Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1054: Chapter 386: Inner Realm; Encountering Mu Xueyao

Each of those Core Formation mid to late-stage cultivators carries several hundred to over a thousand Contribution Points.

If we kill them, all those Contribution Points will become ours...

As for those at the peak of Core Formation, there’s no need to mention it—killing just one of them can be exchanged for a Tier Four Early-stage Demon Pill.

How could one not do this business?

”What, are you tempted, kid? Hehehe.”

The Ghost Envoy’s sinister laughter jolted Ji Yuan awake.

”I have to say, Senior, this is indeed a ruthless strategy,” Ji Yuan couldn’t help but admire.

”Never mind whether it’s ruthless, just tell me if it’s useful.”

”Useful, very useful!”

Even though others haven’t entered Rakshasa City yet, Ji Yuan could already foresee the bloodbath that would unfold inside.

”What kind of situation is inside Rakshasa City, Senior? Can you tell me a bit? As a disciple, I just want to understand in advance, so it’ll be easier to contribute to the Sect.”

Ji Yuan hurriedly added a sentence midway.

”Alright, I was going to let you explore on your own, but considering your dedication to the Sect, I’ll give you some insights.”

The Ghost Envoy pondered and said: ”Rakshasa City is filled with treasures, unlike before when exchanges were necessary; here, as long as you’re lucky and powerful enough, you can take them.”

”Most of the treasures are inside these houses, but when you open the door, it might not be treasures you see but rather a Yin Ghost ready to devour you. So opportunities and dangers co-exist in Rakshasa City.”

”But don’t worry, the first trial of the Inner Realm won’t happen immediately. You will have some time to treasure hunt and enhance your strength, and only when everyone is more or less here will the first trial descend.”

”...It’s probably not time to enhance our strength, but rather time for slaughter.” Ji Yuan said.

”That doesn’t matter; after all, these are all part of the process.”

The Ghost Envoy said casually: ”But looking at your cultivation, kid, it seems you’re having trouble keeping up. If you really encounter those top Core Formation peak-level cultivators, your mid-stage Core Formation will suffer greatly.”

”But unfortunately, I can’t break the rules...”

...I damn well thought you were going to give me an opportunity to break through to late-stage Core Formation!

And after waiting for so long, you give me this?

”Senior, I have bled for the Sect.”

Ji Yuan pondered.

”Enough of this ’bled for the Sect’ talk. Unless you’ve sacrificed your life for the Sect, like handing over your powerful Divine Soul, then I might give you some pointers,” the Ghost Envoy mocked.

”Then forget it...”

”Let me point you a path, if you can reach the core area, I’ll tell you where to find the opportunity to advance to late-stage Core Formation. As for now...”

”Everything for the Sect!”

Ji Yuan immediately added.

”Heh.”

The Ghost Envoy gave a cold smile, and his presence withdrew.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and turned to look at the crisscrossing streets... The priority now was to treasure hunt before other Core Formation cultivators arrived.

As for what treasures might be found, it was all a matter of luck, like a blind box.

However, Ji Yuan thought, could it really be that in this vast Rakshasa City, there isn’t a single treasure that could help an early-stage Core Formation advance to late-stage Core Formation?

How could that be? Even if there isn’t, Ji Yuan was ready to kill a few more people.

Then, when the first trial was cleared, he’d exchange treasures and see if he could exchange for any that could enhance cultivation.

Ji Yuan released his Divine Sense, and the suppression was still there, even more intense now.

His Nascent Soul Early Stage Divine Sense was suppressed to the level of early-stage Core Formation.

Which makes sense; if there wasn’t any suppression, the Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense could likely enshroud the entire Rakshasa City, right?

Even if he couldn’t see inside the houses, he’d still have omniscient awareness of the occurrences in the city.

But as it stood, Ji Yuan looked around and quickly had his gaze drawn to a house with a ”Elixir” sign hanging.

If there were truly treasures, wouldn’t they be inside this elixir shop?

With this thought, Ji Yuan raised his right hand, forming a sword stance with his index and middle fingers combined, placing them in front of him.

Four streaks of purple-blue sword light shot out from behind, transforming into four Flying Swords hovering behind him.

Then he beckoned with his left hand.

The Hundred Insects Old Immortal, in his early-stage Core Formation form, appeared in front of him.

”You, open the door.”

With the situation unclear, Ji Yuan naturally wouldn’t take the risk himself.

As a Corpse Puppet, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal was free from taboo and, following Ji Yuan’s command, swiftly darted to the elixir shop.

But before he could extend his hand, Ji Yuan saw a vine descend from the eaves, striking straight at the chest of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

”Hmm?”

Ji Yuan watched this scene, frowning slightly.

He had been using his Divine Sense to monitor the nearby streets but hadn’t seen this vine’s approach or departure.

Even now, though he could see the vine, his Divine Sense still couldn’t detect it.

So... is this a creature even Divine Sense can’t probe?!

The Hundred Insects Old Immortal performed a hand gesture, and as the Protective Spirit Light appeared on him, the Magical Treasure ”Ten Thousand Blades” manifested around him.

A Flying Saber Magical Treasure obtained from Qi Xiu.

Ji Yuan couldn’t utilize so many, so he gave it to the Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

Especially since his Golden Light Mirror was shattered by Qi Xiu, it seems what goes around comes around.

The vine lashed out, instantly tearing open the chest of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal and sending him flying away.

But immediately, he activated the Flying Saber.

”Hiss—”

In the gray mist, a flash of cold light passed.

A burst of brilliance!

Ji Yuan only saw a glint of cold light, and the vine seemed to recoil as if in pain, withdrawing swiftly back to the beam above.
