Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 108: Chapter 96: Risking Life? Not Happening

After coming out of seclusion, Ji Yuan asked Wen Lin and the others about any recent major events at Cloud Rain Marsh. As expected, there were none.

If that’s the case, it’s time to prepare and take a look at the opportunity Qiu Qianhai mentioned.

Regardless of whether it can be obtained or not, at least check if the inheritance is still there… But this Tier Two Demon Beast basically corresponds to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin, pacing back and forth in the hall.

Tier Two Demon Beasts are fearsome, but as long as they’re not flying demon beasts, they’re not terrifying… Only Tier Three Demon Beasts have the ability to control the sky; they can all fly.

As long as it’s not a flying demon beast, it will be confined to the island, but I have a flying boat. So unless I deliberately approach, there’s basically no problem.

Not to mention, I am already at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, coupled with various means and the Yin Ghost Array at hand, even if I truly face a Tier Two Demon Beast, it’s not without a chance to fight.

Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators killed by Tier Two Demon Beasts mostly encounter them unprepared in passing, leading to instant death.

Those with some preparation who deliberately avoid them generally have no issues.

Therefore, some Peak of Qi Refining cultivators who are extremely skilled in magical combat and escaping have the ability to kill Tier Two Demon Beasts.

According to Qiu Qianhai’s letter, the Tier Two Demon Beast on the island is a toad… This creature surely can’t fly, right?

At most, it can jump really high, so as long as I don’t get too close, there’s basically no problem.

Thinking about this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but admire Qiu Qianhai’s grandfather. At the time, he was at most mid-stage Qi Cultivation… yet he dared to venture into the depths of Cloud Rain Marsh, and even dared to explore the island knowing there was a Tier Two Demon Beast searching for treasures.

Ji Yuan thinks that the title “Adventurer King” is well-deserved by him.

Suddenly, Ji Yuan felt he could understand Qiu Qianhai’s reckless nature; it must be inherited… Compared to his grandfather, he’s still fairly cautious.

With that thought, Ji Yuan gently clapped his hands together.

Whether or not I can obtain it, it’s best to get it to avoid any long-term worries; if I can’t get it, let’s see if it’s still there, and if not, I won’t have to keep thinking about it.

As for talismans, through the accumulation of the past year or more.

Ji Yuan’s high-quality talismans are no longer counted by single sheets, but by stacks, like a stack of Water Escape Talismans, two stacks of Golden Seal Talismans… A stack consists of 50 sheets.

Talismans are something Ji Yuan sells lots of due to the architectural effects, but he has saved even more.

Ji Yuan always believes Spirit Stones are important, but one’s life is even more important.

And talismans are a sharp weapon during magical combat!

Not only can they be used early to deplete the opponent, but at critical moments they can be used to restrain, like during the magical combat with the Demon Cultivator, Ji Yuan relied on a high-quality Demon Suppression Talisman to create an opportunity to escape.

Ji Yuan has long been a Tier One top-quality Talisman Master, so he definitely doesn’t lack talismans required for magical combat.

The magical artifacts remain the same, six pieces of high-quality magical artifacts.

In regular combat, there’s the Qingfu Flying Sword and Hundred Fish Shield, forced into close combat there’s the Water-Split Dragon Spear.

For escaping, there’s the Thunder Falcon Boat.

For surprise attacks, there’s the Spirit Water Needle.

The top-quality magical artifact given by Elder Xu, Mist Mirror, can be used as an auxiliary; its effect is similar to Ji Yuan’s magic “Stacked Mirror,” capable of projecting illusions to confuse the opponent.

The magical artifacts are complete, ensuring there are no issues for magical combat in the Qi Cultivation Stage.

As for elixirs, there is no shortage, whether top-quality Spirit Revitalizing Pills or Qi Blood Pills, Ji Yuan has stored quite a few.

There are still two Water Bombs left.

With these items, let alone exploring, even taking down that Tier Two Demon Beast shouldn’t be difficult.

With Tu Yue at home to help manage things, Ji Yuan has no worries about matters at home.

After gently instructing Tu Yue, Ji Yuan also spoke with Wen Lin next door, telling him he would be out for a few days, and if anyone came looking, to wait for him to return before addressing it.

The reason for giving this instruction is due to Du Wanyi recently coming to sit and have chats with Ji Yuan without much reason.

Ever since Yao Jingfeng left unannounced to join the Water Dragon Sect, Du Wanyi seemed afraid Ji Yuan might abandon her too.

Therefore, she came more frequently, even without much reason, using the pretext of discussing cultivation experience to see Ji Yuan.

Wen Lin naturally agreed repeatedly, and also reminded Ji Yuan to be careful.

Soon, the Thunder Falcon Boat ascended, carrying Ji Yuan straight to the depths of Cloud Rain Marsh.

According to the map drawn by Qiu Qianhai, the island is about half a day’s journey from the closest Huaiyin Square, and it takes more than a day to get there from Zengtou City.

This is assuming Qiu Qianhai estimated with Ji Yuan having a flying boat… The more Ji Yuan thought about it, the more he admired Qiu Qianhai’s grandfather’s vigor!

What kind of people are they!

The Adventurer King of Cloud Rain Marsh?

…

Qiu Qianhai estimated Ji Yuan had a flying boat, but he didn’t anticipate its speed.

A day later, Ji Yuan reached the vicinity of the location shown on the map, piloting his flying boat in the air, closely sticking to the clouds.

Any slight movement, and he would dash into the clouds to escape.

Compared to the shallow water area of Cloud Rain Marsh, looking down at this deep water area… All he saw was deep blue, so dark it was almost black.

The water here is unknowably deep, no wonder there are Tier Two Demon Beasts living here.

And further to the northwest about a dozen miles, you couldn’t see the lake waters anymore; the view was filled with white mist, the distant sky merged with the mist, with only some mountain tops poking through the fog.
