Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 263: Chapter 160: Mastering Golden Core Again

Feng Yichen remained silent.

But that eerie voice spoke again, ”What, you think an old man like me has survived in this Nine Nether Cave Heaven without knowing the taboos of soul possession?”

”You’re a mortal now; if I possess you, I will surely die. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you restore your cultivation before taking over your body.”

The three major taboos of soul possession.

The first is that a cultivator can only possess another cultivator, not a mortal.

The second is that only a high-ranking cultivator can possess a lower-ranking one.

The third is that a body can only be possessed once.

Feng Yichen couldn’t help but speak now, he smiled bitterly and said, ”I’ve even lost my spirit root, how can I talk about restoring cultivation?”

”Do you think there’s truly such a mysterious method in this world that can strip someone of their spirit root?” The voice continued to laugh eerily, ”It’s only taken away your superficial spirit root. After a while, it’ll naturally recover.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yichen felt both joy and fear.

Joy because his spirit root is still there, not taken away.

Fear because he might really be possessed by this old monster.

”I have three unfulfilled wishes in this life; I hope that when the time comes, the senior will complete them for me...”

”...”

Ji Yuan returned to the long-missed Chulong Island.

Along the way, he passed by the room Ding 18, where he used to live. He glanced more than once, seeing a newcomer had moved in. The door was locked tight, so he didn’t rashly disturb them.

In short, words were left, and opportunities were left.

How far the other party can go depends on their skills.

When Ji Yuan finally crossed the familiar street and reached Du Wanyi’s doorstep, he looked up and his heart, previously tense, relaxed instantly.

The prohibition shimmered with light.

Indicating someone was inside.

Du Wanyi didn’t die in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven; she returned alive.

No matter if there were any gains, as long as the person returned alive, it’s good.

Ji Yuan took a step forward and gently knocked on the courtyard door, footsteps quickly sounded from within.

The door opened.

Seeing Ji Yuan outside, Du Wanyi’s beautiful peach blossom eyes immediately reddened, and her eyes even began to moisten.

”Fourth brother, I... I’m back.”

Though it’s been only over a year since they last met, Du Wanyi felt as if it had been a lifetime. The perils within the Nine Nether Cave Heaven would be etched in her memory forever.

”It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.”

Seeing Du Wanyi intact without any injuries, Ji Yuan once again breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming to All Things Island this time, Ji Yuan planned to gather some information, so he cast the Concealing Breath Spell and changed into a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple’s magic robe.

Thus, Du Wanyi didn’t perceive that he was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

”Come on in, come in and talk.”

Du Wanyi stepped aside, quickly urging.

”Hmm.”

Just as Ji Yuan stepped into the courtyard, Du Wanyi immediately closed the door and excitedly said, ”Fourth brother, you’d never guess, I picked a few strands of thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven this time!”

”Two strands?”

Ji Yuan speculated.

If it was one strand, Du Wanyi wouldn’t be so excited.

But more than that is unlikely.

”You... uh, alright, you guessed right.” Du Wanyi’s delight slightly faded, but she quickly grew excited again, ”Here, I’ll share one strand with you, and then we’ll both establish our foundation.”

Du Wanyi spoke as she retrieved a jade box from her storage bag.

She gently opened the jade box, revealing a spirit grass entirely deep blue.

”What, never seen this thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass? Quick, put it away.”

As Du Wanyi spoke, she held the jade box in front of Ji Yuan and shook it, indicating he should take it quickly.

Ji Yuan glanced at the thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass inside the jade box and then looked up at Du Wanyi before him, finally showing a trace of emotion in his otherwise calm eyes.

He had thought about Du Wanyi being generous to him, but he hadn’t imagined she’d be so generous.

This is a thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, and Du Wanyi only has two strands in total. Yet she’s willing to share one with him...

Indeed, in a reversal of roles, Ji Yuan felt he’d probably not reach such a step.

Seeing Ji Yuan continuously staring at her without speaking, Du Wanyi couldn’t help but panic, she stammered, ”If... if fourth brother wants to try establishing his foundation first, then I’ll give both strands to you first. Just... just after you establish your foundation, don’t forget to help... help me with mine.”

As she spoke, she took out a second jade box.

Before she could open the jade box, Ji Yuan had already dispersed the Concealing Breath Spell, releasing a unique aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from him.

Du Wanyi just looked up and was instantly stunned.

”Fourth brother, you...”

Looking at Ji Yuan, who was still just as he was, albeit with a different aura, Du Wanyi’s voice trembled slightly, ”You actually established your foundation...”

”Just luck.”

Ji Yuan finally smiled, he pushed back Du Wanyi’s hand, ”So these thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass strands, second sister, you should keep them for yourself.”

”Of course, if you want me to help you refine Foundation Establishment Pills, that’s fine, rest assured, I won’t charge.”

”Fourth brother, you can actually refine Foundation Establishment Pills?”

Du Wanyi felt today’s news... the impact on her was substantial. First, meeting her long-missed fourth brother, then her fourth brother established his foundation, and even the Foundation Establishment Pills were refined by him.

”Yes, and my skills are slightly better than others’. ”

Ji Yuan had learned during this period that, like other pill masters within the sect, refining Foundation Establishment Pills, being able to stably form three pills from a batch of materials is considered a Grandmaster.
