Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 970 - 835: Treasure Seal and Immortal Shuttle (Part 2)

[Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Realm Alliance, Du Li’s Heaven-Flipping Seal: An ancient relic, it has been refined to become part of Du Li. It appears plain and without distinction, but is extremely domineering in use]

[???: The treasure buried in the deepest part of Lotus Peak, currently beyond the reach of the current level of the Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror.]

[Note: Due to the low level of the Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror, many items protected by arrays cannot be searched. Please upgrade it and try again for more details.]

"Interesting!" Jiang Yuan immediately clicked on the last image to view the details.

The perspective inside the mirror began to change, transforming into an aerial view of Lotus Peak. A bright spot indicating an undiscoverable treasure slowly flickered, precisely located at the sunken core of the lotus-shaped peak.

It seems that the terrain might have originally resulted from the fall of a Supreme Treasure, creating a massive crater forming the lotus center, with the erupted rocks layering into "petals," giving it the appearance of a blooming lotus.

[Are you searching for a lost treasure? Friendly reminder: The stronger the treasure’s power and the longer it has been lost, the stronger its self-protection. Lower-grade treasure-hunting magical treasures or arts find it more challenging to discover, locate, search, and excavate. Please upgrade the Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror for more precise clues.]

"Is this Lotus Peak?" Bai Yunqi pointed at the somewhat familiar scenery in the mirror, puzzled, "It seems not. If it were Lotus Peak, we should see this courtyard."

The place he pointed at displayed a dense forest, as if it had never been developed.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, this is Lotus Peak. We’ve set up an array similar to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, using the courtyard as the center. The Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror is too outdated to see through the array to the heavily protected area.

You’ve picked the right spot; there is indeed a treasure here, though its specifics are still unknown. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be tasked with overseeing the excavation work. Do you think you can handle it?"

Finally seeing proof of the secret hanging in his heart for years, Bai Yunqi couldn’t hide his smile and immediately saluted, saying, "I shall not fail the mission!"

He didn’t put the mirror away but exited to click and view Du Li’s Heaven-Flipping Seal.

[No energy fluctuations detected; information gathering is impossible. Please move closer to ensure the item is within the collectible range.]

Jiang Yuan: ...

"Forget it, let’s prepare for the feast!" He went to the kitchen, cooking while checking the reserves of meat and vegetables.

As winter approaches, the kinds of vegetables that can be planted greatly reduce. If preparations aren’t sufficient, it will require using valuable greenhouse resources for planting.

And the courtyard became lively.

Xie Chenyuan was the fastest to arrive after being notified. Upon entering, he grabbed Bai Yunqi, bombarding him with all the questions from his heart. The latter could only answer briefly on the parts he could reveal.

Hou Ze came in with a golden-haired little monkey on his shoulder, excited to join the gathering.

"Chirp chirp!"

Entering the courtyard, the little monkey’s eyes widened, tapping Hou Ze’s face with its paw to signal him to look at that ship.

"Hush! That’s called the Menghua Treasure Ship, home to a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert!" He swatted the little paw away, whispering, "We just made it to the point where we can freeload here; take it slow. We’re neither uniquely skilled like Yutang nor high-realm cultivators. We have to prove our worth somehow, right?"

"Chirp~" The golden-haired little monkey sighed deeply, turning to look at the crowd by the pavilion. Then its eyes bulged as it glanced at Yan Xuan, who emitted an unrestrained aura, almost fainting from shock.

After spending time on Trapped Snake Island, it had gained much knowledge but had never seen a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert!

Hou Ze smacked its forehead, "Pull yourself together. If this scares you stiff, how will you ever make connections with the great seniors? Pay attention to Yutang and learn; he mingles with the great seniors every day and isn’t intimidated."

Saying that, Leng Yutang warmly came forward to invite them to visit his abode, eager to share the recent collaboration with Yun Ying in repairing Yun Shu.

"Hey? Hey hey hey! Are you about to advance in realm?!" Hou Ze, upon sensing Leng Yutang’s vibrant aura, eagerly grabbed him and examined him up and down. Confirming it, he exclaimed with envy, "No wonder you’re residing in Mr. Jiang’s treasure land; in such a short time, you’re about to attempt advancing to a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!"

Previously eroded by cold poison, he struggled to survive, mainly refining magical artifacts to earn money for "treatment," leaving no time or energy for cultivation.

Once the cold poison was resolved, the long-suppressed talent burst forth, surging from the Third Grade to the Fourth.

In just a month or two, he’s now about to hit Fifth Grade; the speed is indeed astonishing.

"Shhh!" Leng Yutang quickly hushed him, lowering his voice, "Among the talents hidden in Mr. Jiang’s courtyard, my cultivation speed is only a mere start. Besides, I’ve gained much from recent insights, all thanks to Mr. Jiang. I not only obtained many precious Dragon Scales as refining materials but also got exposed to various intricate designs, pondering them overnight for occasional epiphanies leading to today.

Moreover, the first five grades for an Artifact Refiner are relatively simple. If I could advance to the Sixth Grade this fast, then it would be worth celebrating."

"Wonderful, wonderful indeed! Don’t be so modest; if I were advancing at your speed, I’d be over the moon!" While feeling happy for his friend, Hou Ze also pondered when he could advance another level himself.

While chatting, he turned and his gaze became fixed, immediately shifting the topic: "Yutang, who is that young lady..."
