Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 548: Chapter 253: PWoang Divine Eyes!

...You damn dog, you don’t look like anything good.

Ji Yuan immediately unleashed his Divine Sense, causing the Soul Suppressing Bell to tremble slightly and emit golden light.

The soul-suppressing light quickly calmed the purple vertical eye.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense captured the purple vertical eye.

In an instant, he refined it.

Right away, he imprinted his own Divine Sense on the purple vertical eye.

In a flash, Ji Yuan found a connection, or rather, he finally gained control over the purple vertical eye!

He then realized that his vision now had an additional layer.

It was the view seen through the purple vertical eye on his brow.

Ji Yuan surveyed the surroundings, everything was shrouded in grey mist, except for the Ice and Fire Elder, who emitted a bright white light, signifying he was a cultivator... The brighter the light, the stronger the cultivation.

Information arose in Ji Yuan’s mind for no apparent reason.

He also learned the true name of the purple vertical eye.

”PWoang Divine Eyes!”

So the purple vertical eye was called PWoang Divine Eyes!

Damn, what an awe-inspiring name.

Ji Yuan used the PWoang Divine Eyes to blink, then started inspecting the foot of the mountain, and golden light curtains appeared in his view.

The light curtains were not very bright, only emitting a faint glow.

There were continuous patterns flowing above them, and Ji Yuan could vaguely see the weakest point on the light curtain.

This light curtain was the array here, something Ji Yuan naturally knew, but what surprised him was that the PWoang Divine Eyes could identify the weak points in a Tier Three array?!

Doesn’t that mean breaking an array would be as easy as a flick of the wrist?

Damn, are the PWoang Divine Eyes this powerful!

For a moment, Ji Yuan’s heart raced.

The Ice and Fire Elder stepped beside him, cheerfully explaining, ”No rush, once you reach the Core Formation Stage, you too will be able to see the arrays I’ve set up here through the purple eye.”

Core Formation Stage... only then can you see the arrays?

Then what does it mean that I can not only see arrays but also perceive their weak points?

Does it mean my eyes are just sharp?

Ji Yuan’s heart shook violently. He didn’t know if his Divine Soul was exceptionally strong or if he refined the PWoang Divine Eyes outside the Soul Suppressing Bell.

In any case, his control over the purple eye was certainly higher than that of the Ice and Fire Elder!

Because he could not only see through a Tier Three array now, but also know the true name of the purple eye... This must be kept secret.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and then smiled, ”It seems I’ve turned misfortune into fortune, though I’m not sure where the purple eye came from.”

”Regardless of its origin, as long as it’s useful.”

The purple eye in the Ice and Fire Elder’s brow blinked, then instantly closed and disappeared from his brow.

”Blessings from misfortune for sure, and your current Spiritual Qi likely has traces of the Water Technique? This effect is rare, considering you’re originally a Water Cultivator, once back you should have Li Gang help you gather some Water Techniques to cultivate.”

”But remember, the secrets of the purple vertical eye are too immense to disclose to others.”

Ji Yuan quickly nodded.

”Don’t worry, elder, my lips are sealed.”

...Hmm, maybe just tell Hua Yaoyue when I get back.

She is my dearest mentor, how can she be considered someone else?

”Alright, since there’s nothing else, let’s head back.”

Perhaps due to shared experiences, or Ji Yuan helping the Ice and Fire Elder resolve his internal confusion, the Ice and Fire Elder’s gaze softened significantly when he looked at Ji Yuan.

”Alright.”

Ji Yuan originally thought the Ice and Fire Elder would take him to the Imperial Palace, but unexpectedly, they returned to the same courtyard as before.

Ye Zhiqiu was still waiting here and ran out upon hearing sounds from outside.

”Greetings, elder. Greetings, young master.”

The Ice and Fire Elder just said ”Hmm” and headed towards his room.

Ji Yuan looked at his back, hesitating to speak.

He hadn’t forgotten that one of his purposes for this trip was to trade with the Ice and Fire Elder for the spinal bone of the Three-eyed Dark Beast, but given the Ice and Fire Elder’s current demeanor...

It’s likely the trade won’t succeed.

Forget it, it’s better to wait until the other Ice and Fire Elder appears.

It was unclear how often they switch.

”Wait a bit, he’ll be out tomorrow.”

The Ice and Fire Elder noticed Ji Yuan’s hesitation and guessed his thoughts, then waved his hand and entered his room.

Ji Yuan respectfully bowed toward his back and then returned to his own room.

With Ye Zhiqiu here, Ji Yuan couldn’t study the newly acquired PWoang Divine Eyes, so he continued to delve into the ”Sword Manual.” The current urgency still lies in increasing his cultivation.

”Young Master Li, I...”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ji Yuan who was seated on the mat, seemingly focused only on cultivation, hesitating.

”Speak.”

Ji Yuan opened his eyes.

”I want to leave early... The events that occurred on the patrol whale boat will not remain hidden for long. Once the Luo Family knows, they’ll definitely come to Ice and Fire Island to investigate. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for me to leave.”

This was the conclusion Ye Zhiqiu reached after deep thought for the past two days.

Since ”Li Changshou” was unwilling to accept her, everything could only rely on herself, so escaping from here as soon as possible this morning was the right path.

”You plan to leave on a Night-blooming Jade Boat?”

”Yes.”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

”Alright, I’ll go inform the elder and ask him to let you out.”

Ji Yuan didn’t hinder her, and stood up after speaking.

Ye Zhiqiu deeply bowed to him, then solemnly said, ”I will never forget the life-saving grace, if Young Master Li ever requires, just let me know.”

”My life as Ye Zhiqiu’s will always be yours, Young Master Li.”

”No need to be so serious.”

Ji Yuan chuckled, trusting but also not.

He approached the door and slightly bowed towards the Ice and Fire Elder’s room, ”Elder, my fellow cultivator needs to leave early due to some business, I’d kindly ask for your permission.”

Ye Zhiqiu bowed as well from behind.

”Go ahead.”

The Ice and Fire Elder’s voice came from within the room, followed by a visible opening appearing in the sky.

It was obvious to the Ice and Fire Elder that Ye Zhiqiu was not Ji Yuan’s servant.

Ye Zhiqiu looked up at it and then bowed to Ji Yuan, ”Young Master Li, I take my leave.”

After speaking, she called forth a green Flying Sword, leaping onto it, and controlling the sword to ascend and depart.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan also prepared to leave, but at that moment he heard the sound of a door opening from the Ice and Fire Elder’s courtyard, turning his head to look.

Only to see Ice and Fire Zhenren, draped in fiery dragon robes, emerge, laughing grandly:

”Congratulations, dear nephew, on receiving a great opportunity!”
