Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 723: Chapter 309: Golden Core Body Cultivator!!!

This Spirit Vein before him is evidently much more aesthetically pleasing.

The stones have fewer sharp edges, the ground is extremely even, and on both sides of the Spirit Vein, countless Spirit Stones can be seen.

Some have already grown out, and can be picked off easily.

But more are still hidden within the stones, only revealing little glimmers, making Ji Yuan extremely tempted to take them.

What is this?

This is my future wealth!

After touring the entire Spirit Vein, Ji Yuan also entrusted the daily task of collecting Spirit Stones to Tu Yue.

Once the Spirit Vein was taken in, Ji Yuan considered it a major task accomplished in his heart.

At least, no matter how much he went into seclusion or got delayed in the future, he would no longer need to worry about a lack of basic resources.

After a while, he retreated from the Mountain of Mind and Heart, and then returned his Lifebound Magical Treasure to his Dantian.

The Thunder Shock Marsh was right ahead, so what should be done next?

Naturally, it was the matter of striving for a breakthrough.

Ji Yuan swept his Divine Sense over the Profound Sun Blood Amber in his Storage Bag, then swept around the mountains here.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to this place, he with one thought closed the array, then took a step and plunged into the Thunder Shock Marsh.

Under that purple curtain of lightning, Ji Yuan took a piece of Profound Sun Blood Amber from his Storage Bag and swallowed it, then step by step moved deeper into the Thunder Shock Marsh.

...

At the same time.

At the higher reaches of Ice and Fire Island, above the storm area, two figures stood amidst the clouds.

If Ji Yuan was here, he would surely recognize that one of them was his long-cherished old friend... Mei Manor.

Of course, Ji Yuan mostly thought about his Demon Pill.

Beside Mei Manor stood an elderly Daoist with crane hair and a youthful face, wearing a Daoist robe washed to the point of fading, arms folded behind him.

The two of them together watched as a huge tower ship flying boat passed through outside the storm area, heading straight south.

”Who would have thought that the one ultimately chosen to leave would be the Water Dragon Sect.”

Mei Manor exclaimed with a tsk.

”Leaving is nothing surprising, the surprising part is they somehow felt confident Taiyi Immortal Sect would accept them.”

The old Daoist said shaking his head, ”If Taiyi Immortal Sect doesn’t accept them, they’re just going to their deaths, but that old lady Kong Xifeng isn’t one to gamble lightly. Since she dares to take this road, she must have already contacted Taiyi Immortal Sect.”

”Speaking of which, Joy Palace also contacted me, wanting to retreat to Desolate Ancient Continent.”

Mei Manor suddenly mentioned.

”Why don’t you help them with that?”

The old Daoist laughed with a bit of implication.

”If I had such influence, would I still be fighting here in the small Cangluo Continent?”

Mei Manor retorted.

”And you, Spirit Communication Master, if you were willing to intervene, the situation wouldn’t have escalated so quickly.”

”At least Spirit Control Sect’s surrender should be reconsidered.”

Spirit Communication Master laughed after hearing this, stroking his beard.

”Oh, now you’re blaming me.”

Finally seeing Mei Manor wasn’t joking, Spirit Communication Master put away his playful demeanor.

”Then, tell me, what would happen if I got involved?”

”At least it wouldn’t be as bad as now.”

Mei Manor responded readily.

Spirit Communication Master immediately retorted: ”But it would all be futile, wouldn’t it?”

”Even if we worked together on Shang Dong’s side, we could at most intimidate Shangxi’s Nascent Soul cultivators, but in such a war, the Nascent Soul cultivators clearly don’t want to fight. The Gold Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators below can’t win, and the outcome won’t change, plus Jiyuan Continent remains a variable.”

”Mei Manor, you have more insight than anyone on many matters, yet on others, you see less clearly than anyone.”

Spirit Communication Master finished, shaking his head, and glanced at the tower ship flying boat that had completely departed, then said:

”It’s only because of a few hundred years of friendship with you that I say this much.”

If it were anyone else saying this, Mei Manor wouldn’t take it to heart, but since it’s Spirit Communication Master...

Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

He listened.

So he struggled before saying: ”I just can’t accept the legacy my older brother and sister-in-law left all falling into that lunatic woman’s hands.”

”You can’t accept it, and then what?”

Spirit Communication Master folded his hands within his sleeves, looking south, ”Do you think Kong Xifeng and the Water Dragon Sect’s Core Formation cultivators really want to leave their homes and wander far away?”

”Sometimes it’s not just about not accepting.”

”Sometimes you have to admit your own strength isn’t enough, like now; your skills are just inferior to that woman, so you are chased to Ice and Fire Island like a stray dog.”

Mei Manor clenched his fists, veins standing out on his forehead, but soon he suppressed these emotions.

Suddenly, he seemed to figure something out.

”Old ghost, do you have a plan?!”

Mei Manor suddenly turned to look at his old friend.

If there was no plan, this old ghost wouldn’t say these sarcastic words, just like he said, if there wasn’t a solution, nothing changes.

”Can’t call it a plan, just some ideas.”

Spirit Communication Master laughed, stroking his beard.

”Let’s hear it.”

”You’ve wandered through Cangluo Continent for years as a Nascent Soul cultivator, but you seem to have forgotten your true nature... you’re a demon, truly part of the Demon Race.”

Spirit Communication Master watched Mei Manor’s eyes brighten, ”You mingled with the human race’s cultivators, but truthfully, human thoughts are not simple, they’re too complex.”

”So you mean to go to the Endless Sea, consolidate the Demon Race, then counterattack Cangluo Continent and turn it into our Demon Race’s territory, right!”

Mei Manor said, fists clenched, his distracted gaze becoming focused.

”I didn’t say that.”

Spirit Communication Master chuckled, ”But when I was in closed-door training under the sea, some sea beasts mentioned that the Master of the Sea Ruins on Jiyuan Continent had passed away, and now is the time of leaderlessness.”

”Sea Ruins...”

Mei Manor muttered as he turned east, ”Well, seems it’s time to take a walk.”

He then withdrew his gaze, looked Spirit Communication Master up and down, and said with a half-smile:

”What benefit does stirring me up bring you, old ghost?”

Spirit Communication Master chuckled.

”You guess.”

”I won’t guess.”

Mei Manor shook his head, ”At least your proposal does align with my thoughts, though old ghost, I’m curious about one thing, how many of your avatars are currently in Cangluo Continent?”

Spirit Communication Master continued to laugh: ”Guess again.”

”I won’t guess.”

Mei Manor still shook his head, but suddenly seemed to realize something, ”By the way, I saw that Ice and Fire Elder recently, he seems a bit like you.”

”He’s not me.”

This time it was Spirit Communication Master’s turn to shake his head.

”Hehe.”

”... ”

The great sun cycles, day and night never cease.

The purple thunder fell year after year in the deeper Thunder Shock Marsh.

At this moment, deep within Thunder Shock Marsh, a robust man with bare upper body and disheveled hair was floating.

His form drifted in the air, and bolts of thick purple lightning struck him, yet he seemed to feel nothing at all.

Thunder Forging Body, he spread his hands open, sensing the infinite power within, eyes shining with unparalleled excitement.

”This is a physique that rivals Golden Core cultivators’ Bone Forging Realm?”

”The taste of power is truly wonderful!”

Ji Yuan said as he suddenly clenched his right hand, crushing thousands of lightning bolts.
