Chapter 504: Chapter 504
Jiang Yuan's current fixed assets include: Hu Jiu's business in exchanging Immortal Jade at Wo Hu Temple Market; a share of Zhao Wuji's business at the Elegant Bamboo Pavilion, bringing in nearly ten million Spirit Stones every month, which is quite easy.
In addition, the devoted Demon Cultivator believer Du Yiyun occasionally offers tributes; Hu Zhile and his team go to Carefree City every night to slay Demon Beasts and harvest Demon Cores, meat, and so on. Money flows into and out of the account without shortage.
Both the Fifth Grade Antitoxic Elixir and the Longevity Pill are rare good items. Jiang Yuan thinks that even if sold, they'd only add some numbers to the account, so it's more worthwhile to use them himself.
Here comes a Longevity Pill being given away, not to mention others, even the old dog's favorability "swish" jumped up, heading straight to eight hearts!
"Just advanced in realm and increased lifespan, and my brother gifted a Longevity Pill, happiness knows no bounds!" The slightly grown Green Bird still had a childlike voice and tossed the Longevity Pill into her mouth, like eating a crunchy candy.
Feeling the abundant life force quickly flowing through her body, she said proudly, "Brother, I won't let you down. Didn't we say earlier we needed to find a treasure to free your Puppet Beauty from the Immortal Jade restraint?
Just had a breakthrough in realm, a flash of inspiration came, recalling many memory fragments, let me sort them out after I eat and drink to my fill, I'll definitely resolve her urgent issue!"
Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile, quickly heading to the kitchen to enhance his cooking skill.
Bai Yunqi admired the Longevity Pill for a moment, tossed it into his mouth, and enjoyed the pleasant sensation of increased lifespan with his eyes slightly closed.
He was filled with joy and anticipation for the upcoming session at Xiang Mountain, and felt gratified for the significant progress and realm advancement achieved in recent cultivation. Fınd the newest release on novel·fire.net
But soon, his smile faded away.
The quicker the realm is recovered, the stronger the avatar becomes.
Once it becomes powerful enough, it can serve as a resource eligible for assimilation by the main body, ultimately making "Xiaobai" disappear completely, leaving only the main body, the giant white snake, to enjoy all the hard-earned gains.
Bai Yunqi felt very conflicted inside. Previously, he knew he was an avatar and had no estrangement with the main body.
However, ever since meeting the Venerable Family and getting to know so many friends while living in the small courtyard, seeing the small thatched cottage turn into a beautiful house, a small farm turning into a small estate, with the Venerable Family daily offering incense, preparing incense burner, the Furong Spirit Pool for him...
The time spent was not long, but he realized he seemed to develop feelings that an avatar shouldn't possess—being a unique self, entirely different from the main body!
This consciousness came about unexpectedly. Before meeting the Venerable Family, he always believed he was the main body, the main body was him, combined as one and divided as two with no difference.
However, the thoughts have changed now. He doesn't want to hand over everything he worked hard for to the main body.
Nor does he wish that one day the "Xiaobai," whom the Venerable Family raised with painstaking care, would just disappear without a trace.
The avatar cannot influence the thoughts of the main body. By then, all the Venerable Family's efforts would be in vain, and even... the main body might act on learning from his memories of the treasures the Venerable Family holds.
With that thought, Bai Yunqi felt very heavy-hearted.
Fortunately, the realm is still not high enough for now, and the main body doesn't care about this bit of energy. He still has time to find ways to resolve the conflict between the avatar and the main body.
[Cooking skill leveled up to 7, Life +100; food Spiritual Energy Value increased by 15%]
After preparing a hearty breakfast, Jiang Yuan finally waited for the last bit of progress in his cooking skill to finish leveling up.
With that, it's only the fishing and collection skills that are slightly lacking, he should find time to improve them, to avoid being caught off-guard with tasks requiring basic skill card levels.
After a feast, he used top-grade incense to build a pair of giant incense hills for his two contract beasts each.
Bai Yunqi revealed his true form, greedily inhaling the faint smoke;
Hu Zhile was relatively more graceful, as the furry white fox squatted in front of the incense hill, enjoying the pleasure brought by the Power of Incense with his eyes slightly closed.
"Woof woof! How come they eat so well?" Come across this, Ling Di, as an Ancestor Level Demon Beast, naturally knew the benefits of the Power of Incense.
This was not the first time the owner offered incense to them, yet even knowing its upper-grade quality, there was a feeling it wasn't forming a trend.
Who would have thought the owner would be this generous, if had I known earlier, I'd have aspired to be a Family Immortal too, instead of a mere pet!
Woof, I've lost out big time!
"Use your mind and think about what you can do to earn some benefits!" Ling Di was anxiously pacing, clearly being the highest cultivation in the small yard currently seemed the least useful.
As the saying goes, deeds before rewards, one has to do something tangible before asking from the owner.
What am I really good at?
Little dog raised its head, looked at the sky, brows furrowed in worry.
Jiang Yuan had no time to mind it's worries. After building the incense hills, he hurried to the farmlands to harvest, sow seeds, water the fields, as the end of the month approached, and the appointment with Seventh Sister in the Wilderness was near, he needed to gather as many Spirit Fruits as possible.
Also needed to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, and even the fish in the fish pond were clamoring for food.
Of course, these couldn't be left for others to do, after all, animal feeding related to animal husbandry skills, and all of them needed to be advanced equally to avoid falling behind.
After Bai Yunqi gave everyone lectures on cultivation techniques, they dispersed for their own cultivation.
As soon as Hu Jiu entered Third Sister's grotto, she handed the Longevity Pill over, "Third Sister, this is for you to eat!"
However, the other almost simultaneously made the same gesture, the sisters looked at the untouched elixir in each other's hands and couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Zhile scolded playfully, "Silly girl, you've been lazy and unwilling to cultivate properly, and it took so many years just for Foundation Establishment. Even though our species has a lifespan advantage over ordinary Demon Cultivators, you can't waste it away .
Foundation Establishment adds less than a hundred years to lifespan, with your current cultivation speed, who knows when you could advance again. Instead, swallow these two pills to extend your lifespan by twenty years."
"Oh no, Third Sister~" The little fox filled her whine skills, hugged her arm shaking it, "I really don't like cultivation, I've already talked to Pavilion Master Cang at the market, asking her to keep an eye out for the Charm Technique cultivation method. Currently, my cultivation is indeed lacking, but once I cultivate the Charm Technique and get to...
She blushed, speaking in whispers, "manage to fly together with Young Master, with his strength... even the slightest bit of Absorbing Yang to Supplement Yin will rocket my realm upward, won't it?
Therefore, it's more worthwhile for you to consume these two pills, extending your lifespan by twenty years, with your hard work, you'll definitely go further on the path of cultivation!"
"How do you know you're suitable for cultivating Charm Technique?" Hu Zhile deftly took the elixir from her hand while speaking, seized her little sister's furry fox ears with a swift grab, and directly forced the two Longevity Pills into her mouth.
Newly at Foundation Establishment without any strong techniques cultivated, the little fox was nowhere her match?
Before she could react, the two Longevity Pills were down, instantly filling her body with a burgeoning life force, giving her a clear sense of her increased lifespan.
"Ooh ooh..." She covered her pinched sore ears, mouth pouting, tears as big as beans rolling down, "Do you think I'm daydreaming, that I could never get Young Master's body?"
"Yes, never mind whether you're suited for Charm Technique cultivation or not. Even if suited, even if practiced to the level of bewitching countless men with just a gesture, it may not sway the Venerable Family's Daoxin!"
