Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 413: Chapter 210: ”I, Feng Yichen... Have Finally Returned!

The Isle Master Tie Chui himself is a Tier Two Top-grade Artifact Refiner, who at most can only craft top-grade spiritual artifacts.

Thus, the content Ji Yuan is currently browsing is actually what Tie Chui left behind shortly before his death. It seems he was already prepared to pass on this ”Artifact Crafting Manual” to others... Beside the recorded content, he has left small, meticulous notes as annotations.

Like beside the ”Spiritual Energy Cannon,” there’s a note.

”The Spiritual Energy Cannon is mostly used by cities on mountain edges and riverbanks to resist beast tides.”

”I acquired the method of refining this by chance; once successfully crafted, its power is immense, capable of allowing those in Foundation Establishment to potentially kill a Gold Core cultivator.”

”I was greatly pleased, but after thoroughly understanding the method, I discovered that the cannon is extremely difficult to refine and requires the earnest collaboration of both artifact refiners and array masters to have any chance of successful crafting.”

”This method is too difficult, thus I stop here.”

Foundation Establishment capable of killing Gold Core?

This must be an incredibly fierce Spiritual Energy Cannon, and the Gold Core likely must stand still, allowing the cannon to bombard it, otherwise even just the escape light of the Gold Core Realm wouldn’t be something this cannon could contend with.

Ji Yuan is no longer the ant that first stepped into the Immortal Sect; now, he is... a big ant!

He naturally understands all these intricacies clearly.

The Isle Master Tie Chui likely meant to express that the Spiritual Energy Cannon can exhibit the power of a Golden Core Zhenren, meaning its firing is like an attack from a Golden Core Zhenren.

Thus, it has the potential to kill a Gold Core.

Indeed, this power is already considered immense.

But Ji Yuan’s thoughts don’t end here; he wonders if the Spiritual Energy Cannon is considered architecture... if it’s architecture, then it can be upgraded.

If a Level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon can unleash the damage of a Golden Core Zhenren, potentially killing one, then what about a Level 20 Spiritual Energy Cannon?

Wouldn’t it be reasonable for me to destroy this small Cangluo Island with one shot?

At this thought, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but excitedly rub his hands, eager to manually create a ”Spiritual Energy Cannon” and see whether it qualifies as architecture, and if it can be leveled up.

But glancing at the ”Artifact Crafting Manual” lying on the table instantly calmed him down a lot.

Without reason, wanting to craft this ”Spiritual Energy Cannon.”

The path of artifact refining requires at least Tier Two Top-grade proficiency, meaning one must be skilled at crafting top-grade spiritual artifacts, and array mastery also requires the same level.

For Ji Yuan, his accomplishments in arrays are likely adequate.

After all, with guidance from Senior Brother... Second Senior Brother, plus support from the Enlightenment Room and Array Room, Ji Yuan’s progress in arrays is indeed fairly good.

But the art of artifact refining is still lacking quite a bit.

Additionally, artifact refining is unmatched; just igniting the furnace once to refine a single top-grade magical artifact takes several days.

Like previously when Isle Master Tie Chui crafted a mid-grade spiritual artifact, for example, the Scarlet Blood Tripod Cauldron in Ji Yuan’s storage bag.

The crafting time is measured in years at least.

To improve... you can only slowly grind with time.

Thus, with this thought, Ji Yuan plans to ask around to see if he can buy a Spiritual Energy Cannon, after all, he doesn’t lack spirit stones, that much is feasible.

The first person he thinks to inquire is naturally Young Master Li.

However, no response was received from the transmission, indicating he’s not within the Water Dragon Sect.

Ji Yuan thus has to settle for the next best option and sends a transmission to Phoenix Peach.

Currently at the peak of Foundation Establishment, she is now considered a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator within the Water Dragon Sect, knowing more compared to others.

”Senior Sister, are you in the sect? I have a matter to ask.”

Ji Yuan sends the message over, and soon receives a reply.

”You’re on Wuyou Island, right? I’ll come over to find you.”

Phoenix Peach’s actions are still as swift and decisive.

Ji Yuan can only say that he’s there.

Approximately half a day later, riding a fiery red flying boat and clad in a bright red long dress, Phoenix Peach hovers outside Ji Yuan’s Wuyou Island. Perhaps due to her imposing manner.

This leads both Dong Qian and Du Wanyi, on the left and right, to venture outside to investigate.

Ji Yuan hurriedly opens the island’s array to allow Phoenix Peach inside.

But unexpectedly, the first words Phoenix Peach says upon seeing him are.

”Little Junior Brother, no wonder you don’t come looking for me much; you seem to have quite the romantic fortune.”

Ji Yuan: ”...”

”One on the left, one on the right, watched me with a gaze that’s not very kind, tsk tsk tsk, no way, I have to go talk to Master.”

Phoenix Peach’s sarcastic tone forces Ji Yuan to open his mouth to explain:

”They’re all friends, Senior Sister, don’t misunderstand.”

”Friends? Then I count as your friend too?”

Phoenix Peach crosses her arms, lifting the abyss to approach him, and though she’s not tall, needs to raise her head to br>hold Ji Yuan’s expression.

Unlike Dong Qian and Du Wanyi’s personalities, Phoenix Peach’s temperament... is full of aggression.

Under her gaze, Ji Yuan admits defeat and quickly changes the subject.

”I want to ask Senior Sister, where can I buy a Spiritual Energy Cannon?”

”Ha?”

Even Phoenix Peach, who was just staring at him, is surprised by his question.

”Spiritual Energy Cannon?”

”What do you want this thing for, are you thinking of attacking our Water Dragon Sect?”

”This... Senior Sister, please don’t joke.”

Ji Yuan turns to lead Phoenix Peach into the house, chuckling helplessly.

”No, this Spiritual Energy Cannon is typically used for city defense, and it must be a large city, like the Coastal City to the east or Yulan City to the west. Only such large cities would install Spiritual Energy Cannons for handling potentially erupting beast tides, you can’t use this thing.”
