Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 989: Chapter 373: Hua Yaoyue Protects the Dao Again (Part 1)

The first thing is these few Cultivation Techniques: the Magic Cultivator’s Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual and the Yin Transformation and Spirit Absorption Book, both are cultivation Magic Techniques that lead straight to the Nascent Soul.

As for the Sword Manual, Ji Yuan once swore an oath that it could not be passed on.

But this Yin Transformation and Spirit Absorption Book was the desperate gift of the Sea-Crossing Old Demon; if he wants to sell it, that’s not impossible either, since he’s already received the inheritance anyway.

Next is the Body Cultivator’s Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill. Judging from the reaction of the Martial God Tower’s Artifact Spirit, if this Cultivation Technique were to spread, let alone a mere Cloud Cliff Temple, even if it were placed in the legendary Martial God Continent, it would probably stir up a raging storm.

So this also cannot be passed on.

Then there is the Fountain of Eternal Youth. Ji Yuan now has a little more than one hundred and twenty bottles left; one bottle holds a single mouthful, one mouthful extends life by twenty years.

Although it has no small side effects, any Miracle Treasure that can extend lifespan is something every Cultivator would want.

And the only ones who truly have a chance to scheme for it are Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Besides that are the two Miracle Treasures on Ji Yuan’s person.

One is the Concealment Conical Hat, the other is the Chasing Lightning Flying Cloud.

These two should also be enough to move the hearts of those Nascent Soul Monsters.

Lastly, there is the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew. Once this thing appears, let alone a mere Cloud Cliff Temple… Ji Yuan has no doubt that if he takes out this Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, it will definitely be able to change the entire structure of the Jiyuan Continent!

For example, the Black and White Divine Hall—if they truly no longer have their Divinity Transformation Ancestor, while the other Holy Lands all obtain Nine Nether Burning Life Brew… then they can forget about suppressing anyone.

The entire Jiyuan Continent would surely be thrown into utter chaos.

It’s just that if he wants to trade with Nascent Soul Monsters, yet he himself doesn’t have Nascent Soul Stage strength… no, wait!

A name suddenly popped into Ji Yuan’s mind.

[Three Immortal Islands]

“So that’s why I say there’s a way, but it’s also as good as no way.”

Wen Jiu sighed as he spoke.

In his view, unless the ancestor behind Ji Yuan who also has Nascent Soul Cultivation comes out, they can forget about getting this Energy Gathering Stone.

“Is this Energy Gathering Stone really that hard to come by?”

Ji Yuan asked, sounding as if he were internally struggling.

“Yes.”

Wen Jiu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat, then continued:

“This Energy Gathering Stone has no vein of its own; there are generally only two ways it’s produced. Either it appears as an associated ore in other rare mineral veins, like in that Bright Sun Meteorite Rock vein Brother Li needed earlier… there might be the slightest sliver of possibility that it produces this Energy Gathering Stone.”

“Or it’s in various Secret Realms and perilous lands, where it borrows the fortunes of heaven and earth; only then is it possible for such a wondrous item to form.”

“In fact, in the Eight Holy Lands, there are definitely more or less some Energy Gathering Stones; the Black and White Divine Hall even more so. It’s just that with the methods and strength of us two brothers, it’s extremely hard to get our hands on any.”

For a moment, Wen Jiu laid out the ins and outs of the matter, for Ji Yuan’s reference.

After listening, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but have another thought… maybe asking Bone Nightmare Old Demon for two pieces would be even faster.

But that could only stay as a thought. Ji Yuan had no doubt that the moment he voiced this idea, the next moment he’d be strung up and beaten by Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

As for doing a trade with those two, Ji Yuan didn’t even dare to think about it.

He even felt that going to the Extreme East, to the sea abyss region to find Mei Manor for a trade, would still be safer than dealing with Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

Though speaking of it, that actually is a viable method.

After thinking it over, Ji Yuan realized that if he wanted to get this Energy Gathering Stone, he only had two paths.

One is to go to Cloud Cliff Temple, though for that path, Ji Yuan felt he had to make a trip to the Three Immortal Islands first.

…Perhaps once he gets to the Three Immortal Islands, he might directly settle it.

The other is to go look for Mei Manor.

If he goes openly to Mei Manor’s door, the man probably won’t dare make a move, but that was still a bet Ji Yuan didn’t dare take.

After all, the strongest Cultivation at Cloud Cliff Temple is only Mid-stage Nascent Soul; if Ji Yuan drinks down one mouthful of wine, he still has a chance to escape.

But that Mei Manor old thief… is a Late-stage Nascent Soul; even if Ji Yuan drains all his wine, he wouldn’t be able to beat him.

“Alright, I’ll thank Brother Wen for this matter first; I’ll think of another way.”

“Mm. Brother Li, you must be cautious. This matter involves too much; it cannot be rushed.”

After this final reminder, Wen Jiu rose and left this Cave Mansion.

Seeing him off, Ji Yuan remained in the Cave Mansion, still deep in thought.

“Three Immortal Islands… Before Master left, he told me: if I run into trouble, go to the Three Immortal Islands. No matter what trouble, there’s someone there who can help solve it. At worst I just directly tell them I want Energy Gathering Stones, and see if they can find a way to resolve it.”

“Though Master also said each time I use this favor, it decreases by one, but if I hoard the favor and don’t use it, how am I supposed to increase my strength?”

“By the time I’ve formed my own Nascent Soul, this favor might be useless to me anyway.”

Ji Yuan was deep in thought while pacing back and forth in the Cave Mansion.

“Though Mei Manor is a path, compared to the Cloud Cliff Temple route… Mei Manor is still more dangerous. After all, last time he already wanted to kill me.”

After mulling it over, Ji Yuan very naturally made his decision.

Go to Cloud Cliff Temple and get the Energy Gathering Stone!

It’s just that before going to Cloud Cliff Temple, he has to first make a trip to the Three Immortal Islands… now where were the Three Immortal Islands located again?

Ji Yuan took a Geomancy Map out of his Storage Bag and spread it flat on the table.

“From Lindong City directly to Southern Border City, then further south, out to sea and straight southwest, and I’ll reach these Three Immortal Islands.”

After confirming the direction, Ji Yuan couldn’t help thinking again about the origin of the Three Immortal Islands.

It’s said that in the early days the Three Immortal Islands were nameless, but later three Peak of Core Formation Female Cultivators settled there together, saying they would jointly go into seclusion to impact the Nascent Soul Stage, and thus they renamed that island to the Three Immortal Islands.
