Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 892 - 354: Old Demon Ji Is Not Skilled in Killing

So, every time Ji Yuan thinks about the Tier Three Dream Butterfly that got buried along with the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, he feels a bit distressed.

After about half a month had passed, Ji Yuan looked at the four Pojian Pills in his hand, which emitted a strange medicinal fragrance, and then took out another Jade Box from the Spirit Beast Bag.

He reached out to open the Spirit Stone-made Jade Box, and inside was a thumb-sized cocoon lying quietly.

As Ji Yuan opened the Jade Box, the cocoon seemed to stir slightly, as if something was about to emerge.

”It’s indeed almost time.”

Ji Yuan raised his hand and placed the four Silk Cocoon Pills into the Jade Box, positioning them at the four corners of the cocoon, and then took out a dozen butterflies from the Storage Bag to place around the cocoon.

After everything was set in place, Ji Yuan covered the Jade Box and attached two Tier Two sealing talismans on the outside to prevent the medicinal effect from escaping later.

”Rise!”

Ji Yuan let the Jade Box float from his hand, and then a torrent of ice-blue mana surged from his hand.

The mana wrapped around the Jade Box, refining the Elixir and additional butterflies inside. The pure medicinal power, along with the life force of the butterflies, was trapped in the Jade Box, nourishing the Dream Butterfly’s cocoon day and night.

It shouldn’t be long before this Dream Butterfly will break its cocoon and emerge as a butterfly.

Seeing that there were no issues, Ji Yuan put the Jade Box back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Then he gathered all the items in the Cave Mansion, transformed into Escape Light, left the place, and exited Lindong City from the west gate, heading further north.

”...”

”Northwest Sand Prison, Sunset Market.”

This was the agreed meeting spot between Ji Yuan and Xing Shuang.

Once again disguising himself as the old man Changgeng, Ji Yuan slightly revealed a trace of his aura, and Xing Shuang’s somewhat excited voice echoed in his sea of consciousness.

”Brother Changgeng, over here.”

As the voice fell, Ji Yuan could sense the aura of his neighbor.

The Sunset Market was not very large and was at the very edge of the Northwest Sand Prison. Ji Yuan swept through the whole market with his Divine Sense, and the highest cultivation he found was merely Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

As for blond offenders like Mu Xueyao... he didn’t see a single one.

The cultivators he saw here were mostly adventurers seeking opportunities in the Northwest Sand Prison.

After all, besides the overwhelming sandstorms, the Northwest Sand Prison also had various Demon Beasts, and the neighboring sands grew a variety of Earth Treasures.

Or perhaps there were rare mineral veins.

If one’s luck was enough, finding just one of these could make them rich.

Xing Shuang’s small courtyard was already at the edge of the Sunset Market, and when Ji Yuan arrived, he saw her in the courtyard, along with two other Core Formation Cultivators.

One was a young Female Cultivator in a short black shirt, and the other was a middle-aged man holding a blood-colored long sword.

And then there was Ji Yuan, the old man in a green shirt.

After the greetings, Ji Yuan followed them inside to sit.

Xing Shuang took the opportunity to introduce the identities of the two.

The man’s name was Ling Juexiao, a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, who excelled in swordsmanship, wielding the ”Seven Kill Sword Technique” with extraordinary attacking power.

The woman’s name was Su Yuan, also a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, known as the ”Thousand-Hand Poison Immortal,” adept at using poison.

Ji Yuan nodded silently after hearing this, feeling inevitably thoughtful in his heart.

Hmm... indeed has quite a Demon Dao aura.

Regardless of their actions, their identities and methods already carried a hint of the Demon Dao.

In addition, there was Zhao Yao, a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator skilled in defense, who was currently stuck at the second stage of the Secret Realm.

”Daoist Xing waited so long; I thought it was someone impressive, but it seems this trip might be wasted again.”

After they were seated, Ling Juexiao didn’t hide his thoughts and spoke out.

Su Yuan added another sentence after he finished.

”Daoist Changgeng, don’t take it to heart. Brother Ling is just straightforward, he means no harm.”

”Brother Ling, if there’s discord even before entering the Secret Realm, then perhaps this trip should be called off.”

Xing Shuang frowned and said in a deep voice.

Ling Juexiao, holding the long sword, casually said, ”That’s not what I meant, just that Daoist Changgeng’s cultivation is indeed a bit low.”

”He was invited by me as an Array Master, as long as he can break arrays, that’s enough. If Brother Ling needs higher cultivation, I can invite Late-stage Core Formation cultivators, but then how much treasure will Brother Ling receive? You can figure that out yourself.”

Xing Shuang mocked.

Ji Yuan said nothing, just looking around.

And he immediately understood why this team hadn’t cleared even the second stage for so long.

The difficulties of the Illusion Array were certainly one reason, but the team... didn’t even have a leader.

Ling Juexiao and Su Yuan were clearly together, and Zhao Yao, who was still trapped in the Illusion Realm, seemed to be with Xing Shuang.

Now that Zhao Yao wasn’t awake, this was the current situation.

Ji Yuan knew it wasn’t appropriate for him to stay silent, so he stepped forward with a mocking smile.

”Since the first two stages are about breaking arrays, if I can’t break the second stage, then naturally, there’s no point in continuing. What’s there to argue about?”

”That’s true.”

Ling Juexiao nodded, ”In that case, when should we depart?”

Ji Yuan understood the implication in his words, which was simply that he, a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, had been waiting so long for an Early-stage Core Formation cultivator, making him a bit impatient.

Such cultivators who judge merely by realm are numerous.
