CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 286: MILLENNIUM SPIDER SILK AND TEXTILE WORKSHOP

Last time when Jiang Yuan visited Spiders Valley, he marked and saved the coordinates.

Logically, once he teleports over with the upgraded Profound Iron Scissors and takes the Antitoxic Pill, he should be able to try approaching to harvest the Millennium Spider Silk materials and return to build the Textile Workshop. But the problem is the poison gas in Spiders Valley is too severe; what if the Antitoxic Pill doesn’t work?

So, after thinking it over carefully, he decided to bring Xiao Ba along.

Firstly, to inquire in detail about the situation on the Feathered Robe’s making;

Secondly, he had seen Xiao Ba’s special skills before, holding all sorts of things and working yet without chaos, her body was suspended stably by spider silk, even more impressive than Spider-Man.

Should the situation turn dire and the Teleportation Talisman becomes unusable, having her use spider silk for rescue would likely increase the success rate, as the final safety net;

Thirdly, the triggered side quest—heritage of Spiders Valley.

Since the system released a task requiring assistance to any Spider Race descendant to obtain ancestral heritage, why not give this great opportunity to Xiao Ba?

Without her guidance, he couldn’t even find where Spiders Valley is; reciprocity leads to this win-win!

"Mr. Jiang, are you really going over there?" Xiao Ba stood trembling on the cliff, vividly recalling the scene from last time when probing paper cranes were corroded by poison gas and turned into flying ash, which frightened her greatly.

Jiang Yuan comforted, "Before approaching, I will take an Antitoxic Pill, so it should not be dangerous. Even if I can’t withstand the corruption of poison gas, I can use the Teleportation Talisman to leave the dangerous area. If I’m too injured to teleport, that’s when you’ll need to use spider silk to help me withdraw. No need to be tense."

In fact, he calculated that each day spent in the Wilderness World increased his health by 20 points, and now his health bar was more than a thousand, thick enough; along with the Antitoxic Pill which could cancel out part of the damage, he planned to cautiously approach first and try.

To take the worst-case scenario, even if the poison gas is extremely powerful, making the Teleportation Talisman unusable, directly exiting Wilderness World would at least guarantee his safety.

"Alright then." Xiao Ba nervously rubbed her hands, pulling out a spider silk as thick as a pinky finger from her third hand and offered it, "For safety, Mr. Jiang, you should wrap this spider silk around yourself beforehand. I worry that if the distance is too far, and the spider silk I shoot doesn’t catch you immediately, it might delay the rescue timing."

This made sense too; when Jiang Yuan took the spider silk, he only then realized how good it felt in hand, soft with a slight elasticity.

Additionally, Xiao Ba’s spider silk appeared semi-transparent and was quite resilient; after looping it around his waist several times, it automatically adhered together, indeed enhancing his sense of security.

Riding a paper crane, he arrived at the nearest safe distance to Spiders Valley. She found a big tree, shot her spider silk up, expertly wrapped it around her body, and lifted off, with another thread connecting Jiang Yuan, ready to pull him back at any moment.

[Consumed Third Grade Antitoxic Pill; No poisoning detected. Poison Resistance +1000; Duration: 40 hours]

It was Jiang Yuan’s first time swallowing an elixir and he had no experience; the boost in poison resistance numbers was notably heavy, so he charged directly towards Spiders Valley with the Profound Iron Scissors.

[Suffered Poisonous Corruption; Damage -0]

[Damage -0]

...

Approximately every twenty seconds, a small -0 prompt popped up, evidently the toxins in the outer layer of Spiders Valley couldn’t bypass the defense of the Third Grade Antitoxic Pill, which assured him.

After wielding the scissors for five minutes, he managed to cut off a large bundle of finely textured, glistening spider silk.

[Millennium Spider Silk containing venom +1; The toxic substances can be purified in the lava pool at the back of Spiders Valley. Note: Poisonous spider silk stored in a Storage Bag will still emit poison gas causing certain damage to the host.]

"I still have to find the lava pool?" Jiang Yuan opened the map to check, and indeed there was a lava pool not far to the right and back from the entrance of Spiders Valley.

Since he didn’t need the final rescue assurance, he untangled the spider silk and let Xiao Ba find a place to cultivate, while he ran to the lava pool and tossed the bundles of venom-laden spider silk into the bubbling pool.

[Millennium Spider Silk +1]

[Spiders Valley’s special poison +1, can be used directly; can be refined to imbue weapons with poison; can be used to create specific elixirs]

A moment later, two finished items automatically collected into the Storage Bag, the poison attacks finally ceased.

The task wasn’t difficult but was somewhat time-consuming; Jiang Yuan, thinking he couldn’t take the elixir for nothing having come all this way, dedicated an entire night eventually handling 99+ portions of Millennium Spider Silk and special poison.

Cuttering away a thick piled swath of spider silk at the snow-white entrance to Spiders Valley, he opened a large hole, glimpsing inside could barely see shadows likely of dead trees.

It seemed he was far from finding the heritage, so he gifted some Millennium Spider Silk to Xiao Ba as thanks, sent her back to the Cyan Fish Mountain Market, and hurried back to the small courtyard. At dawn, he successfully clicked to construct the Textile Workshop!

[Task 2 Textile Workshop construction complete, reward Artifact Refining Material Package +1 issued]

[Main task: Level Four homestead construction complete, reward copy of Great Wilderness Heart Method issued]

[Main task: Level Five homestead construction. Reward: Intermediate blueprint section unlocked]

[New area unlocked, will be formally included in protection scope post Wilderness Ascension]

[Task 1: Repair the fish pond and breed at least five fish species. Reward: Random special fish seedling +2]

Just then, Wilderness Ascension took place, after the captivating scenery faded, a broken wooden bridge by the river was fully exposed, if he wanted to cross the river to cultivate, this bridge had to be repaired first.

Following Jiang Yuan’s habits, he would certainly bury himself in hard work to unveil all wasteland as soon as possible, farm where needed, and reorganize the workshop locations then redecorate anew.

But today was different; he had no interest in cultivating land.

Because last night under Xiao Bai’s guidance, his apprentice had stabilized the slightly inflated Spiritual Power post-ascension; according to their agreement, today he was to send him back to the Lin Family to check it out. This was a significant event for the small courtyard, Jiang Yuan didn’t want anything to delay or impact the apprentice’s mood.

After receiving the Artifact Refining Material Large Package, he went to the Treasure Forging Workshop to place the primitive phase jujube wood stick in, clicking on the whistle stick for upgrades, then pulled out the system-rewarded mid-level Earth rank cultivation technique, Great Wilderness Heart Method from the Storage Bag.

He didn’t immediately start learning, as once opened it tends to easily disappear, which would be such a waste.

There were so many mouths waiting to be fed in the courtyard, with the effects of the Third Grade Antitoxic Elixir lasting a little longer, it sufficed for challenging the new Kun Dao dungeon in the evening; not rushing into learning the new cultivation method could free up time to plan benefits for family members.

"Xiao Bai, come over here." Jiang Yuan waved to the Spirit Pool, waited for the contract pet to come over, handed the cultivation method over, and instructed, "This is the mid-level Earth rank cultivation method I just acquired. You’ve got four days, learn as much as you can."

"The Venerable Family was busy all night and ended up with a local Earth rank cultivation method?!" Xiao Bai just emerged from the Spirit Pool, visibly astonished, feeling like he was dreaming.

The Vast Mountains and Rivers given by the Venerable Family a few days ago hadn’t been fully studied either, and now an Earth rank mid-level cultivation method appeared. Although slightly inferior compared to the previous one, looking at the cultivation method’s name, one could tell it was quite practical.

Considering the Venerable Family’s "seal," he was relieved and internally marveled indeed at the profound foundation of an expert!

Four days was not much time, Bai Yunqi thanked him before hurriedly grabbing the cultivation method and diving into it.

To save time, he didn’t even bother having breakfast, diving headfirst into the secrets hoping to imprint all the content into his memory at one glance.

"Where’s the Lin Family located in Central Province?" After everyone finished eating, and discussed accompanying Wan Mingchuan to the Lin Family, Bai Yunqi finally closed the book, packed it into his Storage Bag, and asked, "Venerable Family, are we using the Teleportation Scroll to go there?"
