands slightly nervously, he pondered his wording delicately, "I actually have been wanting to discuss with you... whether... I could use my artifact refining skills to exchange for... temporary residency qualification in your courtyard?"
Yan Xuan’s bird head turned agilely around, probing over with an alert expression, "What? Are you also trying to become my master’s Spirit Pet?"
Although he wanted to nod, Leng Yutang realized that could be a fatal trap.
How could he dare to equate himself level with a Tribulation Crossing Realm master, becoming Mr. Jiang’s pet?
"No no no, elder is joking. As a junior, how could I dare dream of establishing a contractual relationship with Mr. Jiang?"
He hurriedly waved his hand, "It’s just that the Spiritual Energy in Mr. Jiang’s courtyard is abundant, quite enviable. Besides, associating with all these elders is so pleasant. So, I wondered if I could also bask in the glory... anything needed regularly, I’m available on demand! Especially refining Magical Artifacts and Treasures for all the elders, there are surely times when they come in handy..."
While he spoke, his confidence waned, naturally lowering his voice.
Jiang Yuan understood immediately, ah, the feng shui of our little courtyard is irresistible!
After all, having one more person wouldn’t drain Spiritual Energy; freeloading isn’t a big deal either;
Moreover, having met him not only did I receive the Earth Spirit Flame, but also handled important materials for crafting Resurrection Talismans after visiting Sand Hill City; he knows refining, is a formal inheritor of the Celestial Craft Sect...
So let him stay permanently, it is then! The materials required by the system’s workbench and the Treasure Forging Workshop are too demanding, often it’s more economical to let Leng Yutang craft things that can be made do.
Besides, enjoying basic benefits living in the courtyard, anything else he’d do wouldn’t require payment, hehe!
"Where’s the courtesy in what Daoist Leng said, our relationship needs no formality, choose a room you like on the second floor and move in," Jiang Yuan decided immediately, "By tomorrow morning when everyone’s back, I’m preparing a lot of nice food and wine to celebrate Daoist Leng’s permanent stay, let’s have a good celebration!"
Since it’s not adopting a Spirit Pet, there’s no possibility of him competing with me for favor, Yan Xuan was delighted, "Great, now there’s tasty food again!"
Without delay, Leng Yutang chose a guest room, officially moved in, then began discussing details of Yun Shu’s repair with Yun Ying.
Jiang Yuan beckoned, "Yan Xuan, let’s continue working!"
Clearing the first plot in the purified World Tree branch dungeon mostly exploded Farmland Upgrade Cards, wonder what the second plot will yield.
If there are special materials, that would be great, Yun Shu is still missing two repair materials here!
"Coming, coming!" Yan Xuan trotted eagerly, after eating well and resting for a while, its spirits were high, wanting to perform meritorious service for rewards.
Especially the braised ribs cooked using Flood Dragon bones, biting into them was juicy and chewy, and somehow the outer layer processed retains an appropriate crunch, blending meat fragrance, sauce fragrance with majestic Spiritual Power, it couldn’t stop eating one mouthful after another!
Really wanting to binge three big servings!
Once inside the purified plot, Yan Xuan couldn’t wait to rush up the steps.
It had already planned out, just putting in some effort, gritting its teeth couldn’t hurt. If it hurriedly cleared this plot, then its master could make a big serving of braised ribs as a reward!
"Hehehe..." Yan Xuan chuckled as it thought, hopping towards the cluster of black mist, diving in headfirst.
Yet, happy in the previous second, but not in the next. Standing up on tiptoe with the turtle shell on its back, it wobbled out, "Oh no, oh no! It’s quite problematic in there, it’s full of weird things!"
Jiang Yuan: !!!
Is there really such a stroke of luck? My side quest finally has hope!
