Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 872 - 351: [Heaven-defying Fate Alteration] [Void Teleportation]

The underlying implication in the conversation was that he too wanted to go to Lindong City, but he kept complaining about the transmission fee being so expensive.

It’s definitely not that he wanted Ji Yuan to pay this transmission fee for him, he just hoped to borrow some Spirit Stones from Ji Yuan.

A transmission fee of 5000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones at once is quite a burden for any Early-stage Core Formation Cultivator.

Ji Yuan was also very curious about how Liu Yuan managed to produce 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones at once when he left.

Returning to the present situation, Ji Yuan never engaged with Mr. Iron Talisman on the topic.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to part with the 5000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, but rather he didn’t want to bring a friend along.

Having a friend would mean he would have to be considerate.

Traveling alone meant he would be fearless and without concern.

No matter who he encountered, Ji Yuan would not be intimidated!

Well... accept the Nascent Soul old demon.

Forget it, Peak Core Formation Cultivators were also excluded. As for Late-stage Core Formation, Ji Yuan felt that he couldn’t compete at present, but with Zhudian, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.

Days passed by, and after Ji Yuan acquired another piece of Purple Sky Stone, the day for the teleportation array to be activated finally arrived.

Ji Yuan only had to bid farewell to Mu Xueyao for the second time.

After a reluctant farewell, Ji Yuan transformed into an Escape Light and embarked alone on the journey to Lindong City.

He maintained his form and traveled in a straight line to the Teleportation Port situated in the center of West Border City.

This place typically sees few visitors, and even those around are mostly Core Formation Cultivators.

Ji Yuan wanted to avoid unnecessary disputes, so he used the Transformation Talisman to change his identity and appearance, but did not conceal his aura.

An Early-stage Core Formation cultivation earns respect anywhere.

Just like when he arrived at this Teleportation Port.

Guided by a beautiful attendant, Ji Yuan handed over the previously given Teleportation Order and passed through layer after layer of obstructions until he finally reached the core of the Teleportation Port.

This was an extremely spacious hall, to be precise, this hall only had four walls as the top was open.

Additionally, there were these four walls, Ji Yuan looked around and noticed these walls were quite abnormal.

They did not resemble ordinary constructed walls but rather seemed to be crafted by an Artifact Refiner, akin to a Magical Treasure, with densely carved Array Patterns.

Ji Yuan glanced a few more times and found that most of them were similar to the Array Patterns he had currently.

But he couldn’t discern the method to activate them.

Was it due to his inadequate expertise in arrays, or perhaps only an Array Cultivator who specialized in teleportation arrays could comprehend it.

’It seems my idea of crafting a teleportation array myself is indeed a fantasy, but fortunately, I have my construction, which can still be upgraded.’

Ji Yuan grumbled to himself, then noticed a young man in a gray robe walking over, his complexion somewhat unusually pale, seemingly from excessive weakness.

Additionally, the large medicine gourd he carried on his back was quite conspicuous.

’At such a young age, yet having Core Formation cultivation, he probably hails from one of the Eight Holy Lands.’

Ji Yuan discreetly maneuvered the Canglan Sword within his Dantian.

”Could it be that the Daoist is also interested in the path of arrays?”

The pale-faced man approached and slightly cupped his hand in greeting.

Ji Yuan did not answer immediately but scrutinized him before speaking.

”Oh, I am Huang Hun of the Soul Refining Hall, may I ask the fellow Daoist’s name?”

Ji Yuan thought to himself, ’Indeed,’ then returned the greeting, ”Nameless Loose Cultivator, Chang Geng, greetings to Daoist Huang.”

Before Huang Hun could inquire further, Ji Yuan proactively explained, ”This is my first time taking this teleportation array, so I am merely curious, not well-versed in the path of arrays, apologies for disappointing the Daoist.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Hun’s eyes revealed an undisguised hint of disappointment.

”I see, my apologies for disturbing you.”

Though he said sorry for the disturbance, Huang Hun didn’t leave and instead stopped beside Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan took the opportunity to observe the other cultivators.

The number of people was not large, about twenty or so, most were Core Formation Cultivators, with the rest being Foundation Establishment cultivators along with Fake Pill Cultivators.

However, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came to take the teleportation array... judging by their attire, they appeared affluent or noble.

Several Core Formation Cultivators even brought guardians.

Or accompanied by elders from the family.

’The heritage is still quite deep, I wonder what kind of spectacle the Martial God Continent and the Demon God Continent described by Master are.’

Ji Yuan was pondering, but then heard Huang Hun beside him speak:

”The secret of this teleportation array is controlled by the Black and White Divine Hall, we outsiders cannot glean anything.”

”Moreover, it’s said that only those who start learning the Array Patterns of the teleportation array from a young age might comprehend the wonder of teleportation.”

Huang Hun sighed deeply, seeming extremely regretful.

”From what the Daoist says, are you an Array Cultivator?” Ji Yuan did not respond directly but asked instead.

”Hardly an Array Cultivator, just considerably interested, that’s all.”

Huang Hun smiled awkwardly, and generally such a statement implies modesty.

...Soul Refining Hall, Core Formation Cultivator, he seemed to have a decent temperament.

This inevitably reminded Ji Yuan of the Soul-Eroding Ghost Willow he required, well, regardless whether there’s any benefit, it’s worth a shot.

”Daoist Huang, are you traveling to Lindong City to return to your sect?”

”More or less, the sect has commanded me to return, otherwise I would have liked to stay in West Border City for a few more years.”
