Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 194: Chapter 138: Tier 2 Spirit Beast Bag

Cyan Leaf City is located to the east of the Water Dragon Sect.

If one travels by water, they can follow the Boundless Marsh of the Water Dragon Sect from Cloud Rain Marsh, exit to the Starfall River, and sail downstream to arrive directly.

As it lies on the banks of the Starfall River, it serves as an important port of the river.

It is said that occasionally a Golden Core Zhenren from the Water Dragon Sect will be stationed here.

Previously, a Tier Three Water Beast from the Starfall River came ashore, intending to destroy this Cyan Leaf City, but was ultimately slain by that Golden Core Zhenren with a sword.

Overall, this Cyan Leaf City is considered safe.

Few cultivators dare to cause trouble here.

Ji Yuan felt at ease coming here; he disembarked from the flying boat at the city gates, looked up at the seventy to eighty meters high city walls, and noticed not only the special construction of the stone walls but also the array patterns on them.

As an Alchemist, Talisman Master, and Array Master, Ji Yuan could naturally discern some of the array’s secrets.

As expected, the array in Cyan Leaf City should be a Tier Three Array, something Ji Yuan had seen at the Hundred Treasures Tower, where the Tier Two Array was not so complicated.

Damn, if only my Mist Island had a Tier Three Array, I would definitely hide there until I reached Golden Core before coming out.

By the time I reach Golden Core, I shouldn’t have to run away from people chasing me, right?

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Yuan drifted along with the crowd into the city. He had visited several big cities like this before, previously raising pigs in Black Mountain City or Red Leaf City, but none were as large or as beautiful as Cyan Leaf City.

At a glance, it was clear that Cyan Leaf City had been well-planned; not only were the streets neatly organized, but the many shops were uniformly structured, without any anomalies.

As for cultivators... there were many.

This was something Ji Yuan had never seen in other cities.

The streets weren’t exactly jam-packed, but they were certainly bustling with people.

Walking among them, Ji Yuan saw many bizarre cultivators.

For instance, a cute little girl with a large wine gourd strapped to her back despite her short stature.

There was also a female cultivator in red with a red snake coiled around her shoulder.

Plus, a tall man with two heads, whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, striding carelessly down the street, occasionally frightening nearby cultivators with his two heads.

But no actual fights broke out.

When cultivators were scared to the point they fell on the ground, his two heads would burst into laughter.

Such scenes happened often.

It’s no wonder Du Wanyi could earn a lot of Spirit Stones here; with this kind of foot traffic, she could easily fill her pockets... Ji Yuan thought with a sigh.

For a brief moment, he was even a bit tempted.

But he figured that the influx of cultivators was probably due to the upcoming auction; normally, there wouldn’t be this many people.

Ji Yuan followed the flow of people to a tall building at the center of the city, which had nine floors and a large circular layout.

A large sign hung over the entrance reads ”Cyan Leaf Auction House,” and above it was the symbol of the Water Dragon Sect.

This signified that it was an official auction house of the Water Dragon Sect.

It represented both credibility and intimidation.

Ji Yuan paused to look at the entrance before following others into the auction house.

Compared to the noise outside, it was much quieter inside, not only because the auction hadn’t started yet but also because there were fewer people, mostly in various rooms inspecting items to see if they were valuable enough for the auction.

There were 6 days left until the auction house opened, with the last 3 days being the lock-ins.

By then, no more items would be accepted for auction.

The Cyan Leaf Auction House also needed time to prepare for the final auction.

With guidance from the staff, Ji Yuan entered a room on the right side, where a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was verifying Immortal Talents.

As expected, for such an auction, those coming to consign items were likely Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

If they placed a Qi Cultivation Cultivator in the position, not only would it be disrespectful, but they might lack the knowledge to assess the value of certain items.

”Greetings, Senior.”

Upon entering, Ji Yuan cupped his hands in salute.

The blue-clad man with graying hair smiled warmly, exuding no sense of pressure, ”Sit, let’s talk while seated.”

”Hehe, what is the young friend planning to sell?”

Once Ji Yuan sat down, the blue-clad cultivator asked with a chuckle.

”Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Ji Yuan got straight to the point.

”Oh?”

Hearing this, the blue-clad cultivator’s interest was piqued, and he perked up.

”Young friend, you have such a treasure?”

”It was a gift from my clan’s patriarch, intended for my Foundation Establishment. However, I currently owe too much gambling debt, so I have no choice but to sell it to make up the losses.”

Ji Yuan sighed as he explained.

The blue-clad cultivator’s smile became a little more genuine upon hearing this.

A patriarch willing to give a Foundation Establishment Pill, paired with a wastrel who’s accumulated so much gambling debt, made perfect sense somehow.

With that being the case, this business deal was almost certainly settled.

Moreover, if this Foundation Establishment Pill had slightly better quality, for example, a Two-striped Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be a perfect item to headline the auction.

And since it would be submitted through him, he’d even receive a higher commission.

”Young friend, aren’t you afraid of being reprimanded by the patriarch when you return after selling the Foundation Establishment Pill?”

To be certain, the blue-clad cultivator asked with a smile.

”It’s alright, at most I’ll get a beating, but the patriarch wouldn’t go so far as to kill me, right?”

Ji Yuan shrugged off the concern, taking out the Foundation Establishment Pill gifted by the ”Clan Patriarch.”

As soon as Ji Yuan presented the elixir, the blue-clad cultivator clamped up, carefully receiving it with both hands. Upon removing the cork, a rich medicinal aroma permeated the entire room.
