Chapter 411: Xie Chenyuan did a great job!
"My mentor specifically instructed: The Cloud Concealment Sect waist token gifted by Senior Lin doesn't need to be returned. Jiang Dao You can keep it for convenience when passing by Cloud Concealment Sect in the future to rest." Cang Rui looked at him with a gentle and somewhat respectful smile, "Later, my mentor will write a letter to Senior Lin explaining the reason.
It's just before dawn and Wilderness Ascension is imminent. If Jiang Dao You doesn't mind, you could stay for a few days at Cloud Concealment Sect. Although our sect is not large, it boasts scenic beauty and exquisite craftsmanship. Staying to enjoy the scenery is also great."
Jiang Yuan had a fruitful map exploration tonight and has a pile of farming tasks to do during the day, where would he find time to idle here? After exchanging pleasantries, he put away the Bronze Compass and thanked again.
"There's also one matter, earlier I had the pleasure of meeting your sect disciple Xie Chenyuan at Wo Hu Mountain, and toured Carefree City with him. I saw the place was indeed nice so I bought a courtyard. Brother Xie lent me your sect waist token to handle the document route permit, so I claimed to be your sect's Outer Sect Disciple at that time. Now I'm coming clean and hope the Sect Leader won't mind."
Cang Rui's eyes immediately brightened upon hearing this. Xie Chenyuan did well!
Turns out he already befriended disciples from Cloud Concealment Sect earlier, this is good! Surely Chenyuan saw the unique Life Chart of the other party and had the intention to make friends, that's why he lent the waist token for convenience.
"After all, as fellow cultivators of the same race, we should naturally help each other when traveling. It's common for Loose Cultivators facing crisis to claim to be disciples of the ten major sects, Jiang Dao You needn't worry." He took out a sect waist token from the Storage Bag and handed it over, "The token given by Senior Lin is merely a 'key' to enter and exit the Sect Protection Array.
Jiang Dao You can carry this sect Honored Guest Elder waist token, and if you encounter trouble in the Wilderness, it might come in handy."
What the heck? Is the affinity buff from the title usable to this extent?!
"How, how do I deserve this?" Jiang Yuan was bewildered, he ran maps all night and his hands are weighed down with gifts; upon arriving at Cloud Concealment Sect, they directly gave him the Honored Guest Elder waist token.
Though introduced by Senior Lin and with an affinity buff, the ancient ten major sects are really quite hospitable and welcoming.
Or is it in the Wilderness World where Demon Cultivators are rampant, the identity buff effects of being a Human Race cultivator are even better?
"The Human Race cultivators active in this world are dwindling, Jiang Dao You is well-liked by sect elders, it's just a waist token, don't be so courteous."
Cang Rui wished to deepen the bond yet worried that going beyond proper limits might affect the other's cultivation without karma involvement, so he merely hinted and gifted the Honored Guest Elder waist token, "Moreover, this waist token has another benefit—it allows you to use the sect's Teleportation Array anytime to travel to any Teleportation Array in the Wilderness World, making trips easier and reaching the sect anytime convenient."
Can I really use the Teleportation Array?
If you put it that way, I'll gladly accept then!
Jiang Yuan took the waist token and thanked several times, then followed Cang Rui out of the sect's ancient and simple gate, turned right and, sure enough, there was a beautiful Teleportation Array tucked away beneath the bamboo.
"Disciples of Cloud Concealment Sect excel in leveraging time and locational advantages, although their overall combat strength doesn't match the cultivators of other sects. For the safety of our disciples, we specifically built this extensive Teleportation Array to ensure that sect disciples can seek help within the sect whenever walking outside."
Cang Rui introduced proudly. Other sects cultivate Death Warriors to fend off Demon Cultivators, Evil Cultivators; whereas Cloud Concealment Sect disciples are more flexible and diverse, instantly arriving at the battlefield via Teleportation Array, taking advantage and escaping after fighting—it's quite common.
The safety of sect Teleportation Array is overseen personally by Cang Rui himself, naturally he was confident.
[Detected a addable coordinate Teleportation Array, would you like to bookmark for quick access?]
The system, as always, was reliable. Jiang Yuan eagerly chose to annotate and bookmarked the coordinate as: Cloud Concealment Sect.
After saying goodbye, he stepped onto the Teleportation Array and clicked "Return Home", spending fifty Spirit Stones to arrive home.
"What a busy but bountiful night!" He was in high spirits and humming a tune, he first took out the Flowing Cloud Cherry and placed it on the living room table and looked at it, Spiritual Energy like white mist slowly flowed, the fragrance was elegant and truly pleasing and very practical.
"It's best to match it with... what's that stool called?" For the first time being so elaborate and elegant, Jiang Yuan, growing up without any experience in decorating independently, was clueless about interior layout so he had to rummage through the unlocked blueprints on the workbench after completing tasks.
Have to say, the system's coverage is broad, spanning large items like wardrobes, hundred-step beds, to small items like stools and decor pieces, the types of daily furniture needed are all included in the Intermediate blueprints unlocked by completing main quests.
Currently seeing the greyed-out area belongs to Advanced blueprints part, furniture types don't change much, but the finished products appear more exquisite and classy.
"Plum Blossom Stool, this is really nice!" Jiang Yuan took a moment in the category, picked a uniquely designed plum blossom-shaped stool, it consumed merely ten pieces of redwood and three pieces of slime, quite a deal!
Click to craft, ten seconds on the progress bar and a neat redwood Plum Blossom Stool appeared in the Storage Bag.
Taking it out and placing it in front of the lattice window, and then putting the Flowing Cloud Cherry on top.
Previously, Jiang Yuan was not fond of redwood furniture, always felt it too rigid and old-fashioned; but now he doesn't know whether because soaked in the ancient atmosphere of Wilderness World for too long he's used to it or the system's products are made more meticulously than those in the modern world, coupled with picturesque bonsai, even the Plum Blossom Stool felt quite appealing.
"Looks like I have to find some time to properly decorate the house, a good environment makes for a comfortable living." He looked around liking what he saw, he took out his Heavenly Silk Robe from the Storage Bag and changed into it, significantly increasing his personal attributes data.
Even though designed as cultivator's casual wear, the higher level the garment is the better the material is, regardless of size, it automatically fits once worn and has self-cleaning function, exceedingly convenient for someone like Jiang Yuan who has to tend to fields daily.
He walked to the dressing mirror to look at himself, the Heavenly Silk Robe's style was simple and elegant, the fabric was extraordinary on first glance even emitting a faint soft glow, felt like having a natural filter, making his already fair and refined face seem more gentle, with a touch of 'gentle like jade' quality.
Then he took out the gilded white jade tea set, placing it on the table, Spirit Tea water poured out slowly, suffusing the air with Spirit Tea's unique fragrance.
The room carried the scent of flowers and tea; outside, after Wilderness Ascension, the birds lightly sang and the Spirit Pool's water gently gurgled. Lifting the teacup for a sip was truly enjoyable!
"Living this little life is quite nice." After drinking tea replenishing both health and mana bars, Jiang Yuan clicked the Bronze Compass to bind it as a common tool, then stored other gifts not needed for the moment in the Storage Box, facing the morning sunlight, he embarked on a day of farming.
Ordinary crop fields at the left side of riverbank all had Automatic Harvesters installed, greatly reducing harvest time, his task was to carry a watering can and pass through the farmland to water first, then replant the produce that automatically disappeared after harvesting;
The large Level Two farmland at the right side of the riverbank was slightly more cumbersome, first watering then harvesting one by one, and finally replanting.
Feedstuff in the poultry and livestock pens were all sufficiently replenished, harvest meat, eggs, and milk; feed the fish in Fish Ponds, harvest fermented fertilizer, then take it to the workshop to synthesize more advanced fertilizer, preparing to upgrade part of the Level Two farmland to Level Three, ready to plant Nine Nether Peach Trees and Spirit Tea Trees.
All other tasks completed, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Yuan entered the greenhouse harvested the Blue Star Flowers planted yesterday, then sowed other cross-season crops, he was enthusiastic riding a paper crane carrying the Blue Star Flowers to the Old Dragon Cave to boost goodwill with the little Elves!
