Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

"No matter how many times I see it, the construction techniques of the Venerable Family are truly awe-inspiring!" Hu Zhile sincerely praised as he looked at the brand-new houses that appeared after the gray mist dissipated.

The other members of the small courtyard nodded in agreement and then dispersed to cultivate as usual.

Only the newly joined Bluebird looked shocked at the houses with flying eaves and painted carvings, then at the calm and collected Jiang Yuan, her petal-like pink little mouth slightly open, unable to speak for quite a while.

Indeed, having been isolated for so long, have cultivators these days reached such terrifying levels?

Although her memory was very fuzzy, Bluebird was very sure that in the cultivation realm during her peak, the construction techniques were definitely not like this!

"Let's go, take a look at the new house." Jiang Yuan greeted: "According to first come, first served, Mingchuan can choose any room in the new bedroom first, then Bluebird can pick a room for herself to stay."

Wan Mingchuan was solely focused on quickly cultivating to advance his realm so he could soon impart the Heavenly Level cultivation techniques to everyone, so he had no particular requirements for the living environment. Hadn't he survived living in a thatched cottage with his grandfather for so many years where it leaked in winter and rain seeped in summer?

The house given by his master was getting more spacious and luxurious; as a disciple, he had to live up to this trust, so he hopped into the house, glanced around, and decided: "I'll still stay in my original room, you can pick and choose from the remaining rooms."

Bluebird was dumbfounded the moment she pushed open the door.

It was just a dwelling house, but they actually used the power of space in its construction!

Although it looked beautiful and exquisite from the outside, it was just a slightly taller small house with nothing magical about it.

However, upon entering, she realized that the size of the interior space was severely inconsistent with the outside; the first sight was a spacious and bright living room, beyond that was a dining room and kitchen; the main bedroom on the first floor chosen by Wan Mingchuan came with its own bathroom facilities;

Going up the stairs to the second floor was a spacious tea room, and two bedrooms, one of which even included a study. Currently, it was not furnished, but it still left Bluebird full of admiration.

Being able to cultivate the construction technique to such an extent, her brother was indeed not an ordinary person!

She then thought of that ancient teleportation array; could it have been repaired and then utilized by her brother, who was adept at construction techniques?

"Now that there are no outsiders, you can tell me the truth." Jiang Yuan hesitated a bit but chose not to use bloodline suppression, instead formally inquiring: "What cultivation technique do you practice? What kind of combat style are you skilled in? Answer truthfully, so I can find the most suitable place for your cultivation and help you advance your realm quickly."

Apart from being reborn in secret, Bluebird had nothing else to hide. Especially after forming a sibling bond, her strength could benefit him more, so naturally, there was no need to lie. She replied truthfully: "I possess a trace of Ice Phoenix bloodline; the Ice Phoenix is a descendant of the Phoenix. Being named Bluebird actually refers to the blue bird, practicing Ice Element techniques.

Once I condense the Golden Core, I can use ice and snow control skills to exorcise and suppress demons. Although currently at the Enlightenment Realm, the power is weak, I can also use the Cold Flame to purify filth."

As she spoke, she extended her plump little hand, her fingertips flickering with a blue flame like ice, yet emitting a scorching leap of fire, showcasing her power to him, "After forming a bond, Brother can use my power at any time. If encountering poisonous miasma that cannot be cleansed of evil filth, although it may not purify much, at least the Cold Flame can ensure protection from the poison miasma."

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, "You're not afraid of poison miasma intrusion?"

"Of course, I'm not afraid! On the contrary, I want to consolidate my cultivation in battle and need to find areas overrun with evil filth to fight and purify until exhaustion, and then absorb enough spiritual energy to solidify my realm!"

"That's great!" He was just worrying about being stuck on two side quests with no progress: one was finding the Earth Seal in the second area of the Misty Ridge instance, and the second was the inheritance of the Spiders Valley.

Both places were filled with poisonous gas, and without help, he really couldn't handle everything alone.

Adding a sister who's immune to poison was simply like having a divinely chosen worker!

"But there's a prerequisite." Bluebird, seeing his eyes glowing with excitement, hurriedly explained, "I currently lack strength, and the spiritual energy stored in my body is not abundant. However, areas contaminated by evil typically lack spiritual energy to absorb, so..."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's not a problem. Come with me, and you'll see."

Eagerly, he led the little one into the new instance, where Bluebird, upon taking a glance, saw endless poisonous miasma. Not a single plant or tree survived; even the land was utterly polluted. Fortunately, the few polluted, mutated demon beasts occasionally seen were not strong.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, her voice trembling as she asked, "Brother, what is this place? How did it become so polluted? The air has no spiritual energy at all, I..."

Casually handing her a handful of Spirit Stones, Jiang Yuan asked: "If I give you lots of Spirit Stones, can you cut down the polluted trees here, mow down the weeds, and dig out the stones, purifying as much as possible?

When your spiritual power runs out, just absorb the Spirit Stones and meditate. If you encounter a monster you can't handle, call me to deal with it. Will this be beneficial for your cultivation and advancement?"

"Yes! Very beneficial!" Bluebird looked at the shiny Spirit Stones, immensely joyful: "As long as I have a constant supply of Spirit Stones for spiritual power, I can fight evil tirelessly! This place is practically tailored for me... oh no, I am currently at the Enlightenment Realm, and if faced with fierce demon beasts, I'll still rely on Brother."

"No problem; with the sealing rune, I can come anytime!"

"Brother, you're so nice! I knew you were the greatest person in the world the moment I saw you! Thank you, Brother!"

Bluebird thought that her flattery had pleased Brother, causing him to pull out Spirit Stones with a flourish and even give her a storage bag to request more Spirit Stones whenever she ran out.

Feeling elated, looking at the custom-built upgrade sanctuary, Bluebird felt she could advance to the Fusion Realm in less than half a month!

[Bluebird Favor +100]

[Bluebird Favor +100]

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan felt extremely satisfied too!

Indeed, without leading a team, one could only work to death. The small courtyard doesn't support idle hands; right after getting a sister, she could be dispatched to work, and conveniently, speed up the advancement process, so he could complete side quests sooner.

Simply a win-win great advantage!

Handing over the ax, shovel, mining pickaxe, and sickle to her, Jiang Yuan flashed out of the new instance, carrying Luminous Stones to the old dragon's cave to give gifts to the elf You Meng and interact favorably while mining.

Consecutively leveling up the poultry house, livestock pen, alchemy room, mill, and house to Level Four, he nearly exhausted the inventory of basic materials he had accumulated recently.

"The Melting Workshop also needs an upgrade; so many ores need quick conversion into basic materials..." Jiang Yuan pondered as he teleported to the World Tree, routinely offering a piece of Luminous Stone.

The elf You Meng happily danced in circles as the favor finally reached four hearts.

"Great to see you," she began like a proper NPC, sighed, and said, "But I have to trouble you again. Those pesky Netherworld bees have returned. I really can't handle them. Please don't find it troublesome; could you help chase them away? Otherwise, the nascent World Tree will be destroyed by them horribly!"

Bee venom?!

Jiang Yuan instantly perked up; after defeating this wave of Netherworld bees, he could visit the old dragon with plenty of bee venom and antitoxic pills, and then, wouldn't Little White's coveted "Devouring Technique" heart method be within reach?
