Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 815 - 338: Qiu Haichuan Returns to Cangluo

Thinking of finally being able to reach Jiyuan Continent, of finally being able to see the light again, he felt a thrill that was hard to suppress in his heart.

On the fifth day of Ji Yuan’s retreat, Yu Yuan led some Merfolk back to the territory.

Then he announced this exciting news to a group of Merfolk.

The Ancestral Ground has returned.

Of course, he did not forget to attribute the missing Spirit Liquid all to the Sea Beasts.

Saying that he originally stored plenty of Spirit Liquid, but they all went into the stomachs of those Sea Beasts.

And the benefactor who reclaimed the Ancestral Ground was naturally Ji Yuan.

At once, countless Merfolk came to the entrance of Ji Yuan’s Cave Mansion, offering grand thanks.

Endlessly.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to appear, then he took out several bottles of first-level Elixir and distributed them in front of the Merfolk, which brought an end to it.

Otherwise, he always felt a burning sensation on his face.

A month passed like this, and Yu Yuan came to visit, saying the ores were ready but such a huge ore, the Merfolk Race could not move.

Ji Yuan personally went to retrieve them, and when he casually placed those several giant stones into the Storage Bag, it once again stunned the Merfolk as a divine event.

They had lived in Fallen Immortal Gully for years and had never seen a Storage Bag.

The matter was settled.

Ji Yuan no longer bothered with the Ancestral Ground matters, after all, the few opportunities had already fallen into his hands.

Two months passed like this.

Ji Yuan prepared to depart for the Immortal Sect.

After all, it would still take time to get there, about the journey... with the Holy Fish King, there shouldn’t be any problem, at most just bringing something along.

If he were to act, he could have done it last time.

So pondering again and again, Ji Yuan decided to first go to the Immortal Sect to wait, and when the gate opens, he would leave.

Thinking about leaving, Ji Yuan could not suppress his thoughts even more.

He immediately began to pack his things.

Two days later.

Looking at his Cave Mansion, which had been cleared out, thinking that he had labored here for more than two years, he felt a bit wistful after all.

One can only say, circumstances are like this, and fate toys with people.

Before leaving, who would have thought of falling into the Fallen Immortal Gully?

And who would have thought that within this Fallen Immortal Gully, there lived a group of Merfolk?

Ji Yuan shut the Cave Mansion, stepped back, and wearing the Spirit Devouring Armor, he came to Yu Yuan’s Cave Mansion for the last time.

When the red-faced leader of the Merfolk Race saw this great benefactor, he hurriedly got up, as before, wanting to place Ji Yuan in his place.

Ji Yuan did not move.

Yu Yuan understood immediately, his expression gradually becoming stiff.

”Is Brother Ji... leaving?”

”Hmm, there is no banquet in the world that does not end, I should return to my world.”

Just after Ji Yuan said this, he felt a bit dazed.

Because the last time he heard this was when Hua Yaoyue left.

So...

Is life composed of innumerable farewells?

”It’s still early for the Immortal Sect to open, perhaps Brother Ji could stay a bit longer?”

Yu Yuan tried to persuade him.

Of the Merfolk Race, the one most reluctant to let Ji Yuan leave was Yu Yuan.

After all, in the two years that Ji Yuan was here, it was truly the pinnacle of Yu Yuan’s power.

Especially after reclaiming the Ancestral Ground, even Bamin the Tiger became more honest in front of him.

At least not daring to speak loudly anymore.

He was deeply aware that all of this was brought by Ji Yuan, so as Ji Yuan was about to leave, he was the first to attempt to keep him.

”No, I’d better go wait at the Immortal Sect.”

After Ji Yuan finished this sentence, he pointed a finger forward, several streaks of light flew out, once again conjuring countless Elixirs and Magical Artifacts on the tabletop.

During these two years, Ji Yuan, out of boredom, combined unused ores and herbs from his Storage Bag and refined them.

Even though he could not use them, they were extremely suitable for leaving with the Merfolk Race.

”This...”

Yu Yuan looked at these items, deeply touched, and suddenly thought of something, hurriedly saying, ”It’s like this, Brother Ji, after you leave, I’d like to erect a divine image of you within the tribe, offering to you day and night, how about it?”

”What? How can this be done?”

Indeed, Ji Yuan was somewhat shocked upon hearing this proposal.

Erecting a statue for himself, they truly intended to worship him like a deity!

”Could it be, it might affect Brother Ji’s cultivation? If that’s the case, then let’s forget it.”

Yu Yuan promptly spoke.

”No, what I mean is... just remember to carve the statue better.”

Ji Yuan finally cracked a joke.

Yu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, ”Good, good, that’s certainly how it’ll be.”

”By the way, Brother Ji, after you leave this time, will you come back?”

As Yu Yuan spoke, he became dazed, ”But even if Brother Ji comes back again, I fear I won’t be able to see you.”

Indeed, this old Merfolk was already nearing the end of his lifespan.

It was only these past two years, with Ji Yuan bringing new vitality to him, giving him some Healing Elixir to help him sort out some hidden injuries, that prolonged his life for a few more years.

But it could only barely extend his life for a few years.

”Let’s see, it’s hard to say now.”

Ji Yuan did not give a definite answer, he clasped his fists and said, ”Well, having disturbed you for two years, I now bid farewell.”

Yu Yuan suddenly understood, ”Brother Ji, wait a moment, this old one will call the tribe to send Brother Ji off.”

”No need.”

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, with a slight stomp, accompanied by a soft ”boom”, he instantly vanished from Yu Yuan’s Cave Mansion.

When the old Merfolk swam out, where could he still see Ji Yuan’s figure?

Even the Merfolk outside had not noticed the slightest difference.
