Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 939: Chapter 363: [Wine Cellar: Level 4]—Nine Nether Burning Life Brew!

The Six Extremes Child, who was already short, could only sit cross-legged on the chair. Upon hearing these words, he jumped off the chair with a start and stood on the ground.

”Mistress, I...”

”Mistress?”

Before the Six Extremes Child could finish, the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother sneered, ”You can’t even respect your junior brother, and you call me Mistress.”

”Get out!”

With that, the Six Extremes Child seemed to be severely injured, flew straight out the door, and vomited blood.

Getting hit, the Six Extremes Child instead heaved a sigh of relief.

It’s good that the Ghost Mother is willing to act.

Getting beaten implies the matter ends here.

Then the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother turned to the already standing Yin Bone Master. ”What’s wrong, do you, old ghost, have any opinions?”

”I would not dare.”

Yin Bone Master said with his head lowered.

”Is it that you don’t dare, or have nothing to say?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother inquired further.

Yin Bone Master slowly turned to glance at Ji Yuan before saying, ”This junior does not know why Daoist Hu is so esteemed by the Ghost Mother. From now on, this junior will treat him as an equal.”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, hearing this, squinted her eyes at him, watched for a moment, and then hoarsely said:

”From now on, when you see Hu Beizhi, it’s like seeing me personally!”

Yin Bone Master remained indifferent, nodded, then turned to look at Ji Yuan and cupped his hands:

”Greetings, Elder Hu.”

Ji Yuan couldn’t figure out the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s actions. He was contemplating returning the courtesy but found he couldn’t move and finally had to say:

”Daoist Yin Bone, there’s no need for such formality.”

Only then did the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother snort with satisfaction and turned her attention to the other Core Formation Cultivators.

She cast a cold glance and, without a word, disappeared from the hall with a step.

Once she left, the pressure vanished, and the Core Formation Cultivators were able to move.

Of course, if they had wanted to resist, they could have moved too.

But who would dare to face and resist a Nascent Soul Monster?

With the master who held the scene gone, Ji Yuan noticed the attitudes of the Core Formation Cultivators towards him changed significantly for the better.

Of course, there were many more who were envious.

Who wouldn’t envy being backed by a Nascent Soul Cultivator?

The Six Extremes Child, who was just thrown out, also flew back, obediently cupped his hands to Ji Yuan, with a friendly smile on his face.

”First time meeting, Junior Brother Hu indeed looks heroic.”

”Senior Brother Six Extremes, you’re too kind. I think you are truly outstanding.”

Ji Yuan was also smiling, as if what had just happened didn’t exist.

As for Yin Bone Master across from him, he was seated again, as if nothing had happened just now.

So Ji Yuan raised his wine cup and went up to toast with others.

Yin Bone Master still addressed him as ”Elder Hu,” and Ji Yuan couldn’t say much.

He couldn’t just go against his master’s face right after the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother left, could he?

After taking his seat, the other Core Formation Cultivators came up to chat.

Whether simply toasting or chatting about all sorts of topics.

Nobody was prying into Ji Yuan’s origins anymore.

Ma Gui was introducing the identities of others to him.

In just half a day, Ji Yuan’s ”social circle” expanded to dozens of Core Formation Cultivators.

What is this?

This is called networking!

So when Ji Yuan saw that the food and drinks were almost done and he had met all these Core Formation Cultivators, he seized a quiet moment where fewer people were speaking and cleared his throat slightly.

As soon as he coughed, all the Core Formation Cultivators quieted down to look at him.

With a single word, dozens of Core Formations listened attentively.

This feeling truly gave Ji Yuan a slight thrill.

But he also knew that this feeling was entirely due to the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother; if it weren’t for this Nascent Soul Monster of a master backing him, would these Core Formation Cultivators treat him with such importance?

Ultimately, this is still a cultivation world where the one with the bigger fists speaks louder.

Ji Yuan’s passionate mind soon calmed down.

He looked at the audience, first stood slightly, gave a polite gesture, and then embarrassingly smiled.

”It’s like this, I’ve been searching hard for the Nine Nether Fragrance for a long time. I wonder if any of you fellow Daoists have it? I’m willing to purchase it for Immortal Talent, or if anyone has clues about the Nine Nether Fragrance, it would be appreciated.”

”Nine Nether Fragrance?”

Ma Gui instinctively began to recall if there’s any in the sect’s treasury.

As the one in charge of the treasury, he soon concluded...None.

Of course, most valuable treasures are on Bone Nightmare Old Demon, so whether Bone Nightmare Sect has it or not.

He didn’t know either.

And the Core Formation Cultivators present, upon hearing this, engaged in murmured exchanges, evidently asking their familiar Daoists if anyone had it.

Ji Yuan was waiting for their answer.

A withered, strangely blue-gray-skinned elder stood in the middle and cupped his hands slightly towards Ji Yuan.

”Does Daoist Hu need the Nine Nether Fragrance extracted from the extremely yin Land of the Nine Netherworld using the Nine-turn Intestine Grass?”

”Indeed!”

Ji Yuan’s eyes lit up, ”May I ask if Daoist You Bone knows where to find it?”

You Bone Wanderer, with a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, was introduced by Ma Gui to have his Lifebound Magical Treasure as a White Bone Withered Heart Cane and practiced the ”White Bone Soul Refining Art.” He might indeed know where...

But just as Ji Yuan was full of hope, he saw You Bone Wanderer shake his head and sit back down.

”This item is too rare. I only saw it mentioned in books.”

Ji Yuan could only sigh...why did you stand up and say anything if you didn’t have it, getting my hopes up for nothing.

”Alright then.”

Just as Ji Yuan was about to give up the idea and was preparing to ask the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother after returning, a charming female voice suddenly echoed in his consciousness.
