CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 278: WHAT AUDACITY!

The elusive temptation murmur seemed surprised by the other’s confident and decisive retort, and fell silent.

Jiang Yuan realized later, could this be the system prompt "Unable to dispel the grudge lingering within, the longer you wear the skull, the easier it is to be disturbed by the grudge leading to madness"? The grudge disturbance effect?

Seems kind of weak, can it really tempt and disturb the mind?

"I can make you stronger!" The murmur grew increasingly enticing, "Turn you into the strongest in this world, ascend to immortality!"

"Are you really that powerful?" Jiang Yuan had to focus carefully to hear the faint whisper, and asked curiously, "Then how did you die? Did you die from being too powerful?"

The grudge murmur was silenced again, then changed the topic, "Aren’t you unwilling?"

Unwilling my foot!

Can’t even scam people properly, you should really go to the modern world for scam, MLM, and pig butchering training before you start working, your business skills are truly terrible.

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Yuan had no time to chit-chat with a silly grudge. He clicked to uninstall the equipment, thinking is this all? Not much of a threat at all.

Previously seeing the system prompt, he was a bit worried. Now, having experienced it himself, he instantly relaxed.

During a fight, he definitely couldn’t spare time to concentrate and listen to its nagging; and when not fighting, just uninstalling it doesn’t affect him, if it doesn’t work, just regard it as idle chit-chat.

"Sir!"

Opening the door to the grocery store, just stepping into the small courtyard, Jiang Yuan heard Yun Mo’s somewhat excited voice. He looked carefully and saw a burly man over two meters tall with wide shoulders and a narrow waist standing in the courtyard, his short hair spiked backward; and black clothes with feather decorations on both shoulders.

"Yun Mo? You’ve mastered the Transformation Technique?" Jiang Yuan was quite shocked, especially seeing the ice-winged eagle transformed into a human, he was a bit confused for a moment.

Weren’t cultivators supposed to look handsome?

Being one of the handsome ice-winged eagles, Yun Mo while not terribly unattractive in human form, didn’t belong to the cool and handsome types.

Especially the signature hooked nose, making him seem somewhat crafty yet unclear.

"Thanks to Senior Bai’s personal teaching of the Transformation Technique and Senior Hu’s patient guidance, I can finally transform into a human form and leave the demon beast form." Yun Mo displayed somewhat awkwardly, then grinned foolishly, "But I’m still not really used to it. Besides eating at the table, I feel more comfortable staying in demon beast form."

After the bond with the mount joined the small courtyard, the once proud "child of heaven" received quite a blow. Now, having finally succeeded in cultivation, he needs some reward.

Thinking of all the things he bought for his disciple; having customized Magical Artifacts for Bai Xiaobai and Hu Zhile, but not finding suitable Cultivation Techniques for Yun Mo...

"Hmm, mastering the Transformation Technique will indeed be more convenient, just maintain whichever form you like in usual times." He uninstalled the system’s reward of the Black Cloak and handed it over, "This cloak can conceal your form, though it has slight flaws, it’s enough for regular use."

Delighted in the successful transformation, Yun Mo hadn’t realized. Due to the Cultivation Technique mismatching his nature, his spiritual power absorption was extremely slow; all the effort put into cultivating the Transformation Technique was far less effective.

After tirelessly striving for some time, he finally sees remarkable progress in cultivation, filled with excitement.

Seeing the sir casually give him a Black Cloak Magical Treasure, Yun Mo recalled the brief possession of a cloak, which once allowed him to no longer fear the Heaven-Burning Flame and successfully reclaim Lushan, the cloak he bought at auction with a huge sum. Compared to the cloak that can conceal aura and form, the latter was naturally more precious.

Moved deeply, Yun Mo wondered why despite having little contribution and poor cultivation in the small courtyard, he was still under the sir’s protection and receiving so many gifts?

"What? Don’t like it?" Seeing Yun Mo unmoved, Jiang Yuan thought he might not like the gift and laughed, "Use it first, I’ll get you a better one when I find it!"

"No, no, sir, don’t misunderstand, I’m just..." Yun Mo’s nose twitched and his eyes reddened. He hurriedly explained, "I just feel slightly undeserving."

"What’s undeserving about it? Take it first, I’ll watch the Market for suitable Cultivation Techniques and get you one or two for cultivation. With your hard work and the accumulation over these years, surely you’ll achieve great breakthroughs!"

Well, just keep encouraging him with sweet words, what else can you do?

Finding Cultivation Techniques isn’t like picking cabbage from a field, especially when it’s like finding a needle in a haystack for what suits him is even harder.

"Here are ten Second Grade Spirit Core Pills, take them, I’ll refine another batch later and give you more." Jiang Yuan kept a few fewer this time, as there are many places needing money, he has to prioritize sales first.

Cloud Mo couldn’t dream he could enjoy Second Grade Elixir in this lifetime, his hands trembled with excitement.

The shock from the words "take them" lasted for a long time. Indeed worthy of respect from even Senior Bai, the sir easily gives away Magical Treasures and even lets him, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm mount, casually enjoy Second Grade Elixir!

What kind of boldness is this!

After gifting the congratulatory present, Jiang Yuan hurried to the shop to harvest, add new materials, and upon completing one round opened the second home interface and clicked to enter. The next second he appeared in the desolate small yard at Lotus Peak, Great Yin Mountain in the Netherworld.

"This... nothing here, should Bai be called over without problem?" Jiang Yuan inspected briefly, and the system gave no prompt. The Protective Array isn’t fully set yet, he can’t do it, so he needs Bai to come and finish it.

In addition, Hu Zhile needs to introduce him so he can see the Yin Mountain female corpse. Firstly to discuss the collaboration for the trip to Wo Hu Temple; secondly to inquire about the Dream Link method, if he learned it, upon returning to the real world, Ding Xiaoxiao and her family could meet in dreams.

Clicking to return to the main courtyard, Jiang Yuan approached the Spirit Pool and called softly, "Bai, Bai!"

"Splash!"

Water splashed, a huge snake head emerged from the water, "What are Venerable Family’s orders?"

"Let’s tidy up the mess at Lotus Peak, set up the Array, let Old Man Wan continue overseeing the mining." He patiently explained, "I’ve checked, aside from the traces left from our battle that day, there’s nothing else. I think you can restrain your aura and go over, there should be no problem."

On hearing this, Bai Yunqi quickly transformed to human form on land, "That would be great! I knew it, after so many years it shouldn’t hold a grudge that strongly, plus the Netherworld is so vast, just my little action won’t easily be noticed."

Bai Yunqi’s mood instantly improved, he brushed aside his red horns and called, "Hu Zhile, weren’t you wishing Venerable Family for a meeting with your former family? A trip over there could save some Teleportation Scroll energy."

Hu Zhile ended her cultivation and came over slowly, "Venerable Family, do you have time to meet with the ma’am? If so, I’ll pass a message. After all, there is only a month left until Wo Hu Temple’s Immortal Peach ripens, you two need to discuss how to collaborate and plot for the Immortal Peach."

If the collaboration goes well, we can ride the Yin Mountain female corpse’s Immortal Ship and take a spin in the void!

"Just as well, let’s discuss it thoroughly this time." Jiang Yuan nodded, signaling her to step forward.

With the two bonded pets standing properly, he placed a hand on their shoulders and clicked to enter the second home again, the scenery in front changed in an instant, with the wind whistling and twisted trees everywhere, unexpectedly arriving at the small house at the foot of Lotus Peak, Great Yin Mountain.

Bai Yunqi and Hu Zhile widened their eyes, shocked deeply on their faces, no Teleportation Scroll used, no Teleportation Talisman used, not even the Ancient Teleportation Array, how did Venerable Family accomplish that?!
