Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 572: Chapter 260: Gathering of Talented Figures, All Generations Assembled

”Master, I knew it!”

”Knew what? I bought it with Flower Spirit Stone.”

Hua Yaoyue said calmly, ”Ran Kui, clean this up and chop it, just right to go with the wine.”

”Yes.”

Among those present, only Ran Kui was a Golden Core Cultivator, able to withstand the aura of this Tier Four Demon Beast.

Ran Kui stood up and left, carrying the unknown Tier Four Demon Beast’s wings.

The oppressive aura gone, Ji Yuan felt entirely at ease.

Phoenix Peach looked suspiciously at Hua Yaoyue, wanting to ask more, but Yun Qianzai, holding chopsticks, suddenly chuckled.

”Heh, with nothing to do, we slice a Tier Four Demon Beast to go with the wine. Among heroes, only I, Yun Qianzai, is left in this world, who else?”

”Say one more word, and you’ll skip dinner.”

Hua Yaoyue sneered.

Yun Qianzai quickly lowered his head.

Using Tier Four Demon Beast meat as a drink snack, this opportunity was rare. Even if Yun Qianzai was foolish, he couldn’t miss it.

Knowing they could eat Tier Four Demon Beast meat soon, none of them rushed to use their chopsticks. They all waited eagerly.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and took the chance to ask, ”Master, are there many Tier Four Demon Beasts on Cangluo Continent?”

Upgrading a Level 3 building to Level 4 mostly requires a Tier Three Demon Pill.

But upgrading a Level 4 building to Level 5 generally requires a Tier Four Demon Pill.

For example, the ”Pigsty” requires three Tier Four Demon Pills.

”Not much, very few.”

Hua Yaoyue glanced at Ji Yuan and didn’t elaborate.

On the side, Phoenix Peach patiently explained, ”If a mid-Tier Four Demon Beast or higher survives a Transformation Thunder Tribulation, it can transform into human form, making it very hard to detect.”

”Those yet to endure the Transformation Thunder Tribulation usually have their own consciousness and will head to the far seas. Only after surviving the tribulation will they return to the continent.”

”So that’s how it is.”

If Tier Four Demon Pills are needed, it seems going abroad to hunt beasts is unavoidable... Ji Yuan was considering this when Hua Yaoyue added, ”Actually, you’ve met a Tier Four Demon Beast.”

”What? I’ve seen one too?”

In his mind, Ji Yuan quickly thought of the people he knew, trying to figure out who resembled a Tier Four Great Demon.

A shadow suddenly appeared in his thoughts.

”Mei Manor.”

Hua Yaoyue casually revealed the truth.

It also confirmed Ji Yuan’s thoughts.

Mei Manor, that old schemer, turned out to be a Tier Four Transformed Demon Beast!

No wonder they’ve lived so long, surviving from the Shang Court era to now.

”Mei Manor? Who is this?”

Phoenix Peach looked puzzled, never having heard the name, staring at Ji Yuan.

Though Yun Qianzai stayed silent, he felt the same.

Ji Yuan looked at Hua Yaoyue, who calmly said, ”Eat more meat if there’s nothing else, why bother with so much.”

”Master and Junior Brother have secrets now, hmph.”

Phoenix Peach pouted and turned her head, though her ears perked up.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to transmit his voice and ask, ”Master, what exactly is Mei Manor’s true form?”

”A Tier Four Demon Beast, Thunder Purple Luodiao, its speed is incredibly fast. His lasting survival is certainly related.”

Hua Yaoyue replied likewise through voice transmission.

...Thunder Purple Luodiao.

Ji Yuan murmured, ”From the name alone, it’s extraordinary.”

”What, planning to kill him?” Hua Yaoyue chuckled, ”His injuries should be healed by now. Whether he has further advanced, I don’t know, but if you want to fight him solo, with your current skills... A late-stage Nascent Soul could try, but if you have Divinity Transformation level strength, you could kill.”

”Of course, that’s assuming you’ve advanced, and he remains the same.”

Hua Yaoyue outlined a clear path.

Ji Yuan: ”...”

It appears Mei Manor’s current strength should be at least enough for the Nascent Soul stage now. Indeed, this old fossil is quite formidable.

As Ji Yuan was thinking, Ran Kui appeared carrying the chopped Tier Four Demon Beast wings.

”Here comes the delicious wings.”

Ran Kui shouted with laughter.

The plucked and chopped wings each weighed a few pounds, after eating them, no one would think of eating anything else.

Wings, Thunder Purple Luodiao... Ji Yuan seemed to think of something and quickly turned to Hua Yaoyue.

Hua Yaoyue guessed his thoughts and simply said, ”No.”

Ji Yuan felt relieved yet a little disappointed.

To cook this Tier Four Demon Beast, Ji Yuan’s small pot and fire weren’t enough.

Ran Kui acted again, taking out a cauldron from the Storage Bag, surprisingly a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact level cauldron, and used Wan You Island’s earthfire to simmer the meat.

The Tier Four Demon Beast meat was indeed extraordinary. After simmering for a while, a rich aroma spread.

Ji Yuan kept his eyes on the cauldron, not because he coveted it, but because occasionally, the phantom of a Tier Four Great Eagle would appear above the cauldron.

The simmer took two full hours.

But in the meantime, they didn’t idle, they opened another pot, continuing food and laughter.

Once the Tier Four Demon Beast meat was cooked, they began a hearty feast.

Holding a piece of mid-wing, Ji Yuan, after a few bites, found the meat dissolving inside him, spreading as pure Spiritual Qi, accompanied by a wave of Blood Qi.

This thing strengthens both the body and Spiritual Qi?!

Why didn’t the Tier Two and Three Tribulation Demon Beast meat I ate before have such an effect, is it due to the grade?

In that moment, it’s as if a wide road opened before Ji Yuan.

The path was to break through to Nascent Soul early and then head to the sea to slay Tier Four Demon Beasts... or if hiring other Nascent Souls with Flower Spirit Stone to fight for me, that’s even better.

The three of Ji Yuan didn’t eat for long before they were overwhelmed, the meat’s Spiritual Qi was too abundant, beyond what Foundation Establishment Cultivators could bear.

Ran Kui could still eat but not much.

The one who ate the most was Hua Yaoyue, the Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Seemingly unaffected at all.

After a satisfactory feast, the five of them sat relaxing in the pavilion.

Ji Yuan opened his panel, eyes fixed on the [Spirit Field].

Specifically, a spirit effect.

[Spirit Effect 2 (Spirit Pill Creation): Yield 1 Pill Essence Fruit every 10 years.]

Pill Essence Fruit, from the name, it seems related to Core Formation.

Ji Yuan’s cultivation had reached late-stage Foundation Establishment, it’s time to prepare for Core Formation.

He then spoke up, ”Previously in South Sea City, I overheard someone mention Pill Essence Fruit. Senior Brothers and Third Senior Sister, do you know of its effects?”
