Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 412: Chapter 209: Spiritual Energy Cannon

As soon as Dong Qian’s message ended, Han Feiyu’s communication arrived.

”Junior Brother Ji, how come it’s not ready yet? I’ve already gotten here from afar.”

”Coming, coming.”

Ji Yuan replied to each message and hurriedly maneuvered the Sky Raider Flying Boat to leave Wuyou Island.

Ji Yuan and Han Feiyu last met more than half a year ago.

At that time, Ji Yuan was gathering information on Mount Shui Island and happened to encounter Han Feiyu meeting friends on the island, but they only exchanged brief greetings without detailed conversation.

And now Han Feiyu has increasingly displayed the demeanor of a ”Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple.”

He wore a black magic robe of top-grade spiritual artifact level, and the flying boat under his feet was also pure black, with a fierce wolf’s head at the bow, adding a certain majesty.

Even his face looked more resolute than before, exuding an air of authority without anger.

Ji Yuan respected but did not enjoy contact, which was why he had been staying away from Han Feiyu.

Today the three had arranged to meet Du Wanyi; otherwise, Ji Yuan would not have interacted with him.

”Brother Han.”

Ji Yuan maneuvered the Sky Raider Flying Boat forward, smiling with cupped fists in greeting.

Controlling a low-grade flying spiritual artifact, and only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment, he appeared to be a subordinate in front of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Han Feiyu.

Ji Yuan was happy to keep a low profile and not draw attention.

Even though he slayed two early-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivators outside Lishui City a few years ago, that matter gradually faded from memory.

After all, with so many topics, people wouldn’t keep bringing up just one person.

”Junior Brother Ji.”

Han Feiyu looked Ji Yuan up and down, his gaze... slightly complex but fleeting. He soon let out a hearty laugh.

”Junior Sister Dong has also arrived, let’s go meet Junior Sister Du first.”

Han Feiyu led the way.

Ji Yuan and Dong Qian exchanged glances, gave a slight nod, which counted as a greeting.

After a cup of tea’s time.

The four, who hadn’t seen each other in a while, finally gathered again on Taian Island.

Looking at Du Wanyi, whom he hadn’t seen for years, Ji Yuan felt a bit of joy.

The three naturally presented congratulatory gifts to Du Wanyi upon her return to the sect; Ji Yuan offered a set of Five Elements Protective Talisman Array, not very expensive but not cheap either, while Dong Qian provided some Tier Two Elixirs for strengthening foundation and nourishing vitality.

Han Feiyu... he gave a mid-grade attack spiritual artifact.

It’s undeniably valuable.

Du Wanyi dared not accept it, but in the end, Han Feiyu insisted she take it.

The group exchanged pleasantries, and inevitably, the conversation turned to the disorder caused by demon cultivators, mostly narrated by Du Wanyi.

She was recounting the difficulties she faced while guarding Yulan City to her friends.

Especially during several attacks on the city by the demon dao, she had even resolved to die, yet unexpectedly survived.

Han Feiyu mentioned that next time she encountered any problems, she could ask him for help, conclusively asserting himself as an elder brother figure.

As they chatted further, they inevitably touched on the subject of Yao Jingfeng’s death.

After Dong Qian calmly recounted the event, Du Wanyi became somewhat unsettled.

Among them, she had known Yao Jingfeng the longest, with whom she had the best relationship during their time in the Cloud Rain Marsh.

”Character determines one’s immortal path, his nature was inherently hypocritical, and failing Foundation Establishment is expected.”

Han Feiyu wasn’t surprised.

Du Wanyi, after hearing about Yao Jingfeng’s cause of death, took a deep breath following a brief silence, and said, ”Early on, during the struggle for the Spirit Vein in Liancheng Mountain, didn’t he visit Liancheng Mountain once and then return?”

Ji Yuan thought about it, indeed that happened.

After returning, he became like an old man.

”I remember, what of it?”

Dong Qian recalled and asked.

Du Wanyi bitterly chuckled before saying, ”Actually, back then, he was doing well at Liancheng Mountain, he was later expelled for stealing a senior brother’s treasure.”

”Such a thing happened.”

Ji Yuan was slightly surprised, as Du Wanyi never mentioned this to him.

”It’s already happened before, serves him right for dying.”

Han Feiyu shook his head, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further.

As the group chatted a bit more, Han Feiyu raised the idea of leaving.

However, as they were about to part, Han Feiyu seemed to recall something, turned to Ji Yuan, and asked, ”Junior Brother Ji, are you free in a few days?”

If I say I’m free, what if you ask me to work?

If I say I’m not free, what if you invite me to dinner...? Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate and replied with a slight smile, ”My Senior Sister Fire Phoenix arranged for me to go slay demons, I have to leave early tomorrow.”

”Then forget it, take this.”

Han Feiyu finished speaking and tossed a Communication Talisman into Ji Yuan’s hand, then turned and summoned his flying boat to leave.

While Ji Yuan was puzzled, Han Feiyu’s voice echoed in his mind, joyfully saying, ”My Senior Sister Yun mentioned you a few days ago. I said I happened to be from the same hometown as you... I was thinking of arranging a gathering.”

”But since Junior Brother has busy matters, forget it. This is Senior Sister Yun’s Communication Talisman, you may contact privately.”

Senior Sister Yun... Ji Yuan was momentarily stunned before recalling who Han Feiyu referred to.

It was the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Isle Master of Cloud Mist, who had worked with him on the Spirit Vein of Liancheng Mountain.

She was the second disciple of Master Xuan Shui, essentially Han Feiyu’s direct senior sister.

What Han Feiyu just said, though hard for Ji Yuan to believe, was quite clear... he was hinting at matchmaking.

The Isle Master of Cloud Mist wants to become my Dao partner?

This sounds suspiciously off.

Ji Yuan contemplated, unable to destroy the Communication Talisman as doing so would alert the Isle Master of Cloud Mist, so he could only keep it in the Storage Bag, unread and unreturned.

Afterward, Ji Yuan returned to Wuyou Island.

He wasn’t in a rush to begin refining, instead flipping through the ”Artifact Refining True Guide.”

He had read most of the thick book, estimating that after finishing the sections on mid-grade spiritual artifacts, he would move on to top-grade spiritual artifacts.

He flipped through a few more pages until a peculiar top-grade spiritual artifact caught his eye.

This top-grade spiritual artifact was named...
