Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 483: Rely on the mountain, eat from the mountain; re

"I’ve co to the Mist Barrier Swamp to find you for two reasons."

Jiang Yuan thought the swamp’s na was sowhat similar to the Mist Ridge dungeon, and its internal environnt indeed had so similarities. He contemplated renaming it to sothing more pleasant once the dungeon was cleared and restored to its original state.

After all, the dungeon beca shrouded in gloomy Poisonous Miasma only after it was contaminated, but the purified area was beautiful and vibrant, making the na "Mist Ridge" quite unsuitable.

He took out a Communication Stone he specially purchased from the Treasure Pavilion at Wo Hu Temple Market and handed it over, "You live in such a remote place without any friends to talk to, so I got you a Communication Stone. We’ve added each other as friends, so we can stay in touch at any ti."

Chan Yu’s eyes, usually unfocused and struggling to see, suddenly widened!

A Communication Stone?!

Back when she saw other cultivators using Communication Stones to connect at Jiang Yuan’s courtyard, she was extrely envious but too poor to afford one.

She’s been tirelessly working to earn money after returning ho, hoping to save enough to buy a Communication Stone to connect with Jiang Yuan and the friendly cultivators in his courtyard...

She was so busy day and night, and hadn’t earned much yet; unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan visited her and gifted her a Communication Stone!

Chan Yu was both excited and happy, her mind froze in place and she was montarily immobilized.

"Chan Yu?" Jiang Yuan held the Communication Stone, watching her eyes widen with joy before she suddenly seed frozen in place, feeling a bit stunned.

What’s going on?

Turned to stone?

"Ah! I’m so sorry..." After a full three minutes, Chan Yu ca back to her senses, face flushed and stamring, "I-I was just... Sorry! I never- had anyone treat so well... I-I thought I was dreaming... Is this real? You...you’re not afraid of the poisonous gas and traveled all this way to find ?"

Jiang Yuan felt a sudden pang of sadness hearing this; such a nice girl, how did she live like this?

"You’re not dreaming, I’ve really co to ask for your help." He added, "If we find suitable resources here in the swamp, I might often need to trouble you in the future."

Chan Yu eagerly grasped his hand, "I can help? That’s great! Wh-what resources are you looking for?"

After explaining his intentions, she shook with excitent and spoke more fluently, "I can’t boast about anything else, but finding toxins in the swamp is too suitable! There are all sorts of toxic creatures in the Swamp Secret Realm, plenty of whatever you need!"

Jiang Yuan corrected, "It’s toxins, not creatures. I need different toxins for refining the elixir, but many toxins extracted from various poisonous materials are the sa, so it might be a bit tricky."

"No trouble at all!" Chan Yu no longer felt timid, gesturing with a welcoming gesture as she opened the door to her abode, "I-my body is toxic, although like other cultivators I need Spiritual Energy for cultivation, bu-but I naturally have the ability to attack with toxins. So... my familial cultivation technique allows to absorb a large amount of toxins and accumulate them in my body, releasing them when needed.

I didn’t dare to invite you inside earlier...because I was, I was refining toxins..."

She was nearly moved to tears; having a friend treat her so well that words couldn’t express her gratitude, and she happened to be able to extract the toxins he needed! Could there be anything happier?

Where Chan Yu lived was built on a beach, surrounded by swamp waters, with roughly thirty square ters of land paved cleanly and attractively with pebbles.

A bent tree and a small house decorated with pebbles stood out amid the gloomy surroundings, like a legendary forest cabin.

Upon entering, he was enveloped in the warm glow of candlelight in the room.

Clean and tidy, with various often-used tools laid out clearly, and the walls adorned with bundles of fresh and dried flowers.

"Please co in. My ho is a bit... cluttered; don’t mind it," Chan Yu opened a door leading underground, revealing a spiraling wooden staircase bathed in orange candlelight and faint mist.

Following the staircase down, the first underground layer had been dug and transford into a living room, kitchen, and bedroom; the second underground layer consisted of a guest room, study, and her toxin refining "workshop."

Vividly colored, grim-looking venomous snakes hung upside down, with slightly clouded translucent liquid dripping into small bowls; oversized scorpions, spiders, and even nacingly dangerous-looking poisonous toads were all pinned to walls or hung on racks for toxin extraction.

In Jiang Yuan’s eyes, these toxic liquids were identified by the system as raw materials pending extraction for various toxins.

"I-my cultivation combat technique includes two thods to enhance my toxin power..." Chan Yu eagerly showed off her showcase cabinet, "One is directly absorbing and refining poisonous miasma, which is simple but slow;

Another is sowhat... refining various toxic liquids and absorbing them. Although this thod is fast and powerful... it will cause misunderstandings among others... They all fear ..."

The scene certainly had an eerie feeling, but it was undeniably practical!

As she opened her showcase cabinet, Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up—snake venom, frog poison, arrowwood poison... Several toxins that could be used to refine the Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill were present; the only downside was that they weren’t potent enough and needed thirty to forty portions of each for elixir refinent.

Through deeper inquiry, he learned that he had rely traversed the swamp’s periphery, not even reaching Chan Yu’s place, which was relatively closer to the swamp’s depths. Further in lay a Secret Realm with denser poisonous miasma and a plethora of toxic creatures residing and breeding within.

Due to geographical factors, demon cultivators residing in the swamp devised various thods to resist the miasma.

They relied on the swamp’s unique environnt to protect themselves from external demon cultivators’ harassnt, and occasionally ventured into the Secret Realm to gather highly toxic materials for trading and sale, living a comparatively safe and comfortable life.

However, due to the lack of a developed trading market and the niche demand for toxic materials, swamp demon cultivators could only maintain their daily lives.

Wanting a more prosperous life ant, like Chan Yu, accumulating large quantities of refined toxins and traveling thousands of miles to markets to sell them for Spirit Stones.

"It’s said that living near mountains we rely on mountains, living near water we rely on water; since you guard the swamp Secret Realm, you could completely sell the refined toxins to !" Jiang Yuan pondered, developing this new map into a toxic raw material supply zone for convenient future elixir refining!

Embarrassed, she replied, "Actually I... I can’t refine that much. Though raw materials are not hard to find, the processing is more ti-consuming..."

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken her so long to accumulate enough Spirit Stones to purchase a Magical Treasure.

Now, having bought the Magical Treasure and wearing it indeed conceals the miasma, but the swamp’s demon cultivators still avoided her, secretly calling her a "little poison beast."

Having toxins isn’t my fault! I’ve never hard anyone!

"I see. Then let’s check the accounts to see if using Spirit Stones might attract other demon cultivators to join the toxin production chain." Jiang Yuan proposed, "An individual’s energy is always limited. As a buyer providing Spirit Stones, with profit incentives, they might even change their perception of you."
