Chapter 1607: Chapter 1119: Take from the People, Use for the People (Part 2)

[Task 19: Convene the Immortal Ascension Conference and invite the noble families, sects, and loose cultivators on the list. Distribute the exclusive support gift package. Reward: Spirit Field Upgrade Card +2; Mysterious Spirit Field Exclusive Seeds *10 packs]

[Achievement: Lifespan balance surpasses ten million years for the first time! Reward: Universal Celebration Gift Package +1]

[Universal Celebration Gift Package: All bound contract holders each receive a hundred-year lifespan subsidy, already directly issued]

This unexpected late achievement caught Jiang Yuan off guard, but all the members linked on the relationship page felt the blessing from the mysterious laws of the Heavenly Dao!

Everyone could sense the precise information: the blessing of a hundred-year lifespan increase was Mr. Jiang’s gift!

The busy disciples of the Ancient Ten Great Sects in Kunlun Divine Mountain all looked up simultaneously, but they couldn’t see Mr. Jiang’s figure, so they couldn’t even express their gratitude in person and could only silently thank him in their hearts; meanwhile, the chat group in the small courtyard suddenly exploded!

Jiang Yuan didn’t look at the messages that instantly reached 99+; he had already been overwhelmed with gratitude.

The orthodox cultivators selected by the system received such a great benefit, who wouldn’t be grateful? If this news were to spread, having done nothing, yet gaining two hundred years of lifespan just by following Mr. Jiang, wouldn’t that infuriate people?

"Oh, I understand now!" Suddenly inspired, Jiang Yuan asked, "System, you didn’t want to give me the achievement reward earlier, was it because you were afraid I would forget my original intention, be overwhelmed by so much wealth, and become so greedy that I couldn’t bear to share the spoils? If I had accepted the task earlier and acted like a miser, this Universal Celebration wouldn’t have happened, right?"

He paused and then said solemnly, "Whether you believe it or not, in the real world there are too many concerns, but in the wilderness, I want to be a good person without restraint.

Before binding the system, I was an ordinary person with no great ambitions and even uncertain about next month’s living expenses. But I am a university student with the right background, raised under the red flag, who doesn’t have a dream of building a better society?

Rest assured, I won’t be corrupted and fall by material wealth, I will definitely strive to make this ’farming game’ reach a perfect conclusion!"

The sea breeze blew, waves crashing, but his bold words received no response.

Jiang Yuan didn’t continue chatting; bypassing the donation group, there were over twenty thousand storage treasures piled together, left to his discretion; additionally, there was a pile labeled [Hoarding Group], all of which were magical treasures and artifacts that might be useful in the future.

There were over a hundred teleportation scrolls alone, which he decided to equip all the small courtyard members with, to save the trouble of constantly using Teleportation Talismans.

He collected what needed to be collected; the newly acquired accelerator was also fueled sufficiently, so he returned to Fuyun Space, adjusted the settings, and immediately sped up the workshop.

[Mainline Task: Construct Level Three Fuyun Space. Reward: Netherworld Exclusive Barrier-Breaking Pill Formula]

[Task 3: Produce at least ten Ghost-Luring Lamps, distributing them across Fuyun Mountain, completed. Reward: Automatic Sprinkler Blueprint has been issued]

[Task 4: Upgrade all courtyard walls, gates, and buildings to Level Three to enhance overall resistance. Reward: Artifact Refining Gift Package +1]

The workshop’s enhanced speed quickly completed ten Ghost-Luring Lamps, which Jiang Yuan temporarily placed at the entrance, thus completing the task. After claiming the reward, he collected them one by one and arranged them in areas with scattered monster distribution.

In fact, with the ability of a Max Level Lord to slaughter Newbie Villages, a single strike of the Immortal Slaying Sword with Wild Wave Sword Technique could wipe out half a mountain of monsters, making the Ghost-Luring Lamp somewhat redundant.

But since the system provided them, they must have a use. For now, he arranged them this way, and in the future, they could be relocated during territorial expansion to necessary places to lure wandering ghosts.

Fuyun Space was quite different from the previous two courtyards; if not for the task release, Jiang Yuan wouldn’t have known that the courtyard walls and gates could still be upgraded.

Walking over to click and check, indeed, there were gear icons. The materials needed for upgrading walls and gates were also produced in Fuyun Mountain and its surroundings, so he planned to accumulate them slowly and upgrade them one by one.

This task shouldn’t be rushed.

He sent a message to his eldest disciple, Wan Mingchuan, to contact the Celestial Sword Sect to prepare for the new Immortal Ascension Conference—the attendees’ list was already provided by the system.

He selected all, copied, and pasted the list issued on the scroll from the storage bag, and sent it over, with the rest left to await the day to be the Money-Spending Boy.

Jiang Yuan also specifically noticed that the Central State Lin Family was not on the list, presumably because the Patriarch Lin Shuo missed the opportunity during the first resource distribution.

The gifts sent by the system aren’t easy to claim; if you can’t achieve results with one advantage, don’t expect a second advantage.

This time, the scope on the list expanded significantly.

Last time, leveraging the Celestial Sword Sect, resources were distributed to cultivators they could contact, with the scope relatively small; this time the number increased to over a thousand; and with the Celestial Sword Sect migrating to the wilderness, their fame had already spread in the human world, so the second Immortal Ascension Conference was expected to be very lively!

"With the migration speed on the wilderness accelerating continuously, the master must be holding the Immortal Ascension Conference at this time to support small sects and loose cultivators." Wan Mingchuan, upon receiving the message, reviewed the list carefully and found that most of them were sects or noble families he had more or less heard of during his travels.

To better discuss how to hold the Immortal Ascension Conference, he took out a teleportation scroll and headed directly to Snow Cloud Valley.

As the teleportation array’s light settled down, Wan Mingchuan saw familiar faces, "Sister Yun Ying! Brother Leng, what a coincidence, how come you have time to come over?"

"Oh! If we had known you were coming to Snow Cloud Valley today, we would’ve tasked you." Yun Ying turned around, smiling as she explained, "Daoist Leng and I collaborated to repair two Puppet Beasts, with Master’s intention for them to be used for mining Spirit Stone with the Celestial Sword Sect. We heard that you are traveling the human world to find promising talents for the master, so we didn’t want to disturb you and delivered them directly."

Grandfather Ouyang Qing was all smiles, "These two just taught us how to use them, and with these tireless Puppet Beasts, we’ll be even more prosperous. Thank you two for coming all this way, I suggested staying for a meal, but they both declined, Mingchuan, help me persuade them!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but we truly don’t have the time." Leng Yutang waved and smiled, "There are still several Human-shaped Puppets to repair, and the master is eager to use them, so we can’t afford to delay.

Use these two Puppet Beasts for now; when we’re done repairing the Puppets, we’ll arrange for two more. Then we’ll not only stay to eat but also have a celebratory drink with the old master!"

Wan Mingchuan also knew they were busy, with one being a Puppet Master and the other an Artifact Refiner working seamlessly together. They were enjoying repairing and comprehending the many parts and remnants they had brought from the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, so he didn’t insist on keeping them.

After sending off Yun Ying and Leng Yutang, he followed his grandfather into the Vice Sect Leader’s mansion, immediately clarifying the situation regarding the Immortal Ascension Conference and presenting the list as it was.

"Inviting so many people to attend?" Ouyang Qing glanced at it, frowning slightly, "I’ve never heard of most of them; we don’t even know them, and even sending invitations will take quite some time. After all, each must be verified individually, and we can’t risk inviting the wrong people."

"Leave the invitations to me," Wan Mingchuan said confidently, "The list the master gave coincidentally consists of places I’ve passed by during my travels, have seen, or even interacted with. You need to consider why we’re holding the conference, where to host guests, and the specific process for the Immortal Ascension Conference."

With so many people gathered, there must be an explanation.

Otherwise, just sitting there staring at each other won’t accomplish anything. Everyone is a stranger, and there must be a reason for the invitation, making it worth their long journey.

"Let’s choose Mirror Mountain; it’s the old base of the Celestial Sword Sect, the most suitable place. We’ll open all the main halls then, and it’ll be enough." Ouyang Qing pondered, "As for the reason... Mr. Jiang suggested supporting the Human Race Cultivators, and with his generous nature, he probably intends to gift cultivation techniques and spirit stones.

But we can’t state it so bluntly, or we’ll attract those looking to take advantage and cause trouble, bringing unwelcome attention. Instead..."

He turned his gaze to his good grandson, inquiring, "You’ve advanced to a high tier in a short time, why not use that as the pretext for sharing your Dao enlightenment, inviting fellow Daoists to participate?

Firstly, knowing your realm, no one would dare come with the intention to freeload, causing trouble;

Secondly, the world admires strength, and knowing they can hear a High Level Cultivator expound the Dao, they will gladly accept the invitation;

Lastly, and most importantly: by sharing your enlightenment with others, if it’s beneficial, it will also be your merit for teaching the principles of the Dao."
