Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 491: Chapter 234: [Spirit Vein: Level 3]; Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk_3

The upgrade conditions are as difficult as ever.

Upon careful consideration, that long string of zeros is actually not the problem; rather, it is the single Top-grade Spirit Stone and the Thousand-year Spirit Milk and Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk that are particularly challenging.

Top-grade Spirit Stones are not something that even superior Spirit Veins might produce.

Simply put, even some Nascent Soul Cultivators may not possess a single Top-grade Spirit Stone.

Therefore, for Ji Yuan, it’s not necessary to even think about upgrading the Spirit Vein during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At the very least, one should wait until the Golden Core Stage to consider it.

However, as it stands, a Level 3 Spirit Vein is sufficient to sustain his cultivation needs.

Ji Yuan closed the panel, his mood greatly improved, and took out a flask of Heart’s Desire Wine, sipping it as he inspected several other buildings.

Inside were all filled with Spirit Grain and Spirit Wheat by Tu Yue, and it was all last year’s harvest.

This year’s harvest… will probably be coming soon too.

Earlier, when Ji Yuan entered the cave, he swept his Divine Sense over the Spirit Fields on the mountain.

With the Spiritual Soil produced by the Chicken Cage nurturing them, they were lush and green, mixed in with Corpse Puppets working inside.

Either pulling weeds, removing pests, or fertilizing.

Oh yes, speaking of Corpse Puppets.

Ji Yuan suddenly realized that his Storage Bag still contained quite a few corpses.

Some needed to be taken to the Chaotic Burial Mound to recuperate, while the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren’s body was only half intact… Not sure if this counts as a Golden Core Zhenren’s corpse?

If it does, with a bit of luck, let this Celestial Silkworm Zhenren’s body undergo Corpse Transformation into a Corpse Puppet.

Wouldn’t it mean having a Golden Core mid-stage henchman by his side?

The more Ji Yuan thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed.

So after leaving the Cave Mansion, he headed west, straight to the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Along the way, he passed by the Fish Pond, and his Divine Sense scanned it, finding it filled with Spirit Fish, some mutated into Ice Attribute Spirit Fish, but still no new Frost Serpent had been born.

It seems there’s only hope in the two bottles of Serpent essence blood in the Storage Bag.

Stimulate them and see if a new Frost Serpent can be born.

As Ji Yuan reached the west side of Mist Island, it was different. The main buildings here were the Chaotic Burial Mound and the Beehive.

The Chaotic Burial Mound accumulates Yin Energy, permeating the surroundings, so that a faint mist hangs in the dense forest.

The temperature is much lower than in other parts of the island, and even the sky seems slightly dim.

Walking here, Ji Yuan felt as if a ghost might jump out at any moment.

He released his Divine Sense to scan the area, the Corpse Puppets on the slope were already lined up to “twelve,” but aside from Yin Tongzi, there was still no second Foundation Establishment Stage Corpse Puppet.

Some at the Qi Cultivation Stage aren’t much use and can only stay on the island to farm.

Ji Yuan took the injured Yin Tongzi out of the Storage Bag and ordered, “Dig a pit and bury yourself.”

Yin Tongzi obediently complied, even manipulated by Ji Yuan to make sounds from his throat.

“Thank… you.”

Then he began using techniques to dig soil in the dense forest.

“Oh right, dig one more pit and bury this corpse too.”

Ji Yuan then took out Celestial Silkworm Zhenren’s half-intact body. Although there’s only half left, there’s no harm in trying to bury it.

“Remember to dig deep and bury this corpse deeply, be neighbors, and perhaps alleviate the boredom.”

After advising Yin Tongzi, Ji Yuan didn’t bother with them anymore.

Corpse Puppets, they should behave like Corpse Puppets, can’t rely on oneself for everything.

Then Ji Yuan approached the nearby Beehive, and upon entering, he saw swarms of Spirit-Devouring Bees flying towards him.

Accompanied by buzzing sounds, Ji Yuan felt pressure on his chest as if it were about to shatter.

He quickly activated the Bee King here, which finally quieted the Spirit-Devouring Bees, making him feel better. He then scanned it with his Divine Sense…

Previously, Ji Yuan took away sixteen thousand bees, leaving six thousand.

And now?

The Beehive had almost spawned twenty thousand more…

With five Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees remaining.

Ji Yuan released all the Spirit-Devouring Bees from his Spirit Beast Bag at once, suddenly darkening the whole sky.

Thirty-six thousand of Tier One Spirit-Devouring Bees, plus twelve Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees.

And the Bee King, after consuming countless Mid-grade Spirit Stones, its cultivation was already at the late stage Tier Two, like the Big Toad.

If it hadn’t stayed inside the Beehive all the time… otherwise, even the Big Toad would have circled around upon encountering it.

’Not mentioning anything else, just releasing these Spirit-Devouring Bees should be enough to dominate the Foundation Establishment Stage.’

’Like those two troublemakers who came a few days ago, hehe…’

Ji Yuan stayed on the island to cultivate these days and didn’t rush to find Dong Qian, partly due to this.

He wants to see if that “Senior Brother Huang” would go to find Hunting Owl Zhenren, and come to him.

But after these days with no signs, it seems they won’t be coming.

Ji Yuan first maneuvered these Spirit-Devouring Bees to circle above the dense forest a few times, feeling the handling, and letting them familiarize with being controlled.

Then he fed them 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

’Hmm… the old Spirit-Devouring Bees handle well, but the newly birthed ones are quite unfamiliar, need to find time to train them individually, lest they can’t show full potential when facing enemies.’

After inspecting the Beehive, Ji Yuan strolled to the Spirit Fields on the slope.

The crops were thriving, and Ji Yuan patted the shoulders of the Corpse Puppets vividly, urging them to work well.

Then he reached the highest point of the mountain and leaped off.

Accompanied by a loud “bang,” Ji Yuan’s legs plunged deep into the earth.

Doing something long unpracticed, Ji Yuan could only say one word – exhilarating!

Leaping from the mountain summit, he once again returned to the side of the Fish Pond.

Given this, it should be time to test whether the Serpent essence blood can cultivate a new Frost Serpent.
