Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 570: Chapter 260: Gathering of Talents, All Ages Assembled

...Master is not a fool, Master is an extremely intelligent person.

Ji Yuan’s expression of joy naturally turned into surprise, but this surprise was accompanied by some confusion.

”X-ray vision?”

”Nope.”

Ji Yuan said as he naturally invoked the PWoang Divine Eyes, first glancing at Hua Yaoyue, then shifting his gaze elsewhere without changing his expression, looking around before retracting the vertical eye, and saying with certainty:

”There’s indeed nothing.”

”Really nothing?”

Hua Yaoyue frowned and thought for a moment. She was sure she hadn’t misheard; she recalled hearing someone say that... the PWoang Divine Eyes had the ability to see through, which was why some evil-minded members of the Purple-eyed Race loved to stare at beautiful fairies.

But Ji Yuan’s reaction just now... if he hadn’t just invoked the PWoang Divine Eyes repeatedly to confirm, Hua Yaoyue might still have had a slight suspicion.

However, seeing Ji Yuan repeatedly confirm with his PWoang Divine Eyes, she was now even more perplexed.

”No, maybe only the PWoang Divine Eyes of the Purple-eyed Race can have the ability to see through. My half-baked PWoang Divine Eyes don’t have such miraculous effects.”

”That’s probably it.”

Hua Yaoyue nodded, half-believing.

”By the way, Master, look at this.”

Ji Yuan said as he opened his right hand, and a mass of ice-attributed Spiritual Qi appeared, swirling in his palm. His right hand then made a grasping motion, and an ice sword instantly formed.

... Ji Yuan was already planning to take the opportunity to ask Hua Yaoyue about switching to practicing ice magic, and it was also a good chance to divert her attention from the matter of seeing through.

Otherwise, if she kept digging into the matter of seeing through, it would be troublesome.

”Ice magic?”

Seeing this, Hua Yaoyue sat up slightly.

”Yes, this happened after I fell into that Ice and Fire Pool, but I also consumed a lot of Ice Soul Cold Dew before... there’s no problem, right?”

Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

”That’s fine, it’s normal. If there was an issue, you could continue consuming Ice Soul Cold Dew in the future, and all your Spiritual Qi could be transformed into ice-attributed Spiritual Qi, which would be a great benefit for you.”

After hearing this, Hua Yaoyue lay back down.

”As long as there’s no problem.”

Ji Yuan felt relieved and asked, ”Master, then why is my Spirit Root still a Water Spirit Root? Is it possible to transform it into an Ice Spirit Root?”

Hua Yaoyue gave him a look as if he were an idiot, then said, ”Changing your gender would be easier than transforming your Spirit Root.”

”What?”

”Haha.”

Hua Yaoyue couldn’t be bothered to explain, and Ji Yuan understood, so he didn’t dwell on the question.

”By the way, Master, where have the senior brothers gone? If they’re coming back soon, I’ll go ahead and prepare some food, since my culinary skills are better than those of my senior brothers and sisters.”

After retracting the PWoang Divine Eyes, Ji Yuan changed the subject for the second time.

The further he diverted the topic, the less likely Hua Yaoyue would delve into the matter of seeing through.

”I heard there was a group of Demon Cultivators appearing in the east, and Ran Kui took them to join in on the excitement. I’ve already had the sect send them a message by Flying Sword; they’ll definitely come back quickly after receiving it.”

”Alright, then I’ll go prepare the feast first.”

Ji Yuan said with a smile, ”It’s rare for our sect to gather like this; such a joyous occasion deserves a celebration.”

”Indeed.”

Hua Yaoyue nodded in rare agreement.

”Then I’ll go prepare the meal.” Ji Yuan said, intending to turn and leave, then suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back.

”Is there anything else?”

”Oh yes, Master, I’ve also recently understood a bit more from the ancient scrolls I obtained. From those, I learned about a Talisman called the Taiyi Xuanyang Talisman. Do you know how to draw it?”

The Taiyi Xuanyang Talisman is one of the materials needed to upgrade the Pigsty to level 5, and from its name, it’s clear that it must be related to the Taiyi Azure Light Talisman, both originating from the Taiyi Immortal Sect of the Desolate Ancient Continent.

It’s not easy for Ji Yuan to visit the Desolate Ancient Continent. Since he’s finally encountered Hua Yaoyue, he naturally needs to ask about it.

”The Taiyi Xuanyang Talisman?”

Hua Yaoyue furrowed her brow, then directly shook her head. ”This Talisman is a core inheritance of the Taiyi Immortal Sect; at least those who can enter their Ancestral Hall would know how to draw it. I can’t.”

Ji Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that upgrading the Pigsty to level 5 would require him to make a personal trip to the Desolate Ancient Continent?

There’s no helping it; it can’t be rushed. He can only take it one step at a time. Perhaps there will be another opportunity in the future.

”Alright then.”

This time, Ji Yuan really went to prepare for the feast. Speaking of preparation, it was actually quite simple, as most materials were already in his Storage Bag.

He just needed to activate the [Kitchen] building effect and stir-fry a few dishes.

Furthermore, with the ability to control the heat using Spiritual Qi, it became even more convenient.

Ji Yuan was preparing the meal, while Hua Yaoyue lay on a soft chair, gently swaying back and forth. As the mountain breeze blew, the wind chimes around echoed; her fingers drumming on the armrest to the rhythm.

Everything seemed so harmonious.

Unfortunately, the harmony between the master and disciple was short-lived, as they were soon interrupted.

A streak of white light flashed past, finally landing on a large boulder atop the mountain.

With his back to both Hua Yaoyue and Ji Yuan, he softly recited:

”At the peak of immortality, proud of the world, before the heavens... no, junior disciple, this tiger’s hind leg meat should be grilled; slicing it so thinly is a waste.”

Yun Qianzai, always a gourmet, couldn’t maintain his act when he saw Ji Yuan’s cooking method wasn’t to his taste.

Ji Yuan was familiar with the tastes of his second senior brother, who liked it heavy, spicy.

He loved barbecue with drinks.

”Don’t worry, Second Senior Brother, we’ll try a different method today, I assure you’ll like it.”
