CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 309: SO FRAGRANT!

It’s that distress signal again!

Without thinking, Jiang Yuan simply dismissed the system inquiry. Although it’s a distress signal from the void, who knows if it’s truly a call for help or a trap?

Moreover, it’s so dangerous to teleport without knowing who the other party is!

Like the ancient bell’s mournful sound echoing through the world causing his feet to tingle, he didn’t care and pushed open the mill door to harvest products while replenishing raw materials.

Lately, he’s been focused on refreshing dungeons and hasn’t made much incense. His two contract pets eagerly wait every day to eat incense from their magical artifact incense burner. Jiang Yuan thinks he needs to farm experience to upgrade his Incense Chart skills in order to make higher quality incense for them.

Incidentally, there’s also a shortage of incense stick supply in the real world.

After all, the effect is better and more convenient compared to taking the little blue pills. It has no side effects and can even nourish the body, making it like an Immortal Elixir to rich second-generation youths who love to have fun.

Even the Night Jasmine incense sells out within seconds, with as many sold as available. Yang Hongye is so busy she even hired a few good-looking temporary couriers to deliver door-to-door to local clients.

Who would complain about having too much money in their bank account?

Jiang Yuan considers himself an ordinary person. Even with astronomical savings, he can’t spit out lofty phrases like "I don’t love money," so he plans to spare some time to make more incense to ensure this skill level that makes big money in the real world doesn’t fall behind.

"Woo~"

After finishing all the work in the workshop, Jiang Yuan was ready to go mining when he heard the low whimper from the teleportation array again.

[Teleportation array has received a distress signal from void coordinates ???, quick teleportation point marked, teleport?]

This is the first time that consecutive "distress signals" have appeared, faintly feeling that the other party seems a bit urgent.

"But hold on, no no no, I never fight unprepared!" Without thinking, he dismissed it again.

Even if the distress signal is from that "Ya" who loves writing diaries and is on a deserted island looking around, Jiang Yuan thinks there’s no need to take risks.

However, the courtyard members were alarmed. Bai Yunqi peeked out a huge snake head from the spirit pool, flickering a fresh red tongue as he asked, "Venerable Family, this sound seems to come from underground, shaking the bottom of the spirit pool."

"Master, I feel it too. Even the beams are humming!" Wan Mingchuan pushed open his bedroom window facing the yard, shouted at him, "Will it scare the chickens, ducks, and geese in the poultry pen?"

His favorite food is eggs, fearing that the hens get spooked and won’t lay eggs, depriving him of his master’s delicious fried eggs.

Yun Mo squatted on a treetop, poked his head out with a response, "The Divine Tree is fine. Although there’s a feeling of tremor, it’s still quite stable overall."

Hu Zhile and Yun Shu were sitting by the spirit pool chatting leisurely. The repeated massive humming sounds accompanied by vibrations left them a bit baffled but they remained calm, for having the Venerable Family meant no worries.

"No need to worry, it won’t affect us..." Before Jiang Yuan finished his words, the ground hummed again and a more urgent low whimper resounded by his ears.

[Teleportation array has received a distress signal from void coordinates ???, quick teleportation point marked, teleport?]

What the...? Third time now!

He firmly dismissed it, saying he wouldn’t go. Knowing nothing about the void situation, not even who is calling for help, or if it’s genuinely seeking help, why put himself in danger?

The sender can’t come over except for sending signals, so there’s no need to worry about danger to the yard.

However, when the fourth and fifth humming continued on, the system couldn’t hold back any longer.

[Time-sensitive task: Teleport to void coordinates ??? within five minutes, assist the cultivator sending the distress signal to regain freedom. Reward: Unlock intermediate attire blueprint]

Meow meow meow?

Jiang Yuan initially thought it was another inquiry about whether to go. However, he never anticipated that after tugging it back and forth, the system seemed eager to mediate. Was the distress signal from the void another waiting-to-trigger side quest?

Yet, the system didn’t foresee his ability to resist curiosity, unwilling to teleport after receiving the signal for fear it wouldn’t be triggered, leading to issuing a time-sensitive task to "force" himself to go?

Although... but... unlocking intermediate attire blueprint means he can craft the Feathered Robe. Does this count as forcing the system to push out a reward inadvertently, unlocking attire blueprints ahead of time?

Oh well, since the system is so eager, let’s take a look.

So when the inquiry popped up again, Jiang Yuan didn’t dismiss it but hesitated for two seconds before naming, "Xiao Bai, Zhile, you both accompany me."

"Venerable Family knows where this sound is coming from?" Bai Yunqi transformed into human form and landed, curiosity flooding his face, "Is there danger? Should we prepare for combat?"

Jiang Yuan was unsure since even the distress content wasn’t prompted by the system. He could only nod, "Be cautious and prepare for battle, make sure not to stray far from me. If things seem off, we’ll teleport back immediately!"

Wan Mingchuan felt a dozen cats scratching at him, intensely curious about following them, but helplessly he lacked the power, watching as his master and the other two entered the teleportation array.

Clicking teleportation options to select the specially marked spot, consumed thirty Spirit Stones, and in just a blink of an eye temperature felt like it dropped, chilling.

"What is this place?" Hu Zhile instinctively sniffed, yet in the space lacking spiritual energy, it felt dry without signs of any living beings.

Bai Yunqi circled cautiously, feeling it seemed like an enormous cavern, its ceiling material unknown yet slow phosphorescent-like glow dimly lighting the space, neither too dark nor overwhelmingly bright.

[Consume ten thousand Spirit Stones to establish a teleportation array here?]

Just upon landing, the system hurriedly prompted an inquiry.

Jiang Yuan first checked the surroundings for safety, feeling it was a fairly enclosed space without the envisioned void floating scenery, promptly choosing to spend money to avert disaster.

Now being in the void, setting up a teleportation array means travel is more convenient, otherwise, if a teleportation scroll is restricted and not returning home, then what?

This small expense can’t be saved!

Spirit Stones were spent quickly establishing a simple version of a teleportation array akin to one by the seaside, confirming its function working fine before Jiang Yuan held the Blade, signaling his two contract pets to be cautious and proceed together into the cave’s depths.

[Broken Chaotic Heaven Bell: A divine artifact crafted by the Tribulation Crossing Realm Great Perfection cultivator Qingniao for protection during reincarnation. After long years exhausting divine power, losing its artifact spirit, yet due to being a supreme treasure, its massive weight traps Qingniao inside. Can be repaired and upgraded in Treasure Forging Workshop]

No wonder the system urgently pushed to help, it seemed there was great benefit indeed!

Twisting and turning finally reaching the main cavern, they immediately encountered a towering black bell standing tall. After viewing its details, Jiang Yuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he stepped forward to eagerly store it in his Storage Bag.

This item is fantastic! Even if just rudimentary repaired till functional, it can envelop Lin Family’s Black Tower, ensuring disciples safely awaken their bloodline heritage!
