Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 450: Chapter 222: Ji Yuan Kills a Golden Core!

The most important thing about this “two” is that these two were twins in their previous life, so even in death, they coordinate exceptionally well, making it unbearably difficult for Yin Tongzi.

And these corpse puppets were left by Jiang Hong, something Ji Yuan dared not take.

So they had to be destroyed.

Therefore, he didn’t hold back. Just as he arrived, he drank a second mouthful of Unrivaled Wine and then activated the Blood Marrow Pearl placed on his chest.

With these two combined, Ji Yuan also summoned the flying sword embryo from his dantian.

It was still his second sword, currently the most lethal.

Dragon Luck Flying Sword!

As the sword light flashed, Ji Yuan also commanded Yin Tongzi to shake the Seven Fiends Infant Cry Bell.

Though corpse puppets have no divine souls, when this bell is sounded normally, it still has considerable lethal power.

In an instant, these two mid-stage Foundation Establishment corpse puppets were both killed.

Ji Yuan casually threw out two Tier Two fire talismans, thoughtfully helping them turn to ashes.

Then he used his divine sense to scan Yin Tongzi.

His whole body was covered in wounds, with a slice on his left calf, missing a chunk of good flesh.

If it were any other person, such injuries would have long affected them.

But fortunately, Yin Tongzi is a sensationless corpse puppet, so despite such severe injuries, he was fine.

Hmm… To repair him, he’d have to be sent back to the Chaotic Burial Mound and sleep in a coffin for half a year.

With a thought, Ji Yuan stored Yin Tongzi away again.

“Still can’t get out?”

Ji Yuan turned his head to look at the approaching Dong Qian and asked.

“The lock was set by Celestial Silkworm Zhenren; unless we deal with him, we’re not getting out.”

Dong Qian shook her head slowly, “But people from outside won’t be able to come in either.”

“Can your demon fox kill him?”

“Can’t kill him, can only hold him off at most.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan’s heart moved.

Jiang Hong ran away; should we aim to kill Celestial Silkworm instead?

That would at least partly avenge and recover some of my losses.

After all, having just fought Jiang Hong, apart from not using the Spirit-Devouring Bee and Spiritual Energy Cannon, it was basically an all-out effort.

And the gains?

Aside from some insignificant battle experience, there were none.

But Ji Yuan did use a Talisman Treasure!

He also lost the Low-grade Spiritual Artifact, Mirage Needle. His Black Demon Armor was slightly damaged, and the Inverted Golden Ear Tripod, a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, was corroded.

Someone has to bear these losses.

Moreover, fighting Jiang Hong, Ji Yuan couldn’t control him, so he didn’t dare to bring out the Spiritual Energy Cannon. If it didn’t kill the opponent, it would be wasted.

The opponent would then guard closely, not giving any chance to use it.

Truth be told, back when they were near Stone Mountain, Ji Yuan already had the idea of using the Spiritual Energy Cannon against Celestial Silkworm, the Golden Core Zhenren.

“Do you have a way to forcibly control Celestial Silkworm Zhenren?”

Ji Yuan asked swiftly.

“You, you still want to kill him?!”

Even Dong Qian was a bit stunned by Ji Yuan’s thoughts.

Previously, she could understand attacking Jiang Hong.

Although Young Master Jiang was strong, he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and so was Ji Yuan. There was a chance to fight, and indeed it went that way. Ji Yuan fought fiercely and used all his tricks, and in the end, he won.

But now?

He actually wants to take on Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator taking on a Golden Core?

Is this something a person can do?

Even for Ji Yuan, who is just a mid-stage Foundation Establishment initial cultivator, this is something that even many reincarnated second-generation cultivators wouldn’t dare to do!

Ji Yuan just looked at her, then simply said one word.

“Yes.”

Receiving an affirmative answer from Ji Yuan, Dong Qian didn’t question further and directly said, “Six-Tailed can’t control him, but I have other means… how long do you need?”

“How long can you control him?”

Ji Yuan asked back.

Dong Qian hesitated slightly, as if thinking, and then after less than a moment, she gave an answer.

“Ten breaths.”

Ten breaths should be enough to activate the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

“Let’s go!”

Ji Yuan’s gaze hardened, and with a forceful grip, the six mid-grade Spirit Stones, drained and absorbed, turned into powder and dispersed.

“Kill the Golden Core!”

Though Dong Qian didn’t know where Ji Yuan’s confidence came from, just like Ji Yuan believed in her, she also believed in him.

So when Ji Yuan said to kill the Golden Core, they went.

Ji Yuan guided the flying boat, also retrieving the Frost Serpent, which had a full meal including its Demon Pill.

The corpse of the Red Flame Python still had half left, which Ji Yuan intended to take back to nourish the Big Toad.

After all, it guarded Mist Island for years. Without merits, there were at least hardships, right?

If Ji Yuan had more resources, he would have considered promoting it to the peak of Tier Two.

On passing by the Wei Family, Ji Yuan scanned the area with divine sense, initially hoping to take out Hu Li, but didn’t see him.

The female cultivator, who seemed to be the wife of the Wang Cultivator he fought against, was still alive and was teaming up to attack another mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, but Hu Li was nowhere to be found.

He escaped.

Seeing no immediate trace of him, Ji Yuan knew he had definitely fled.

Just like earlier in Upper River Square and outside Lishui City.

This slippery fellow, if not killed instantly, would always find a way to escape.

’Damn it, looks like if I encounter him again next time, no matter what happens, I must kill him first.’

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Though he himself couldn’t escape, it was no surprise that Hu Li managed to.
