CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 643: GIVE YOU SOMETHING GOOD

As Jiang Yuan watched the progress bar complete, an achievement reward popped up in his vision.

When his favorability with the little elf You Meng reached a diamond, he was rewarded with 50 points of Life Origin.

After spending 10 points on crafting the Resurrection Talisman, he finally accumulated the achievement reward, pushing the Life Origin balance over 200+. Now he could share some of it with others!

The first thing that came to his mind was gifting 100 points to his contract pet, Little Bai.

After all, Little Bai was an avatar and not the main body. If Bai Yunqi were to be devoured by his main body, he would completely lose such a loyal and dedicated pet.

Giving him some Life Origin would at least ensure the main body wouldn’t easily consume him. Who knows, maybe in the future, as it accumulates more, Bai Yunqi could even reverse the situation and devour the main body instead.

"Yun Shu, how’s it going on your end?" Jiang Yuan asked through the Communication Stone, wanting to know if the world fragments drifting in the void after the fusion of the instance would disappear.

"They’re gone!" Yun Shu sounded a bit panicked, her voice trembling somewhat.

Whether by instinct or from what she heard in Cloud City, she knew this was impossible!

How could this be achieved?

Originally, a world fragment with hundreds of living people was right in front of her. Suddenly, a powerful ball of light completely enveloped it, with light intensifying until she had to squint. In an instant, the huge ball of light compressed inward to a small point of light and then extinguished completely.

Everything was gone!

The most crucial part was that the entire process was swift and silent, without sensing any Spiritual Power fluctuations!

Even if it was a powerful teleportation method or a Space Secret Technique, if it were to cast through herself as a link, there should at least be some noise, right?

"It was like... a big ball of light enveloped the fragment, and with a ’biu,’ it disappeared!" As she said this, she realized the gentleman’s power, becoming unexpectedly thrilled, her voice rising, "Sir! I’ll search farther away now. If we find another bountiful world fragment, won’t you hit the jackpot!"

Jiang Yuan was somewhat of a penny-pincher, so members of the small courtyard, following him, also displayed similar attributes to varying degrees.

After all, the opportunity to ascend was too elusive. Countless cultivators ventured fearlessly in search of immortality, yet only a rare few achieved their wishes.

Finding ways to gather more resources to live comfortably was also vital for cultivators.

Just like living in the modern world, how many people are born with a silver spoon in a wealthy family? And how many can become the richest just by working? Yet you don’t see many people giving up because of this. They strive to make their life’s situation more comfortable.

The small courtyard is the same; having a solid economic foundation opens up many more opportunities for an impressive rise.

Yun Shu and others living under the increasingly rich wings of Jiang Yuan all strive to contribute.

"Make sure to stay safe," Jiang Yuan glanced at the Puppet interface, showing the current power level at 98%, which meant it could last one or two more days without recharging.

If it ran out of power, he could still recall it with a single click, safe and convenient.

And opening the big map, he could see, centered on himself, the approximate location of Yun Shu, so he opened the task list.

[Side Quest: Devourer Heavenly Dog]

[The contract pet Lingdi established a goal for rebirth and is unwilling to be an ordinary demon hound. Please complete the task to assist its smooth elevation into a Devourer Heavenly Dog.]

[Task 1: Follow the instructions to search for the ruins of Lantian Domain in the void. Reward: Life Origin +50]

Clicking to view the deep blue destination, a guiding light shot into the vast void towards the rear-right direction. Jiang Yuan remotely directed, "Yun Shu, fly a bit behind, then a bit to the right... Good, proceed in this direction, and ensure your safety first, then contact me later."

"Understood, sir! I’m heading out now!" Yun Shu floated in her dress, flying in the corrected direction.

Jiang Yuan worried that entering the instance now and then exiting might lose the current drifting world fragments’ location, as there were no abnormal prompts from the Riverfront Village instance. Thus, he decided to wait for the Azure Bird to completely purify and finish fusion before checking the status inside.

The current task completion already reached 90%, and this small void team-building event would soon conclude.

"Little Bai, come here for a moment." He gestured, and the other party hurried over to bow, "Any commands from Venerable Family?"

Jiang Yuan clicked the new gift button appearing next to the Life Origin balance, attempting to enter 100 points but was prompted by the system that at most 40 points could be gifted, suggesting that 200 points were needed as a minimum balance.

"Got something nice for you!" He adjusted the number to 40, selecting Bai Yunqi’s portrait from the popped-up list, and clicked send.

"Buzz!"

An inexplicable whirlwind rose under their feet, enveloping them with sparkling light points and a dense life force.

"Whoa! Such a big commotion?" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, but the whirlwind was so loud it buzzed his head, making him unable to hear his voice.

Bai Yunqi initially was puzzled, not knowing what the Venerable Family meant by "something nice," but then the whirlwind carried a strong life soul aura into his body, infusing through the seven apertures, passing through the Dantian and entire meridians, eventually reaching the heart aperture.

It’s hard to describe this feeling, like finding a sweet spring in a desert, or like a huge void being filled. For the first time, he truly felt the essence of a soul!

He felt a bit floaty while his heart aperture felt heavy. Accompanied by that power infusion, Bai Yunqi, after all this time, for the first time truly felt a fusion between soul and body.
