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

"Isn't this task just perfect for Little Bai?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but grin.

The power of Flood Dragon bloodline is indeed precious, but for human cultivators like Xie Chenyuan and Hu Zhile, who are not involved in dragon transformation or body enhancement, Immortal Jade is more practical.

Not to mention the whole small courtyard, even among all the people I know, only Bai Yunqi needs this treasure.

After all, Zhou Jian himself is an Earth Dragon; he doesn't need the little bit of bloodline power from a Water element Flood Dragon.

Joyfully organizing the items, Jiang Yuan plunged into the farmland. After harvesting crops, sowing seeds, watering, feeding chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep, collecting eggs, feathers, duck down, goose down, milking cows and sheep, and shearing wool, he completed a series of daily tasks to increase farming and breeding experience;

Each workshop's product harvest and raw material supplementation were set up, and the slaughterhouse's partitioning work was also completed.

"Xie Daoist, here is the Golden Horn you need." Jiang Yuan handed over the two huge, beautiful Golden Horns that occasionally flickered with electrical arcs. "There are also demon cores, bones, demon beast meat. Do you need anything else?"

"No, no, I don't need anything else!" Xie Chenyuan was flattered.

Primarily because he didn't exert much effort in the entire hunting process, the most precious part of the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast is the two large Golden Horns with the power of thunder, and the senior directly gave them both to him?

How can he not feel embarrassed!

Without the senior's guidance, it would have been difficult for him to even divine the location of the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast. Even if he found it, he would likely die in the thunder trap; how could he have escaped so easily?

But he really needed the Golden Horn to craft a magical treasure, so he smiled apologetically and said, "This hunt relied entirely on the senior. By rights, I shouldn't accept such a precious item, but I truly need it… So I'll shamelessly accept one. It's enough to craft a magical treasure. Many thanks, senior!"

"If it weren't for your spiritual communication, we wouldn't have had the chance to hunt; plus, you informed us about the demon beast's weaknesses, which played a significant role. This trophy is well-deserved." Jiang Yuan offered repeatedly, but the other party persisted in only accepting one, so he had to put the remaining one away.

He then took out the silver, fist-sized orb, "Little Bai, this is a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline power. It's very pure and can be safely ingested and refined. But if, like the Golden-Horned Thunder Avoiding Beast, it's impossible to refine, it might lead to loss of control and frenzy, and you'll need to find a way to expel this power from your body. Are you willing to take the risk?"

"Of course! The path of cultivation is inherently fraught with danger and opportunity. Where's the good fortune without cost?" Bai Yunqi's snake eyes gleamed with excitement, declaring with confidence, "Venerable Family, rest assured, I can certainly refine it smoothly!"

He received the greatest gain of this trip with both hands, repeatedly thanked everyone, then reverted to his original form and dove into the Spirit Pool to prepare for ingestion and refinement.

"Zhile, there is still one demon core and one Golden Horn left, which would you like?" As the head of a family, water must be balanced whenever possible. After accompanying for half the day, they should have some gains and savor the rewards.

Plus, it can brush up on a lot of goodwill.

"First, thank you, Venerable Family." Hu Zhile's waist swayed softly as she bowed and smiled, "However, you've already given me Elixir two days ago; the demon core and such are more useful to you, Venerable Family. Although I didn't exert much effort this time, I'd still like to ask Venerable Family for a good item."

She wiggled her fluffy snow-white ears and glanced at the Twin Fish Jade Pendant, "If you encounter a similar magical treasure in the future, could you please keep an eye out for me, Venerable Family? I practice the Earth Element Technique, and my fur is most troublesome when it gets wet. Having a practical Water-Resistant Magical Treasure would be wonderful!"

"No problem, I'll find one for you in a few days." Jiang Yuan readily agreed, secretly planning to equip them all. He just needed to unlock Shen Lao Liu's Storage Bag to see what good things could be distributed to her.

Xie Chenyuan felt quite envious hearing this, observing the relationship between them, where one shares good things generously, and the other can comfortably ask for what they need.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this relationship was unlike that of a patron and a Family Immortal. The senior offers opportunities for broader experiences without needing them to exert much effort, and when they gain trophies, they choose and hand them out with a benevolent smile…

Honestly, many teacher-student relationships don't reach this level. Moreover, Ginger Senior's attitude is clear and doesn't demand anything from them, seemingly like a master raising two pets, loving and caring unconditionally!

A strange thought bubbled up, making Xie Chenyuan himself laugh — who keeps two Great Demons as pets?

On second thought, even if it were about being pets, a snake and a fox might be more than willing. After all, he had just visited the small courtyard and was openly drooling with envy — each had their own individual space, all of which were Immortal Grade!

With treatment like this, if Senior Jiang were to announce it, there'd be a line of Great Demons lining up to become pets all the way to Carefree City!

"Dinner time!" Jiang Yuan expertly transformed the freshly partitioned demon beast meat into delicious cuisine and called out, "Xie Daoist, come and taste my culinary skills."

Cultivating to the Golden Core Realm allows them to fast and no longer eat; inhaling spiritual energy is sufficient to sustain bodily needs.

But even in the Nascent Soul Realm, Xie Chenyuan hadn't relinquished the pleasures of taste, choosing to reside in Carefree City, where food was a significant part of the decision.

"You're here for a meal too? Was your hunting trip successful last night?" Qingniao had just returned from the Maze Jungle, messily dirty, used a cleaning spell from head to toe, and reverted to a cute little child. She hopped on a stool, speaking in a childish voice but mature tone, "You are in for a treat! My brother's Immortal Chef skills are unparalleled across the heavens and earth, not boasting!"

"After hunting till dawn in the wilderness ascension, Jiang Senior took me back, granting me the chance to indulge." Last night, Xie Chenyuan curiously glanced at her, nearly inducing a self-destructive hemorrhage from fear, sitting formally at the table, scarcely daring to breathe.

Apart from Yun Shu, who was busy with store acquisitions, and Bai Yunqi, preparing to ingest and refine Flood Dragon's bloodline power, all were present, gathered around the table, chatting lively about the thrilling hunt, enjoying a breakfast that was both bustling and delightful.

Nearby the island blown apart and vanished in the sea, Lingdi tilted her head observing the empty, rolling waves, wagging her tail, realizing she was late.

"These little ones move so quickly, sniff sniff!" Her long nose sniffed around as she muttered quietly, "Have they teleported away? A bit tricky to find, quite a hassle for an old creature like me, woof!"

Grumbling slightly, Lingdi's vaporous foot cloud engulfed her before dispersing, her slender strong figure already vanished from sight.

Moments later, Lingdi appeared outside the protective shield of Shuiyun Lake's small courtyard, cautiously peeking inside for a while without any perception.

Then she wagged her tail, rolled on the ground to transform into a similar fluffy puppy, concealing all her aura, wobble-wobble, barking, she headed toward the small courtyard gate.
