Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 555: Popular Science Mission

Has it succeeded just like that?

Wan Mingchuan was slightly stunned, as though he had grasped the art of summoning and beast taming in the blink of an eye.

He could feel that if he were elsewhere, just a thought would summon a flying mount to his side!

How did Master accomplish this? It’s simply too amazing!

Finally having a rightful identity, Eagle Fifty-Third excitedly bowed, placing his right wing on his chest, and respectfully said, "Thank you for making this possible, Mr. Jiang. Young Master, please guide me in the future."

"Since you’ve acknowledged a master, choose a name you like. There’s no such rule that forbids having a name before Foundation Establishment in our family." Jiang Yuan looked at the interface displaying the name "Eagle Fifty-Third" and asked for his opinion.

Eagle Fifty-Third was both excited and happy, momentarily unable to decide. He scratched the feathers on his head with his wing and bashfully smiled, "I also don’t know what name to choose. Please, sir, grant me a name!"

Jiang Yuan, who was not good at naming, frowned as he pondered on finding a meaningful name. But what should it be called after all?

"Venerable Family, Yun Shu also belongs to the Yun generation. Should Eagle Fifty-Third also choose a name from the Yun generation?" Hu Zhile, adept at reading expressions, seeing his difficulty, proactively offered a suggestion.

Eagle Fifty-Third pondered, realizing that acknowledging a master lowered his rank by one level, making it inappropriate to stand on equal footing with the master and the Dragon King. Choosing a name from the Yun generation would be overstepping bounds.

Thus, he cautiously said, "It seems inappropriate. How about I simply take the young master’s surname?"

Surname Wan?

Jiang Yuan’s eyes brightened, "That’s also good. How about calling you ’Wan Li’, wishing you a smooth cultivation path like a journey of ten thousand miles!"

"Thank you for the name, sir! May your blessings come true!" Eagle Fifty-Third bowed gratefully and happily accepted the new name full of blessings, and others congratulated him.

Amidst the lively atmosphere in Tingtai Garden, the sound of a door knock rang out, "Mr. Jiang, our Sect Leader requests your presence in the main hall for an important negotiation."

Still having urgent duties to attend to, Jiang Yuan casually handed over a bottle of Fifth Grade Spirit Core Pills, "First refine the Blood Replenishing Pill to completely heal your injuries, then cultivate with them. We’ll discuss other matters when I return."

Watching Mr. Jiang hurriedly leave, feeling touched by the rich spiritual energy of the Elixir in the Jade Bottle, Wan Li suddenly realized with hindsight, "Huh? Dragon King, isn’t Mr. Jiang... unable to see?"

Upon stepping into the main hall, Jiang Yuan indeed wished for a moment that he couldn’t see, at least to preserve a somewhat idealized image of cultivators.

Wan Mingchuan, after all, lacked cultural refinement, struggling to find words, making gossip dull and uninteresting.

If it were the most adept at spreading gossip, Miss Hu Jiu, to relay it, she’d definitely pique the curiosity of Xiao Bai and the others, sneaking over to watch the excitement.

The scenes in the main hall just moments ago were evidently very dramatic.

Old Master Ouyang staged a classic "Dragon King Returns" reversal, exposing those cultivators who were secretly spreading rumors and lurking.

After a fierce verbal battle, those cultivators, who once carried a bit of Immortal Aura, lost their grace, with many becoming red-faced and arguing over past grievances.

Such a scene made Jiang Yuan think of a saying—this world is a vast makeshift troupe.

[Side Quest: Human Support Plan]

[Quest 3: Educate human cultivators on the basics of the mysterious.

Based on current known information, focus on explaining the meanings of the words: world collapse, Ghost Realm, and mysterious, so human cultivators can understand the crisis they face and thus raise their vigilance. Reward: Demon Suppression Scripture +1]

[Demon Suppression Scripture: A Yellow Tier Low-Level Cultivation Technique that anyone with a Spirit Root can practice. Strengths: No threshold, easy to learn at first glance, smoothly guiding many individuals with Spirit Roots onto the path of cultivation. Drawbacks: Cultivation technique level is too low, suitable only as an entry-level technique, with average defense and combat power]

As he stepped into the main hall, a new quest suddenly emerged. Jiang Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, wondering if the system was truly anxious or if this side quest required a multifaceted approach.

"Mr. Jiang, you finally arrived." Fang Shouye was distressed, with a formidable enemy in sight, why were these people still focused solely on vying for fame and profit?

If united, they might still have a chance to survive, allowing human cultivators to continue their legacy. But remaining as loose sand, they’d sooner or later be obliterated by the ever-watchful Demon Cultivators!

After explaining the problems they faced, instead of figuring out solutions, they started arguing about who should be the Alliance Leader again.

What’s the point of being an Alliance Leader?

Put plainly, everyone here is trash! It’s already something if combining forces doesn’t lead to internal strife and they can withstand pressure, yet they place spies and buy people off. At this rate, the Human World truly is doomed!

"What we lack now is a person who can command respect." Ouyang Qing sighed, "If I could advance to Golden Core, perhaps I could manage the big picture with my reputation. As it stands now, Mr. Jiang, we must trouble you."

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, as the Human World is on the brink of collapse. Please, both of you, take a seat. I will begin with Lu Erxi, explaining to everyone the situation about the void, world collapse, and the Ghost Realm and mysterious."

Until today, all the cultivators in the main hall were still proudly defiant. Rising to become a cultivator among countless mortals was something to be truly proud of.

They prided themselves on their vast knowledge, somewhat looking down upon the mortal world.

But as Mr. Jiang formally explained those words they never heard of, the wise among them began to realize how narrow-minded they had been.

"The world fragments sucked into the Ghost Realm largely disappear completely, while some are fortuitously spit out. However, by then, they have been polluted and become the mysterious, like the Green-eyed Fox Race that possessed Lu Erxi and Lu Shaojie, former cultivators polluted and mutated after escaping the Ghost Realm."

Jiang Yuan spoke from the world’s budding to the disappearance of Spiritual Energy and the world collapse, finally introducing the main topic, solemnly stating, "This morning, I specifically took a tour around Wangshi Ridge, planning to arrive early to persuade the Lu father and son back onto the right path, but discovered signs of a mysterious invasion.

Yesterday, after the father and son left the Celestial Sword Sect, they once again communicated with the Green-eyed Fox Race that possessed them, learning a method to journey faster, and at noon, gathered a large number of sect members to request granting skill, subsequently fleeing with the Life-Buying Money given by the Green-eyed Fox Race.

The mysterious Soul Fragments within the sect members have been purified by me, yet the whereabouts of the Lu father and son remain unknown.

They will continue their activities even more secretly and covertly, and once someone is possessed, the mysterious within becomes a walking source of pollution. If not dealt with promptly, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Lu Erxi, that fool, even after seeing his son’s strange behavior, didn’t listen, causing harm to himself and others."

"Fortunately, yesterday Mr. Jiang warned the commoners not to be enticed by demons and evil spirits, and I immediately sent an attendant back to inform the government to issue a notice. It’s already a turbulent time, and if any more evil ways arise under our jurisdiction, it’ll be even more troublesome!"

"The vigilant Patriarch Duanmu acted decisively, having already done something about it. I must quickly send an attendant back with a message as well. Heaven forbid Lu Erxi flees to our territory; I have no knowledge of purification methods..."
