Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 491: Revisiting Cloud City

Why does it feel a bit like the universe and black holes?

Of course, Jiang Yuan never paid much attention to the scientific research results released about black holes, so he naturally didn’t know.

Undeterred, he asked, "Well... have you heard of the Bluetian Domain?"

Lingdi looked baffled and shook his head;

Bluebird also furrowed its brows, asking in a childlike voice, "Never heard of it, what kind of place is that?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, how should I know? The side quest asked to find the ruins of the Bluetian Domain, but I have no idea what’s there, whether it’s dangerous, or if monsters need to be fought.

But you get 50 points of Life Origin just for starting, and given the system’s equal exchange quirks, the quest definitely won’t be that easy. After all, it’s about helping a dog at the peak of the Mahayana Realm evolve into a Divine Beast species, so it shouldn’t be easy.

[Dusk Has Fallen Over the Wilderness]

At exactly six in the evening, the rolling sea of clouds gently descended, rging in an incomprehensible manner with the lower human world.

The protective light shield around the small courtyard emitted a faint glow. Standing at the edge, one could see the vast grasslands outside and occasionally passing massive clouds.

"Sir, I’m back!" Yun Shu had been waiting at the city gate early on, rushing towards the small courtyard as soon as the wilderness descended.

Just as everyone else hadn’t set off to Carefree City yet, Wan Mingchuan eagerly approached and asked, "Sister Yun, you’ve been in Cloud City for so long without returning ho, was the acquisition of dicinal materials smooth?"

Yun Shu replied with a proud smile, "Since it’s a new shop, it wasn’t very smooth at the beginning, so I just never ca back.

The business environnt in Cloud City is excellent, but because of that, many Demon Cultivators with high-end good dicinal materials have fixed cooperative shops.

Moreover, since we’re purchasing materials according to the Pill Formula, with no reputation, we could only attract so retail sellers."

She smiled, holding out a Storage Bag with both hands, "Sir, take a look at the dicinal materials I acquired, and also the talismans I drew in my spare ti!"

After Jiang Yuan finished refining the Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill needed for the side quest, he was worrying about lacking ingredients.

The Alchemy Room didn’t have enough materials, so it was idling. What a waste of ti! But now that she’s back tonight, it’s really like delivering charcoal in snowy weather.

"Yun Shu, well done!" He lavished praise without hesitation, especially since this puppet beauty always worried about being useless and destroyed, so whenever possible, Jiang Yuan would praise her well to give her peace of mind.

From the Storage Bag, he took out a thick stack of basic talismans, which Hu Jiu could sell at the Cyan Fish Mountain Market shop;

Then there were various dicinal materials sorted by pile, filling up the table, and for a mont, the aroma of Spirit dicine was overwhelming.

"Here’s the list and account book for acquiring the dicinal materials, Sir, please have a look." Receiving the praise, Yun Shu felt sweet inside.

Seizing the opportunity to turn the apothecary into an irreplaceable industry, she wouldn’t need to worry about becoming dispensable, even with more mbers joining the small courtyard in the future, she wouldn’t be replaced!

Thinking of this, she asked softly, "There’s another matter I’d like to discuss with you. I’d like to continue studying more advanced Talisman Dao, as basic talismans can’t really be called talismans; the difference between them is too great."

"Sure! It’s great that you’re willing to learn!" Jiang Yuan was delighted that such a progressive puppet ca to him, and he took fifty pieces of Immortal Jade and hundred thousand Spirit Stones from the account to give to her, "Take these for now, but make sure you add so Immortal Jade for yourself.

As for Talisman Dao... I happen to need to go to the Market first to see if the Treasure Pavilion has any cultivation techniques suitable for your learning; you can keep an eye out too, if there are any Demon Cultivators skilled in Talisman Dao in Cloud City, it’s only a matter of spending so Spirit Stones to seek advice, you don’t need to save on these funds."

The master is so kind!

Her heart surged with feelings, and her favorability level rose a bit. Yun Shu quickly replied, "I indeed t a Talisman Master in Cloud City willing to teach the craft, but his fees are a bit high... and I’m not sure about his background. Could you take so ti to check him out for ?"

She thought that while managing the acquisition shop and not delaying drawing talismans to sell for money, even if the Talisman Master’s fees were high, as long as the master confird his skills were real and worth learning, she could always use energy-saving mode to save on Immortal Jade.

Once she learns advanced talismans or even real talisman drawing, and then sells more Spirit Stones, she can make up this part of the difference.

Having already planned to take a look at how her opened shop was doing, Jiang Yuan asked Yun Shu to wait at ho.

First, start refining three furnaces of Fifth Grade Spirit Core Pill by adding the dicinal materials to the Alchemy Room — the small courtyard mbers all needed a large supplent of Spiritual Energy pills, so it was better to prepare more just in case.

He then took the basic talismans to the Cloth Shop at the Cyan Fish Mountain Market to have the shop assistant sell them; he also sent Hu Jiu to the Wo Hu Temple Market, requesting Pavilion Master Cang to keep an eye out for Talisman Dao cultivation techniques.

After making the rounds, Jiang Yuan took Lingdi and Yun Shu to Cloud City together.

"Wooof! This city is extraordinary!" Being a Demon Beast at the peak of Mahayana, Lingdi easily disguised itself as a normal little dog and followed along.

As soon as it stepped through the city gate, its ears perked up, and it used Secret Communication to say to Jiang Yuan, "The entire city is an array! And there’s more beneath the city, but... the situation with the array hub of this city seems not so good."

Jiang Yuan hadn’t learned the Secret Communication skill yet, looking at the little excited dog with surprise and curiosity, thinking, as expected of a big shot, did it discover so many secrets just entering the city?

"Woof woof! Anyway, it’s none of our business, sniff sniff! What a strong scent of dicinal Incense, it’s making hungry!" Lingdi misunderstood his look, thinking its master already knew but didn’t want to get involved in the consequences, so its expression seed to be asking why it was so nosy at its age, thus it flapped its ears to change the subject.

Jiang Yuan casually took a Grade Three Spirit Core Pill from the Storage Bag and handed it over.

"Woof! Elixir! Fragrant elixir!" Without any care for its image, Lingdi jumped up, rolled up the elixir with its tongue, swallowed it into its stomach, and felt the gentle Spiritual Power spreading throughout its body, making it hum comfortably, "Tasty! So tasty!"

He smiled lightly, "Later, I’ll refine a furnace of Fifth Grade Spirit Core Pills and give you a few to enjoy like sugar beans."

Lingdi’s dog eyes widened instantly, with Fifth Grade Elixirs as candy, what a fantastic life this must be!

"Sir, here is the shop I rented; what do you think?" Yun Shu opened the shop door to let them in for a tour.

The shop wasn’t large but was clean and pretty, with a small room in the back. Since Yun Shu only needed to rest in a dormant state and didn’t need a bed or such, there was just a table and a bookshelf, with her talisman drawing tools displayed on it.

"That Talisman Master lives just on the next street. His talisman paper, ink, and brush all require the aid of Spirit dicine Juice, hence his residence in Cloud City.

Not many visit him daily, and now should be a good ti for us to go!" Yun Shu was very hopeful yet a bit nervous, considering this concerned whether she could further her research in the path of talisman drawing, she was a bit worried that the master might find the Talisman Master’s fees too expensive.

A person, a dog, and a puppet headed straight for the target’s residence, and as soon as they entered the yard, they heard a series of crashing noises from the house, followed by a pile of gift boxes being thrown out, and then a lavishly dressed young man being forcibly ejected.

"Get lost! Take these filthy things and get out! I, Qian, would starve before selling talisman paper to a heartless rchant like you!"

After angrily shouting out, the slightly worn wooden door slamd shut.

The young man’s face turned red with evident embarrassnt and anger, as he picked up the gift box from the ground and was about to retort, he turned to see soone coming in, turning even redder and sneered, "If you’re sick, go get treated! You’re not even a famous Talisman Master, where do you get so many people fawning over you, making you feel so superior!"

Jiang Yuan: ???

Although he hadn’t seen the person yet, he sensed this one had quite a temper...
