Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1295: Chapter 438: Accidents Arrive Before Tomorrow

In midair above Lindong City, a water-blue escape light suddenly halted.

This forced the few Core Formation Cultivators behind him to swerve, with one even cursing and grumbling.

Ji Yuan squinted, sensing the aura of a Peak Core Formation descending upon that person, scaring him into hastily clasping his hands in apology.

”It’s a misunderstanding, Daoist friend, a misunderstanding. I’m cursing at my brother, yes, it’s him.”

After speaking, he quickly pointed to an escape light that had already gone far away.

”Scram!”

Ji Yuan rasped out a reprimand, frightening the bald Demon Cultivator into hastily departing.

Ji Yuan’s sudden halt was naturally due to Brother Wen’s communication.

From the sound of the message, Brother Wen was undoubtedly severely injured, which was precisely the point that worried Ji Yuan...He already had few close friends.

Brother Wen, this Black and White Divine Hall Cultivator willing to share the ”Spirit-Penetrating Fragrance” with him, was undoubtedly among them.

Therefore, upon learning that Brother Wen was severely injured, Ji Yuan couldn’t remain indifferent.

”Where are you now? Tell me your location.”

Ji Yuan didn’t ask what happened; the immediate priority was to meet him first.

The message was sent out, and there was a brief wait before a response came. As Ji Yuan’s Communication Talisman trembled slightly, Brother Wen’s voice sounded again above Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

”I’ve already... already returned to within Lindong City, now in the east of the city. Brother Li, you need not come over; I’m entangled in trouble.”

Brother Wen’s voice was increasingly tinged with helplessness as he spoke.

Ji Yuan’s reply remained simple.

”Just tell me. Do not worry.”

This time, however, after the message was sent, Brother Wen did not respond.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly and added another line, ”Or if I encountered danger, would you treat me the same way?”

So, in this manner, Brother Wen finally disclosed his location.

He was now situated in an ordinary courtyard in the eastern part of the city.

And at the very moment he conveyed this information, Ji Yuan had already locked onto the location using his Divine Sense, only to find that the nearby residents were all Foundation Establishment and even Qi Cultivation Stage disciples.

.... forcing Brother Wen, this Late-stage Core Formation Cultivator, to such a state suggests the opponent is not simple indeed.

Let alone the fact that they are all part of the Black and White Divine Hall family, who would dare to act so ruthlessly?

Most likely, it’s only the ”people within” the Black and White Divine Hall.

Understanding this point, Ji Yuan hesitated no more, slightly concealing himself as he maneuvered his escape light to Brother Wen’s courtyard.

The yard was protected with a Tier Two Array, and it looked just like a regular Foundation Establishment Stage Cave Mansion.

For Ji Yuan, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it posed no impediment; he didn’t even need to knock to enter directly. Yet, upon stepping inside the courtyard, his Divine Sense scanned Brother Wen’s appearance...

”Brother Wen, you...”

Ji Yuan stepped forward, arriving beside the bed within the house.

On the bed lay a man with white hair and beard, looking extremely aged, and his originally white beard was stained with fresh blood, evident from the marks near the bed clearly indicating it had just been spat out recently.

Without a word, Ji Yuan immediately laid a hand on his wrist, while his body slightly trembled his Evergreen Sword from within, releasing a pure healing aura that transmitted through Ji Yuan’s hand to Brother Wen’s body.

Just by sensing slightly, Ji Yuan immediately discerned Brother Wen’s current state.

The body was severely injured, and even more alarming was his severely damaged source, nearing exhaustion.

For such condition to manifest, only one possibility existed: he had fiercely burned his Essence Blood.

He had fought desperately at some point.

”Brother Li...”

Lying on the bed, Brother Wen gazed at Ji Yuan sitting beside him, his eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

”Take this Elixir.”

Ji Yuan directly took out three Qi Blood Pills.

”There’s no need to waste yours on my injuries...”

Not waiting for Brother Wen to finish speaking, Ji Yuan forcefully stuffed the Elixir into his mouth, simultaneously channeling mana to help refine the three Qi Blood Pills.

Pure Blood Qi overflowed, immediately repairing Brother Wen’s injuries to a large extent.

It also considerably improved his complexion, although his head remained white-haired, recoverable only if Ji Yuan could find Immortal Talent to restore it... yet such a thing is at least Tier Four Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

If they exist at all, they are in the hands of Nascent Soul Cultivators, stored as precious treasures.

Previously, Bone Nightmare Old Demon needed such a thing, and could only resort to seeking within Rashamon Sea.

”Brother Li, why did you do this, sigh.”

With wounds healed, Brother Wen’s condition improved considerably, allowing him to sit up in bed.

”After I left back then, what happened?”

Ji Yuan disregarded Brother Wen’s sigh but instead asked directly.

But before questioning, he still deployed a Restriction to protect the courtyard.

Upon hearing this question, Brother Wen’s eyes reddened somewhat, seemingly both mournful and angry.

He unconsciously clenched his fists placed on the bed.

”Lan’Er, she... she’s dead!”

”What?!”

Ji Yuan immediately reacted in shock upon hearing those words.

Brother Wen’s ”Lan’Er” naturally referred to his wife — Yan Lanlan.

”And my sister-in-law is dead?”

In that instant, Ji Yuan immediately understood why Brother Wen burned Essence Blood and why his source was depleted to such an extent.

An event like that happened to Yan Lanlan; of course he fought desperately!

After a brief shock, Brother Wen then narrated the entire story in detail.
