Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 186: Chapter 135: The Opening of the Nine Nether Grotto Heaven! (2)

This senior sister, is actually a Fire Cultivator?

Cultivating Fire Technique in Water Dragon Sect?

Ji Yuan, surprised, felt the increasingly hot air around him and didn’t dare stay in the room any longer.

This senior sister, a Tier Two High Grade Alchemist, her cultivation is at least at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, or maybe even Late-stage Foundation Establishment?

Ji Yuan didn’t know. He quickly left the room, and that intense heat sensation finally diminished a bit.

He glanced back at the room, the firelight inside becoming more intense… Is she breaking through her cultivation, or has she comprehended some Magic?

Ji Yuan didn’t know. He just sat in the yard eating a peach, waiting for a whole hour before the firelight inside dimmed.

Then he waited for another nearly an hour before he saw the figure of Phoenix Peach coming out from the room.

Compared to before, she seemed even more spirited now, the joy between her eyebrows was undeniable.

“I never thought, I never thought, I could break through in this old place. It seems this room is truly destined for me.”

Ji Yuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled, “Congratulations, senior sister!”

“It’s just a small breakthrough, nothing worth congratulating.”

Phoenix Peach couldn’t suppress her smile, but she forcibly put on a nonchalant look, waving her hand casually.

Ji Yuan sensibly added another compliment.

“Senior sister’s comprehension is the highest I’ve ever seen. I didn’t expect to just point me in the right direction, and you would break through yourself.”

He said this very earnestly.

Phoenix Peach was even happier after hearing this.

“Alright, alright, hurry and make the Elixir, you may have nothing to do, but I do.”

Seeing his goal achieved, Ji Yuan returned to that hot room and took out the Alchemy Furnace.

With Phoenix Peach’s prior guidance, plus her careful instruction throughout this Elixir making… Ji Yuan succeeded.

Although out of the batch, only two pills were successfully made, but that’s still a success, isn’t it?

It’s not about quantity; one success is enough to level up the Alchemy Room.

With the pills completed, Ji Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

“Thank you, senior sister.”

Ji Yuan offered heartfelt thanks.

“Thank you for what? Your comprehension is quite good as well.”

The two chatted, and Ji Yuan prepared another batch of Elixir, this time closing the Enlightenment Room effect, and instead activating the Alchemy Room effect.

The Level 1 Alchemy Room, although only provides a 5% success rate boost for Tier Two Elixirs, that’s still a boost, isn’t it?

Thus, Ji Yuan naturally succeeded in making three this time.

Phoenix Peach felt assured seeing this.

The two left the doorway, and Phoenix Peach said she was leaving.

Ji Yuan picked a tree full of Summer Peaches as a gift.

Phoenix Peach rolled her eyes in annoyance, “You take peaches I planted, give them to me as a favor, and expect me to thank you?”

Ji Yuan blushed, about to offer some explanation.

“Alright, here’s my Communication Talisman. If you encounter something you can’t solve within the sect, you can find me, but remember, you only have one chance. I’ll only help you once. And don’t come to me with problems I can’t solve either, or else I’ll have to sacrifice kinship for justice!”

Phoenix Peach handed over a Communication Talisman, speaking righteously.

Ji Yuan quickly accepted it with both hands.

Whether or not he uses it is one thing.

But since Phoenix Peach gave it, he certainly had to accept it.

So, just from these Foundation Establishment Cultivator Communication Talismans… Li Changhe, Isle Master Qinghe, and now this Phoenix Peach, he had three.

This was his network during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Thank you, senior sister.”

“Alright, I’m leaving. If I want to come back next time, I’ll send you a message.”

Without waiting for Ji Yuan to respond, Phoenix Peach left with those Summer Peaches.

Ji Yuan looked up at the fiery streak of light, unable to hold back his joy. Who would have thought that choosing a room at random would bring such an opportunity?

To advance to later stages as an Alchemist is indeed thanks to the opportunity this room provided.

Now advancing to Tier Two Alchemist, it remains the same.

But no matter what, advancing is always good.

He summoned the panel and looked at the upgrade requirements for a Level 2 Alchemy Room.

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stone ×20, Fog Hidden Herb ×3 stalks, Black Water Serpent Grass ×5 stalks, successfully refine one Water Spirit Pill (not achieved)]

The hard condition of Water Spirit Pill was already met.

The rest should be covered by the Spirit Stones.

But Ji Yuan, even if he emptied his pockets, including all low-grade Spirit Stones, could only gather 17 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Not even enough to reach 20, not to mention buying Fog Hidden Herb and Black Water Serpent Grass.

Darn it, if only I’d saved a bit more earlier.

But Ji Yuan hadn’t expected to break through to Tier Two Alchemist so smoothly, in one go.

Initially, he thought it would take another month or two before he could return to Mist Island and save another batch of Spirit Stones.

Now it seems he could only gather them on the go.

How to gather?

Since he was too slow at making Elixirs, Ji Yuan planned to return to Mist Island and have the Big Toad take him to hunt some Tier Two Demon Beasts.

It was also a good way to practice with his new Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts.

The Demon Pill from the hunted beasts could be traded with Bai Piao, perfect!

Just as Ji Yuan was contemplating returning to Mist Island, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

He instinctively thought it was Phoenix Peach returning, but the voice from outside was different.

“Fourth brother, are you out of seclusion?!”

Du Wanyi was back.

Ji Yuan was delighted and hurried to open the door.
