CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 547: BYE-BYE

As Jiang Yuan’s words left his mouth, the system prompt appeared.

It wasn’t in vain to painstakingly explain from beginning to end to Lu and his sons, and then inform them how to maximize benefits. Even if they didn’t listen, as long as the other cultivators in the hall did, it was worthwhile.

No matter if it stemmed from kindness or selfishness, as long as it could prevent rootless mortals from being tempted by wicked paths, it could reduce the current danger level in the already low-status and fragile human world.

Otherwise...

He scanned the sect leaders and patriarchs whose realms weren’t high; the spiritual energy revival time was too short, and the human cultivators weren’t receiving any effective support. Counting on them to fend off the void anomalies that even troubled demon cultivators?

How many innocents would perish!

It seems that his effort was not in vain; it surely proved effective, hence classified by the system as a good deed.

Originally, the purpose of this trip was merely to take a disciple on a side quest, but unexpectedly, it involved so many scattered fragments due to the Immortal Ascension Conference.

Jiang Yuan thought he ought to quickly accumulate special materials for building upgrades, complete the main quest, elevate the courtyard to level six, and then visit Wangshi Ridge, where the Fox Immortal Sect resides...

A gigantic colorful lottery wheel appeared before him, with vibrant lights flashing beautifully.

He was preoccupied and didn’t look closely; with a thought, he chose the lottery.

The last time he participated in the lottery was when he first arrived at the Golden Carp Lake Market, and he had good luck then, acquiring a teleportation scroll. Just like this lottery thing, it’s beyond one’s control; everything depends on fate.

It was said that in the real world, virtual lottery events often have tricks, where a big prize-winning number is pre-set in the background by computers, with others merely accompanying the run.

The advantage of the system lottery was no pre-assigned numbers, ensuring fairness, leaving luck as the deciding factor.

The wheel spun incredibly fast, a flash of vibrant colors zoomed by, ultimately halting the pointer at a golden gift box.

"Boom!"

In his sight, an intensely ceremonial explosion of splendid virtual fireworks revealed the prize within the golden box — a super material selection gift pack!

A small square bore a cartoon gear icon, labeled beneath as X100.

[Super Material Selection Gift Pack: Contains 100 pieces of selectable special material packs, consuming one pack yields five pieces of the same type special material]

Holy moly! Struck it rich!!!

Seeing the icon, Jiang Yuan hadn’t yet reacted; he instinctively clicked to view details, realizing then that he’d drawn such astonishing rewards — not only could he upgrade buildings to level six, but perhaps even gather materials for upgrading the World Tree!

Today is indeed a fortunate day...

Hit by sudden joy, he was dizzy, not bothering to deal with Lin Shuo trying to curry favor; he hurriedly exchanged a couple of pleasantries before taking his leave.

I must rush home to complete the main quest tasks, farewell!

Jiang Yuan used the teleportation scroll to return home and madly proceeded with infrastructure development.

In Tingtai Garden, Yun Mo was uncertain, pondering what to do about Eagle Fifty-Third? Would handling matters with human cultivators be challenging?

Hu Zhile saw him restless and uneasy, smiled softly, and beckoned with delicate hands, "Come, I have a suggestion for you."

"Please guide us, Senior Hu!" Yun Mo knew she was extremely insightful, and her willingness to help was immensely welcome!

"Actually, this matter isn’t that tough if you wish to resolve it; easy or difficult depends." Hu Zhile glanced at Eagle Fifty-Third and lowered her voice, "Judging by Venerable Family’s actions, he immediately cut off the restraint, fed an elixir, and hastily summoned you to meet. This shows Venerable Family truly cares for your concerns, constantly thinking of you.

The problem is your subordinate was captured by a human cultivator; under wilderness norms, it’s survival of the fittest. Getting caught means you have to accept it, whoever is stronger is right.

Now the crucial point is his identity. Even if Venerable Family deals with the human cultivators today, what’s his future?

With his status, should he follow back to the courtyard? Seems unfit; yet after finally reuniting, it’s hard to leave him behind..."

Yun Mo continuously nodded in agreement with force, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, stressing about what to do!

"So, I was pondering, Venerable Family indeed doesn’t need such a low-strength mount. There’s no suitable place for him in the courtyard. Why not discuss with him and have him recognize Xiao Chuan as master, thus rightly returning home as a mount?"

Hu Zhile pointed to Wan Mingchuan, seriously cultivating in the room, charmingly said, "I noticed his subordinate hasn’t found a suitable cultivation technique, don’t you need to seek Venerable Family’s assistance?

You seeking help is one thing; Xiao Chuan seeking help for the mount is another. Also, our Xiao Chuan is Venerable Family’s direct disciple; serving as a mount wouldn’t diminish status!

Once he’s recognized as master, handling human cultivators will be far easier. The mount of a beloved disciple was captured and heavily injured by them; we remain broad-hearted by not retaliating, they dare babble about it?"

Yun Mo’s eyes lit up hearing this, indeed!

Xiao Chuan’s current low strength surely wouldn’t disdain Eagle Fifty-Third; as he grows, there’s merit aplenty.

Moreover, neither Senior nor Wan Mingchuan are stingy, following them definitely won’t suffer grievances.

"Thank you, Senior Hu, for your wisdom!" He hurriedly thanked her, then sought his subordinate for discussion.

Eagle Fifty-Third, only since arriving at Tingtai Garden, realized how profoundly skilled Mr. Jiang was!

Those respectful and courteous followers were all Great Demon seniors! Even their King’s realm couldn’t compare; securing a position as a mount relied entirely on Mr. Jiang’s kind nature, considering past acquaintance.

Even so, Mr. Jiang was kind enough to find a suitable cultivation technique for their King, who smoothly advanced in realm!

The more details their King explained, the more envious and disheartened Eagle Fifty-Third became, never achieved Foundation Establishment and can’t transform, how could one be useful to the courtyard?

Could hardly beholden to their King’s sustenance!

While worrying about the future, the King suddenly mentioned recognizing Mr. Jiang’s disciple as master. Though the position becomes the lowest in the courtyard, at least there’s a link formed.

Moreover, the King is a mount for Mr. Jiang; as a subordinate, serving Mr. Jiang’s disciple, is entirely fitting!

"That’s great, but..." Eagle Fifty-Third hesitantly asked, "My realm is too low, would they be willing to take a flying mount that’s hardly helpful?"

Yun Mo was relieved that he understood; fearing a misguided pride, deeming oneself a demon cultivator wouldn’t lower oneself to serve as a human’s mount, then it would be hard!

"Don’t worry, you have me." He caressed his wing, softly said, "I have a good relationship with Xiao Chuan, I will personally negotiate; you’ll discover the benefits of staying at the courtyard in time!"

He hurriedly went inside to be the spokesperson.

Upon hearing he could also have a mighty Ice-winged Eagle as a mount, able to fly whenever he wished, Wan Mingchuan was overjoyed, "Great! I’ve always envied Master summoning you for journeys!"

If he’s willing to be loyal to me as master, say no more, at least half the cultivation resources Master grants me can be shared with him!

Moreover, he hasn’t reached Foundation Establishment despite years of cultivation, likely unsuited to Ice Element Technique like Brother Mo, I can teach him the Heaven-Burning Scripture.

If it’s still unfit, Dragon Brother’s Water Element Technique, Sister Hu’s Earth Element Technique, I can find a way to exchange them for him to try. If no suitable found, I’ll seek Master’s help to keep an eye on it!"

That’s a flying mount, a demon cultivator as my mount!
