Free Web NovelChapter 1268: Chapter 965: Level Ten Homestead, Complete!_2
Given that they are part of the pioneer army, ninety percent of the records involve chopping down trees and cutting grass. The handwritten intelligence from the old master stands out among the historical records.
As long as Jiang Yuan glances at it in his spare time, he can find out when it was written and what it specifically contains.
Therefore, when He Xun received tools and joined the pioneering work in the replica; Jiang Yuan, located at Immortal Peak, already knew the latest intelligence: He Xun loves to show off and make friends, drawing people in. He had long boasted about today’s realm upgrade.
His friends specially set up a banquet at the Tian Fu Restaurant in Lion Hill Market, nearly forty close friends and family members over six tables, waiting for him to complete his tribulation crossing and join the feast!
"There might very well be Evil Cultivators from the Leisure Sect among them, but the problem is He Xun is already dead. Once they discover the protagonist of their celebration is on the Merit Leaderboard as deceased, will they still celebrate?" Jiang Yuan noted silently. Anyway, once he’s done laying in wait here, it won’t hurt to swing by the market and have a look, whether he gets results or not.
Very soon, another Evil Cultivator who successfully crossed the tribulation flew over, feeling refreshed.
In the path of cultivation, the most critical step is Thunder Tribulation Crossing, as it directly affects one’s strength. Once completed, the mood naturally soars, lowering vigilance considerably.
"Congratulations on successfully crossing the tribulation, fellow Daoist, ascending to new heights!" Jiang Yuan approached with small talk to offer congratulations. The other party, unsuspecting, smiled gleefully in return, only to be grabbed and refined in an instant, thrown into the replica.
Once Jiang Yuan discovered the varied speeds at which individual Evil Cultivators crossed their tribulations, he was finally relieved. He stood in the large square at the entrance, acting as an NPC exploiting bugs.
When encountering ungrateful characters, Jiang Yuan would either toss over a Chaotic Heaven Bell or use the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower to capture them, and they would comply quickly.

Hard work pays off, after busying himself for over half an hour, Jiang Yuan finally received the much-coveted Building Upgrade Card!
During the wait time, Jiang Yuan opened the Courtyard Communicator, clicked on the buildings, and upgraded them using the items.

After the major storyline quest finally progressed using the item card, a flood of system messages scrolled through Jiang Yuan’s view.
"This is what they call ’Heavenly Dao rewards the diligent’, completing it ahead of time and getting the rewards before the system even issues the task feels fantastic!" He was thoroughly content with himself, efficiently taking down another gleeful Evil Cultivator, then noted he was just 71 Spirit Roots away from completing the task, promptly deciding to use another farming accelerator.
He had amassed plenty of loot from Evil Cultivators recently, anything useless was tossed into the accelerator as fuel—now it was finally of use!
[Farming Acceleration Commencing!]
As the gigantic system prompt sounded, the plants in the winter farmland swiftly grew. The automatic harvester couldn’t stop, flying around collecting from here to there.
Compared, the Spirit Roots in the Cloud Field grew much more slowly; it seemed it would be at least two hours before harvesting.
With nothing better to do, Jiang Yuan slowly flew to a nearby Evil Cultivator struggling with a thunder tribulation, testing if he could break through lightning and the array to directly capture someone from the Tribulation Crossing Platform.
"Crack!"
The Evil Cultivator, gasping and battling fiercely, suddenly saw a figure in a bronze mask amidst the frenzied torrents of lightning pouring down.
He was slightly stunned, thinking how peculiar this person was, unafraid of death to have the nerve to run into a thunderstorm?
"Idiot! Get out of the way, don’t interfere with my tribulation crossing!" Seeing the figure getting closer, the Evil Cultivator, fearing disruptions to the thunder tribulation, swore while fiercely resisting.
But in the next moment, the figure had already broken through the array on the Tribulation Crossing Platform, leaping over!
"What do you want to do?" The Evil Cultivator was shocked, then suddenly everything fell silent, the roar of thunder vanished, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.
He blankly stared at the strange man in the bronze mask, full of question marks. But the other appeared excited, saying nothing, draining his Spiritual Power and life in an instant. Just as everything faded again, and overwhelming heat surged.
"So tearing space can be used like this, ha ha ha!" Enjoying the advantage, Jiang Yuan quickly realized it; the array on the Tribulation Crossing Platform at Immortal Peak was purely for aiding tribulation crossing, with no duty to block space tearing.
Hence, as long as he used Space Technique to reach right beside the opponent, he could directly drag them into the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower to dry them, before handing them over to the old master for interrogation and conversion.
Active harvesting was much faster than passive waiting. Jiang Yuan tore space one by one, taking advantage of their distraction with the thunder tribulation to snatch them away!
In less than half an hour, the once thunderous, Magical Treasure-backed explosion lively Immortal Peak turned quiet and desolate.
With the dark thunderclouds and lightning in the sky having no target, they dissipated under the wind, leaving the vast small space with just him waiting for the light door to open on the square.
Meanwhile, as the Evil Cultivators turned odd from pollution, they vanished from the Leisure Sect Merit Leaderboard, joining the ranks of the deceased list.
"Tsk! Probably underprepared, failing the tribulation then not preserving even their lives, serves them right!"
"Four subordinates already lost just this month’s start, indeed too low a realm is useless even with shortcuts. If only I could recruit some in the Middle Realm, my life as Incense Master would be better."
"Hey? Isn’t He Xun off to cross tribulation? Failed the tribulation and died? No, no, wait, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a Hunting Life Monarch near Immortal Peak! Damn it, must report to the Altar Master, pull out the murderous fiend!"
......
The Evil Cultivators arriving for tribulation belonged to different Incense Masters. Finding their underlings dropping dead, most Incense Masters didn’t think much of it. After all, Fallen Evil Cultivators come with a cost; unlucky ones having their identity exposed and being killed by Righteous Cultivators, it was normal.
Instead, a few unlucky ones missed the warm array protection, immediately reporting to their superiors, spreading the news of the drained array energy.
As soon as they died, the Incense Masters thought it was poor timing, missing array protection, and getting blasted by someone else’s thunder tribulation.
Then the reports went up hierarchy level by level until the news reached certain high-level circles. An hour later, Jiang Yuan’s farming acceleration had ended.

"As expected, I guessed right; you must complete the main task to push the second home construction tasks forward!" Jiang Yuan was already overwhelmed by the rush of news buzzing in his head.
His storage bag stuffed full with rewards, he had to look up historical records to know which task earned what good stuff.
