Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 424: Chapter 213: The Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Water Dragon Sect

It’s the Blood River capable of condensing the “Blood Slaughter Sword”.

The others are further away.

In the following period, apart from refining artifacts on Wuyou Island, Ji Yuan returned to Mist Island to comprehend and cultivate the “Sword Manual”, striving to gain enlightenment early and condense the next sword embryo.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ji Yuan was originally on Mist Island comprehending the “Sword Manual” when he suddenly received a transmission from Dong Qian, stating that Han Feiyu had completed his punishment and been released.

She asked if Ji Yuan wanted to go and see him.

Thinking that they were acquaintances, regardless of Han Feiyu’s choices in the future, Ji Yuan would always support him in his heart, so after some consideration, he decided to visit.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t dare, afraid of unnecessary troubles.

But Ji Yuan wasn’t afraid; they were from the same hometown and had Hua Yaoyue behind him, so he wasn’t worried about idle gossip.

Half a day later, Ji Yuan returned to Wuyou Island.

After reuniting with Dong Qian and Du Wanyi, the three of them went together to Han Feiyu’s Luo Hun Island…

“Why, are you here to laugh at me too?”

Han Feiyu glanced at the three approaching, with a self-deprecating smile, before continuing to swallow the elixirs, healing his injuries.

“Brother Han, you…”

Dong Qian looked at Han Feiyu, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and felt a bit unfamiliar.

Du Wanyi had the same reaction; she still remembered the last time she returned from Yulan City, how Han Feiyu was so spirited, gifting her a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact as a gesture.

But now?

Pale and weak, with a hint of death aura all over.

To put it harshly, he looked more like a dead man than a living one.

“Brother Han, what are your plans next?” Du Wanyi asked.

“Plans?” Han Feiyu seemed to not have considered this question and was a bit surprised, “What plans can I have? The sect wants me to kill the Demon Cultivator. What else can I do if I don’t go kill him?”

Seeming somewhat self-destructive… Ji Yuan didn’t ask further, only saying: “Feng Yichen is determined to come back for revenge against you. Now that he’s let you go, things might not be so simple. Be careful when you leave the sect.”

Han Feiyu, hearing this, looked at Ji Yuan a bit longer.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

A trace of elusive gloom flashed in Han Feiyu’s eyes before he shook his head and said, “You don’t understand.”

“Ji Yuan, your luck is better than mine, and your fate is better too.”

Han Feiyu shook his head and sighed deeply.

He stopped cultivating and got up from the ground, “Alright, the sect only gave me three days to pack up, and I’ll have to leave soon. I won’t see you off.”

“Alright.”

Dong Qian nodded slightly.

“Then we’ll leave first, Brother Han, take care. If you need any help, just contact us.”

Seeing an old friend fall to such a state, Du Wanyi’s face looked troubled too.

After all, killing fellow disciples in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven… To be honest, that’s not really a big deal; nine out of ten people who come out alive have done it.

It’s just that Han Feiyu’s luck was bad, and he got caught.

“Brother Han, take care.”

Ji Yuan clasped his fists at him before turning to leave.

But as he walked to the door, his steps paused briefly, and then he summoned the Flying Boat and departed.

After the Flying Boat ascended, Dong Qian transmitted a message to Ji Yuan, “Junior Brother Ji, did Brother Han say something to you?”

“He mentioned a small matter, nothing to worry about.”

Ji Yuan answered this way, and Dong Qian didn’t ask further.

What did Han Feiyu say to Ji Yuan in the end?

He warned Ji Yuan to be careful of someone… the Isle Master of Cloud Mist.

He didn’t explain why, just cautioned Ji Yuan to stay wary and not to reveal this to anyone.

The Isle Master of Cloud Mist… ever since Ji Yuan ignored their last contact attempt, she hadn’t sought him out again.

Of course, it’s more likely because Ji Yuan had left the Water Dragon Sect and gone to Coastal City, thus not receiving her transmissions, so no matter how many she sent, they remained unanswered.

But why be cautious of her?

’Wasn’t she trying to be friends with me before, and even asked Han Feiyu to send transmissions to me? Could it be that she has another agenda… trying to kill me?’

Ji Yuan couldn’t figure it out.

Next time he encounters her, he’ll just stay away.

Several leisurely months passed, and with his strong understanding, plus some help from the Enlightenment Room, Ji Yuan finally comprehended a small part of the “Sword Manual” again, enough to condense the next sword embryo.

He also refined his first Spiritual Artifact.

Though it’s a low-grade Spiritual Artifact resembling a steel rod, it’s still worthy of becoming a Tier Two Artifact Refiner.

It’s enough to proceed with the next upgrade of the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

With the art of artifact refining mastered, Ji Yuan naturally prepared to first upgrade the Spiritual Energy Cannon to level 2, and after gaining this powerful means, head north to condense the sword embryo.
