Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 574: Chapter 261: Plotting Core Formation

Ji Yuan first glanced at Hua Yaoyue, hoping for some rescue.

But unfortunately, Hua Yaoyue was lost in thought and didn’t respond.

He had no choice but to smile sheepishly, ”A little bit, just a little bit.”

Of course, if you ask the reason, it’s all due to my own efforts.

Plus a little insignificant help from the Enlightenment Room and Celestial Craft Square.

Ran Kui: ”...”

Yun Qianzai: ”...”

Phoenix Peach: ”...So junior brother, you asked if I was from the Pill Hall, is there something you need?”

”Yes, I need a bit of Dan Yang Soil, I wonder if the Pill Hall sells it?”

Ten pounds of Dan Yang Soil, aside from a big place like the Water Dragon Sect’s Pill Hall, it’s impossible for small workshops to acquire it.

After all, it’s just so little residue from one furnace of wasted pills, how many failed ones would it take to gather ten pounds?

”Yes, how much do you need? I’ll help you apply for it.”

”Not much, just ten pounds.”

”Uh....”

Phoenix Peach’s smile froze on her face.

The thing about Dan Yang Soil is it’s rare, Phoenix Peach assumed Ji Yuan only needed a few ounces, or even a pound. She could ask a few friends to gather it.

But unexpectedly, Ji Yuan asked for ten pounds outright.

Ten pounds of Dan Yang Soil, the Water Dragon Sect doesn’t even produce that much in a year. After all, it requires a Tier Two Alchemist to ”produce” this Dan Yang Soil.

”Junior brother, you need so much Dan Yang Soil, what for, to grow vegetables?”

Ran Kui was also a bit surprised, Dan Yang Soil is full of intense yang fire energy, not something commonly needed.

”Ah this... yes.”

Ji Yuan didn’t explain further.

Hua Yaoyue, who was lying down, casually said, ”Phoenix Peach, tell your Uncle-Master Xuanxiao that I, Hua Yaoyue, need it; he’ll give it to you. Then take it directly to your junior brother.”

”Yes.”

Since Hua Yaoyue spoke, there would naturally be no problem.

Ji Yuan deeply bowed to Hua Yaoyue.

”Disciple thanks Master.”

With the hardest-to-get Dan Yang Soil, upgrading the Spirit Field is a certainty.

Once the Spirit Field reaches Level 4, my path to Core Formation will be smooth sailing.

Worst case, just wait a few more decades.

Being young, waiting decades isn’t a big issue.

In a way, my Golden Core is thanks to Hua Yaoyue paving the way.

...Now this is a true mentor!

After this matter, Phoenix Peach looked at Ran Kui, asking, ”Senior brother, why don’t you stay a bit longer with us, accompany Master and junior brother?”

”This...”

Ran Kui turned to look at Hua Yaoyue, then at Ji Yuan, unsure how to respond.

Yun Qianzai calmly said, ”Senior brother has formed a Golden Core, lifespan of 500 years, but the weight of our sect in his heart doesn’t even add up to a year.”

”As expected from our great senior brother.”

Phoenix Peach angrily said, ”They all have a senior brother, except us. No wonder we often get bullied.”

”Bullied?! I’ll see who dares!”

Initially silent, Ran Kui stood up angrily, his Golden Core aura radiating, even Ji Yuan felt slight pressure.

”Third junior sister, you tell me, who bullied you? I’ll go teach them a lesson, show them what it means to have two Golden Cores in one sect!”

Ran Kui said indignantly.

And indeed, he was right.

Among the many Golden Core disciples of the Water Dragon Sect, he’s probably the first to form a Core.

Even Cloud Abyss Zhenren’s senior disciple Rou Yi and Master Xuanxiao’s senior disciple Isle Master of Zhaoyang, Xiao Chengyi, have yet to form a Core.

Of course, Ran Kui’s early Core Formation owes much to surviving countless life-threatening situations on Shang Mountain.

Seeing Ran Kui genuinely angry, Phoenix Peach dared not speak further and passed the responsibility to Ji Yuan.

”Ask junior brother, he’s often bullied.”

With eyes wide like an ox, Ran Kui looked at Ji Yuan, ”Junior brother, tell me.”

”...With Master around, who dares to bully us.”

Ji Yuan said helplessly, ”We just hoped senior brother could stay and keep us and Master company.”

Ran Kui’s imposing manner finally eased, he looked around, eventually said in a gruff voice, ”Then I’ll stay in the sect for a year, I’ll leave in a year.”

Phoenix Peach was about to express joy when Ran Kui added, ”Since it’s like this, starting tomorrow, second, third, and fourth junior brothers and sisters, follow me for training. Master has no time, I’ll guide you personally.”

”Ah?”

Phoenix Peach’s face fell, then quickly said, ”I need to go ask for Dan Yang Soil for junior brother, I have to leave first.”

Ji Yuan followed, ”I have to go to the Thousand Mechanism Hall to submit a task, I’ll visit Master next time, disciple takes my leave.”

With that, he left alongside Phoenix Peach.

Yun Qianzai then leisurely got up, shook his sleeves, and lightly said, ”I’m Isle Master Tianshu, who can stop me?”

”I can try.”

Ran Kui chuckled darkly.

”Take it outside.”

Hua Yaoyue didn’t even bother to look.

From the beginning, these junior brothers have been like this since they joined, no need to say the result, every time Yun Qianzai ended up battered and bruised.

Now that Ran Kui has successfully formed a Core, while Yun Qianzai is still at Fake Core Cultivation, no matter how proficient he is in Array, it only means more beatings.

After Ji Yuan and Phoenix Peach left Wan You Island, they flew shoulder to shoulder westward.
