Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Unlocking the Landscape—Furong Spirit Pool!

"Then I’ll leave it here. Be careful not to get too close; the poisonous fluorite will emit toxic mist." Chan Yu carefully placed two black stones on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yuan effortlessly stored them in his storage bag.

"Ah, this..." Chan Yu was immediately stunned, her big round eyes blinking in confusion. How did he put them away? How could he retrieve items from a distance so skillfully?

She rubbed her hands, her face slightly flushed, and quietly asked, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

Jiang Yuan handed over two Spirit Core Pills directly, "Thank you. Bringing back these two poisonous stones has already helped me a lot. Consider this a token of appreciation."

"No! No, no, no! I—I was rescued by you and ate the food you made, it was merely a small effort... I can’t accept... Besides, we are friends..."

"Exactly, because we’re good friends who have fought side by side, I can’t just use your labor for free; I must give you a small token of gratitude. It’s just two ordinary elixirs, please accept them." Jiang Yuan insisted and pressed them into her hand, indeed receiving a wave of goodwill in return.

Heh, now that our relationship is solid, I can ask the cute and gentle girl for help when I need materials related to poison!

Bai Yunqi was eyeing the newly built wooden house with a sullen face, his vertical pupils narrowed slightly as he glanced at the cherry tree where he lived, not feeling very pleased.

Even though the Venerable Family doesn’t have a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land or Spirit Pool Jade Liquid, since they possess the construction technique, they should at least build a pavilion for a distinguished Family Immortal to live in!

The disciple is a direct relative, getting a new house built first with a dedicated bedroom, while somehow I, the Family Immortal, am not a direct relative?

His haughty nature prevented Bai Yunqi from arguing with the Venerable Family, but the more he looked, the angrier he got, which extended to a disdain for the ditch-like river and the poor cherry trees.

While he was fuming, Jiang Yuan, who hadn’t noticed his contractual pet’s tantrum at all, took out "Vast Mountains and Rivers" from his storage bag and handed it over, "Little White, would you like to take a look?"

"No!" Bai Yunqi tilted his head and turned away without even a glance, thinking what is there to see? Is there anything worth looking at? I don’t even have a place to live, can’t you see that?

Jiang Yuan sensed from the tone that his contractual pet seemed a bit unhappy, but why? Nobody had offended him, so what was he mad about?

So, he approached again and nudged the book against Bai Yunqi’s face, "If you don’t want to look, I’ll give it to Mingchuan first."

A strange aura hit him head-on, causing Bai Yunqi’s vertical pupils to suddenly contract—an advanced Earth cultivation technique!

Despite being an earth technique, he couldn’t mistake that aura!

"I want to see it! Thank you, Venerable Family!" His anger instantly extinguished, he grabbed it and eagerly flipped through two pages, his heart filled only with gratitude and excitement.

This was an entire advanced Earth cultivation technique, complete from start to finish! In legend, it’s only slightly weaker than a Heavenly-level cultivation technique! In the past, he regarded a partial Heavenly-level technique as a treasure, so this complete work was much superior! Of course, thanks to the Venerable Family, he also had the chance to delve into the complete version of the Devouring Technique. Just the thought of it made the ditch-like river and cherry trees seem wonderful in an instant.

Residence is trivial; what’s more important than cultivation!

Jiang Yuan didn’t grasp the complexity of the arrogant snake’s inner thoughts, noticing the growing goodwill reminders, he advised, "Once you’ve learned it sufficiently, remember to give Mingchuan some pointers."

"No problem, you can count on me, Venerable Family!" Bai Yunqi hugged the book and couldn’t wait to scurry up the cherry tree;

Everyone else went on cultivating as usual, even Miss Chan Yu was squatting in a corner by the bridge quietly consuming a Spirit Core Pill and cultivating.

Jiang Yuan wandered over to upgrade the Alchemy Room, then dragged in the required materials.

The progress bar slowly advanced, and invisible hands performed simple renovations on the humble small house, eventually revealing a much more exquisite Alchemy Room.

[Main Quest: Build a Level 4 Home. Reward: Great Wilderness Heart Method]

[Reward for Task 1 has been issued]

[Task 2: Build a Textile Workshop. Reward: Artifact Refining Material Package +1]

[Scenic View Zone in store is unlocked]

The main quest finally progressed successfully. After reviewing the materials needed to build the Textile Workshop, Jiang Yuan opened the store and clicked on the Scenic View Zone.

"Furong Spirit Pool, priced at thirty thousand Spirit Stones..." With just a glance, he was completely captivated—the scenic views on sale were simply too beautiful!

Definitely following the style of a farming game, aesthetically pleasing and precious ornaments with particularly attractive bonuses.

For example, this spirit pool resembling a hibiscus; just from the thumbnail, its appearance was stunning, perfectly embodying the charm of a Chinese garden. The pool was shrouded in light clouds and mist, hiding clusters of lotus blossoms; placing one in the courtyard would provide a pleasant view every day.

More importantly, the detailed introduction said: The spirit pool contains spiritual energy that can increase the spiritual energy content within the entire small courtyard by 10%; meditating and cultivating could absorb more spiritual energy, and even plants and animals living in a spiritual energy-rich environment would see a 5% increase in yield.

Thirty thousand Spirit Stones were acceptable to Jiang Yuan at present, but the only issue was that the Furong Spirit Pool took up a considerable amount of space. To buy and place the pool would require sacrificing a portion of the farmland.

"Buy it! It’s just a piece of farmland, no problem!" Jiang Yuan decided after two seconds of hesitation.

Crops could be expedited if urgently needed, and purchasing a spirit pool for the courtyard wouldn’t only be pleasing to the eye but could also provide a better cultivation environment for everyone, plus its size allowed Bai Yunqi to move into it.

In that case, Yun Mo could temporarily take over the cherry tree to sleep beneath it.

When they unlock more scenery options for his abode, they can purchase them again!

So without further ado, Jiang Yuan took out a shovel and enthusiastically dug up the farmland in the courtyard, restoring it to its original state.

Then he clicked to purchase the scenery and dragged it to place near the southeast corner of the courtyard.

"Bang!"

With a light sound, the selected spot for constructing the Furong Spirit Pool was enveloped in white fog; only the sound of hammers and chisels could be heard continuously from within, everyone turned their heads in surprise, even Miss Chan Yu peeked stealthily.

Only Bai Yunqi, focused on his new technique, paid no attention to what happened outside.

About three minutes later, the white mist gradually cleared.

"Wow! Master, what is this?" Wan Mingchuan suddenly smelled a faint sweet scent, and simultaneously sensed something was different from before; not having achieved Foundation Establishment yet, he was slowest to react to spiritual energy changes;

Hu Zhile’s eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the lotus pond emitting spiritual energy, utterly shocked—was this the legendary Spirit Gathering Array that could gather all spiritual energy?

No, she quickly dismissed this idea; there was no aura of array operation.

The spiritual energy was emanating from the water in the pool, the faint white mist was the spiritual energy released from it! Immersing in the pool wasn’t possible, but just cultivating next to it would allow for the absorption of pure spiritual energy!

Hu Zhile didn’t even know how to describe the joy and envy she felt; usually, cultivation involved drawing upon thin spiritual energy from the air, hence elixirs were important because they could rapidly provide a large amount of pure spiritual power.

But the spirit pool constructed by the master, it could supply spiritual energy directly!

If she could cultivate here every day... she couldn’t imagine how happy and blissful she would be!

"Little White? Little White!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the Furong Spirit Pool, stunningly beautiful even when scaled up, and felt that the thirty thousand Spirit Stones were well spent. He called out, "I’ve got you a new place to live, come and see how this Furong Spirit Pool is?"
