Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 877 - 352: Rapid Power Advancement

The initially light green Mountain of Mind and Heart deepened in color as it rotated.

It was as if more trees had grown on a mountain, making it appear greener.

But the immediate change it brought was... heavier!

Ji Yuan could clearly feel that after accommodating these three buildings, the Spirit Platform had become somewhat heavier.

This Lifebound Magical Treasure, originally floating in the air, now vaguely felt like it was about to fall.

For Ji Yuan, the treasure’s power had increased, but his own strength hadn’t increased correspondingly, making it feel laborious to operate.

This is why there was this sense of heaviness.

It’s like if Ji Yuan, who originally could only handle one Canglan Sword, suddenly received nine. This would overstrain both his Divine Sense and mana, causing such a result.

”But it shouldn’t be, my Divine Sense is almost at the peak of the Golden Core, and while my mana may not far exceed same-tier cultivators, it’s certainly stronger than the average early-stage Core Formation cultivator.”

”This feeling of effort must be due to my unfamiliarity.”

Ji Yuan thought and attempted to maneuver the Mountain of Mind and Heart around himself.

Sometimes to suppress, sometimes to strike.

In less than half an hour, the Lifebound Magical Treasure, which was just unfamiliar, now moved effortlessly like an extension of his own arm.

The feeling of everything being satisfactory returned.

So, it was just that accommodating three buildings at once strengthened the treasure too quickly without time to adapt.

However, looking at it now... Ji Yuan sensed the Spirit Platform.

It had become harder and larger.

Though in terms of satisfactory changes, one could say it had become smaller.

Then Ji Yuan stepped into the Mountain of Mind and Heart, and this Lifebound Magical Treasure transformed into a speck of dust, slowly floating to the ground.

In front of the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan looked at the small pond before him, where the water gurgled and the sound of the spring was pleasing.

With stones at the bottom, the pond’s water was clear and transparent.

Ji Yuan gently tapped his waist, and two streams of water-blue light fell into the Fish Pond, transforming into two small serpents as long as arms, joyfully frolicking in the pond.

Initially, Ji Yuan thought this Fish Pond was just this small piece of land, or rather, a space between mind and heart.

But when he truly immersed his body into this Fish Pond, he discovered its vastness was beyond his imagination.

Just like those two Frost Serpents, inside the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan saw them as only two small serpents as long as arms.

But when he actually went inside, he realized these weren’t arm-length serpents; they were clearly two sea-treading serpents, so large that any movement could stir massive sea waves.

”The effects of this building are quite good; it wouldn’t be a problem to raise as many water attribute spirit beasts as I want.”

After observing the Fish Pond, Ji Yuan went to the second layer of the Mountain of Mind and Heart, entering the Wine Cellar.

Just upon arriving, Ji Yuan felt what an expanse of endless space was like.

It was practically boundless.

Unfortunately, the Wine Cellar could only be used to store Spirit Wine, so Ji Yuan took all the Spirit Wine from his Storage Bag and placed it in the Wine Cellar.

Finally, he came to the first layer’s Pigsty.

Looking at this equally boundless space, Ji Yuan thought he could begin his grand plan of breeding.

Previously, he couldn’t raise any due to the lack of building accommodations.

But now... Tu Yue would have to work a bit harder; feeding pigs and chickens every day would probably fall on her shoulders.

But it’s not too bad, since she is already in the Foundation Establishment Stage, handling such tasks would just mean more trips back and forth.

”Next, let’s go to Lindong City and buy more Spirit Fish, Spirit Pigs, and Spirit Chickens, and have them all collected into the Mountain of Mind and Heart. It doesn’t matter if they advance, as the building can accommodate everything.”

With these three buildings carried around, plus a Spirit Vein at hand, Ji Yuan could finally relax a bit.

No matter where the Cave Mansion was placed, no amount of Array protection could compare to the sense of security of carrying them around.

”After finishing these tasks, I need to think about how to make money.”

”Relying solely on the Spirit Vein surely won’t be enough. It produces over 36,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones a year, which seems plenty, but is only enough to buy three pounds of Void Nether Stone and isn’t enough to accommodate even one building.”

”But how can I obtain so many Spirit Stones?”

After thinking it over, Ji Yuan could only return to his old trade.

The four paths of Pill, Array, Talisman, and Artifact cannot lack any.

And now, with his cultivation having advanced to the Golden Core Stage, the four skills of Pill, Array, Talisman, and Artifact indeed need to be quickly elevated to Tier Three.

Take the Level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon, for instance, to advance to the Level 3 Meteor Cannon, one crucial condition is to become a Tier Three Array Master and a Tier Three Artifact Refiner.

So from any perspective, these four skills are worthwhile to enhance.

The same goes for the Alchemy Dao.

After forming the Nascent Soul, the future will still require refining the Profound Infant Pill, and without sufficient skills in the Alchemy Dao, even owning a formula would be useless.

Next is demon hunting.

This also has to be a quick way to make money; although risky, it’s necessary for the now Core Formation Ji Yuan.

As he is experiencing a period of rapid strength improvement, he needs continuous honing to adapt to his new strength.

If strength increases but cannot be utilized, it would be a waste.

So demon hunting is the fastest way to adapt to strength, with life-and-death battles and demon hunting one can also obtain Demon Pills and various materials to sell for money.
