Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 737: Chapter 314: Reunion with an Old Friend

Although he had already parted ways with Hua Yaoyue, brewing wine... had become a habit for Ji Yuan. He was even thinking about what kind of wine to present to her next time they met.

Next was the Spirit Field, which was also a good thing, and Ji Yuan dared not waste it.

The production of the ”Pill Essence Fruit” was still nowhere in sight.

However, the Corpse Puppet collecting the welfare here was not Tu Yue.

This place was unsafe; if a Core Formation cultivator happened to notice and break in while Ji Yuan was away, this Corpse Puppet could be in danger.

Such a risky task could not be left to Tu Yue, so Ji Yuan placed the old woman, Chu Wu, who was at the Peak of Qi Refining, here.

All she needed to do was collect the welfare daily, very simple.

As for Tu Yue, she should obediently stay at the Mountain of Mind and Heart and just pick up Spirit Stones daily.

As for concealing living people, Ji Yuan had tried secretly by placing the Cave Mansion outside and having someone stay inside.

Finally, attempting to use the Mountain of Mind and Heart to collect the Cave Mansion.

The result was unsuccessful.

Chickens and pigs could be stored, but not living people.

For now, only Ji Yuan could enter himself.

Perhaps the Grotto Heaven’s level wasn’t high enough; once the building’s level improves, it should be able to store living people in the Cave Mansion and then place the Cave Mansion into the Dantian.

That would be the perfect time for a secret romance.

For now, he could only honestly do the work.

Ji Yuan took the Storage Bag from the Corpse Puppet’s hand, transferred the contents to his own bag, and then entered the Scripture Pavilion within the Cave Mansion for cultivation and comprehending the cultivation technique.

Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual

Proficiency: 96/100

Ji Yuan glanced at the text on the wall; he was very close to understanding the path of Condensing Pill, yet it became increasingly difficult.

Even with the dual assistance of the Scripture Pavilion and Enlightenment Room, increasing his cultivation technique proficiency by just one point would take one to two months now.

The level of the Enlightenment Room was still not sufficient.

Only level 2, and it could only increase comprehension by 30%.

Not good enough, not good enough.

It’s certainly not because his comprehension is too low; it’s just that the building’s level is insufficient.

But if upgrading this Enlightenment Room...

Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×600; Tier Three Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Demon Pills, one each; Transparent Fruit Tree Branch, one piece. (Unfulfilled)

Ji Yuan could gather the Spirit Stones and Demon Pills now.

But as for the Transparent Fruit Tree, there had been no clues.

Ji Yuan previously asked Li Changhe, who said the last Transparent Fruit Tree on Cangluo Continent had died out ten thousand years ago.

Hua Yaoyue also mentioned that there were no Transparent Fruit Trees on Cangluo Continent.

He could only wait until he reached Extreme Abyss Continent to see if there were any news.

He had already reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment in cultivation, and after some cultivation, several months passed.

When Ji Yuan opened his eyes again, he saw the number on the wall had jumped from 96 to 97.

It instantly lifted his mood.

This way of cultivation, where the progress bar was visible, truly brought joy.

Therefore, after exiting seclusion, he didn’t delay further and hurriedly left the isolated island after collecting the welfare.

Returning this time was naturally to continue hunting Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The last time he went to Water Dragon Sect’s territory, he had gained some reputation.

Of course, it was mainly because finding solitary Foundation Establishment cultivators was becoming more difficult.

So Ji Yuan planned to head further south this time and check out the territory of Joy Palace.

Joy Palace had just fallen, and the territory was in chaos; there might be good hunting opportunities.

”Also, maybe I can buy some corpses. Blood Luo Mountain is strong, but surely they can’t extend their reach this far?”

With this thought.

Ji Yuan slightly swayed in mid-air, transforming from his blue robe to a black robe.

Then accelerated again, a streak of black Escape Light flashed, and he disappeared from his original spot.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already a month after Ji Yuan arrived in Joy Palace’s territory, within a small tavern of a celestial city called Peony City.

He sat in the corner, drinking wine, while slightly releasing his Divine Sense to gather news from around.

Before long, he heard the content he wanted.

”Have you heard recently? There’s an ’Old Demon Chou’ in our area, extremely ruthless; even the three heroes of Mo Family fell at his hands.”

The three heroes of Mo Family, presumably, were the three Foundation Establishment cultivators he killed that day. The highest cultivation among them was only Peak of Foundation Establishment, nothing challenging.

Ji Yuan picked up his wine and took a gentle sip.

”Hah, what Old Demon Chou, just a righteous path, specifically targeting us Demon Cultivators.”

”Brother Duan, you are mistaken; he even kills cultivators from Joy Palace and Medicine King Valley without any hesitation.”

”What? Righteous path also killed? That’s indeed a bit wicked.”

”...”

Ji Yuan drank another sip of his wine, shaking his head.

It’s like savoring wine, though he was actually responding to that person.

Although he had killed many cultivators from Medicine King Valley and Joy Palace, those he killed... were actually no different from Demon Dao.

Committing countless evil acts without any cultivation boundaries.

Taking the female cultivator from Joy Palace he killed recently, she even found pleasure in torturing the other during harvesting.

Such a cultivator, what’s the point in keeping them?

Of course, Ji Yuan sent her to the West with a sword.

However, after listening for so long, Cangluo Continent seemed to have no major events occurring.

Still much like before.

The most curious arrivals from the Extreme Abyss Continent for Ji Yuan, had no news flowing out.
