Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 537: Chapter 250: Severing God Technique [Seeking Monthly Votes]

“Hmm? What treasure, and it’s a set?”

Ji Yuan naturally thought it would be some kind of Spiritual Artifact or something similar, a complete set… like Jiang Hong’s set of Mother and Child Blade at the time, which was extremely powerful.

But after he checked the Storage Bag again, he still didn’t find any set of Spiritual Artifacts.

“It should be packed in a box, and there are two crossed Talismans stuck on the box.”

Ye Zhiqiu recalled.

“A box… Is it this one?”

Ji Yuan searched around and indeed found a box in the corner of the Storage Bag, buried under a pile of miscellaneous items.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Ji Yuan raised a hand and opened it.

Inside was a stone that seemed to be stained with blood, a piece of brown wood emitting a strange fragrance, and a Treasure Pearl glowing with white light.

The three items were arranged side by side in the box, and at a glance, they didn’t seem like ordinary things.

“What is this?”

Ji Yuan first used Artifact Manipulation Technique to take out the stone, and with a slight sense, he confirmed it—this was a… Dragon Blood Stone!

[Fish Pond] upgrade material.

Unfortunately, there’s only one piece.

[Fish Pond] upgrade requires 3 Dragon Blood Stones.

Not to mention the other two things, this single Dragon Blood Stone alone counts as a good treasure.

It is an Immortal Material mutated by Tier Four Serpent Demon Beast Blood, extremely rare among Tier Three Immortal Materials.

Whether for Artifact Refining or Cultivation Technique, it’s a rare treasure.

“You said it’s a set of treasures, what’s its purpose?”

Ji Yuan tossed the Dragon Blood Stone back into the treasure box and turned to ask.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ji Yuan suspiciously, then said, “Young Master Li, do you really not know about the matter of the Tier Three Lightning Storm Serpent?”

“I don’t know, damn it, if I did, I wouldn’t have gone in headfirst back then…”

Ji Yuan said quite speechlessly.

Had that Tier Three Serpent not looked like it was injured, weakened in strength, and not fast… Ji Yuan would have had to use the “Sky Escaping Shuttle” for escape.

Ye Zhiqiu then explained, “That Tier Three Lightning Storm Serpent just laid eggs recently, and its body is slightly weak, so quite a few cultivators near South Sea City have set their sights on it.”

“Even several Golden Core Cultivators are doing the same.”

Ji Yuan looked at the three items in the box, “Wailing Wanderer is one of them?”

“Exactly.”

“But the old rogue knew he was not strong enough and dared not target the Serpent, so he set his sights on the Serpent’s eggs.”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the three items and introduced, “The Dragon Fragrance can attract the Lightning Storm Serpent to leave, leading it to a targeted location, and then the Poison Serpent Pearl can explode, releasing toxins inside to knock out the Lightning Storm Serpent.”

“Lastly, the Dragon Blood Stone is also modified, containing Tier Three entrapment magic inside, so even if the Lightning Storm Serpent awakens early, this trap can contain it for a while.”

“This Wailing Wanderer is quite well-prepared.”

Ji Yuan examined the treasure box and said.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

“To gather these three items, he spent quite a few Spirit Stones and asked for many favors; our actual purpose this time is to see if we can get hold of those Serpent eggs.”

“Someone has already tried, said there are two Serpent eggs in total.”

“The old rogue’s plan is to raise one himself and sell the other.”

“By then, he can earn several thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”

“The plan is quite good.”

Ji Yuan smiled and put the treasure box into the Storage Bag.

“Young Master Li, you could actually give it a try,” Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then gently said, “I heard the old rogue plan many times, all three are Tier Three Immortal Materials, the Tier Three Dragon Fragrance will definitely lure the Serpent away, and the remaining Poison Serpent Pearl and Dragon Blood Stone will definitely work.”

“Even if it doesn’t work, escape is definitely not a problem, and… Young Master Li can also ask the family’s elders to help.”

Ye Zhiqiu felt that even though Ji Yuan comes from a Nascent Soul Family, a Tier Three Lightning Storm Serpent is enough to tempt them.

“Hehe.”

Ji Yuan chuckled and remained non-committal.

Is the Lightning Storm Serpent egg a good thing?

Indeed, it’s a good thing.

Once hatched, it will be a Tier Three Serpent hatchling, successfully contracted, and once it matures, it becomes a true Tier Three Serpent.

But unfortunately, such Tier Three Serpent hatchlings… Ji Yuan already has two.

More, he can’t even manage them.

If there’s another one, it’ll probably have to be sold.

So is there a need to gamble with one’s life for a mere few thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones?

No, there isn’t.

Not to mention Ji Yuan now has tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag, even if not, he would never gamble his life, or provoke a Tier Three Serpent.

How dangerous that would be!

So after hearing Ye Zhiqiu’s story, Ji Yuan already made his decision.

After leaving Ice and Fire Island and returning to South Sea City, take this set of treasures prepared for the Lightning Storm Serpent, and sell it at the auction house!

The next auction is in a year, so there’s plenty of time.

Either way, it’s all about earning Spirit Stones, and rather than battling for Serpent eggs just to sell them, it’s better to sell the treasure first, letting others risk their lives.

“How many Spirit Stones did it take to prepare these things at the time?”

Ji Yuan asked.

Ye Zhiqiu recalled for a moment and then said, “Adding it all up, I estimate it took over three thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, because the materials themselves weren’t cheap, plus he hired a Golden Core Zhenren to help set magic on the Dragon Blood Stone.”
