Chapter 574 - 573 New Landscape—Starry Sky Mushroom
Wan Mingchuan acknowledged his limited perspective, but he wasn’t foolish enough to ignore the advice of the senior Lin Ruyun to venture out for training;
As for Lin Feng’s deceptive big promises driven by selfish motives, careful consideration was needed before indulging, lest he fall into a trap.
"Let me ask my master first, I need to follow his arrangements." He gave a perfunctory reply and completely withdrew from the world of Divine Sense, opening his eyes to see the thunderclouds rapidly dissipating.
Bright sunlight pierced through the split clouds, casting a golden glow over his master and companions.
[Side Quest: Gift from the Otherworld]
[Lin Feng, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, carried a family treasure when fleeing the Otherworld. After many adventures and gains in the Otherworld, he fell unexpectedly, and his left-behind treasure remains unclaimed. Assist Wan Mingchuan in inheriting the Otherworld’s gift for rich, special rewards]
[Quest 1: Escort Wan Mingchuan to Celestial Sword Sect to participate in Secret Realm trials, help him successfully break through to the Enlightenment Realm, completed. Reward: Skill Proficiency Points +2 (can be directly applied to mastered skills) issued]
[Quest 2: Use a top-quality Memory Stone to fully replicate the system-archived Otherworld map. Reward: 1 small package of self-chosen materials]
Jiang Yuan didn’t pay attention when the system prompt appeared.
He had just discovered something particularly magical and interesting—when a disciple successfully advanced a realm, there seemed to be slight changes in the entire dantian, followed by mist gathering into water droplets, showering a gentle rain on the seedling.
The young Fire Spirit Root sprout swayed slightly, its color becoming more vibrant, and its leaves seemed to have grown just a bit.
"So it’s really like farming!" Jiang Yuanjian, seeing this scene, was more convinced of the idea that the dantian was like a field. How effectively this could be implemented depended on the system’s capabilities.
Bai Yunqi elegantly flew to Wan Mingchuan’s side, assessed his aura after advancing to the Enlightenment Realm, and nodded with satisfaction, saying: "Not bad, you should use every thunderbolt in Thunder Tribulation to its fullest potential.
Though it’s called a tribulation, it’s really a rare test and opportunity for self-training. The Heavenly Dao Laws assisting with cultivation is a rare chance, and you should seize it every time to lay the best foundation!"
"Hehe, thanks for the guidance, Big Brother Long!" Wan Mingchuan, having his worries dispelled, already had a preliminary plan and now, with an open heart, enjoyed the joy of advancing realms, grinning broadly.
Jiang Yuan looked at the Storage Bag and found nothing interesting, then noticed the Spirit Testing Disc from the untainted Green-eyed Fox Race was not particularly useful to him, thinking perhaps the disciple could use it, so he handed it over, "Here, a small gadget to detect spiritual power fluctuations as a gift for your realm advancement."
Indeed, following a generous master always meant getting lots in return.
He didn’t refuse, graciously thanked and took it, seriously learning how to use it.
Wan Mingchuan had already decided that once his master agreed, he would leave the small courtyard to venture into the Otherworld for growth. With this item on hand, he could enhance his safety.
At the thought of leaving, he missed the warm, beautiful small courtyard very much, wishing to return quickly and stay a bit longer before departure was necessary.
Bai Yunqi and others also hoped to return to the Spiritual Energy-rich courtyard for rest; the newly-acquired Ice-winged Eagle, Wanli, looked on enviously, eager to see the courtyard the king always mentioned with glowing eyes.
With a yearning to return home, Jiang Yuan’s group declined Fang Shouye’s invitation to a celebration feast. He left Ouyang Qing with a few bottles of Elixir, advising that they could use the Communication Stone anytime for any issues, then used a Teleportation Scroll to return home with everyone!
"Hey? Venerable Family, was your return the other day specifically to prepare a surprise for us?" Hu Zhile immediately noticed all the buildings in the courtyard had transformed remarkably.
The originally dense spiritual energy now surrounded the elegantly carved and ornamented buildings, and indeed, at a glance, it had the imposing aura typical of a major sect.
All buildings had been upgraded to Level Six!
Thinking back to that crazy construction spree, Jiang Yuan now felt extremely fortunate. If not for the act of goodwill that earned a "Good Deed a Day" reward, could he have upgraded all buildings, including the workbench, storage bag, and World Tree, so quickly? Impossible!
Thus, unconventional paths often led to abundant wealth.
"How is it, isn’t our place getting more and more beautiful?" He glanced at the balance of over nine million Spirit Stones, thinking he’d earn another profit by fetching Miss Hu Jiu in the evening and simply spent three million Spirit Stones to buy the starlight mushroom scene—joy shared is more joyous!
Wanli stretched his neck, swallowing his saliva, feeling that his eyes were not enough to take it all in.
Is this the "small courtyard" where Mr. Jiang lives?
Back then, he thought he was living comfortably on Lushan and wondered why sir only wanted wild fruits instead of Spirit Stones, finding it a bit odd. Now he realized they weren’t interested in petty matters!
Beautiful! Truly beautiful!
Unfortunately lacking culture, Wanli, aside from looking around with envy, joy, and curiosity, couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.
Wuwuwu, the King is just too good to me!
Living such a happy life, he still remembers me all the time, even going so far as to ask seniors for advice, only then getting the qualification to step into the courtyard.
Mr. Jiang is even more generous. He has such a beautiful courtyard full of spiritual energy but isn’t stingy at all. Not only does he take in the King, but he also graciously accepts me, who hasn’t even reached Foundation Establishment yet. Finally, my hardships have ended, and I’m living a good life!
[Do you want to spend three million Spirit Stones to purchase the scenery—Starry Sky Mushroom?]
Jiang Yuan listened to the sounds of amazement and felt immensely pleased, immediately choosing yes. He then selected an empty space in the corner of the Furong Spirit Pool on the courtyard map and clicked to construct a new scenery.
"Bang!"
With a light sound, the entire selected spot for constructing the Starry Sky Mushroom was suddenly shrouded in white mist, and the sounds of hammering and chiseling could be heard continuously from within, drawing everyone’s attention.
"See that? That’s the most mysterious construction technique of the Mister!" Yun Mo nudged Wanli with his wing, lowering his voice and saying, "All the buildings in the courtyard were personally crafted by the Mister!"
This left Wanli so shocked he couldn’t close his eagle mouth. The other members of the courtyard seemed used to it, quietly betting on what Jiang Yuan was building as they surrounded the white mist.
After about a minute and a half, the white mist gradually cleared, revealing an extremely luxurious mushroom house.
Still retaining a strong magnificent game style, it was unimaginably beautiful.
On the giant deep-blue-purple mushroom cap, stars shone. A cluster of mushrooms of different sizes were intertwined, about ten meters high, with a second layer featuring a mushroom cap terrace. Through the frosted crystal doors and windows, one could only see a warm glow within, but the specifics remained unknown.
"Wow!"
Exclamations were heard, and Bai Yunqi saw thick spiritual energy rising from the top of the mushroom house and merging into the courtyard, making the spiritual energy even richer like smoke and mist swirling around, confirming his previous guess—In such a short time, even a Heavenly Level Construction Technique couldn’t have created such an exquisite, luxurious structure that could release spiritual energy, so there was only one answer, this building was actually moved here by the Venerable Family from somewhere else!
So, the courtyard was gradually expanding, the buildings were becoming more exquisite, and occasionally even a legendary extravagant building only seen in the Celestial Realm was moved here. Was the Venerable Family relocating?
Or personally creating a courtyard, moving all the buildings previously collected, now gradually being unsealed as the Realm recovers? At this building speed, won’t the courtyard eventually become a world of its own?
After all, although currently located at Shuiyun Lake, not a bit of spiritual energy is leaking out, clearly it’s been isolated to some degree from the Human World!
"Mingchuan, by order, this building should be yours, are you sure you want to give it to Qingniao?" Jiang Yuan worried his apprentice hadn’t seen the Starry Sky Mushroom and was easily giving it away, fearing he might regret it when he saw the equivalent of a private villa-like structure, specifically asking: "If you like it, I can go explain to Qingniao, this Starry Sky Mushroom is given to you to live in."
"The spiritual energy is shared across the courtyard, living anywhere is the same." Wan Mingchuan smiled and waved it off: "Master Aunt has been hoping for a new place for a long time, she will definitely love this mushroom house."
Since his apprentice said so, Jiang Yuan nodded and shouted towards the tree house, "Qingniao, do you want the Starry Sky Mushroom?"
What mushroom?
Qingniao was seriously cultivating at that moment, sensing the presence of her brother and others returning but didn’t exit cultivation, thinking it wasn’t urgent since they would dine together anyway.
But what was her brother saying about a mushroom, and suddenly feeling the spiritual energy around more intense, she quickly stood up, exited her cultivation state, opened the tree house window and looked out, her eyes brightened instantly!
"Brother! My wonderful brother!" She immediately saw the elegant yet playful mushroom house surrounded by little white snakes and others, realizing it was the place her dear brother promised for her!
Spiritual energy like a thin veil encircled the mysterious and luxurious mushroom house, her bright eyes glued to it, barefoot on the ground, she jumped excitedly, "Brother brother brother brother, you are the best brother in the world! I love you to death!"
Taking three steps at a time, Qingniao leapt down from the Cloud Ladder, rushing straight in front of the mushroom house, "Is this for me? Really? Wuwuwu...having such a great brother is indeed too happy!"
The affection level soared with her cheering, Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, saw her small body with massive Spirit Roots and his eyes widened—truly worthy of a reincarnated master, those Spirit Roots are remarkably beautiful.
Unlike any other cultivator’s Spirit Roots he had seen, Qingniao, who practiced Ice Element Techniques, had a complex ice blue rune emitting a faint cold aura at her Dantian, incomprehensible but seemingly highly sophisticated.
In the center of the rune was nestled a "tree!"
That’s right; while others had young sprouts for Spirit Roots, the difference being in size and vitality, Qingniao’s Spirit Root was a massive ice sculpture-like tree!
Very beautifully translucent, but currently the whole tree was in a frozen state, only a small branch bore a few icy leaves, surrounded by a pale blue mist appearing vibrant, clearly indicating that after reincarnation she hasn’t yet advanced to a certain Realm, with her Spirit Root still in a "hibernation" state.
"Master, I want to discuss something with you." Wan Mingchuan observed that Long Ge and the others followed Master Aunt enthusiastically to visit the mushroom house, seizing the opportunity to be alone with his master, he took out a rusty giant sword from his Storage Bag, helplessly saying: "Following the clues provided by Grandpa, only painstakingly I found the relic Divine Artifact Celestial Flying Sword in the Mirror Mountain Secret Realm back then. Unfortunately, it seems completely ruined..."
