Chapter 559: Unique Insight
Since he was already here, Jiang Yuan simply got up and called Chuci, expressing his wish to visit the ghost hunter who had taken quite a fall.
"Bro, did you encounter another supernatural event?" Chuci instantly became excited, "Can you take me along this time to see for myself?"
He truly didn’t expect this rich second-generation to be so interested in the supernatural, and laughed: "There’s not that many supernatural events for me to randomly bump into. I just suddenly remembered visiting him in the hospital last time; he had quite a heavy fall. It’s only right to pay him a visit since we’re in the same line of work."
"I see, then I’ll definitely get in touch!" Chuci responded promptly.
Jiang Yuan figured that as long as his phone rang, he’d hear it even in the Wilderness, and since he was already reaping rewards and addicted to it, he wouldn’t linger much longer here.
He called his parents via video, finding out that the old couple had headed to the southern seaside and had been exploring around; their outlook had broadened and they felt invigorated. They couldn’t sit idle, and were considering opening a small family eatery by the sea, selling some hometown delicacies.
Without much thought, he directly transferred them a million as starting funds.
His mom was truly a master at making noodles, and since they were willing to keep busy, he supported them, not expecting to earn money, just for fun.
The two farmers who had tirelessly worked day and night suddenly had both money and spare time, needing a transition period, otherwise, perpetual idleness would leave them uncomfortable.
After handling such trivial matters, Jiang Yuan deliberately turned his phone volume to the maximum and placed it by his pillow, then returned to the Wilderness World.
"Now there are only ten Acceleration Cards left. Should I slowly wait for them to grow and save the Acceleration Cards for other uses, or just leave one and complete the task first?" He confirmed again that he couldn’t implant Spirit Roots, and accepted it as such.
After all, he had the system; if cultivation wasn’t possible, then so be it—one shouldn’t be too greedy. The key was that not accepting it was useless. Just think about the Nine Nether Peach incident at Wo Hu Temple, not being a cultivator without Spiritual Power could have its advantages in certain situations.
Now, with the limited stock of Acceleration Cards, should he wait a bit longer?
Looking at the rather spacious, fluffy, and snow-white Cloud Field, Jiang Yuan’s mood was particularly good. It would be quite spectacular if all of this matured at once!
The key is, what’s being planted aren’t crops, but Spirit Roots! The legendary Spirit Roots!
I’m growing crops so skillfully, I can even plant Spirit Roots now!
Sadly, this joy could only be endured by himself and couldn’t be shared with anyone for now. If word got out that Spirit Roots could be planted, wouldn’t the entire Cultivation Realm go completely mad?
"Forget it, better to find a suitable person to give away a Spirit Root and see the effects first." After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait a bit longer.
Acceleration Cards can only be obtained as task rewards, better to save them for now.
Of course, there isn’t much urgent need currently, the Nine Nether Peach Tree requires too many cards at once; using it for Spirit Medicine seems wasteful—one card only accelerates the growth of a Spirit Medicine by a hundred years, nothing beats directly cultivating a Spirit Root!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yuan stepped out of a plot of Spirit Field to calm down, able to effectively manage his expressions, and then stepped through the door into the courtyard again.
The sky was already somewhat dark, and the Wilderness was about to descend.
Wan Mingchuan had finished teaching the entire set of broadcast gymnastics, watching a huge Ice-winged Eagle practicing earnestly.
Yun Mo was seizing the time to hold a Spirit Stone, absorbing Spiritual Power for cultivation, with a Spirit Root in his Dantian flickering with electric arcs; the Passive Skills check showed the quality as moderate;
Bai Yunqi slowly fanned himself, slightly raising his head awaiting the Wilderness’s descent, his top-quality Water Spirit Root emitted a blue glow, tender small leaflets covered in droplets, likely due to his high realm, his Water Spirit Root was bigger than others;
Hu Zhile’s Spirit Root was also top quality, but the Earth Element’s young sprout appeared somewhat lacking in spirit, slightly withered.
"Her Spirit Root seems damaged, yet I can only see it and not solve the issue..." Jiang Yuan mused, hoping that as the side tasks were completed more and more, the system would award means to heal Spirit Roots, enhancing his satisfaction!
Moreover, one glance revealing the location and condition of Spirit Roots, wouldn’t it be possible to directly extract Spirit Roots during fights?
He sent a message to Pavilion Master Cang, asking her to keep an eye out for better Water Element Techniques, so that when Hu Jiu brought them back, it would solve Wan Li’s cultivation issues.
[Dusk falling, Wilderness descends]
At precisely six in the evening, rolling dark clouds carried a magnificent spectacle as they descended, and the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Protection Array instantly shimmered with vibrant light, enveloping the small town at the mountain’s base for protection.
"No wonder human sects aren’t affluent." Bai Yunqi closed his fan, looking up at the radiant array with a slight smile: "If it merely protected Celestial Sword Sect’s little plot, it’d be manageable, but the entire array shielding human villages and towns consumes quite a bit of Spirit Stones every night.
"Now I understand why everyone from sect leaders to disciples in Celestial Sword Sect worked so hard last night; if anyone slackened, the sect’s Spirit Stones would definitely struggle to circulate."
Wan Mingchuan eagerly suggested, "Dragon Bro, shall we go hunt that big guy tonight?"
"Depends on whether the Venerable Family has time," Hu Zhile softly said, "Although the Demon Beast isn’t graded too high, it’s unbearably tough with many smaller Demon Beasts clinging to it, making it quite tricky to deal with.
The Celestial Sword Sect’s hunting squads can be disregarded; the true main force capable of confronting it relies entirely on Senior Bai, and I don’t provide much assistance, fearing it would be very tough."
Jiang Yuan became very interested upon hearing this. Since merging skills, he hadn’t tried the combat effect in a large scenario yet, so he immediately inquired about the situation.
It turned out that with the season shifting, the Wilderness around Celestial Sword Sect during summer descended into a hilly region.
A group of tough-skinned Giant-Horned Rhinoceros Demon Beasts resided here, extremely destructive, having razed two villages just on the first day of its descent.
The Celestial Sword Sect’s array barely managed to protect the towns at the mountain’s base; it simply couldn’t extend further, and the statues worshipped by villagers weren’t of high enough level to fend off these fierce and brutish Demon Beasts.
Sect Leader Fang, upon learning of this, divided Celestial Sword Sect disciples into numerous teams; some cultivating in sect during nights rich in Spiritual Energy;
Others searching for resources;
He led the hunting team for patrols, slaying any Demon Beasts they could kill to sell the Demon Core, and finding ways to divert those they couldn’t defeat towards the wilderness away from human villages, preventing innocent civilians from suffering.
Last night, Bai Yunqi led a team with Sect Leader Fang in hunting, discovering the hideout of the Giant-Horned Rhinoceros leader. Once this big guy was dealt with, other Demon Beasts could be hunted one by one, ensuring that no villages would be razed overnight for at least the whole summer.
"In that case, we hunt together tonight." Jiang Yuan glanced at the sky outside the array, filled with bright moons and sparse stars, mindful of quickly completing the human support plan side task.
The entwining of two worlds was an unchangeable reality, and without enough strong kin backing, how many mundane folk would have to endure nights of constant fear?
Only when there are more human cultivators with higher realms could there be a voice. Then, the pinnacle forces in both worlds could meet evenly and negotiate their respective rights and obligations, allowing better fusion of the two worlds.
Additionally, he was curious whether his new passive skill, capable of seeing through cultivators’ Spirit Roots at a glance, would enable him to see Demon Cores inside Demon Beasts?
If Demon Cores transform into Spirit Roots, could it be the fundamental reason Demon Beasts become Demon Cultivators?
Fang Shouye, upon hearing Mr. Jiang planned to help hunt the Giant-Horned Rhinoceros leader, rubbed his hands excitedly, "That’s wonderful! Sir willing to assist is excellent!
We usually remain cautious, fearing to provoke that big guy; if it went berserk, it could destroy several villages in one night! Slaying it would make the inhabitants within a hundred miles much safer!"
