Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 833 - 343: Level 4 Fish Pond; Level 2 Ant Nest

In that case, the possibility of survival is even greater.

Holding onto the last bit of possibility, Ji Yuan finally returned to West Border City after wandering outside for over half the year.

He was unfamiliar with West Border City, which was so vast.

Finding someone alone was impossible to know where to start.

Rather, let Liu Yuan find someone to help.

To be safe, Ji Yuan gave Liu Yuan 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones all at once.

Spirit Stones can be earned back, but if Second Sister is gone... Ji Yuan feels he would be guilty for life.

No matter what, Du Wanyi was called here by him, and thus, Ji Yuan feels he is responsible for her.

Just like now, she went missing, and Ji Yuan felt that it was his responsibility.

Liu Yuan left.

Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion and once again saw Mu Xueyao.

”Brother Ji, are you... are you okay?”

This was the first time Mu Xueyao saw Ji Yuan so downcast, and she was quite worried for a moment.

From her previous understanding, no matter what happened, ”Old Demon Ji” would always have that domineering look, overlooking the world.

How could he be so downcast?

”It’s no matter. I’ll come back and recuperate for a while, and there will be some matters I’ll need your help with later on.”

”Okay, Brother Ji, you should rest up properly first. I’m not going anywhere. Just message me if you need anything.”

Mu Xueyao’s worried look was not at all feigned; she truly was very worried.

This kind of concern also put some pressure on Ji Yuan.

No matter what, he’s not the one who saved her, the ”Old Demon Ji.”

But now wasn’t the time to think about these things.

After returning to the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan first used the Meditation Room to ease himself for a few days. After calming his mind, he was able to think about his current situation.

With Du Wanyi already having Liu Yuan’s help, his own anxiousness was useless.

As for his current situation, it’s about collecting various materials for building upgrades.

The first priority is Void Nether Stone and various Tier Three Demon Pills. These things were more the merrier for Ji Yuan.

The Transparent Fruit tree in the Enlightenment Room... Ji Yuan feels this is something that can’t be bought, and even if it could, it’s not something a small Fake Pill Cultivator like himself could come into contact with.

The Celestial Craft Square then requires Cold Ice Fire Lotus, Nine Suns Stone, and Devouring Gold Rat King’s Whiskers.

The Fish Pond’s Tier Three Ice Attribute Demon Pill.

The Chicken Cage’s Soul-Eroding Ghost Willow.

The Pigsty’s next upgrade would be Level 5, something he didn’t even dare consider.

The Cave Mansion still needs Void Nether Stone.

The Ant Nest’s upgrade to Level 2 requires Rock Splitting Golden Ant, which isn’t difficult and should be achieved soon.

The upgrade of Spiritual Energy Cannon to Meteor Cannon requires himself to advance to Tier Three Array Master and Tier Three Artifact Refiner, so there’s nothing to consider for now.

The Sword Pavilion continues blacksmithing.

After listing these upgrade materials, Ji Yuan had Mu Xueyao take him around several large trading places in West Border City.

As for purchasing these, it was Ji Yuan himself, possessing a Transformation Talisman, who went on this mission.

The first upgrade material he collected was naturally for the lowest-ranked building, the Ant Nest.

The dead body of the Rock Splitting Golden Ant was bought from a shop owned by a Loose Cultivator, while Ji Yuan purchased a Spirit Beast Pill for Tier One Demon Beast breakthrough from the Profound Snake Mansion store.

Swallowed an Elixir into its belly.

The Tier One Ant King transformed into a Tier Two Ant King.

Moreover, Ji Yuan had been in the Merfolk Race territory at the bottom of Fallen Immortal Gully for three years prior, and the ant colony numbers were already sufficient.

Thus, the Ant Nest became the first building Ji Yuan upgraded upon arriving at Jiyuan Continent!

On this day.

Within the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan looked at the dense army ants in the Ant Nest before him.

Unlike the Beehive, where entering would cause the eardrums to burst with noise, the Ant Nest was very quiet, with only the sound of army ants gnawing on food and sand.

The largest Ant King moved around the Ant Nest under Ji Yuan’s control, as if patrolling its domain.

After several turns, Ji Yuan made it stop in front of him.

Then he took out 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, along with two Mid-stage Second Rank Demon Pills, finally including the dead body of the Rock Splitting Golden Ant.

When this item was taken out, the Tier One army ants seemed frightened and scattered away.

Only the Tier Two Ant King seemed eager to try.

Ji Yuan didn’t give it a chance, directly choosing to upgrade with a thought.

Along with his thought, the upgrade materials began to turn to ashes on the ground.

Accompanied by the enlargement of the Ant Nest’s appearance, coupled with the dense flame aura surrounding it.

Additionally, two of the army ants that were originally at the peak of Tier One were blessed by critical hit during the building upgrade.

Thus, they naturally advanced to Tier Two Fiery Army Ant.

A mere Level 2 building upgrade, its upgrade phenomenon vanished quickly.

As Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense swept over the entire Ant Nest, he also summoned the dashboard.

What he was most curious about with the Level 2 Ant Nest was this ”Spirit Effect 2.”

Spirit Effect 2 (Thousands of ants in formation): When attacking, the ant colony can be controlled by the Ant King, forming an Ant Tribe Giant to attack, with strength far exceeding the same-ranked ant colony.
