Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1028: Chapter 381: Golden Core Second Transformation—Blood Pill!

“Hm?”

After listening, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon also subconsciously showed some shock, or rather, disbelief.

“He’s dead?”

“Right now it should still be the first trial, in that Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest, right? With his strength, even if he got separated from Ma Gui and the others, it shouldn’t be so easy for him to die.”

The more the Bone Nightmare Old Demon spoke, the less he believed it himself.

“Even the wisp of Divine Soul he left with me has scattered. If that’s not death, then what is?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother spoke, even she herself somewhat dazed.

He had never thought that after taking in a disciple, leaving aside refining him to increase his own strength.

He hadn’t even had much chance to taste the bond between master and disciple, and yet he actually died…

Dead!

My Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s only disciple, and someone actually dared to kill him?!

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother took a step back; the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, directly standing up from the ground.

Her appearance, brimming with rage, immediately drew the attention of the other Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Seeing this, Master Xuan Huang of the Xuanqing Sect spoke with a mocking, yin-yang tone:

“Yo, did Daoist Huo Ling lose another husband or something, to be in such a rush?”

As soon as these words came out, the previously agitated Fire Spirit Ghost Mother instantly quieted down. She calmly turned her head, her gaze landing on that Master Xuan Huang.

And the Bone Nightmare Old Demon beside her spoke in an even colder, sinister voice:

“Master Xuan Huang, if you want to die, just say so directly. No need to go about it in such a troublesome way.”

Hearing this, Master Xuan Huang, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, let his body drift up.

Just when the gathered Nascent Soul Monsters present thought that a fight was about to start before the core area had even opened… they saw Master Xuan Huang, who had floated up, land directly behind True Monarch Xuanqing, then poke his head out and continue:

“Don’t think our Xuanqing Sect doesn’t have any Mid-stage Nascent Soul. What are you showing off for?”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon pulled the enraged Fire Spirit Ghost Mother back, then said with a calm expression:

“You’d best hope True Monarch Xuanqing can stay at your side the whole time, otherwise you can stay in this Rashamon Sea forever.”

The upright True Monarch Xuanqing, upon hearing this, suddenly opened his eyes.

“As for threats, Daoist Bone Nightmare, best say less.”

As he spoke, a streak of sword light flashed in True Monarch Xuanqing’s eyes. His gaze also fell upon the Bone Nightmare Old Demon opposite him, and he said slowly:

“Others might not be able to kill you, but I can.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon acted as if he hadn’t heard, merely continuing to speak to Master Xuan Huang:

“Once we’re inside, I will definitely kill you.”

With that, he closed his eyes heavily, clearly unwilling to speak further.

“…”

“Everything for the sect!”

Ji Yuan looked at the Black and White Divine Hall disciple in front of him, dead beneath the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, and spoke with a serious face.

Mid-stage Core Formation, and he too wore a copper robe.

After he died, he contributed a full 5 merit points to Ji Yuan.

Having succeeded in killing, Ji Yuan waved his hand, collecting both the corpse and the Storage Bag together.

In the end, he took out the Thousand Souls Banner again. As the banner fluttered, there was still not the slightest trace of a Yin Soul flying out.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly.

This was something he’d already discovered ever since the very first person he killed.

Killing in this Rashamon Sea, there are no Yin Souls!

The corpse and the Storage Bag were there, but the Yin Soul… was as if it had vanished into thin air.

Every time he killed someone, he would try using the Thousand Souls Banner, but each time, the result was the same.

…Perhaps this is the real purpose behind the Ghost Envoys pushing the two factions into mutual slaughter?

Ji Yuan never shied away from speculating about others with the greatest malice, so it was only natural such thoughts arose in his heart.

Once he confirmed that this person also had no Divine Soul remaining, he put away the Storage Bag, turned into Escape Light, and left this place, continuing to sweep toward the deeper parts of the Hundred Ghosts Dense Forest.

This already counted as the extremely deep region of the dense forest, so the cultivators and specters encountered nearby were both much more numerous.

Ji Yuan flew forward for half a stick of incense, and only after confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe did he take out his own Identity Jade.

[Silver Thirteen: One hundred and one]

“Huu—”

Ji Yuan let out a long breath. After killing for so long, he had finally managed to gather enough merit points.

Next, he had to think of a way to head to the trial site of the second stage. Though this first stage was nice, in the end the land was broad and the people scattered; obtaining merit points… was difficult.

Might as well go try the latter stages.

And see if he could explore other parts of this Rashamon Sea as well. After all, this vast Rashamon Sea did not only have this trial ground.

As for that Core Formation Cultivator’s Storage Bag, Ji Yuan had given it a cursory sweep; seeing nothing inside that resembled a “True Treasure,” he tossed it into the Mountain of Mind and Heart on his Spirit Platform, leaving it to Tu Yue to inventory.

He himself delved forward for another half a cup of tea’s time, constantly extending his Divine Sense to remain alert to his surroundings. Suddenly, he let out a soft “Hm?”

Because to his northeast, deeper within this Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest, he had discovered a team of Yin Ghost Sect disciples.

One Silver Robe Steward, plus four Copper Robe Disciples.

This in itself was nothing unusual, because on his way here, Ji Yuan had run into many such teams.

But when he encountered teams with this many people, Ji Yuan usually avoided them from afar to keep out of trouble.

Yet one person in this team… left Ji Yuan a bit surprised.

Because within this team, he saw the figure of the Yin Bone Master.

This so-called number one under Nascent Soul in the Bone Nightmare Sect, a Peak Core Formation Cultivator, was actually dressed in a disciple’s copper robe, mingling with a few mid-stage Core Formation cultivators… Ji Yuan felt this was truly a bit of a grievance for him.

But seen from this, this old codger really was a sly and treacherous type.
