Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1091: Chapter 393: [Spirit Field][Enlightenment Room]_5

”This is the only option left.”

Ji Yuan was resigned.

”Rest assured, before I kill the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, he won’t possess me... At least not on this journey to Rashamon Sea. And after all these years, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon certainly has many techniques, let them fight it out first and we’ll see.”

Qiu Qianhai was rather open-minded, and continued speaking via voice transmission.

”Alright.”

Qiu Qianhai drained the Heart’s Desire Wine in his hand in one gulp, then stored the three bottles of Heart’s Desire Wine on the table into his Storage Bag, stood up, and wiped his mouth.

”That’s about it, let’s head out. If we wait any longer, Xun Tianji and the others might just take all the good treasures.”

”Alright, you go ahead first, I want to meet Mu Xueyao.”

”Okay.”

Qiu Qianhai didn’t ask much, ”I’ll wait for you at the Yellow Wind Valley.”

He then took out his own Golden Ghost Order from the Storage Bag, infused it with mana, and two portals appeared in front of him. He pushed open the door to the core area, stepped in, and disappeared.

Ji Yuan also activated his Golden Ghost Order and then said to the Ghost Envoy, ”Senior, I’m in your debt.”

If Ji Yuan wanted to meet Mu Xueyao, he had to rely on the Ghost Envoy, otherwise, in the vast Outer Realm, he wouldn’t know where to find her.

The Ghost Envoy didn’t respond.

Ji Yuan pushed open the door leading to the Outer Realm. When his form reappeared, he found himself back in the Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest.

Mu Xueyao was sitting cross-legged on an ancient tree, her snow-white legs exposed from the slit of her dress, as if glowing.

But what truly caught one’s eye was her enormous snow-white bosom, completely disproportionate to her body, that inevitably drew one’s gaze.

Perceiving Ji Yuan’s presence, she immediately opened her eyes and leaped lightly in front of him.

A floral fragrance wafted over.

”Brother Ji!”

”Hmm, the matters of the Inner Realm are dealt with. Next, I plan to venture into the core area. How about you?”

”The core area... I’m not going. I’m only at the late-stage Core Formation. Even if I exert all my strength, I’m just barely at the peak of Core Formation upon entering, I’d be among the weakest there.”

Mu Xueyao pondered and expressed her thoughts.

”So are you leaving now? If so, you can wait for me in Lindong City first.”

”No, the Ghost Envoy senior said our tribe should stay in Rashamon Sea for now.”

Mu Xueyao’s words made Ji Yuan instinctively recall Qiu Qianhai’s affairs. The Ghost Envoy... could it be a good thing?

Leaving Mu Xueyao and her Yin Ghost Sect kin in Rashamon Sea, yet for the Array Spirit... it shouldn’t harm its master’s descendants, right?

Ji Yuan couldn’t say for sure, nor did he find it appropriate to persuade Mu Xueyao to leave.

”Well, at least it’s relatively safe here. You can try to advance to the peak of Core Formation first. You still have enough resources for cultivation, right?”

”I do.”

Mu Xueyao patted her bulging Storage Bag with a smile, ”Earlier, you and Brother Qiu gave me so many Storage Bags, it’s enough for me to cultivate to the peak of Core Formation.”

”That’s good. You should cultivate well here, while I head to the core area.”

Having given all the instructions, Ji Yuan was ready to leave.

”Alright, Brother Ji, be careful.”

Mu Xueyao reminded him.

”Hmm.”

Ji Yuan gave her a smile, and as he activated his Golden Ghost Order, when two portals appeared in front of him, he pushed open the one leading to the core area.

A drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk flew out from the Storage Bag, entering his mouth.

Spiritual Qi surged around him as the mana expended in activating the Golden Ghost Order was instantly replenished.

His figure then vanished from the Outer Realm.

Mu Xueyao watched his departing figure, lost in thought for a long time.

...

”Hoo—”

The sound of howling wind entered his ears, the scorching sun high above, as Ji Yuan’s eyes took in the sight of a vast expanse of yellow sand.

At that moment, if Qiu Qianhai hadn’t reminded him beforehand, he might have thought he’d already stepped out.

But now...

He released his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense, comparable to early-stage Nascent Soul, surged in all directions unchecked.

Without suppression, not a single bit remained constrained.

This ability to casually release his Divine Sense gave Ji Yuan a long-lost sense of elation.

But before he could savor this for long, he sensed something amiss.

From underground within the range of his Divine Sense, an aura was rapidly approaching him.

”This speed... definitely not a Core Formation Cultivator, it’s a Nascent Soul Monster!”

The thought flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind.

Just as he was about to activate ”Sprinting Thunder” to flee, the aura suddenly accelerated, reaching him in an instant, transforming into a young man clad in a dark cyan robe, eyes carrying a slight hint of wickedness.

Unfamiliar, never seen before.

But his aura undeniably showcased a Nascent Soul Cultivation.

Always keeping his composure, Ji Yuan subtly directed his Divine Sense to manipulate the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew within his Storage Bag while outwardly maintaining a respectful demeanor with a bow.

”This junior, Li Changshou, greets the senior.”

The young man in the cyan robe didn’t speak, merely propped his chin with a hand, circling Ji Yuan.

His intention of scrutiny was evident.

It gave Ji Yuan a shiver in his heart.

After circling around, the cyan-robed man returned to face Ji Yuan, nodded forcefully, ”Not bad, really not bad!”

”Sen...”

Ji Yuan was about to respond but suddenly heard the cyan-robed man’s voice change,

”Stop pretending to be this ’Longevity’—it’s me.”

The voice was raspy, yet very familiar.
