CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: NEW ATTRACTION - TREE HOUSE

As everyone knows, usually there is a world of difference between a design sketch and the final product.

Especially when Jiang Yuan tread on a silver fish, gliding effortlessly across the water’s surface, creating ripples as he arrived at the little shop next door. Seeing the design sketch offered by the owner with such enthusiasm, he became even more doubtful of the difference.

"I can assure you there’s absolutely no difference, what you see is what you get!" Hou Ze thumped his chest proudly, "Let me put it this way, if our artifact refiner performs normally, it will be identical to the sketch. If they perform exceptionally, it will look even more impressive!"

What if they mess up?

Though he thought this, he smiled and earnestly reviewed the sketch. He had to admit, the design was indeed attractive.

The golden incense burner was adorned with a majestic White Dragon, its crimson eyes exuding an unrestrained arrogance; meanwhile, the other was more reserved, with a White Fox lying peacefully, its eyes calm like water, but carrying a mysterious and solemn aura.

"Alright, refine it like this." Jiang Yuanxin said, as long as it resembles seventy percent of the sketch, it would be quite satisfactory.

He couldn’t help but smile slightly at the thought of bringing back the two magic incense burners as gifts for his contract pets, imagining their astonishment and delight.

Seeing the new neighbor so satisfied, Hou Ze grinned broadly, "Once you receive it, you’ll know. For our small shop to last so many years at the Golden Carp Lake Market, we absolutely have genuine skills!

From now on, we are neighbors, feel free to come to me for any magical artifacts or treasures. Even if our artifact refiner can’t make it, I have connections and can help you find something satisfactory!"

"Really? In that case, I do need a treasure." Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up, "I need a protective treasure for when I’m in secluded cultivation, something that can prevent other cultivators from breaking in using Teleportation Scrolls or Teleportation Talismans, the range is roughly..."

Recalling Lin Shuo’s detailed description of the Black Tower’s interior, he gestured: "The protection range should be about halfway between our two shops."

"Squeak squeak?"

Just as the little golden monkey was preparing to flip through its book for a big order, it paused, scratching its head in confusion, and tilted its little head to make an inquisitive sound at its owner.

Hou Ze grinned and patiently explained, "Little brother, what you described falls under absolute control domains. That’s not a treasure, but a protection effect only close to a Divine Artifact or Holy Artifact could have. However, since it’s for blocking other cultivators during secluded cultivation, you can look for an array master.

Spend more Spirit Stones to set up multiple layers of high-level arrays in your cave dwelling. The layered protection ultimately forms a restriction. As long as the opponent’s strength isn’t vastly superior to the array’s level, you can naturally cultivate in peace."

That’s how it is!

Jiang Yuan thanked him and tread on the silver fish to traverse the Golden Carp Lake Market, working until daylight when the market closed, but couldn’t find a reliable array.

Given the system’s tip that the person named Yuan is a Heartbeat Realm cultivator, to block him from forcibly entering, arrays of equal or even higher level were needed. The problem was, the Golden Carp Lake Market couldn’t meet such criteria.

To get that high-level array, one would need to go to a more advanced market, and even Wo Hu Temple Market, a level above Golden Carp Lake Market, might not have it.

"What should I do?" Jiang Yuan entered the courtyard of the Floating Market with a frown, only to see the large shadow of Yun Mo curled up next to the Cherry tree in the morning light.

When he first arrived at the small courtyard, he would sit wherever there was space;

Later, when Little White had the Furong Spirit Pool, the clearing around the Cherry tree was given to Yun Mo. His large body couldn’t rest on or under the tree, so he could only curl up beside it. Thinking about the magic incense burners customized for the two contract pets...

Last time he sold Elixirs and made less than six million; he spent three million on a face accessory, leaving him with less than three million in his account now.

After upgrading his home to Level Four, the system mall unlocked a tree house priced at fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and Jiang Yuan was conflicted. The massive, wonderful Furong Spirit Pool only cost thirty thousand, yet a single tree could soar to fifty thousand, isn’t it too expensive?

Thinking about how hard it was to earn money and the numerous things to spend on, he didn’t purchase it immediately.

However, after a round at the market and realizing that money couldn’t solve his disciple’s issues, Jiang Yuan, comparing Yun Mo’s status in the courtyard, decided to spend a bit to buy him a tree house!

With the decision made, he opened the mall, selected the purchase, and dragged the tree house thumbnail to place it in the southwest corner by the entrance.

[Tree House: The main body is a gigantic Divine Wood. Approximately twenty meters tall, the lush canopy contains abundant Spiritual Energy, enhancing the Spiritual Energy content within the entire homestead by 20%; increases the safety coefficient of the homestead protection shield by 20%; can adjust the home’s overall temperature and humidity, making the hot summer or cold winter relatively more comfortable.]

It’s truly a decoration with the style of a farming game, offering enticing bonuses along with high aesthetic appeal.

Once positioned, and the spot chosen, a large mist of gray fog appeared. Once it dissipated, he saw the true form of the tree house, unable to suppress his grin.

It looked incredibly bold and beautiful!

The majestic twenty-meter-tall tree was lush and vigorous. A luxurious ancient-styled building sat atop the thick main trunk, with a floating Cloud Ladder spiraling down from the tiny house entrance along the trunk to the ground.

It was a seamless blend of childlike wonder and traditional architecture, even imbued with a layer of Immortal Energy due to the ethereal Cloud Ladder, like the Secret Realm where Immortals reside; diffuse Spiritual Energy wafted from the dense tree canopy.

With the new decoration officially appearing, Jiang Yuan felt a fresh, moist breeze hit him in the face, instantly making him feel as if he were in a forest air bath, a deep breath filling him with contentment!

"Venerable family, what is this..." Hu Zhile was the first to sense the Spiritual Energy in the courtyard become suddenly richer, and upon opening her eyes, saw the venerable family standing under a silently appeared giant tree looking up.

She looked at the magnificent Divine Wood and slowly stood up, thoroughly stunned by the continuously emitting Spiritual Energy.

Previously, when the venerable family constructed the Furong Spirit Pool, Hu Zhile was shocked for a long time, never imagining such a miraculous thing could exist, she even doubted if the venerable family had brought it from some legendary fragmented Celestial Realm.

She always thought the Spirit Pool was enough for her to boast about for years, never expecting quietly, without a hint, a more formidable Spirit Tree would appear!

The dense Spiritual Energy it emitted was even more vast and rich, matching the Furong Spirit Pool in both visual pleasure and efficacy.

"Tree house, isn’t it beautiful?" Jiang Yuan turned to look at her, smiled lightly, and said, "In the future, let Yun Mo reside in the tree house to cultivate well, so he won’t have to stay cramped by the Cherry tree. Next time there’s an even better one, I’ll reserve it for you!"

Daring to make such a promise because the yet-to-unlock Level Five courtyard decor already showed potential—a small underground cave with lustrous, transparent stalactites looking exquisite even in the thumbnail, and by the system’s tendency, the actual item would definitely be more visually pleasing.

Work hard to make more money, and when it unlocks, upgrade and buy it for Hu Zhile to live in!

"Then... thank you, Venerable family!" Hu Zhile, overwhelmed with surprise and joy that she couldn’t hide, thought the venerable family was truly wonderful! I must have acquired blessings from a past life to have the fortune to meet the venerable family!

[Hu Zhile Favorability +1000]

[Hu Zhile Favorability +800]

......

Unexpectedly, by painting a grand vision, Jiang Yuan received a wave of interest in advance, feeling pleased as he called out, "Yun Mo, come and see if you like your new house!"
