Chapter 1619: Chapter 1125: Light Curse_2

Sure! Here’s the translation of the provided text:

Jiang Yuan couldn’t wait and immediately summoned several avatars to help, determined to clean up the large tree pit at the fastest speed and plant the Tree of Time.

The celebration feast began over at the small courtyard, and he could only show his face briefly to toast Sister Hai Shen, then hurried back to the Fuyun Space to pioneer.

Seeing that the Tree of Time could be planted, with a chance to see what the Tree of Life looks like and to explore a larger and more wondrous new world, how could he have time to care about this and that?

[Do you want to plant the Tree of Time root?]

Of course, choose "yes"! Jiang Yuan immediately clicked to select, and that ugly, wrinkled, fist-sized unremarkable "clod" drilled into the large tree pit and disappeared.

[Side quest: Tree of Time]

[Task 1: Find a suitable location to plant the Tree of Time, completed. Reward: Accelerator special fuel +1 issued]

[Task 2: Take care of the Tree of Time until it reaches Level One. Reward: Random Time Treasure +1]

[Time Treasure: During the long War of Gods and Demons, the destroyed Tree of Time’s trunk, bark, and branches drifted everywhere, and were fortuitously acquired by cultivators to refine into various magical treasures. Over time, many treasures became ownerless items, and completing the task can randomly obtain them]

Not bad, not bad, randomly opening a blind box is much more convenient than refining it yourself, having to find blueprints and other refining materials, just take it and use it!

He couldn’t wait to find the special fertilizer for the Tree of Time he got last time from the Storage Bag and clicked to use it.

With a bag of fertilizer down, some colorful light spots merged into the soil. The empty center of the tree pit suddenly moved, and then "biu", a small tender sprout shot out!

The yellow-green sprout was pitifully small, and there was only a single small round leaf, which could easily be trampled to death by accident.

"This is quite pathetic, I need to quickly build some fences around it, should I put up a shed?" Jiang Yuan looked up at the protective cover of the Third Level Home, though better than Level Two, if blood rain or evil wind came again, other things could be repaired, but if the Tree of Time seedling was destroyed, it would be a problem.

Returning to the small courtyard, he clinked and clanked at the workbench to make some fences, and took some silkworm gloss brocade produced by the Textile Workshop. He went to the Fuyun Space to enclose the large tree pit and cover it with the silkworm gloss brocade, whether it would be effective was uncertain, but at least it felt safer in his heart.

The next special fertilizer bag, he would have to wait for the three-day cooldown period to end before using it.

He didn’t know how many bags of fertilizer it would take for it to grow enough branches so he could take a branch of the Tree of Time to do the Tree of Life task.

The courtyard leveled up by one, and the rewards were quite a few goodies.

First, it directly purified the source of pollution around Fuyun Mountain. Jiang Yuan didn’t do it himself and didn’t know the process, now the entire mountain and the surrounding area were covered in a faint glow, separated from the outside polluted area.

In the purified mountains, the air was fresher, the flowers, plants, and trees were alive again.

Although there were no birds singing, at least the trees were green, aesthetically pleasing, without the terrifying look of the Netherworld; the sky was clearer than before, without a specific reminder, nobody would think this was the Netherworld.

The ghosts and monsters in the mountains were completely purified, the trees could still be cut, minerals could still be mined, equivalent to the native minerals could still be extracted. If materials were needed from defeating monsters, one would have to go to the newly issued Second Area Map to fight monsters.

The Second Area still unfolded around the Fuyun Mountain, the further out, the larger the area displayed, besides the previously seen Insect Ghosts, Wandering Ghosts, Fried Ghosts, etc., further out there were new monsters like Hanged Ghosts and Water Ghosts that could be faced.

In the northwest corner, there was a black circle marked: Source of Pollution, Dangerous.

Jiang Yuan thought he should find some time to see what a source of pollution looked like. But right now, there was something more important that needed priority handling—the exclusive Yellow Springs Array awarded by the task needed to be set up first.

Teleporting to the front gate of the Meng Mansion, the Yellow Springs rushed and roared as always.

He opened the Storage Bag to take out the set of folded paper-like array, at one glance, the Yellow Springs pouring down from above was immediately divided into countless parts within the sight. Occupying three rows and six grids, with green squares like buildings, indicating the array could be placed.

"Gosh, the Yellow Springs is so big, how many sets of arrays do I need?" He didn’t quite understand what this exclusive array was used for, the detailed explanation only said it could be placed above the Yellow Springs, and then nothing more.

With a try-and-see mentality, Jiang Yuan chose the farthest upper left corner, clicking to place.

"Snap!"

The paper package opened itself up and flew up, directly "sticking" to the inverted Yellow Springs. Then as the array operated, the water surface flowing through that area presented faint array runes, very much like the modern world’s stores projecting advertisements on the road.

[First Level Yellow Springs Array: Can purify Yellow Springs Water flowing through the array area. Please collect materials for array upgrades, once fully upgraded, the Yellow Springs Water will temporarily eliminate pollution, subsequently, the Nai River Water will also return to normal. The Yellow Springs Ferry can then carry the deceased souls to the Underworld]

Jiang Yuan: !!!

The reward for constructing a Fourth Level Courtyard was the Reincarnation Well blueprint, and surely it should be built by then. The Soul-Guiding Lamp can guide the departed souls; now that Meng Po’s mansion is repaired...

He meticulously organized his thoughts, the Yellow Springs Ferry can take the souls from the mundane world to the Nai River, selling Meng Po Soup by the riverbank, drinking it and then following the Soul-Guiding Lamp to the Reincarnation Well.

So, I don’t need a single soldier to build a complete reincarnation assembly line?

If everything ran like this, it seems the Underworld might not need the Yin Messengers and Ghost Messengers of Fengdu City after all, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan looked up again at the seemingly boundless Yellow Springs.

In the past, the Underworld managed reincarnation, and it was indeed fine for all the souls of every world to traverse the Yellow Springs and Naihe Bridge, but now he had merely about a hundred Yellow Springs Ferries, how could it ever be enough?

Surely there will be more tasks issued to create more ferries in the future, better to strike while the iron is hot, and ensure the Treasure Forging Workshop doesn’t stop production!

Clicking to view the array upgrade, he sighed, "Accumulate materials, there’s no other way."

But fortunately, Fuyun Mountain and the surrounding area had been purified, and all the small courtyard members could be brought over to help gather basic materials.

The remaining tasks would require Yun Ying and Leng Yutang to add more efforts, restoring more Puppet Beasts to send to Lotus Peak for mining, which could also save a lot of basic materials.

"Sir! We’ve repaired those two Human-shaped Puppets!" At this point, Yun Ying excitedly messaged, "Please spare some time to review them, if there are no issues, they can be used by the cultivators in the Dream City!"

No wonder today’s fortune shows great luck and prosperity, it turned out everything was good news!

Rushing back to the small courtyard, he saw a group of cultivators surrounding a male and female puppet, praising them.

"Miss Yun Ying is really amazing, she managed to restore the damaged items perfectly!"

"Speaking of which, puppets are quite miraculous, they don’t get tired, don’t feel pain, and don’t need to eat or sleep. If you don’t like the face, you can ask Miss Yun Ying to replace it, if an arm or leg is broken, it can be replaced with a new one, it’s really fun."

"I think puppets are like refined magical treasures, the sealed soul within is like an Artifact Spirit."

"Unfortunately, they don’t have Spirit Roots to cultivate..."

"Hey! What are you saying? Puppets have their advantages, they don’t have lifespan limitations..."

...

Worried someone might speak carelessly and touch on Yun Ying and Yun Shu’s sensitive topics, Hu Zhile smiled and interjected, "Sir is back, come quickly and have a look at Sister Yun Ying and Daoist Leng’s collaboration outcome, it’s simply perfect!"

[Repaired Puppet: Product of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, all high-quality materials, can seal souls for use]

Jiang Yuan immediately noticed the identification details of those two puppets and nodded, "No problem, the restoration is very well done. City Lord Yan and Cheng Xiaoyi’s souls can separate from the Dream City, getting one step closer to finding the Puppet’s Heart, you can absorb spiritual energy and cultivate like cultivators, it’s just around the corner!"

"Great!" Yun Shu excitedly hugged Yun Ying’s arm, "Thanks to you, otherwise I could never regain the ability to cultivate. Good sister, you are the most amazing!"

Yun Ying was also very excited, but she remained calm, knowing that even if a semi-finished Puppet’s Heart is found, it would take a lot of time and resources to deduce and complete it. She just patted Yun Shu’s arm, softly saying, "We finally took the first step, no matter how difficult, we won’t give up, we’re sure to install the Puppet’s Heart and restart our cultivation."

"Let’s go, using these two puppets to fetch City Lord Yan and Cheng Xiaoyi."
