Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 147: Chapter 121: [Kitchen], [Wine Cellar], and [Array Room] (Double Feature)

Ji Yuan first thought about upgrading the [Array Room].

When he returned from the Water Dragon Sect this time, if not for the lack of Spirit Stones, he would have considered bringing back a set or two of arrays.

A set for hiding Mist Island with a Maze Array, and another as a regular Killing Array for enemy encounters.

As for the Yin Ghost Array he has, although it’s good, once deployed, it would mean taking the opponent’s life, otherwise, he might be mistaken for a Demon Cultivator on the Water Dragon Sect’s territory… Ji Yuan doesn’t dare to gamble.

As for the [Kitchen], it was because when he was still in Zengtou City.

He had already seen the building effect.

But the Spirit Effect of the [Kitchen] couldn’t enhance his strength, only satisfy his culinary desires.

At that time, Ji Yuan felt he wasn’t at a point to spend Flower Spirit Stones and energy to satisfy his culinary desires, so he postponed upgrading the [Kitchen].

Now, Ji Yuan feels he can attempt it a bit.

After all, cultivation is long and arduous; one should make oneself comfortable, or else what’s the point of cultivation?

As for other buildings, he would have to try them slowly.

With that thought, Ji Yuan took out paper and pen, wrote the words “Kitchen,” and stuck it inside his small wooden hut, but after waiting for a moment, nothing appeared above indicating the kitchen was built.

If that’s the case, then he could only build a new house beside it.

The previous kitchen, except for the meal last New Year, Ji Yuan rarely cooked; even if he did, it was just a barbecue.

Building a house doesn’t require him to do it himself.

Ji Yuan called back Tu Yue, who was digging in the mountains, to build the house, while he went into the stone cave.

His [Talisman Room], [Alchemy Room], [Enlightenment Room] were all there, and now he needed to add an [Array Room]. As he thought about it, Ji Yuan remembered the unknown Hammer Technique he had learned.

He had learned even blacksmithing.

He might as well arrange for an [Artifact Refining Room].

Whether he learns it or not, he could always arrange the building first.

Then Ji Yuan summoned the Qing Fu Flying Sword and continued breaking walls.

The high-grade Flying Sword cut through stone like cutting tofu, plus Ji Yuan’s physique had greatly improved; he could easily throw away the excavated stones.

He threw them into the Cloud Rain Marsh silently and without a trace.

After working for half a day, he dug out two new stone rooms.

Especially the [Artifact Refining Room], which he dug particularly deep.

Unlike the [Kitchen], which required specialized building, Ji Yuan estimated that after building the house, he would still need to stack a stove; otherwise, the panel might not recognize it.

But for the [Array Room], it wasn’t that troublesome.

After opening the stone room, Ji Yuan carved the words [Array Room] on the stone wall, and the panel automatically updated successfully.

[Array Room: lv0 (Current)]

There were more writings.

[Array Room: lv1 (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect: First-order Array comprehension ability +20%, Second-order Array comprehension ability +5%]

[Upgrade Conditions: Low-grade Spirit Stones ×10, “Introduction to Array Dao” ×1, Comprehend a First-order “Spirit Gathering Array” (Not Achieved)]

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel.

Whether it’s the Spirit Effect of this [Array Room] or the upgrade conditions, they were within his expectations and not exaggerated.

As for the upgrade conditions, he’s just missing the “Spirit Gathering Array.”

Next time he returns to the sect, he can purchase a “Spirit Gathering Array” and then comprehend it.

Array Dao may be difficult, but Ji Yuan has the [Enlightenment Room], so it’s not difficult for him.

The Yin Ghost Array can attest to this.

Then he followed the same procedure, carving the words [Artifact Refining Room] on the adjacent stone room wall.

The panel refreshed again.

[Artifact Refining Room: lv0 (Current)]

——

[Artifact Refining Room: lv1 (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect: Magical Artifact success rate +20%, Spiritual Artifact success rate +5%]

[Upgrade Conditions: Low-grade Spirit Stones ×10, “Introduction to Artifact Dao” ×1, Successfully forge a Low-grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword (Not Achieved)]

After Ji Yuan finished looking at the effect of the Artifact Refining Room.

He also looked at the other level 1 [Talisman Room] and level 1 [Alchemy Room].

He found that the level 1 effects of these four buildings were actually the same.

Given this, could these four buildings be combined?

If combined, could there be any special effects?

Currently, it’s definitely not possible; there are level 1 buildings and level 0 buildings, so they can’t be combined.

He can only try it when all building levels are the same.

Having dealt with these two buildings, Ji Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to go out.

Tu Yue building the house alone wasn’t finished that quickly.

Then he went to the Alchemy Room next door, refined several furnaces of high-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, and cultivated for a whole night.

Until the next morning.

Before Ji Yuan went out, he heard “croak croak croak” sounds from outside.

Oh.

The Big Toad has finally recovered.

Ji Yuan stepped out of the stone cave and indeed found the Big Toad squatting obediently at the door.

Seeing Ji Yuan coming out, it even moved closer to show intimacy.

Looking at its fully recovered self, Ji Yuan felt a trace of unusual aura from it.

A hint of a kingly aura.

Also known as… the aura of a hegemon.

“Is there no Demon Beast around here that can beat you?”

Ji Yuan guessed that the big snake it killed might have been the Big Toad’s last opponent.

Originally, there was also a mid-stage Second Rank shrimp demon, but it was also slaughtered by the Big Toad to feed Ji Yuan.
