Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 534: Chapter 249: Harvest

High-level warriors, more high-level warriors!

Ji Yuan first glanced at the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, who seemed to have already exerted himself to the limit… His body was shrunken, his complexion was ashen, and even the Sky Net he was holding had become dull and lifeless.

In this state, there’s no need to talk about supporting another Magical Combat between Golden Core Zhenren.

Even facing someone at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, he might be defeated.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, he turned his head to look at the figure landing beside him.

The newcomer was an elderly man dressed in gray cloth, slightly hunched and stooped but not leaning on a cane like the Wailing Wanderer. Instead, his hands were clasped behind his back, which gave him quite a dignified presence.

Of course, it was mainly the moment he previously rode the Escape Light here that made Ji Yuan feel he had great dignity.

At this moment, feeling the boundless aura like the sea from this elder in front of him, Ji Yuan tentatively asked, “May I ask if I have the honor of facing Ice and Fire Elder?”

Immediately, not waiting for the elder’s reply, he proactively said, “Junior’s surname is Li.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Zhiqiu’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t dare to glance at Ji Yuan any longer, instead maintaining a calm expression throughout.

Having traversed the world for many years, and luckily breaking through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment, even obtaining the ancient legacy.

Everyone is a smart person.

No matter if the person in front of her is surnamed Qiu or Li, he’s still her, Ye Zhiqiu’s savior.

In light of this, that’s enough.

“Oh? From the Li Family?”

The Ice and Fire Elder scrutinized Ji Yuan from head to toe.

“That’s right.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan felt reassured in his heart. First, he stored the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, then took out a token from his Storage Bag and respectfully said, “Junior’s surname is Li, given name Changshou.”

“Li Changshou? The name is quite nice.”

The Ice and Fire Elder swept his Divine Sense over the token in Ji Yuan’s hand, confirming his identity.

“Since you’re from the Li Family, you may follow me.”

With that, not waiting for Ji Yuan to speak again, he took Ji Yuan and Ye Zhiqiu, transformed into Escape Light, and returned to the depths of this Ice and Fire Island.

While up in the air, Ji Yuan glanced around.

At the highest point of the Ice and Fire Island naturally was the Flame Flame Volcano situated in the middle of the island.

This volcano occupied nearly half of Ice and Fire Island, with the crater towering into the clouds.

From the crater, one could even see wisps of white smoke drifting out. On a closer look, one could feel the heat waves erupting from within. It was an active volcano.

The entire Ice and Fire Island was a gigantic volcanic island.

Ji Yuan looked at this volcano island as expansive as a continent, inevitably curious about the scene if the Flame Flame Volcano erupted… What would it be like to block out the sky and sun?

With such an impact, an unknown number of miles of surrounding sea might turn into magma.

It might even affect the Cangluo Continent…

No, that’s not right.

The Storm Area around Ice and Fire Island might be there to resist the eruption of the Flame Flame Volcano?

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but consider this because the Storm Area was vast enough, fierce enough. It might truly confine the erupting Flame Flame Volcano within this region.

If that were true, then this Storm Area was likely… artificially created.

It might even be an array.

If it’s an array, a Tier Four Array might not contain it.

Ji Yuan felt that even the Water Dragon Sect’s Sect Protection Array did not possess such power.

It was still somewhat terrifying.

As he pondered for a moment, Ice and Fire Elder suddenly said “We’re here,” and then the three descended straight down.

Ji Yuan felt as if he had passed through a membrane, then what seemed like a dense forested valley transformed into another scene.

The valley connected to the hillside area was a layered complex of palaces, with yellow walls and red tiles. Looking up from where Ji Yuan stood, he found it extraordinarily grand.

Here, he could also see several charmingly dressed maidens holding various exquisite items, bustling about.

’Damn, no wonder Ice and Fire Elder is unwilling to leave this island, living like a local emperor here, who would want to leave?!’

Ji Yuan looked at this palace complex that resembled the Imperial Palace, inevitably having such thoughts.

Moreover, he glanced around and didn’t see a single male, only Female Cultivators.

Their appearances and figures were quite impressive.

Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Ji Yuan discovered his landing spot was a small, square courtyard… A thatched cottage, gray mud walls, with even a hand-cranked water well in the yard.

The kind with a hand-cranked drum… And seeing Ice and Fire Elder stroking his beard and smiling, it seemed like this was truly his home?

“The house is simple, Young Master Li wouldn’t mind, would he?” Ice and Fire Elder asked with a seemingly amused expression.

“How could I dare?” Ji Yuan promptly cupped his hands and saluted, then said, “When I was young, I was also fostered in a relative’s home, and the place I lived was not much different from this, even smaller.”

Ji Yuan spread his hands and smiled.

He was lying but not entirely.

The courtyard he stayed at in Zengtou City wasn’t as large as this one.

“Oh, it seems he’s a bastard son.”

Ice and Fire Elder said with a seemingly amused expression, “Who is Li Gang to you?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan’s face showed a hint of discomfort. Out traveling, does he even have to acknowledge a father?

Thus, he held back for a while and then pressed on, “Li Changhe is my eldest brother.”

Ice and Fire Elder burst into laughter upon hearing this.

As he heard these words, the image of an aristocratic family dispute emerged in his mind. Didn’t he see this bastard son beside him not recognizing his own father, only acknowledging an elder brother?

“Alright, in life one cannot choose one’s birth, but can choose what kind of future they have.”
