Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1058: Chapter 387: The Meeting of Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Chou (Part 1)

This was the question Ji Yuan was most curious about at the moment.

”This is the Hidden Spirit Vine, said to be capable of growing into a Tier Five Demon Beast. However, the one in the city now is only at Tier Four Early Stage. Its main body is inside the ’Qingyue Building’ in the city, but its vines have spread to every corner of the city. I invited it to protect me, but I didn’t expect Brother Ji to cut them all down.”

Mu Xueyao explained everything frankly.

... The Hidden Spirit Vine, capable of growing to a Tier Five Demon Beast, makes sense to have the ability to isolate Divine Sense.

’I wonder if I can get some seeds. Such Spirit Plants, if cultivated by myself, could become a great help in the future.’

Ji Yuan’s idea was to plant it in the Spirit Field. Once it matured, its vines could cover the entire Mountain of Mind and Heart.

”Can you take the treasures inside the various houses in the city?”

”Yes, I took the ones in this house.”

As Mu Xueyao spoke, she reached behind her head with her right hand and took off a hollowed-out golden hairpin.

”Comparable to a Peak of Core Formation Lifebound Magical Treasure, it can store mana and should save my life at a critical moment.”

”It’s indeed a great treasure.”

Ji Yuan first praised it, then continued, ”Then why don’t you continue searching for more treasures?”

”Because Lord Ghost said that outsiders have come in, and the first ones allowed in are all very powerful. He said I couldn’t defeat them and told me to hide or go to the Outer Realm.”

Mu Xueyao said this and laughed.

”I thought it would be Xun Tianji and his group, but it turned out to be Brother Ji.”

”They should be entering soon as well.”

Ji Yuan said, turning his head to look afar from the railing.

All he could see was a mist, but it wouldn’t be long before this place became a blood-soaked land.

Especially with the ghost envoy implementing ”benevolent arts” here.

”Did you find where the most valuable treasures in this Rakshasa City are hidden?”

Ji Yuan asked this question through voice transmission.

”I found them. There are five-story buildings in the north, south, east, and west, each guarded by at least three Peak of Core Formation Yin Ghosts. Then there’s the Qingyue Building in the city center, guarded by the Tier Four Early Stage Hidden Spirit Vine. I can’t even imagine what Supreme Treasures are hidden inside.”

Mu Xueyao spoke with a tone of anticipation.

”At least three Peak of Core Formation Yin Ghosts...”

Ji Yuan extended his Divine Sense and quickly found the five-story building Mu Xueyao mentioned in the southern part of the city, named ”Nanyue Building.”

”If we really start fighting, it won’t be taken down quickly. If it drags on until other cultivators come in, it’ll be a big trouble.”

Ji Yuan analyzed.

Even if he used all his techniques, he could take down a five-story building, but only if there were no outsiders involved.

Moreover, Ji Yuan knew the ghost envoy’s nature well. Although it spoke kindly now, if given the chance, it wouldn’t miss an opportunity to exploit him.

For example, if Ji Yuan attacked Nanyue Building, at a critical moment, the ghost envoy might teleport a Peak of Core Formation cultivator who just entered from outside to Nanyue Building’s exterior, letting it reap the benefits of the battle.

”Then I know of a few three-story small buildings I haven’t visited, Brother Ji. Come with me quickly.”

”Before they come in, let’s grab more treasures.”

Mu Xueyao, previously hindered by her strength, had her eyes on several three-story small buildings guarded by Peak of Core Formation Yin Ghosts, but had not succeeded.

Now that Ji Yuan was here, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

”Alright.”

Ji Yuan agreed immediately.

”...”

Half a day later, after Ji Yuan had successively dealt with two Peak of Core Formation Yin Ghosts and acquired two batches of treasures, he stopped.

Because within his Divine Sense Domain, he saw someone else.

Xiao Xuan from the Black and White Divine Hall.

As soon as he entered, he activated the Golden Ghost Order, and immediately a portal appeared before him.

He stepped in, and his figure disappeared instantly.

... Does this mean he can freely move between the Inner Realm and Outer Realm?

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan immediately took out his own Golden Ghost Order.

Mana poured in, and a portal appeared before him as well.

”Are we going to the Outer Realm?”

Mu Xueyao asked curiously.

”If we can leave, let’s explore first. If we really encounter trouble later, we can escape quickly.”

”Okay.”

After speaking, the two stepped through the portal, and after Ji Yuan entered, he saw three areas in his vision, corresponding to the three trial grounds of the Outer Realm.

Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest, Yin Soul Ancient Path, and Poisonous Miasma Swamp.

In addition, there was a separately marked square, which Ji Yuan speculated was the assembly square for the Yin Ghost Sect disciples at the beginning.

”Let’s check out the Poisonous Miasma Swamp.”

After Ji Yuan spoke, the two swiftly fell.

When Ji Yuan saw his surroundings clearly again, he realized he had returned to the Poisonous Miasma Swamp.

It’s just that this location was random, no longer the position he left before.

”I stayed here for a while before, other than feeling like there were rotten corpses everywhere, there was nothing else.”

Mu Xueyao muttered beside him.

As a Yin Ghost Sect clansperson who entered earlier, she neither belonged to a Yin Ghost Sect disciple nor to a Loose Cultivator.

So naturally, she didn’t have an Identity Jade to earn Contribution Points.

Ji Yuan released his Divine Sense to sweep around the hundred-mile radius... no living person was seen.

No idea how they managed to go to the Inner Realm; perhaps they opened another portal somewhere.
