What kind of trump card? What kind of merit? You Lai only felt the world spinning around him, and he was utterly confused—what kind of strange place is this? How could Qi Baijun be here? And who was that guy who just now knew the Soul-devouring Demon Skill too?
"Oh, what a rare guest!" Qi Baijun heard a thud, turned his head and discovered everything was in order!
From the Sect Leader to the Protector, and even the Black Riders and disciples, at the Leisure Sect atop the Wilderness, everyone was present and accounted for!
Elder Scholar stroked his beard as he approached, curiously asking, "Is this the Fourth Guardian who fled? I remember Commander Qi mentioned that his family is very wealthy, owning two Spirit Stone Mines."
"That’s right, the Mi Family also controls trade with the Otherworld and their family foundation is quite profound." Qi Baijun nodded and laughed, "I assume Mr. Jiang would be interested in cultivation resources. Scholar, the time has come for us to make great achievements!"
Except for You Lai, everyone else was quite happy.
Similarly, Jiang Yuan was also very happy.
Because, at the same moment You Lai turned into something strange, the exchange rate finally settled.
Making the Leisure Sect go bankrupt is indeed a great achievement, the system generously changed the previous exchange rate from 1:200 directly to 1:1000!
From now on, every day spent in the Wilderness World can earn a thousand life points just by lying around, and becoming a super blood bull is just a matter of time.
After his excitement, he was also somewhat anticipatory, wondering how the system would conclude the exchange rates once he bankrupts the hidden and dirty Demon Realm Alliance.
Hu Zhile was responsible for organizing the welcome banquet, when the sky started to sprinkle snowflakes.
As they reached Old Dog’s Menghua Treasure Ship, at the Nth time of brilliant lights and cheerful guests’ clinking glasses, large snowflakes were whirling down, and in no time, the entire courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The snow reflected the warm candlelight, slightly easing the ambience of the night.
"A good snow brings prosperity; given this winter’s snowfall, next year will surely yield a bountiful harvest!" Leng Yutang, now concerned for the people of East Lake Port, focused his cultivation on forging Magical Artifacts that mortals could use.
Coincidentally, he found his own path.
Recalling last winter’s big snow, he couldn’t even dare to admire it openly due to the "cold poison," unable to approach any place with lower temperatures.
In less than a year, not only was he cured and no longer afraid of the cold, but the entire Sand Hill City, including all Angry Fire Bears, no longer feared the invasion of so-called cold poison. From bottom to top, inside and out, the Furious Fire Bear Race underwent an earth-shattering change!
Leng Yutang considered himself not a natural genius, but just capable of doing some limited things for Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang, cherished by East Lake Port’s people, was supported and revered by them, so Leng Yutang did his best to forge various Magical Artifacts for the locals to improve their living conditions.
Embracing the great way, Leng Yutang’s cultivation became increasingly adept, whether in Realm or Artifact Refining thought and technique, subtly beginning to match and even surpass Fu Qingzhou.
Fu Qingzhou never imagined that after merely attending an Artifact Refiner gathering at Yingtian Star, the individual who had previously chased him around for guidance, Leng Yutang, gradually displayed a style unique to his path in refining, causing mixed feelings of joy for the latter while becoming slightly anxious for himself.
He decided that after the reception for the return of senior brothers finished today, he would go into seclusion!
He won’t leave until he fully comprehends the Immortal Ship blueprint given by his master!
Jiang Yuan hadn’t anticipated the surge of the catfish effect in the small courtyard. Who among those capable of cultivation does not possess some pride? Witnessing fellow associates rapidly advancing, from Yun Mo to Qing Niao, each one gritting their teeth striving to reach greater heights.
Even Miss Hu Jiu felt the competition; from the moment she first laid eyes on Young Lord, it’s been less than a year, and the number of exquisite beauties around him keeps increasing, each one seemingly more powerful than the last.
Fearing her beloved would be stolen away, she didn’t slack off in cultivation even during宴席 [banquets], causing Jiang Yuan’s interface to constantly flash with willpower increases...
Making him both amused and helpless, he thought, Miss Hu Jiu indeed enjoys cultivating the Charm Technique, never willing to miss a moment even while eating. Surely, the world’s truths are universal, finding something you love and fitting to your abilities can certainly lead to success!
Midway through the宴席 [banquet], this winter’s largest snow continued to fall steadily.
But outside, sudden rolling thunder was heard!
Simultaneously, an unfamiliar yet powerful force appeared out of nowhere!
"Who’s undergoing Tribulation Crossing?!" Old Dog was the quickest to react and stood up, but wait, everyone from Cloud Concealment Sect was present at the宴席 [banquet], who is outside?
"Could it be Senior Yan Xuan is about to achieve Immortal Ascension?"
"No, no, the aura of this Thunder Tribulation is far inferior to that of the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
"I personally checked the list, arranged seating, apart from Senior Yan Xuan, there’s no other person in the small courtyard..."
...
The宴席 [banquet] on Menghua Treasure Ship was interrupted by the unexpected Thunder Tribulation, and everyone harboring curiosity or intentions of observation stepped out of their rooms onto the deck to take a look.
Dark clouds rolling, lightning intertwining, paired with the swirling large snowflakes, the entire small yard suddenly took on a layer of magical atmosphere.
Jiang Yuan was puzzled for a moment before swiftly reacting—it was Miss Little Eight coming out of seclusion!
From the forgotten Spiders Valley, he found the Five Elements Suppressing Object, triggering a side quest requiring any Spider Race descendant to refine it and receive their ancestral legacy.
He reckoned calmly seizing the opportunity, directly giving the Five Elements Suppressing Object from Spiders Valley to Miss Hu Jiu’s adopted White Feather Spider Miss Little Eight when she opened the Cloth Shop. Then, he secured a blooming Carefree Lotus for her to enter seclusion with.
