Chapter 461: Chapter 461
"Hey? Something’s not right!" Jiang Yuan didn’t even bother to check the freshly built Juice Workshop, he glanced again at the new task and rewards.
Since there are three special material packs to choose from, why not swap them first to build the Tea Workshop? Getting the reward and then upgrading the Alchemy Room would push the main quest faster!
"Right, consuming items for the main quest and then upgrading the Alchemy Room is more cost-effective!" He went over it again and found no flaw in the logic.
If the materials were used to upgrade the Alchemy Room, who knows how long it would take for the Tea Workshop to be built.
The tea trees planted in the Level Three farmland are ready for harvest. Constructing the Tea Workshop to process the Spirit Tea means endless refills for the Gilded White Jade Tea Pot!
[Main Quest: Build Level Six Homeland. Reward: One Courtyard Communicator]
[Task 3: Tea Workshop Construction Completed. Reward: Building Upgrade Card +1 has been issued]
[Task 4: Complete at least thirty public service orders (0/30). Reward: Life Origin +50]
[Life Origin: The foundation of all life’s vitality and spirituality. Each 100 points can offset one fatal injury; or after physical death, consume 100 points to reconsolidate the body and be reborn]
[Current Life Origin balance: 50 points; after reaching 200+, it can be shared or gifted to other cultivators]
The last time I extracted 50 points of Life Origin in Spiders Valley, completing main task 4 is all that’s needed to reach 100, enabling a rebirth in both the real world and the Wilderness World.
"Great! The critical part is this thing can be gifted, which is very convenient." Jiang Yuan immediately thought of his contracted pet, Xiao Bai, upon seeing "gift".
No matter how high his favorability and loyalty are, he is ultimately just an avatar. No matter how much his cultivation improves, it still depends on the original body’s mood. What if the original body feels displeased by the idea of being a contracted pet?
Would he snap his fingers and take back the proud yet loyal Xiao Bai avatar?
This is my first contracted pet, with the highest tacit understanding and the closest relationship, how can I tolerate him possibly being wiped out by the original body?
Therefore, complete the main quest quickly to get 100 points of Life Origin, allowing me to "resurrect" at any time;
Once Miss Xiao Ba successfully completes the "Spiders Valley Inheritance" side quest, getting another 100 points, it’ll meet the basic requirements, then any additional Life Origin can be gifted.
He thought it necessary to make Xiao Bai act first. Not saying he could replace the original, but at least he would have a fallback plan to avoid being wiped out easily.
If future cultivation realms can allow a cooperative relationship with the original, that would be ideal. If not, the Life Origin would at least ensure that Xiao Bai won’t disappear instantly.
But currently, there are no public service orders, so he can only wait patiently.
[Use the Upgrade Card to upgrade the Level Four Alchemy Room to Level Five?]
Of course, choose yes!
A cloud of grey mist enveloped the Alchemy Room, and once the progress bar ran its course, the sound subsided, revealing the brand new Level Five Alchemy Room!
Using the Longevity Pill formula, Jiang Yuan eagerly opened the crafting interface. A batch of pills consisted of 99 pieces and required 10 Century Fruits along with other common Spirit Medicines, effectively amplifying the Century Fruit’s lifespan effect by seven to eight times.
Queuing up to make a batch of Longevity Pills, he finally had time to inspect the other two new structures.
The newly built Tea Workshop is basic, and amidst the overall picturesque courtyard, its crude appearance stands out. Better quickly upgrade its level to avoid it hindering main quest progress due to its building level mismatch.
Pushing the door open, the unified system style unfolded before his eyes.
On the far right was a simple cauldron, probably intended for tea roasting. On the left, a row of four small tray platforms where freshly harvested tea leaves could be placed for processing.
The Level Three farmland grew a Longjing Tea Tree, a Biluochun Tea Tree, and three Spirit Tea Trees from the Seed Gift Package, all ready for harvest.
The former are tea tree varieties found in reality, but due to being planted in a slightly advanced farmland, although not matching the unique Spirit Tea from the Cultivation Realm, they are imbued with a trace of Spiritual Energy, making them drinkable and enjoyable by ordinary people.
That trace of Spiritual Energy gently enters the body, leaving with the breath due to the inability to absorb and refine it, while also carrying away residual toxins, dampness, etc.
In other words, prolonged consumption by ordinary people can eliminate hidden diseases and promote longevity.
The latter are Spirit Teas intended for cultivators, requiring the Tea Workshop to be upgraded to Level Three for processing.
"Looks like I’ll need to wait a bit longer to refill, as the materials required for the upgrade are substantial." Jiang Yuan placed the fresh tea leaves on the platform, and the Tea Workshop began its operational "swish-swish" mechanical sounds, processing Longjing and Biluochun tea.
As long as there’s enough raw material, these workshops should never idle. They need to constantly accumulate resources to prevent any blind spots when needed.
Leaving the Tea Workshop, he turned around and entered the newly built Juice Workshop.
Still in a simplistic style, but the primary Juice Workshop can produce quite a variety.
Including, but not limited to, cherry juice, watermelon juice, etc., and can also press oil from crops like peanuts and corn. The waste residue produced serves as a new variety of fermented fertilizer, which can be synthesized into more advanced fertilizers in the Bait Workshop, upgrading the Level Three farmland to Level Four.
In went the peanuts to produce peanut oil, as Jiang Yuan left the Juice Workshop with a serious look, deep in thought while observing the busy courtyards.
While the Alchemy Room is crucial as an economic base, its role in the small courtyard’s farming enterprise isn’t as prominent.
Spirit Stones are not omnipotent, as livestock, poultry, and fish need feed produced in the Bait Workshop. The role of Spirit Stones is at most to accelerate processes but not to directly purchase system-approved effective feed.
With the various fertilizers needed for field upgrades, it consumes both time and is required in large quantities...
"Yes, I should replicate a Bait Workshop at the Netherworld Second Home!" He had a realization after an overview.
One designated for producing animal feed, fishing bait, and other minor products;
Another specialized for producing fertilizers required for upgrading farmland to various levels. With these specialized areas, Level Three farmland can be expanded quickly to a sufficient range, and a small patch of Level Four farmland can be prepared in the process!
Pulling out a not-yet-warmed up Building Duplication Card from the Storage Bag, Jiang Yuan clicked to use it, replicated the Level Four Bait Workshop, and directly transferred it to the small courtyard on Lotus Peak in the Netherworld, clicking paste next to the warehouse.
[Building Duplication Successful]
A burst of digital fireworks swept across his vision, and a Bait Workshop, entirely fitting the Netherworld style, stood grimly next to the warehouse, smoothly blending into the setting.
After setting up the raw materials and getting it into operation, another batch of ghost cultivator-specific elixirs was obtained, as Jiang Yuan looked towards the dark northern mountains, seeing no shadows and unaware of what Tang Qin was up to recently.
In the current hanging side quests, the poison for refining elixirs for the old dragon hasn’t been fully collected. If the Mountain Shadow City underground Black Market auction that Tang Qin mentioned last time remains inactive, it might be necessary to consult Miss Chan Yu for ways to gather enough varieties for alchemy.
Since it’s a trip, it can’t be in vain. First, use the array from Treasure Pavilion to overlay the entire Lotus Peak area for safety, Jiang Yuan took another turn in the mountains.
Old Master Wan’s cultivation and mining went smoothly, everything progressing in an orderly fashion.
Taking a paper crane, Jiang Yuan blew on it, and rode it to the neighbor’s house, wanting to confirm the news about the Black Market auction. Newest update provided by novelꜰire.net
