Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 799 - 333: Spirit Effect of Level 4 [Chaotic Burial Mound]

Is it that the Thousand Souls Banner didn’t break through, but the Yin Ghost Banner did?

Ji Yuan formed a sword finger with his right hand, water-blue light swirling around his fingertips, and lightly flicked forward.

”Appear!”

Within the Chaotic Burial Mound ahead, two dark shadows suddenly erupted from the earth. As soon as they appeared, a strong Yin wind swept through the entire cave, swirling around.

Accompanied by a rising black mist, just like the previous appearance of the Chaotic Burial Mound’s structure.

However, the structure was limited to just the building above. At this moment, the black mist generated by these two Yin Ghosts filled the entire cave.

”The effect of the Yin Ghost Array has indeed strengthened significantly.”

”Including these two Yin Ghosts, they’ve both reached the Fake Pill Realm. It seems this upgrade truly paid off!”

Ji Yuan looked at the two Yin Ghosts before him, whose eyes were becoming increasingly blood-red, and felt great delight.

As for trying to make these two Yin Ghosts break through to the Core Formation Realm, he dared not dream of it.

Let alone Yin Ghosts, even he himself hadn’t found the path to breakthrough yet.

Hmm... Considering this matter, Ji Yuan roughly calculated that he still needed to stay with the Merfolk Race for three more years; during this time, he should be able to obtain a second Pill Essence Fruit.

The day of Core Formation drew closer.

As for the Yin Ghosts, the previous breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage took so much effort, having to acquire a coffin from Bai Piao to succeed.

To break through to Core Formation, Ji Yuan has yet to find a place with such dense Yin energy.

Relying solely on this Chaotic Burial Mound is far from sufficient; it’s already good enough to help the Yin Ghost Banner replenish Yin energy daily.

Looking at the two Yin Ghosts before him, Ji Yuan waved his hand, letting them return to the Yin Ghost Banner for good rest.

Then he turned his gaze to the panel, examining the spirit effect of the Level 4 Chaotic Burial Mound.

[Chaotic Burial Mound: Level 4 (Non-upgradable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Yin energy concentration +400%; increased probability of corpse transformation; Corpse Puppets can independently absorb Yin energy to enhance strength.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Nether Corpse Fire): Yin Corpse Demon Fire can be advanced to a stronger Nether Corpse Fire.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Bury 100 Golden Core Stage corpses, 10 Peak of Golden Core corpses, 1 Nascent Soul Stage corpse. (Not achieved)]

After looking at it, Ji Yuan felt one thing.

To bury 100 Golden Core Stage corpses and 10 Peak Golden Core corpses.

Is the Jiyuan Continent big enough for me to kill enough entities?

If it were the Cangluo Continent... after killing all the Core Formation Stage cultivators on the Cangluo Continent, it might be enough.

However, the Jiyuan Continent probably isn’t small enough; the land is vast, and there are many cultivators. Naturally, there are many high-tier cultivators too.

And maybe it could be related to the Desolate Ancient Continent?

After all, the land of the Desolate Ancient Continent is larger than the combined size of the Jiyuan Continent and Cangluo Continent.

Hmm... Better to consider it after arriving at the Jiyuan Continent.

For now, this Yin Corpse Demon Fire is sufficient for my use for a while, at least within the Core Formation Stage, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

As for continuing to upgrade this Chaotic Burial Mound later, could it be that 100 Nascent Souled and 100 Divinity Transformeds are needed?

My goodness.

By then, won’t I become the greatest demon in the Human Realm?

Simply thinking about it, Ji Yuan already felt a little scared... Perhaps he might have to continue using Qiu Qianhai’s name.

As the thought passed through his mind.

Ji Yuan then used the Thousand Souls Banner to clean up the Yin energy left by the two Yin Ghosts, and then used a defensive array left by Yun Qianzai to isolate the Chaotic Burial Mound.

This is unavoidable, otherwise, the Yin energy of this building would interfere with other buildings.

For example, the Beehive and Ant Nest.

Ji Yuan then called out a Foundation Establishment Stage female corpse puppet from the Chaotic Burial Mound to manage the daily low-income benefits within, then retreated.

He then moved to the front cave, and with a thought, returned to the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Back in his Lifebound Magical Treasure, Ji Yuan finally relaxed and summoned Tu Yue, asking her to massage his shoulders.

He himself contemplated the current situation.

”It’s rare to have three years of free time ahead; it’s the longest break I’ve had since setting out on the cultivation path, so it must be planned wisely.”

”Hmm... definitely need to visit the Immortal Sect first and check the situation; counting both the journey there and back, a year should be enough, perhaps not even needing that much.”

”With more than two years of cultivation time left, insights into cultivation have come to a halt, so the upcoming time is for waiting, waiting to gather enough Pill Essence Fruits to attempt a breakthrough to Core Formation.”

”Thus, this remaining two years should be spent familiarizing myself with various spells. Magical Combat, after all, when it comes to spells, I am not very proficient; every magical combat I’ve relied upon... is simply wealth.”

This is a conclusion Ji Yuan arrived at after reviewing each battle he fought.

From the initial magical combat during the Qi Cultivation Stage, it had been the same.

At that time, he relied on an endless supply of talismans, and later, after Foundation Establishment, various magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts.

Nowadays, it is various talisman treasures, magical treasures, arrays, and strange insects.

All these things can only be maintained if you have money.

For instance, the Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk produced by the Spirit Vein, and the Tri-colored Spirit Eggs for daily consumption. Without these items, no matter how many means Ji Yuan possesses, he cannot use them.

On the spell side, Ji Yuan’s use is sparse, which is barely considered a shortcoming.

So during these three years, comprehending a bit of magic, along with picking up the Pill Array Talisman forgotten for a long time and comprehending it again in detail, such is the righteous path.
