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

"That demon beast is called the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast, with a pair of golden horns on its head. I need to use it to craft a magical treasure."

Xie Chenyuan said, lacking confidence, "If you need a Thunder Element Technique, there might be a chance to find one. After all, before the beast escaped, it seemed to take quite a few treasures from the family, yet no force that divided the Shen Clan managed to find the Shen Family's inherited cultivation technique.

However, I do have a secret technique to attempt tracking it down, but finding it will depend on luck."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled, "Planning depends on man, success depends on heaven. Whether it's there or not, we'll take a shot first. Zhile is skilled at tracking aura. I don't know what means Xie Dao You intends to use to search, but many hands make light work. Let's discuss and see if we can find it sooner."

Yun Mo was very excited and once again extremely grateful. Upon hearing there was a Thunder Element Technique, the gentleman first thought of him. Unfortunately, though his cultivation speed has increased significantly, he still hasn't broken through the Gathering Spirit Realm and is still hovering around the Foundation Establishment Realm, unable to help much.

Xie Senior is a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and he even has to seek the gentleman's help. It's clear this trip will certainly be perilous.

"I need a quiet environment to perform the secret technique. If I find any traces, I'll trouble Miss Hu to assist in tracking it." Xie Chenyuan naturally wouldn't reveal his ability to observe causes and effects and perform divination, thinking he'd best give it a try first.

The small courtyard had many vacant rooms, and Hu Zhile led him to the next room to perform the secret technique.

"Hopefully, we'll find some clues smoothly." Bai Yunqi was very covetous of that trace of Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline, and the spirit tea in his hand was losing its flavor.

He knew well the temper of the venerable family. If it were truly found, he would certainly strive to obtain some to ingest himself.

As he was originally a snake, no matter how high his cultivation, he was merely a White Snake Demon. How joyful it would be to transform into a dragon and completely change form through a fortuitous encounter?

The problem is, transforming into a dragon is no easy task. Although a Flood Dragon carried the "dragon" label, it wasn't a true dragon. There was still quite a gap between himself and a Flood Dragon, so he must strive to first cultivate into a Flood Dragon, then cross the tribulation to transform into a dragon!

"I want to join the fun too, but..." The Green Bird sighed heavily, seeing something fun but unable to participate due to his low realm, his small face drooped as he pointed at Wan Mingchuan, Yun Mo, and Yun Shu and grumbled, "We little minions shouldn't even dream about it. It's critical to boost our strength as soon as possible."

[Detected that Xie Chenyuan is performing divination, would you like to expend 10,000 Faith Value points to assist?]

A system prompt suddenly popped up, leaving Jiang Yuan confused — was there a hidden assistance mode?

However, it wouldn't consume much Faith Value, and helping him achieve a detailed result would benefit everyone in adventure and monster hunting.

Thus, he didn't hesitate to choose to assist.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Xie Chenyuan was performing a divination secret technique, beads of sweat forming finely on his forehead. Although the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast wasn't a demon cultivator, due to the careful nurturing by the Shen Clan, its current combat strength was no less than his. Trying to divine its hiding place was indeed somewhat strenuous.

The original plan was to divine a general location with a mindset of trying and exploring together with Jiang Dao You, which would also deepen their cooperative relationship.

Unexpectedly, a fellow encountered by chance swiftly became an honored guest elder of the sect; beside him was an incredibly powerful reincarnated senior, putting immense pressure on him. Naturally, he couldn't simply perform a casual divination for a general location as planned; otherwise, he would utterly disgrace the sect.

"Bless you, Patriarch, please grant me strength and support. I must successfully locate it!" Xie Chenyuan looked at the compass wildly spinning in his hand, unable to determine a location, sweating profusely, and could only silently pray.

Then, he heard a voice echoing in his mind from an inexplicable place — "Calm your mind, concentrate, and listen carefully!"

"Is that Jiang Senior's voice?!" Xie Chenyuan didn't know why he heard the other's voice, but the soothing yet steady words immediately calmed him down. He took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes and listened according to the prompt.

"Whirr~ Splash~"

"The sound of the sea breeze and waves hitting the shore?" For the first time during divination, he didn't rely on the compass but used his senses to obtain information. He was both excited and nervous, feeling a kind of enlightenment.

Afraid to think further, Xie Chenyuan quickly focused, hearing the rustling leaves in the wind and the whimpering sound of wind passing through a massive cave.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and saw the compass needle stubbornly pointing towards the southeast.

"The Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast is hiding on a small island in the human world beneath the southeast direction!" He was immensely confident in the divination result he'd obtained, rushed back to the tea room to convey the information.

Green Bird was puzzled, "I haven't even finished half a cup of tea, and you've found a clue? That's too quick!"

Xie Chenyuan straightened his expression and respectfully saluted Jiang Yuan, "Thanks to Senior for offering assistance."

He knew that relying on his strength to divine, it was impossible to obtain such a clear result quickly and effortlessly. There could be only one reason — the other party used some secret technique to assist, which was why he heard a voice entering his mind.

"Oh, it was just a small effort..." Jiang Yuan stammered, thinking to himself, the system didn't anonymously help? How did it help then? Why did he know I aided him?

The system surely couldn't have straightforwardly guided him with my avatar, could it?

The casual short reply confirmed his suspicion, and Xie Chenyuan was emotionally stirred. He thought he should quickly send a communication to his master to inform him of this matter, perhaps the old gentleman could resolve his confusion.

"Now that we have a general direction, let's set off." Jiang Yuan nodded to several of the Green Birds, "You all can move freely, whether strolling around or returning to Cloud Prairie. Try not to separate, stay safe, and come home by morning."

Green Bird stood up and squeaked, "I'm not going to stroll around. I've been drinking spirit tea the entire time and feeling very energetic. Brother, send me to Miasma Ridge. I want to advance my realm as fast as possible! When my strength improves, I will join you all in adventuring and hunting demons!"

"I want to go back to the treehouse to cultivate. Recently I feel I've touched the promotion threshold, and I want to push through to advance to the Gathering Spirit Realm!" Yun Mo waved his fist to pump himself up.

Thinking that he couldn't help much anyway and wandering would cost money, it would be better to quickly enhance his realm. If the gentleman could really find another thunder element technique for him to study, the higher the realm, the easier it would be to learn!

Wan Mingchuan saw this decided to cultivate at home; Yun Shu wanted to visit Cloud City to look at the shops, find one with high cost performance and quickly buy it, tidy it up, and officially open the spirit medicine shop.

Then Xie Chenyuan witnessed an even more magical scene.

Jiang Yuan took Green Bird away, without even the basic spiritual power fluctuation, and disappeared in the tea room in an instant. Before he could react, the other party returned alone from "Miasma Ridge"!

What mysterious means could achieve this without using a teleportation talisman or scroll but somehow transported people so effortlessly?

And what is Miasma Ridge? Is it the exclusive cultivation place for that terrifying reincarnated senior?

While Jiang Yuan took the others to the teleportation array to send them home, leaving only Bai Yunqi and Hu Zhile who could help patiently waiting, Xie Chenyuan hurriedly sent a message using the communication stone to his master, pouring all his doubts into it for resolution.

In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yuan returned to join them in heading out of the city to the location marked by the compass over the vast ocean, searching for the island where the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast was hidden.
