Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 974: Chapter 370: Martial God Tower—[Transcendent Martial God]!

Ji Yuan looked up at the small line of words appearing above his head, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that to trigger the [Martial Arts Arena] required some complex operation, but unexpectedly, it really only required a competition.

But that’s fine, at least the building is generated now.

While Ji Yuan was momentarily distracted, Monday, the Frost Serpent he had struck down, got up.

Suddenly, Monday made a brutish charge, with icy blue light emitting from its head, and crashed straight into Ji Yuan’s chest.

Amidst the surge of icy light, Ji Yuan was unexpectedly knocked flying.

“Bang——”

Not only did Ji Yuan’s figure crash into the stone wall opposite, but he also fell out of the range of the [Martial Arts Arena].

Still standing on the high platform, the Frost Serpent raised its head and let out a roar, sounding like a dragon’s cry.

“Aang——”

After briefly venting its excitement, it eagerly looked at Ji Yuan, clearly conveying its meaning.

“I won, quickly, give me something tasty!!!”

“Damn you, no martial ethics, actually ambushing me!”

Ji Yuan flipped back onto the high platform, directly mobilized the blood and energy within his body, and grabbed the head of the Frost Serpent with both hands, applying a crocodile chokehold, pressing the Frost Serpent onto the ground.

Ji Yuan advanced, straddled it, raised his fist high, and after a few punches, the Frost Serpent became obedient immediately.

It could only lie on the ground, emitting a whining sound.

Seeing its obedient appearance, Ji Yuan, pleased, rewarded it with a drop of Thousand-year Cold Spirit Milk.

Originally half-dead Monday, when it saw this item, immediately perked up, afraid Ji Yuan would regret it, it quickly gobbled it up in an instant and even licked its lips as if not content.

“Look at you, just like that Big Toad!”

Ji Yuan blurted out.

But as soon as he spoke, he was a bit stunned himself.

Because, subconsciously, the image of that simple-minded Big Toad appeared in his mind.

Despite Ji Yuan now having many Spirit Beasts, the one he had the longest and deepest bond with was still the Big Toad.

Although there was no master-follower bond, when Ji Yuan was raising it, he was truly penniless, even his cultivation was at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Ji Yuan originally thought to bring it later to enjoy a good life after he became strong.

Just like now, could totally keep it in the [Fish Pond].

But unexpectedly, it didn’t want to leave that Mist Island, and in the end, went somewhere unknown.

… Wonder if there’ll be a day we meet again in the future.

Ji Yuan murmured in his heart.

Just finished eating the Thousand-year Cold Spirit Milk, Monday noticed Ji Yuan’s slight melancholy, recalled his owner’s previous words, and understood, rubbed its head against Ji Yuan’s arm, almost nudging him over.

“Alright, no need for your comfort.”

Ji Yuan got off Monday, raised his hand to activate the Mountain of Mind and Heart above his head, retracting the Frost Serpent, and incidentally, returning the Lifebound Magical Treasure to his Dantian as well.

When the surroundings quieted down, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged within this [Martial Arts Arena] and summoned the panel.

[Martial Arts Arena:lv1 (Non-upgradable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Body Refining efficiency within the Martial Arts Arena +20%.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Martial God Tower): Can enter the first level of the Martial God Tower.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Body Cultivator advances to Skin Tempering Stage; Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×100; Ink Gold ×100 pounds. (Unachieved)]

At the moment Ji Yuan saw the panel, he was suddenly startled inside.

The Level 1 [Martial Arts Arena] unexpectedly has two Spirit Effects?

Spirit Effect 1 is just the normal build boost effect, but this Spirit Effect 2… Martial God?

Can also enter some Martial God Tower.

Could it be that this [Martial Arts Arena] contains other buildings?

Instinctively glancing around but didn’t find anything different… Damn it, this Spirit Effect is only for the Level 1 [Martial Arts Arena], why am I standing here with a Level 0 [Martial Arts Arena]?

With this thought, Ji Yuan immediately stood up from the ground.

He now had only one thought, upgrade!

Must quickly upgrade this [Martial Arts Arena] to Level 1, to explore this Martial God Tower and see what kind of place it actually is.

Martial God Tower, Martial God…

Sounds extraordinary.

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think of a place that Hua Yaoyue mentioned before, a continent full of Body Cultivators, called Martial God Continent.

“Wonder if this Martial God Tower is connected to that Martial God Continent.”

Ji Yuan subconsciously thought so in his heart.

But soon, he shook off this unknown idea and instead looked at the upgrade conditions on the panel.

As for the Skin Tempering stage, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage for practitioners, Ji Yuan had long achieved it.

Now he was a noble Bone Forging Realm Body Cultivator.

No need to mention the 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, merely a day’s output from the [Spirit Vein].

Lastly, 100 pounds of Ink Gold.

Ink Gold, this thing is relatively common. Ji Yuan had seen it while he was in the Cangluo Continent.

Like the last time Ji Yuan was exploring in Lindong City, he saw some Martial Arts Arenas using this Ink Gold, given it’s a common material… Perhaps he doesn’t even need to go to Lindong City.

The Water Dragon Sect’s designated trading island is called All Things Island, while the Bone Nightmare Sect’s is called Floating Dream Ruins.

Located on the southernmost of Bone Nightmare Sect, Ji Yuan had to pass by every time returning to Lindong City.

This time, he spent half a day traveling from the northernmost of Bone Nightmare Sect to the southernmost.

As a Core Formation elder, plus being a disciple of a Nascent Soul patriarch, there wasn’t much hassle for him on this Floating Dream Ruins.
