Arrogant White Goose, Soft Bone Rabbit Breeding Base, Elder Yi's World-Shaking Wisdom

Looking at the proud white goose before him, Jiang Ci'an chuckled softly and nodded.

"With Mr. Niu's sponsorship, things have indeed become much more convenient for me."

He paused, the smile in his golden eyes fading slightly as he turned to look earnestly into the young girl's eyes.

"You really helped a lot this time. Thank you."

"..."

For some reason, Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat.

Her hand, hanging behind her back, unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt. Her gaze drifted away, glancing at the window lattice beside her, then at the floor by her feet, simply not daring to meet Jiang Ci'an's eyes.

But soon, she gave a light cough, shifted her gaze back, and lifted her head slightly, resuming her usual young mistress posture.

"As long as you know it. Just remember my kindness; make sure you keep me well-supplied with my cultivation supplements from now on."

Jiang Ci'an blinked.

He looked at the white goose before him, who had inexplicably become a bit tsundere again, and nodded with a smile.

"Mn, I certainly won't treat Miss Dong'er poorly."

Wang Dong'er paused. She didn't respond, only lowered her eyes to stare at the unremarkable floorboards in front of her toes.

Damn it, why does it feel like something is wrong?

Wang Dong'er fell into deep thought.

A moment later, after watching Wang Dong'er scurry away toward the backyard to find Xiao Xiao under the pretext of cultivation, Jiang Ci'an smiled and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Turning to tuck away the thick stack of transfer documents, Jiang Ci'an looked at the Gold Soul Coin Card, which carried several zeros, and his expression relaxed involuntarily.

With the help of the Clear Sky Sect, many things would indeed be much easier.

Especially with this large injection of capital, the number of things he could accomplish had suddenly increased.

Plans and projects that had been shelved due to budget constraints could now be picked up once again.

Not lingering in the pharmacy, Jiang Ci'an withdrew a portion of the funds, brought it with him, and had someone prepare a carriage.

Boarding the carriage, he left Shrek City and headed east.

This time, he wasn't going to the herb cultivation base outside the city, but to another location.

The carriage traveled along the main road for about half an hour. The scenery shifted from the city outskirts to an open plain, and soon, a series of bases covering a significant area came into view.

This was the Soft Bone Rabbit Breeding Base.

The carriage came to a halt, and Jiang Ci'an stepped out.

The manager, having received word in advance, was already waiting at the entrance. Seeing him appear, he hurried over with just the right amount of respect.

"Boss."

Jiang Ci'an nodded slightly, gave a brief reply, and handed the prepared Gold Soul Coin Card to the manager.

"According to what I finalized earlier, start expanding the breeding scale of the Soft Bone Rabbits immediately."

"Remember, I only want ten-year-level Soft Bone Rabbits capable of producing soul rings. I don't want any others. Do you understand?"

The manager took the Gold Soul Coin Card with both hands. He didn't ask any questions, simply nodding decisively.

"Understood, Boss."

As a veteran of this base, he knew his young boss's style very well.

As long as he followed instructions and got the job done beautifully, there would be no shortage of rewards.

He was very eager to advance his career!

Bowing respectfully to Jiang Ci'an to take his leave, the manager retreated and hurried off to arrange the expansion.

Jiang Ci'an didn't stop, continuing to walk deeper into the base.

Passing through rows of neat rabbit hutches and bypassing several feed storage warehouses, Jiang Ci'an soon arrived in front of a row of buildings at the very back of the base.

This was a row of independent bungalows, separated from the hutches and warehouses by a wall, appearing exceptionally quiet.

Jiang Ci'an pushed the door open and entered, revealing a laboratory.

The entire lab wasn't large, only about thirty or forty square meters, yet the surrounding walls were made of a special alloy. It was sturdy and soundproof, clearly worth a fortune.

Judging by this alone, the laboratory was high-end and professional.

However, inside the lab, the variety of experimental equipment was pitifully sparse.

Aside from a metal workbench and some basic facilities, there were only cages upon cages of numerous Soft Bone Rabbits neatly arranged in the corners of the room.

Each one had snow-white fur and was significantly larger than the average edible Soft Bone Rabbit, clearly being ten-year-level specimens capable of producing soul rings.

He closed the door, sealing off the inside of the lab from the outside.

Jiang Ci'an's Eye of Life naturally revealed itself between his brows, and immediately, a gray figure manifested and drifted to his side.

Jiang Ci'an looked at Electrolux and spoke naturally, "Elder Yi, as usual."

"Mm."

Electrolux nodded slightly, raised his hand to precisely open a rabbit cage in the corner of the laboratory, and grabbed a Soft Bone Rabbit.

With a slight exertion of force and a twist of the neck, a crisp "crack" echoed out. The Soft Bone Rabbit's head lolled to the side, and a ring of pearly white light slowly emerged.

Electrolux began to process it with practiced ease.

In the span of a single breath, the Soft Bone Rabbit's soul, flesh, and bones were completely separated, then tossed into the Undead Demi-plane to serve as materials for necromancy.

All that remained in his hand was that ten-year soul ring.

Electrolux held the soul ring, the faint white light reflected in his golden eyes. His divine sense settled upon the ring, and he began to tirelessly analyze its energy structure and internal composition, inch by inch.

Jiang Ci'an did not disturb him.

Unlike himself, who could sacrifice Xiao Wu infinitely in the Virtual World to obtain materials, Elder Yi could only conduct his research in reality.

Although he could share all the data he observed in the Virtual World with Elder Yi to accelerate the research progress, data and personal experience were two different things after all; some things could only be truly understood after witnessing and touching them firsthand.

It was precisely for this reason that his Soft Bone Rabbit Breeding Base came in handy.

The soul ring produced after the death of a ten-year Soft Bone Rabbit, while low in quality and sparse in energy, was sufficient for studying the basic structure of soul rings.

While there was a world of difference in energy levels between a ten-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, they followed the same set of rules at the structural level.

The sparrow may be small, but it has all the vital organs.

According to Elder Yi, he had already figured out a few things and was beginning to see the way forward regarding the "self-condensing soul rings" and "self-editing soul rings" he desired.

One could only say, this was the world-shaking wisdom of Elder Yi!

However, he could not afford to fall too far behind either...

Thinking this, Jiang Ci'an took a meditation cushion from his storage Soul Tool and sat down cross-legged.

Following that, he took out several bottles of supplements specifically formulated for his current stage and downed them in one go.

Feeling the warm medicinal power disperse throughout his body, the "Body Tempering Method" began to circulate on its own, nourishing his meridians and flesh. Confirming that his cultivation speed would not slow down due to entering the Virtual World, Jiang Ci'an slowly closed his eyes.

The familiar sensation of falling washed over him once again.
