Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 891 - 354: Old Demon Ji’s Reluctance to Kill

Anyway, in the inheritance left by the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, it was all recorded.

”Yes, currently the two challenges we encountered are all illusion realms. As for what challenges lie ahead, I do not know.”

”Alright.”

Ji Yuan quickly said after a brief consideration: ”Miss Xing, give me a location. Let’s proceed separately.”

”I also need to find some methods, and additionally, I need to shake off Ma Gui’s tracking first.”

”Alright... If you need help, Brother Changgeng, don’t be polite, just say so.”

Xing Shuang was not one to drag things out, she immediately agreed, then arranged a meeting place with Ji Yuan.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to leave, he thought of something, couldn’t help but become curious, and asked: ”Thank you, Miss Xing. Why don’t you seek out other array cultivators, but instead are willing to find someone as weak as me?”

Xing Shuang paused for a moment upon hearing the question, then said: ”Brother Changgeng, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

”Both, if convenient.”

Ji Yuan was indeed curious.

”Alright,” Xing Shuang nodded: ”A lie would be that the Cave Mansion you’re living in now, the previous resident was a friend of mine, also an Array Master. It was together with her that I discovered this secret realm, and we agreed to explore it together. But now she has... has passed away.”

Xing Shuang’s eyelids fluttered a few times as she continued:

”Now that Brother Changgeng has moved into this Cave Mansion, coincidentally also an array cultivator, I feel this might be a predestined arrangement, so I earnestly invite you to join me.”

Ji Yuan neither agreed nor disagreed, then asked: ”And the truth?”

Xing Shuang took a deep breath, ”The truth is, the relationships among the array cultivators in Lindong City are complicated. If I invite others for such a secret realm, I might end up with nothing. But as for you... we are all loose cultivators and you just arrived in this Lindong City, so I feel quite at ease.”

Even among loose cultivators, if there are strong Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners, then array masters are not.

Strong Array Masters must come from major sects or large forces.

Like now, Ji Yuan wants to obtain some array secrets to comprehend and improve his Array Dao, but there’s no way.

So, even if there’s a powerful Array Master in Lindong City, they are basically from the Eight Holy Lands.

When a loose cultivator like Xing Shuang visits them, she might really be taken advantage of.

”Alright.”

Having received the answer, Ji Yuan did not delay further.

He immediately transformed into an escape light and returned to his Cave Mansion, beginning to pack various items and structures.

Even if he doesn’t go to the Secret Realm with Xing Shuang, he can’t stay in this Cave Mansion.

So sooner or later, he has to pack.

Ma Gui gave three days, and Ji Yuan took one day to pack up the Cave Mansion, then lifted his left foot in the hall.

He first burned the sole of his foot with the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, forming a green dot on the sole of his left foot, but soon, it bled out, turning into a cloud of green mist.

Ji Yuan formed a sword finger with his right hand, summoning a Canglan Sword from his dantian.

Purple electric light flickered around it.

Ji Yuan, expressionless, swung it, and the Canglan Sword descended, landing at the sole of his foot.

”Sizzle—”

A small Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck, causing Ji Yuan’s entire body to stiffen instantly.

His left foot’s sole immediately bore a bloody pit.

Not to mention any mark, you could almost see the bone.

”Damn, this Purple Sky Divine Thunder is truly the nemesis of all Yin entities.”

While cursing inwardly, Ji Yuan immediately directed his blood qi throughout his body, forcing it all into the sole of the left foot, doing his utmost to heal the injury.

Finally, he crushed a Qi Blood Pill, sprinkling it on top.

The wound on his left foot’s sole began to heal visibly.

He paid it no mind; this pain was far less than the suffering during his body refinement in the Thunder Shock Marsh.

After resolving this issue, he ripped off the Transformation Talisman from his body and replaced it with another.

As for his appearance... he transformed from an old man with graying hair into a robust man with two horns and a fierce aura.

He looked around, then transformed into a crimson escape light and left the place.

At the same time.

In Lindong City, at the northeast corner, within a Cave Mansion.

Ma Gui suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of amazement flashing through them... Run?

Could he really have escaped?

With this thought, Ma Gui also transformed into an escape light and flew straight toward Ji Yuan’s Cave Mansion.

...

”To let this Dream Butterfly quickly break the cocoon and transform into a butterfly without damage, we must maintain its foundation while providing it with more nourishment.”

”According to the books gifted after the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s death, we need century-old rare insect grass, thousand-year-old hundred immortal flower, duanchang water, and butterfly eggs, which must be from Tier Three butterfly-type demon beasts.”

”Luckily, now in the Jiyuan Continent, it was not easy to find so many materials at once in the Cangluo Continent.”

In Lindong City, still in the eastern part, inside a brand new Cave Mansion.

An entirely different Ji Yuan sat in front of a Pill Furnace, using the several herbs to begin refining a pill called ”Pojian Pill.”

The grade of the Elixir wasn’t high, at most Tier Two.

Because the Dream Butterfly that had just emerged from the cocoon was only a Tier Two rare insect. To let it break through to Tier Three, it would need careful nurturing.
