Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 216: Chapter 145: Nascent Soul Technique Acquired

Foundation Establishment Pill, Two-striped Foundation Establishment Pill, and three of them!

“This…”

Ji Yuan originally thought two pills would be considered generous, or perhaps just one. After all, Foundation Establishment Pills are rare; yet now Li Changhe had given him three at once!

And they were all two-striped.

This gesture truly left Ji Yuan a bit astounded.

“Our family’s stock isn’t much, and just recently, two clan members from our Li Family successfully established their foundation, exchanging quite a number of Foundation Establishment Pills. Now only these three remain. If you’re not in a hurry, wait a bit, and I’ll see if I can get some more for you.”

Li Changhe sat relaxed, as if procuring several Foundation Establishment Pills was as simple as buying a few Magical Artifacts.

But looking at how he pets the Tier Three Demon Beast cub, Ji Yuan feels it might really be that easy for him…

“With these three, I am already deeply grateful.”

Ji Yuan had originally planned to wait another two years, until the Spirit Field produced two more millennium Illusion Spirit Grass, before pursuing Foundation Establishment. But with these three pills now, the timeline could be shortened by a year.

No, now it’s down to just a few months.

Estimating around the time when the Nine Nether Cave Heaven opens, the Spirit Field should produce one more millennium Illusion Spirit Grass.

With the three already in hand, totaling four millennium Illusion Spirit Grass, refining four batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, even one batch yielding three pills should suffice for his Foundation Establishment success.

“Three pills are enough?”

Li Changhe leaned forward upon hearing this, looking at Ji Yuan earnestly and slowly saying, “Are you also thinking of going to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven?”

After speaking, he seemed to remember something, leaning back with a sigh.

“Indeed, without going to the Secret Realm, where would you get millennium Illusion Spirit Grass for Foundation Establishment with a Pseudo Spirit Root.”

Ji Yuan sensed there was more to his words and asked, “Brother Li… is there something you’re trying to say?”

“Don’t go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven. At worst, wait another ten years, and by then, I should be able to get you more Foundation Establishment Pills. With ten pills, you could attempt Foundation Establishment.”

Li Changhe leaned against the chair, gazing at the ceiling as he spoke plainly:

“The Nine Nether Cave Heaven opens every eighty to ninety years. Do you know the nature of those who gain anything each time they enter?”

“I don’t know.”

“They are people like Feng Yichen, beings who can rival Foundation Establishment while still in Qi Cultivation. If you reach the peak of Qi Refining and can’t defeat early Foundation Establishment, then don’t consider going to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven; those who go are usually cannon fodder.”

Li Changhe shook his head.

“You are still young, not even thirty, there’s no rush for Foundation Establishment. Wait for me to get more Foundation Establishment Pills for you.”

“Better not go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven.”

Ji Yuan felt somewhat grateful hearing this; Li Changhe truly looked out for him.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan himself had no plans to go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven.

“Brother Li, is it really so dangerous inside?”

“Very dangerous. Those you meet inside are mostly enemies, even fellow disciples can’t be trusted, and there are countless Demon Beasts… though not Tier Two Demon Beasts, the swarms of Tier One encountered almost always spell death.”

“Furthermore, places where millennium Illusion Spirit Grass grows are perilous grounds, entering them is a near-death experience.”

“And most importantly, you can’t use Flying Magical Artifacts inside, nor control the sky, robbing us cultivators of our greatest advantage.”

Li Changhe said while casually summoning a cup of tea with a gesture, sipping a bit.

“Take my advice; the water in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven is too deep for one so young like you to navigate.”

Ji Yuan pondered Li Changhe’s words for a while before nodding, “Alright, I’ll follow Brother Li’s advice.”

“Yes, just focus on your cultivation.”

Li Changhe said, setting down the teacup, then stood up and patted Ji Yuan’s shoulder, “This matter is settled. I have to accompany my father to the Sword Ruins. The six sects will gather to discuss the opening of the Nine Nether Cave Heaven, so I won’t be in the sect during this time until it opens.”

“I have instructed my third uncle about your affairs, so if you encounter anything, send me a message, and he will handle it for you.”

“Alright.”

Ji Yuan stood up as well, “It’s dangerous outside; be careful, Brother Li.”

“Haha, a Golden Core is traveling; don’t worry.”

“I’m off.”

After speaking, Li Changhe transformed into escape light, left through the window, and was gone, leaving behind the token from Clear Water Teahouse he had given to Ji Yuan.

For these Second Generation Immortals, needing a token to come to such a place might be an insult.

His face was his pass here.

Ji Yuan drank the tea in one gulp and, following the principle of not leaving anything behind, collected all the fruits on the table before leaving through the main entrance.

After leaving All Things Island, Ji Yuan first returned to Chulong Island.

Unexpectedly, his home, which was a ruin yesterday, has been restored!

Everything looked brand new.

The efficiency of the Water Dragon Sect is truly astonishing.

Additionally, a disciple from Chulong Hall was waiting at his doorstep, conducting a handover ceremony, explaining the house’s condition in detail, and instructed him to contact them if further issues arose.

After the disciple left, Ji Yuan went inside.

The two collapsed peach trees had been replanted, perhaps watered with some Spirit Water, making them look lush and vigorous, showing no signs of damage.
