Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 755: Chapter 319: Jiyuan Continent—Old Demon Ji

’It’s fortunate that the text is the same, otherwise it would truly be a headache if I couldn’t understand or hear it.’

Sitting here, listening to the unfamiliar language surrounding her, Du Wanyi felt somewhat disoriented. She couldn’t help but wonder… what is Fourth Brother doing at this moment?

Why hasn’t he come over… How long do I have to wait here?

But soon the shopkeeper brought over drinks and food, interrupting her thoughts.

“Thank you.”

Du Wanyi replied in the dialect of the Jiyuan Continent. Although she wasn’t very fluent, she could manage.

Speaking the elegant language is not impossible, but if she spoke it, it would invite ridicule from people nearby, likely saying things like “showing off” or “pretentious.”

Moreover, Du Wanyi worries that speaking the elegant language will draw attention.

This place itself is on the far western edge of the Jiyuan Continent, connected to the Cangluo Continent. Speaking the elegant language here could easily attract those with intent.

’As Fourth Brother said, being cautious won’t hurt when traveling.’

When the drinks arrived, she barely drank and focused on listening to the conversations around her.

A tavern and teahouse by nature is the best place for gathering information, though there is another place that is highly convenient for it.

But unfortunately, due to Du Wanyi’s status, she can’t go there.

“In my view, the Black and White Divine Hall and Celestial Killer Mountain will eventually connect the Teleportation Array to Cangluo Continent. Who would dare call our far west of Jiyuan Continent a barren land?”

“Heh, it’s inevitable. Why do you think I came to the Land of the Far West in the first place?”

“Certainly, once our Land of the Far West becomes popular in Jiyuan Continent, you’d best get familiar here first to seize the opportunity and make a fortune. It might even help you establish your Foundation Establishment!”

“…”

The surrounding voices were lively, and Du Wanyi listened intently.

The western region of Jiyuan Continent was called the “Land of the Far West,” which she naturally knew.

It’s similar to the eastern region being called the Land of the Far East.

She had heard about Jiyuan Continent wanting to build a Teleportation Array to Cangluo Continent and was initially shocked.

After all, the Teleportation Array was something out of a tome for her.

Upon further inquiry, she learned that Jiyuan Continent does have a Teleportation Array.

But it’s rare, and the amount of Spirit Stones needed to activate it… is substantial.

So ordinary cultivators can’t afford it; only disciples from major sects and powers can.

For instance, like the Black and White Divine Hall and Celestial Killer Mountain mentioned earlier.

Jiyuan Continent and Cangluo Continent are similar, with various major powers.

In Cangluo Continent, there are Shang Dong’s six Immortal Sects and Shangxi’s Three Demon Sects.

Jiyuan Continent has the Eight Holy Lands plus one Divine Hall.

The Divine Hall naturally refers to the Black and White Divine Hall, the strongest and largest power with rumored Divinity Transformation ancestors within its ranks.

So it’s undeniably the number one power in Jiyuan Continent.

The remaining Eight Holy Lands are Xuanqing Sect, Heavenly Craft Valley, Cloud Cliff Monastery, Listening Wave Pavilion, Celestial Killer Mountain, Bone Nightmare Sect, Soul Refining Hall, and Profound Snake Mansion.

These names seem distinctly righteous or evil.

But after Du Wanyi learned about these sects’ conduct, she realized they only appeared distinctly righteous or evil.

Jiyuan Continent lacks a clear division between righteousness and evil.

As evident in the strongest power’s name.

Black and White Divine Hall.

The sect location of Celestial Killer Mountain is precisely the Land of the Far West, so Black and White Divine Hall needs Celestial Killer Mountain’s aid to open the Teleportation Array connecting the two continents.

This is some of the information Du Wanyi has gathered during this time.

Conversations around continued, and Du Wanyi heard plenty of the information she needed.

For instance, members of the Black and White Divine Hall have already traveled through the sea passage to Cangluo Continent, but details haven’t returned yet.

However, it’s said that Celestial Killer Mountain is already preparing for the cross-continental Teleportation Array arrangements, so it seems there won’t be any significant issues.

’Once the Teleportation Array is established, traveling between the two continents will be much easier. Perhaps I could use it to return to Cangluo Continent.’

Du Wanyi couldn’t help but ponder.

Although it’s been several months since she arrived, she always feels like an outsider and lacks a sense of belonging to Jiyuan Continent.

If she didn’t know Ji Yuan was coming later, she might have already returned.

As she pondered, she suddenly heard a familiar name, so familiar it surprised her.

Because that voice mentioned… Ji Yuan!

She immediately put down her wine cup and listened intently.

“What Ji Yuan, he’s clearly Old Demon Ji!”

“It’s said that with only Fake Core Cultivation, he’s already killed many Core Formation Stage cultivators. Otherwise, how could his reputation spread from the Land of the Far South to the Land of the Far West here? He’s undoubtedly an old demon!”

“To be called an old demon at the mere Fake Pill Realm, he must have extremely foul methods.”

The black-clad, embroidered tiger gentleman sneered.

“Heh, you old man, being in Qi Cultivation Stage, dare speak of the mere Fake Pill Realm. His breath might end your life.”

The bald man heavily placed his wine bowl on the table, glaring:

“So what? I lack the strength, can’t I boast a bit?”

As they spoke, a tall man at a nearby table quickly interjected to mediate.
