Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 95: Chapter 88: [Chicken Cage] + [Spirit Field] = ? (Double-Length)

Even while sitting on the Flying Boat back, Ji Yuan’s heart remained somewhat unsettled.

The four of us had agreed to join the Water Dragon Sect together and become Foundation Establishment Cultivators, how long has it been now?

And yet, one is already missing.

Luo Tian was not talkative and didn’t like to interact with others, but Ji Yuan could feel that he was a warm-hearted person.

To those unrelated to him, he might not pay much attention, but he was very good to his own people. Not to mention, he gifted Ji Yuan a Water Bomb upon their first meeting...

This item, the Hundred Treasures Tower also sells it.

It’s quite expensive.

piece requires 40 Spirit Stones.

And last night before departure, seeing Ji Yuan slightly fearful, he even thought of giving another Water Bomb to Ji Yuan for protection.

But now, because of one ”determined to obtain” Magical Combat, he was completely buried in those mountains, without even leaving a corpse behind.

Was it a lack of caution on his part?

No.

Thinking it over carefully, it’s not just that I was cautious, even Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi were very cautious too.

Two demon cultivators at Qi Cultivation ninth layer, on our side, we had two at ninth layer, one at eighth layer, and one who knew Arrays at seventh layer... no matter how you see it, the advantage was ours.

Just didn’t expect that the other side would be so cunning as well.

Engaging in such a fishing scheme.

So, no matter what happens in the future, no matter the situation encountered, never regard oneself as a wise person.

What I can rely on are only my own strength and endlessly emerging trump cards.

Like today, if it weren’t for relying on the might of the Thunder Falcon Boat to forcibly shake off that Qi Cultivation tenth layer demon cultivator... I would have had to face him alone.

Qi Cultivation eighth layer against tenth layer, Ji Yuan didn’t have much confidence.

Even though I have multiple trump cards, I’ve only cultivated for a few years, while he’s cultivated for decades... be it experience in Magical Combat or trump card techniques, how could he have fewer than me?

Ji Yuan is not too worried about cultivators at eighth or ninth Qi Cultivation level, but if it’s a tenth layer one, especially someone older, stuck at Foundation Establishment for many years.

Extreme caution is necessary there.

There’s no room for the slightest carelessness.

Who knows if they might have some Tier Two Talismans suited for Foundation Establishment cultivators, or some other trump card techniques.

At this thought, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think of the Qin Family patriarch at Zengtou City, he is also at Qi Cultivation tenth layer... just don’t know if he is really as Lu Wan said, already deceased.

The path of cultivating immortality is indeed arduous.

Ji Yuan looked up and sighed deeply.

”Old Fourth, are you okay?”

The recovering Yao Jingfeng snapped back to reality and began to show concern about Ji Yuan’s safety.

”I’m fine.”

Ji Yuan’s expression remained somewhat downcast.

Yao Jingfeng was the same, but it seemed too late to say anything now; as for blaming... who can you blame? There’s nothing to blame, just like Luo Tian said before leaving, it’s simply the path of great competition.

Besides, no matter how much blame there is, people are already dead.

”Did you find anything of Old Third’s? His family... his father has already passed away, there’s an old mother and a younger brother, and his brother is already married.”

Yao Jingfeng babbled on.

”Can’t find anything.”

Unbeknownst to when she woke up, Du Wanyi lay on the Flying Boat, motionless, just staring blankly higher up, ”He crushed eight Water Bombs and forced those three demonic cultivators to detonate them, with that power, even the Storage Bag would have been blown away, let alone himself.”

Ji Yuan acknowledged with a sound.

”Then you...”

Yao Jingfeng wanted to ask but didn’t dare to.

Du Wanyi’s tears fell silently onto the Flying Boat, but she said without a hint of sobbing, ”Third Brother had a long-rope type of superior Magical Artifact, he deliberately pretended to be weak, and when those three demon cultivators approached, he activated it, binding himself and the three demon cultivators together, then bought me three breaths of escape time.”

”But he himself... he...”

At this point, Du Wanyi couldn’t help but sob out loud.

Ji Yuan didn’t know how to console, and he had already done his best, if he hadn’t swiftly dealt with the opponent, Yao Jingfeng wouldn’t be lying here now.

Had Yao Jingfeng died, that Qi Cultivation tenth layer demon cultivator would have free hands to join with the other demon cultivators.

Even if Ji Yuan could still escape relying on the Flying Boat’s might, Luo Tian and Du Wanyi would not have had a chance.

After such a long silence, seeing that they were already back at Cloud Rain Marsh, Ji Yuan took out the Storage Bag obtained earlier and the damaged silver Flying Boat.

”This is the Storage Bag of that tenth layer cultivator, I only found this, the Gentiana... should be inside.”

Ji Yuan hadn’t refined it, didn’t know what was inside, only guessed and said it.

Lying on the Flying Boat, Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi each glanced at it.

”Old Fourth, you keep it, without you here, we wouldn’t even be alive, let alone caring about such external possessions.” Yao Jingfeng said with a bitter smile.

Du Wanyi also ”uhh” in agreement.

”Old Fourth, just keep it.”

Ji Yuan didn’t speak further, just raised his hand to take up the Storage Bag, infused it with Spiritual Qi, refining it in an instant.

There were five stalks of medicinal herbs tied with red string on the Flying Boat, emitting a faint fragrance, refreshing to the senses, ”This should be the Gentiana, right?”

”Yes.”

Du Wanyi, with lighter injuries and after having taken a healing Qi Blood Pill earlier, could now struggle to sit up.

”Old Fourth, just keep them,” she said, her face pale.

Ji Yuan said, ”Five stalks, I’ll take three.”

Then he handed two of them unprompted to Du Wanyi and Yao Jingfeng.
