Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1193: Chapter 415: Mei Manor’s Situation

Liu Yuan shook his head and spoke.

”Is it possible that he really encountered an urgent matter and then left?”

Yu Guang Zhenren tentatively asked.

”I understand him; he’s not the type to leave without saying goodbye. Even if it’s true, he would have found someone to pass the message, rather than disappearing like this.”

Liu Yuan still shook his head.

As soon as he said this, the people present fell into silence.

Because Liu Yuan is convinced that Ji Yuan is in danger, yet he cannot help, and the same goes for Zhenren Jinghong and the others.

After a brief silence, it was still Zhenren Jinghong who spoke:

”If that’s really the case, then we indeed can’t be of much help.”

”Brother Li has the ability to combat a Tier Four Demon Beast. Although his cultivation hasn’t yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he has probably reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to kill a Tier Four Demon Beast... a problem even he can’t solve would be redundant for us to attempt.”

”Then what is your husband’s suggestion?”

Kunyu Zhenren was also extremely worried.

In her view, her life was saved by ”Li Changshou,” but now that Li Changshou is in danger, she feels completely impotent, which makes her feel like a failure.

”Collect information and search for Brother Li’s whereabouts while striving to improve our cultivation.”

Zhenren Jinghong said in a deep voice: ”Take this matter for example. If we had cultivation at the peak of Core Formation, we wouldn’t need Brother Li to stand up for us, and he wouldn’t have encountered this peril.”

This reasoning was indeed sound, as it had always been the case.

So after Yu Guang Zhenren listened, he immediately turned to look at Liu Yuan nearby.

This matter is both Li Changshou’s issue and what Liu Yuan pointed out.

Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, the matter ultimately falls to Liu Yuan for decision-making.

Of course, if Liu Yuan insists on going to Swallow Sea Island to have a look, Yu Guang Zhenren would also accompany him.

”This is our only course of action.”

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, his figure transformed into a water-blue escape light, flying towards his own Cave Mansion.

Only a voice was left in place.

”I’m going to impact the peak of Core Formation; don’t call me unless it’s necessary. You can decide yourselves.”

”...”

”Damn, it really is the Dragon Palace.”

When Ji Yuan arrived at the Cave Mansion of Mei Manor in the Land of the Sea Ruins... it couldn’t really be called a Cave Mansion anymore.

If the Land of the Sea Ruins were likened to a sect, then this place would be where the sect’s Immortal Residence is located.

As for why Ji Yuan identified this place as the Dragon Palace,

It’s because this place corresponds to all his impressions of the Dragon Palace.

With crystals as beams, white jade as columns, and gold as tiles.

Even the old turtles wandering at the Dragon Palace entrance and various exquisite Spirit Fish were exactly as Ji Yuan had imagined.

Just as Ji Yuan was observing his surroundings, slightly dazed, he suddenly saw a group... Merfolk?! swimming out from the distant palace complex.

Human upper body, fish lower body.

This appearance was no different from the group of Merfolk Ji Yuan had seen at the bottom of the Fallen Immortal Gully.

The only difference is that the Merfolk in front of him are all female, each with an impeccable figure.

Especially with their graceful movements, Ji Yuan nearly thought he had returned to the Fallen Immortal Gully.

”What’s wrong, Ji Xiaoyou? If you fancy any of them, I can gift you a few... oh no, as a Body Cultivator, a few might not suffice,”

Mei Manor’s words carried a hint of jest.

”There’s no need.”

This small scene, of course, would not embarrass Ji Yuan any longer. He instead asked, ”Are these... Merfolk?”

”Yes.”

Mei Manor nodded: ”In the Land of the Sea Ruins, there is originally a group of Merfolk tasked with handling various matters of the Dragon Palace.”

After Mei Manor finished speaking, Ji Yuan saw an escape light flying from the depths of the Dragon Palace, landing in front of them, transforming into an exceptionally beautiful woman dressed in a light pink gown.

No need to describe her looks and figure any further.

Among the Female Cultivators Ji Yuan had seen, there were only a few who could compare to her.

But what truly caught Ji Yuan’s attention was the two adorable antlers on her head.

The antlers now appeared a bit pink, with two pink bows tied on top.

This is also a Great Demon in the Transformation Stage?

At the beginning of the year, Ji Yuan remembered something.

When he met Mei Manor in West Border City that time, it was to accompany a newly ascended Tier Four Great Demon—the Skytreading Flower Deer.

Ji Yuan remembered clearly that when the Skytreading Flower Deer appeared, it emerged stepping on petals filling the sky, extremely graceful.

So the Tier Four Great Demon that Mei Manor took away back then transformed into this woman before him?

”Greetings, sir.”

After the Transformation Female Demon appeared, she made a bow towards Mei Manor.

”Hmm, this is the friend I brought back this time, Ji Yuan. Make proper arrangements, make sure to inform the other clansfolk not to offend him, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Mei Manor waved his hand and instructed.

Then he looked at Ji Yuan again, smiling as he introduced: ”She is the Daoist friend I brought back from West Border City last time, named Lu Yingying.”

”Greetings, Senior Lu.”

Ji Yuan cupped his hands slightly to the woman before him.

”Ji... Daoist Ji, there’s no need to be so courteous. Since you are the Master’s friend, you can just call me Sister Lu.”

Lu Yingying said with a concealed smile.

However, when she addressed Ji Yuan, her gaze was somewhat unusual.

The name Ji Yuan is renowned in the Jiyuan Continent.

Lu Yingying never doubted whether the Ji Yuan before her could be the infamous Old Demon Ji from the rumors.

Being personally invited by Mei Manor and claimed to be a friend, he must be that renowned Old Demon Ji.

Precisely because of this, Lu Yingying found it somewhat peculiar upon hearing this name.
