Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 482: Reunion with Miss Chan Yu

Chuci nodded earnestly with a serious expression, "It’s definitely your doing! How many years has that bar street been involved in shady dealings? For so long, nothing’s happened. You were performing there for just a few days and then they all got busted. This can’t be just a coincidence!"

After a pause, he curiously asked, "Brother, you can divine the future and predict even Cheng Hao’s family’s gas leak. Haven’t you ever cast a hexagram for yourself?

Could it be that... the legendary special fate, where perhaps your fate is too significant for ordinary people to suppress?

Think about it, as soon as you form an employnt relationship, it essentially becos them directing you to work for them to earn money. This is a superior-subordinate relationship.

Your fate is too large, and they lack the virtue and blessings to suppress it, thus they’re not qualified to be your boss, and ended up in bad luck!"

Jiang Yuan was amused but thought about it and felt there was a bit of truth to it.

He considered that next ti if he were to go to Wilderness World, he could have the Cloud Concealnt Sect, which is best at peering into destiny, cast a hexagram for him. Perhaps they might really be able to see sothing.

After all, the system had already calculated his achievents and exchanged them for points, which shows that it truly was "acting on behalf of the heavens." If his fate was indeed special, he should think carefully about how to utilize it in the future.

In the upcoming period, to let his online popularity wane, Jiang Yuan simply bought a villa in a city with a spring-like climate and arranged for his parents to go there for a vacation;

while he stayed at ho every day making incense, accumulating enough to hand over several months’ worth of sales to Yang Hongye to handle selling, invoicing, collecting paynts, and other related matters. Then, adjusting the room temperature to the most comfortable state, he lay on the bed and entered Wilderness World with a thought.

"I should first do Elder Long’s side quest. By concocting a Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill, I can obtain a blueprint fragnt for armor, enhancing my strength!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the listed tasks and decided to find Miss Chan Yu.

[Side Quest: Antidote]

[Elder Long Zhou Jian is afflicted with a strange poison and urgently needs an antidote. Please assist him successfully detoxify to receive a generous special reward]

[Task 3: Collect thirteen varieties of potent toxins, concoct a Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill, and deliver it to Elder Long Zhou Jian. Reward: Armor (Upper Garnt) Blueprint Fragnt 1]

In any case, refining a furnace of Elixirs in the Alchemy Room yields 99 pieces. It only takes one piece to complete the task and get the reward. The remaining antitoxic elixirs can either be sold or kept for future use.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yuan turned and headed to the Ancient Teleportation Array.

[Please select an array to activate]

The Mist Barrier Swamp where Miss Chan Yu resides is located at the bottom gray inactive location, indicating the need to spend a lot of construction materials to repair the opposite teleportation array.

"Luckily, the needed materials aren’t much. Once built, it can be used continuously. Otherwise, it’s more economical to use a teleportation scroll instead." He clicked to spend thirty thousand Spirit Stones and so construction materials to activate the Mist Barrier Swamp.

[Mist Barrier Swamp Activated]

The gray button instantly beca a colorful picture option. The dark gray forests entwined with white mist looked mysteriously atmospheric.

Clicking teleport, a glow flashed in front of his eyes, and in the next second, Jiang Yuan appeared in a foggy swamp land, standing on a simple teleportation array that only he could see.

The sky was overcast, clouds blocked the moonlight, and the oddly shaped trees had unnad fireflies emitting faint lights. Distant wailing bird calls completed the ambiance.

[Chan Yu’s Seal: A guiding mark to prevent getting lost in the Mist Barrier Swamp]

A faint seal suddenly lit up on his hand, emitting a pale blue ray of light pointing to the depths of the woods.

From a distance, the swamp’s scenery looked great. Large swathes of green reeds fluttered with fireflies; surfaces of varying sizes reflected the fireflies and tree shadows, giving an oil painting-like richness of color.

But Jiang Yuan dared not step in casually. The system imdiately popped up a warning—the swamp’s waters interspersed with land contained countless deep pits and muddy grounds that could devour a person or animal silently.

Even if blessed by a rmaid’s Kiss, allowing for free movent in the sea, he didn’t find it sufficient for the sticky quagmires.

For safety’s sake, he blew a paper crane to ride on, following the guiding light, departing from the simple teleportation array towards the dark, damp, and colossal swampy forest.

"No way, no way, I don’t agree!"

"We don’t agree either! What kind of logic is that? The swamp isn’t your place!"

...

Following the guiding light for a while, he saw a mini island ahead. A colossal ancient tree sprawled horizontally near the water’s edge, with lush foliage forming a natural "arch bridge".

A group of demon cultivators sat circling on the tree bridge. Jiang Yuan glanced around and noticed the lowest were at the Foundation Establishnt Realm, the highest rely the Fifth Layer of the Wisdom Realm. Most were bird or fish demon cultivators, totaling around thirty, arguing over sothing.

"Shh! What is that?!" Sensing an unfamiliar presence approaching, the crane-headed elder, the one with the highest cultivation, gestured for silence with wariness on his face as he looked at Jiang Yuan, standing tall and thin, and said aloud, "Who goes there in the swamp?"

The system didn’t warn of a threat from them, so Jiang Yuan answered truthfully, "I go by the surna Jiang, here seeking Miss Chan Yu."

"Chan Yu? Who’s that?"

"Shh! The granddaughter of the Old Venom! The most venomous woman in the entire swamp!"

"Oh my, he’s here to find her... One wonders if he’s been duped, or colluding with the Little Venom."

"We better not provoke him, let him leave at once! Lest that Little Venom be stirred up, we’re in for a world of trouble..."

...

A group of demon cultivators, evident in their animal traits, whispered amongst themselves. The crane-headed elder warily eyed him and gestured to the rear, "Chan Yu lives in the deepest parts of the swamp; we dare not venture recklessly, you... be careful."

"Why? Is it very poisonous there?" Since entering the swamp, Jiang Yuan occasionally got one or two points of poison resistance experience, much less compared to instances like Mist Barrier Ridge or Spiders Valley.

"I’m warning you about the Little Venom!" The fat-headed fish demon shook its head dramatically, "She’s the granddaughter of the Old Venom! If the swamp gets thick with toxic gas, they are largely to bla, be careful you don’t get poisoned and rot into swamp muck!"

Jiang Yuan: ???

Old Venom? Little Venom?

No wonder Miss Chan Yu said she had no friends and kept emphasizing she wouldn’t simply poison others, hinting there’s a story behind it?

"Thanks for the warning, fellow cultivators, goodbye." He cupped his hands in thanks, then continued forward riding the paper crane.

The bunch of little demons clustered together muttering incredulously about soone visiting the Little Venom, their previous argunt forgotten.

With the guiding seal in hand, it didn’t take long for Jiang Yuan to reach the depths where Miss Chan Yu resided in the swamp. Chan Yu greeted him with a delighted yet stamring, "Jiang, Jiang Yuan... you really ca to find ? Quickly, quickly... please co in, oh no no no, it’s better... to stay out here..."

Both exhilarated and flustered, she was torn between inviting him in and fearing her untidy abode might frighten off her only friend, fumbling in confusion.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan casually recounted the simple facts of encountering a group of little demons in dispute, easing her nervousness.

"Them, huh..." The rotund Miss Chan Yu blushed and smiled, "Probably just too idle... They said, said the na of the swamp was unpleasant... said it clashed with many places’ nas, wanting to... discuss a nicer na..."

She paused, puzzled, "But... the swamp is naturally disorienting, filled with toxic gas everywhere, increasingly perilous the deeper you go... I think Mist Barrier Swamp fits perfectly...

Oh, Jiang Yuan, you’ve co all this way, is there anything you need my help with?"
