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

Jiang Yuan pondered the description of the blue bird, isn't it just the charger for the intelligent robot?

Add a part that can be charged, and when it runs out of spiritual power, it can recharge and absorb, no longer relying on others to regularly supply immortal jade, making the puppet wooden doll more human-like!

"Mmm, you can cut in line," Wan Mingchuan nodded, "As long as Shigu is happy, I don't mind."

Having endured hardship since childhood, even living in a thatched cottage with the master made him feel most at peace and happy.

Not to mention now living in a big beautiful house and eating all kinds of delicacies — days like these were once unimaginable immortal days; what else could he demand about living quarters?

Anyway, the spiritual energy is the same everywhere, isn't cultivation the same, just let the little girl have what she likes.

Besides, the master is very powerful, yet has never prepared a room for himself; it shows that living anywhere isn't important, what's important is mindset and cultivation!

"I just need a place to paint talismans." Yun Shu yearned for the treasure described by the blue bird, but deep down a voice warned her — "Don't show it"!

Because obtaining a treasure that doesn't require scheduled placement of immortal jade by the master means being able to break free from the master's control at any time.

The survival instinct deep down tells her that the master will only like obedient and controlled puppets; even without any betrayal thoughts, she mustn't show a longing for freedom, or there will be a risk of being destroyed!

Anywhere, anytime, she must be a useful puppet to live long.

Yun Shu doesn't know where these thoughts stem from, but she knows it's for her own good and must be remembered and followed, otherwise being destroyed would mean eternal doom!

"In that case, next time there's a good place to live, I'll let you have it first." Jiang Yuan also doesn't care, as long as missions are performed step-by-step, life will definitely improve, and the scenery will naturally get more beautiful, so everyone will have their share by then.

Now, he's more concerned with Yun Shu's "charger"; if they can actually make one, it would save so much money, and he wouldn't need to always worry about her "battery level".

As a modern person, Jiang Yuan has a bit of fear of insufficient battery, due to the bad battery of those cheap phones he used before, which would shut down anytime once the battery fell below 50%.

Resulting in him being afraid, once binding with the puppet, that if he didn't replenish the immortal jade on time, she might collapse and others could pick her up.

"Sis, honestly tell brother, does such a treasure really exist?"

"I swear there absolutely is!" Blue Bird patted his chest loudly, "Moreover, I think I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember now. Good brother, give me some time to think it over!"

He's never been stingy about sharing, especially since the other party's effort to advance their realm can help him complete side missions sooner; a little motivation occasionally certainly works better.

"Then work on your cultivation diligently; if you can truly help Yun Shu find a way to break free from the shackles of immortal jade, brother will reward you greatly!"

There are other benefits to reap here?!

The Blue Bird was shocked and immediately felt full of zest, wishing to set off right away and continue striving in the Misty Ridge, and early recovery of some memory to lend a hand, a triple win!

Yun Shu was also shocked but dared not let any emotion show.

She was confused about the true intentions of her master, but with the conversation reaching here, it seems she also needs to make a statement.

"If I can truly obtain such a precious treasure, I won't need to consume your valuable immortal jade, allowing me not to rest and to do more things for you, becoming more useful!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

She remains very afraid of being destroyed.

Thinking this way, she's quite pitiful as a puppet. Clearly not a human but unable to grasp freedom, not only needing to look at her master's mood in actions but also having the human-like fear of death, living such a tiring life day by day.

"Actually, there's no need to worry." He thought and comforted, "Though you are a puppet body, we have been getting along very well during this period.

You're part of the small courtyard and have no bad intentions, how could I bear to destroy you for no reason?

So, don't always consider usefulness. As destined to come together, everyone heads towards the same goal, making an effort to build our little courtyard better and ensuring our life is safer, more comfortable, that's enough."

Yun Shu was flattered and hurriedly nodded, "I remember, master."

During their chat, Hu Zhile finally finished exploring Linglong Cave in detail, feeling incredibly excited about not knowing what to say.

Even the most eloquent language seemed weak at this moment, unable to fully express her joy.

She didn't even know for the umpteenth time she rejoiced over her wise decision back then, at last snatching the heaven-sent wealth into her hands!

"I won't say empty words, Zhile feels fortunate in meeting the Venerable Family and will follow in life and death on future cultivation paths under dispatch!" Hu Zhile was moved to tears.

That is a cave specifically built for herself!

Take ten thousand steps back, even regardless of value, purely for the Venerable Family's consideration, it's worth going through any hardship for him!

Moreover, it's a cave that provides abundant spiritual energy continuously, much larger than the Furong Spirit Pool, and more secluded than the Tree House!

She feels living here, she'd truly laugh aloud in her dreams.

Thinking about this, Hu Zhile also fretted for the little sister; such an excellent and generous Venerable Family, how was she favored?

If the Venerable Family wished for a dual cultivation partner, even lining up would stretch beyond the deserted island!

Last time, seeing with cold eyes, Lady Yin Mountain's gaze was not very pure; it seems she's also coveting this enticing morsel.

"Just enjoy it, meals are ready. We've been scattered everywhere recently, so it's not easy to gather for a reunion meal. Let's taste my new dishes!" Jiang Yuan watched Hu Zhile's fondness surpass three diamonds, his heart filled with delight.

Just today with a sumptuous feast prepared using demon beast meat, it contains more harmonious spiritual energy, easier for them to absorb, they're bound to love it.

Sure enough, upon entering the restaurant, even Bai Yunqi's eyes widened, "Venerable Family, your culinary arts have become more sophisticated! Preserving the spiritual power within food so perfectly and harmoniously is... the method of an Immortal Chef, right?"

"That's right, it's the Immortal Chef's method!" Blue Bird, who had tasted the new dishes, nodded vigorously, "We're really in for a treat!"

Yun Mo and Wan Mingchuan didn't understand Immortal Chef skills, they only knew the dishes on the table had an alluring color, aroma, and taste, with subtle spirals of spiritual energy on them, making them salivate.

Jiang Yuan beckoned everyone to sit down, even Yun Shu who didn't need food joined at the table to increase her involvement, as it's a reunion meal, she too is a member of the small courtyard.

"Clearly, everyone has gained from recent days and is very happy. Let me first share a good news: this time, thanks to the Venerable Family's blessings, I have learned a Heavenly Level technique — 'Devouring Technique'!"

Bai Yunqi stepped forward to report gains, his face couldn't hide his smile, "This technique doesn't require specific attributes for cultivation, if your essence is strong, deploying it is stronger, otherwise slightly weaker, but it enables us to significantly increase the speed of spiritual power absorption and cultivation!

According to the rules, starting today, I will teach this technique to everyone. Also reminding you all, there are many cultivation techniques that need to be taught and learned, you should decide if you want to join based on your circumstances.

Biting off more than you can chew. Sometimes studying more but shallowly isn't beneficial; better to focus on one or two cultivation techniques and delve into extensively."

Blue Bird, gnawing on a fish head, almost choked, "What did you say? There are actually Heavenly Level techniques to join?!"
