Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 365: Chapter 194: Divine Soul Technique Acquired

Under a certain muddy swamp in the Ghost Seeking Cave, Ye Zhiqiu, covered in mud, felt a bit startled upon hearing this sound.

’Qiu Qianhai... he was actually caught by the Blood Demon?’

A thought flashed in his mind, and Ye Zhiqiu immediately sprang out of the swamp, his figure resembling a wild wolf as he quickly sped away close to the ground.

Only some mud fell along the way, without leaking any trace of his presence.

Better him than me.

No matter what.

The priority is to escape first.

As for Qiu Qianhai, it depends on his fate.

Even if Ye Zhiqiu wanted to help, he was powerless to do so.

However, deep down, she somewhat hoped that the demon cultivator called Qiu Qianhai would escape, considering they had worked together before.

At this moment, he was still entangled with the Blood Demon, giving her the opportunity to flee.

...

Ji Yuan was experiencing the effects of the Sky Raider Shuttle for the first time.

It was only after experiencing it that he understood why Hu Li could escape so effortlessly back then.

No reason other than the fact that the effect is so damn strong!

Saying it moves like the wind and electricity is no exaggeration; it is even faster than the speed when Hua Yaoyue took him to ride the escape light, much faster!

Truly commendable for refining a flying treasure into a Lifebound Flying Treasure.

The painstaking effort spent to refine such a Lifebound Flying Treasure surely lives up to its reputation... Ji Yuan sensed the fleeting scenery around him and continually marveled.

The Talisman Treasure Sky Raider Shuttle took him flying northward for about half an hour before it stopped, and Ji Yuan seamlessly transitioned to the Sky Boat to continue northward.

He scanned the current location, then took out a map to compare for a while.

Only then did he confirm that the half-hour flight of the Sky Raider Shuttle was equivalent to nearly ten days of his own flying.

’No wonder even Li Changhe at the Peak of Foundation Establishment was thoroughly impressed with this flying treasure.’

Ji Yuan glanced at the Storage Bag again.

At present, inside his Storage Bag, there was still a completely intact Sky Raider Shuttle talisman treasure.

Capable of three uses.

It was a gift from Li Changhe during his visit to the Li Family, and the one he just used was the second-hand product given when he saved Li Changhe’s life.

Only one last use left.

’This is a good item; in the future, if I get the chance, I must find more, or have Li Changhe make the connection so I can buy it with Flower Spirit Stones myself.’

’What I’m buying is not just a talisman treasure; it’s clearly my own life.’

Yet, thinking of how he had to use two talisman treasures when dealing with Ma Xingkong, leaving the Sky Raider Chain with only one last use... Ji Yuan felt somewhat distressed.

’If the contents of your Storage Bag don’t equal the value of those two talisman treasures, next time I return to the Ghost Seeking Cave, I’ll dig up your grave!’

However, Ji Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to check Ma Xingkong’s Storage Bag.

Instead, he first used a Transformation Talisman to change his appearance and aura, then took out a Spirit Stone to begin replenishing his depleted Dantian.

Having used two talisman treasures consecutively earlier, even he, a cultivator at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, felt the strain; the spiritual qi depletion was too significant.

Ji Yuan, while recovering the spiritual qi in his Dantian, reminisced about the encounter with the Yin Ghost Sect members.

This inevitably reminded him of his previous experience with the Ghost Island Master.

He had to admit that the conduct of these two Yin Ghost Sect members... was somewhat similar.

Initially, they called like they were siblings, but then turned face and wanted to attack.

The end result was him successfully countering and killing them.

What is this supposed to mean?

”Brotherly and respectful Yin Ghost Sect?”

Hey, it really rolls off the tongue.

However, on closer thought, it’s understandable why the Ghost Island Master hurried to recognize the relationship, wanting to obtain the non-existent inheritance from him.

Because he originally came from the Cloud Rain Marsh, a place dubbed the ”slums of the cultivation realm,” impoverished and incredibly resource-scarce.

He gained the method of cultivating Yin Ghosts from the Yin Ghost Sect’s inheritance.

Plus, the Yin Ghost Array, a weapon deemed invincible in Cloud Rain Marsh.

After tasting the benefits of the Yin Ghost Sect’s inheritance, naturally, he aimed to acquire more, so his eagerness to attack was still understandable.

But what about Ma Xingkong?

He was already at Late-stage Foundation Establishment; logically, he shouldn’t be in such a hurry, skipping even the pretense.

Barely any talk after meeting, he already wanted to attack.

Considering if it were Ji Yuan, he would either ambush directly upon meeting.

Otherwise, he would befriend, allowing relations to develop, then gradually scheme for gains.

The first method is risky, the latter is safer, and might even yield greater rewards.

But regardless of which, it wouldn’t be like Ma Xingkong, who seeks to befriend, yet immediately wants to act.

After pondering, Ji Yuan’s mind concluded with only one idea and conclusion.

That is, the inheritance Ma Xingkong received from the Yin Ghost Sect is indeed powerful!

Thus, upon encountering him, he hurriedly sought to seize the portion of inheritance he possessed.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to endure even a little while, right?

At this thought, Ji Yuan nearly decided to check Ma Xingkong’s Storage Bag immediately... the thought surfaced and became impossible to suppress.

Nonetheless, Ji Yuan restrained himself to fully recover before he searched for a deserted mountain range nearby.

The Sky Boat swooped down into it, and with a sweep of Divine Sense, he found a cave, casually killed the winter-hibernating black bear inside with a sword swipe, and used a few small spells to clean the cave thoroughly.

[Cave Mansion]opened.

The Star Spiral Cloud Barrier was activated, fog engulfing all directions, causing the entire mountain range to vanish within the mist.
