Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 566: Chapter 258: Tu Yue’s Foundation Establishment

He continued north with his flying boat, and soon passed through the Water Dragon Sect’s Sect Protection Array and saw Wuyou Island.

He immediately released his Divine Sense for a sweep, checking out the surrounding islands. There was no one on Hu Yue Island… Senior Sister Dong had gone somewhere unknown, but she must have been assigned a task by the sect.

Given her nature, she definitely wouldn’t head to Shang Mountain.

What Ji Yuan didn’t expect, however, was that Du Wanyi had finally returned!

Should he go and see her?

He definitely should, but not now. Ji Yuan needed to leisurely finish his own matters first. Then, he descended from the clouds, turning into a white light that swiftly vanished into the depths of Wuyou Island.

Today, Wuyou Island was much like the former Mist Island, and even more prosperous due to the growing number of buildings that Ji Yuan had constructed and the deepening foundation.

The sunny side of the island was where Ji Yuan resided, with numerous building complexes all concentrated there.

The shaded side, on the other hand, housed the Chaotic Burial Mound, the Beehive, and other such gloomy and damaging structures.

Ji Yuan took a quick scan with his Divine Sense, immediately knowing that nothing major had happened on the island. After he left, everything was running in an orderly manner.

He stepped forward to where Tu Yue was commanding corpse puppets to till the land.

Looking at this corpse puppet who kept everything inside and out organized like a mistress, Ji Yuan felt somewhat at ease.

He didn’t know how she communicated with the two Qi Cultivation Stage corpse puppets, but seeing her point a few times up the mountain, the two corpse puppets moved away like walking corpses.

Ji Yuan waited for her to finish, then smiled and extended his right hand to her.

Without a word, Tu Yue obediently handed over all the storage bags she had on her.

Ji Yuan first glanced at the storage bag with Spirit Stones, and with just one look, his heart couldn’t help but panic… not from surprise, but from alarm.

For one reason, there were too many.

The Level 3 Spirit Vein produced 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and 1,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones daily.

In the two years Ji Yuan was away… just counting it as two years, that would be at least 73,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and 730,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

’Damn, how can I even spend that much?’

For a moment, Ji Yuan even felt that the 26,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones he had saved by living frugally outside were instantly less appealing. In the future, any action would be a rich battle.

In magical combat between Foundation Establishment Stages, start with a Celestial Thunder Seed to blast the opponent apart first.

While Ji Yuan couldn’t yet create Celestial Thunder Seeds himself, with so many Spirit Stones, did he need to?

The rest was what the other buildings produced.

The Wine Cellar quietly produced for two years, yielding 72 jin of Heart’s Desire Wine, enough to fill 720 bottles holding one liang each.

Unrivaled Wine was the same.

Coincidentally, he could take these as gifts for Hua Yaoyue this time.

The rest came from the Pigsty, producing Lustrous Jade Fat and Blood Essence, along with the Chicken Cage’s Tri-colored Spirit Eggs… which Ji Yuan needed, one every day, now numbering over 700, enough to make him sick of them.

As for the Fish Pond, Ji Yuan had now converted to Ice Technique, so Ice Soul Cold Dew wasn’t something he urgently needed. He could share it with the Frost Serpent to see if it could advance to Tier Three early on, becoming a great aid.

After assessing the plentiful harvest in the storehouse, Ji Yuan’s already joyful mood became even more jubilant.

He called out his flying boat, bringing Tu Yue alongside, and then headed straight for the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Last time on his northern trip, Ji Yuan had specifically bought enough corpses for Tu Yue to upgrade. However, upon returning, he got busy.

Since Tu Yue’s breakthrough wasn’t urgent, he forgot about it amid the chaos. Now that he remembered it upon returning, he naturally wanted to help her break through as soon as possible.

When Ji Yuan reached the shaded side of Wuyou Island, arriving at the Chaotic Burial Mound, he released Yin Tongzi and Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.

Especially for Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, who had recently fought against the Fake Pill Realm Wailing Wanderer.

Its body was seriously damaged.

Now, it needed to be buried properly to recuperate; otherwise, Ji Yuan would have to take it along for his next trip.

Before leaving, Ji Yuan also scanned the Beehive with his Divine Sense.

This glance made him jump.

The dense forest was densely packed with Spirit-Devouring Bees.

Upgrading the Beehive to Level 3 required the bee swarm to reach 80,000, and by the looks of it, there were nearly 40,000 already.

Considering the 10,000 he brought on his trip, they were close to reaching the upgrade conditions.

Looking at the enormous bee swarm, Ji Yuan didn’t show himself but directly tossed in 1,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

It was merely the ten-day output of the Spirit Vein.

As countless Spirit-Devouring Bees emerged from the forest, the buzzing was enough to shake the minds of some Qi Cultivation cultivators.

… The Spirit-Devouring Bees had formed into a formidable force but hadn’t yet gotten a chance to show their prowess.

It seemed the “Insect Demon” identity needed to make an appearance when an opportunity arose.

After inspecting the buildings, Ji Yuan’s gaze fell upon Tu Yue.

Ascending from the Peak of Qi Refining to the initial Foundation Establishment Stage required ten corpses with the same attribute at Foundation Establishment Stage, along with three Foundation Establishment Pills.

Tu Yue, being a Fire Cultivator in life, naturally needed fire technique cultivators for her upgrade.

As for the three Foundation Establishment Pills, Ji Yuan had them.

The panel didn’t specifically state that two-striped Foundation Establishment Pills were needed, as long as they were Foundation Establishment Pills.

With that, Ji Yuan took out 3 One-Stripe Foundation Establishment Pills.

“Here, take them, and lie in your coffin.”

Tu Yue took the Foundation Establishment Pills with both hands, then shuffled with her cloth shoes back to the Chaotic Burial Mound to her home.

Ji Yuan followed her in.

Tu Yue’s coffin was not only dressed exquisitely but even covered with a tiny canopy for protection against the elements.

Upon arrival, she first took off her shoes before obediently lying inside the coffin, blinking innocently at Ji Yuan.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately chose to upgrade with a thought.

As his thought process completed, ten Foundation Establishment corpses vanished from the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Tu Yue’s aura rapidly escalated, and in just a few moments, an intense surge of Yin Energy burst from her body, stabilizing her aura at…

Foundation Establishment Stage, initial level.

Tu Yue blinked, her eyes appearing more lively than ever.
