Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 238: Chapter 151: “Overseas Loose Cultivator, Ji Yuan!

“Master, what nonsense are you saying!”

Phoenix Peach’s small face blushed, and she quickly turned her head and said angrily.

Ji Yuan immediately changed the topic, “And what about our second senior brother? What’s his title, there’s a chance I might have heard of it.”

Before Phoenix Peach could open her mouth, Ji Yuan heard a hearty laugh coming from afar.

“Tianshu traverses the stars, sealing the abyss and calming sea tides with a thought.”

“I, of course, am known as ’Isle Master Tianshu’.”

Following the voice, Ji Yuan saw a person standing by the cliff in the distance, his back to the pavilion, with his black and white magic robe fluttering in the mountain breeze.

This person… such a strong presence!

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think this to himself.

In just a moment, the person turned around. Without any visible movement, he took a few casual steps and arrived in front of them.

His figure advanced, leaving an array pattern in the air with every step.

Is he using an array to control the sky?

Such powerful means!

As Isle Master Tianshu came closer, Ji Yuan could clearly see his appearance, very handsome, even to the point of being considered quite charming.

With a gentle smile on his face, he approached the pavilion, first cupping his hands slightly toward Hua Yaoyue, who was lying down, “Disciple greets Master.”

Then he nodded to Hua Yaoyue, “Greetings, Third Junior Sister.”

Finally, his gaze fell on Ji Yuan, and his smile grew even wider.

“So you must be Little Junior Brother.”

Ji Yuan hurriedly stood up and saluted, “Greetings, Second Senior Brother.”

“Hmph, Second Senior Brother Yun Qianzai, always showing off every day.”

Phoenix Peach turned her face away, seemingly very angry.

Yun Qianzai didn’t get angry at this and continued chatting cheerfully with Ji Yuan as if he hadn’t heard, “Little Junior Brother, you seem to have great talent. Are you interested in array dao? I can teach you the way of arrays.”

Phoenix Peach, who had just turned her head, immediately turned back and said, “Little Junior Brother, like me, is into alchemy. I was the one who guided him to become a Tier Two Alchemist!”

“Oh? I see.”

The joy in Yun Qianzai’s eyes faded a little.

Ji Yuan looked around and quickly said, “Actually, I’m also very interested in arrays and have dabbled a bit. I will definitely consult with Second Senior Brother at that time, so please don’t hesitate to teach me, Senior Brother.”

“Little Junior Brother, really? Let me tell you, the way of arrays is profound and vast. For those who don’t understand arrays, we can’t even bother to argue with them; it would be beneath us Array Masters…”

Yun Qianzai placed one hand behind him and the other in front, fully displaying the demeanor of a master.

Just as he was about to speak in lofty (highly) terms (impressively), Hua Yaoyue, who was lying next to him, seemed to have had enough and interrupted, “If you want to chat, go chat on your Isle Tianshu. Don’t be noisy here.”

“Yes, Master.”

The previously high-spirited Yun Qianzai immediately lowered his head in agreement, so smoothly that Ji Yuan didn’t even have time to react.

Could it be that this Second Senior Brother was beaten by Master before… Ji Yuan mumbled inwardly, and soon Yun Qianzai’s voice rang in his mind, “Little Junior Brother, do come to Tianshu Island to visit when you have time. We shall exchange some insights on array dao.”

Ji Yuan estimated that his opportunity to upgrade his [Array Room] should be relying on this Second Senior Brother, so he agreed via voice transmission.

Hua Yaoyue looked at Ji Yuan and said, “I see that the cultivation technique you’re studying should be the Li Family’s ’Sword Manual.’ It is very powerful. Just continue cultivating it.”

“Next, I’ll teach you a ’Concealing Breath Spell,’ be sure to learn it well.”

As soon as she said this, Phoenix Peach immediately leaned over to introduce to Ji Yuan, “Little Junior Brother, you really need to learn this cultivation technique. It’s our sect’s inheritance, and this ’Concealing Breath Spell’ is not just any ’Concealing Breath Spell.’

Yun Qianzai chimed in with a smile, “Cultivating this technique can help you conceal your first-tier cultivation… the main point is that outsiders won’t be able to tell. At the Foundation Establishment stage, when you use this ’Concealing Breath Spell,’ even those at the Golden Core Realm can’t see through it. Like your Third Senior Sister here, she appears to be at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, but she’s actually at late-stage Foundation Establishment.”

“As for your Second Senior Brother here.”

Yun Qianzai clasped his hands behind his back and said leisurely, “I only look like I’m at late-stage Foundation Establishment, but I’m actually only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, just a step away from Core Formation.”

Ji Yuan: “???”

He suddenly turned to look at his master Hua Yaoyue, wondering what kind of cultivation technique this was.

How… awesome is this?!

The key is this concealment effect; using it at Foundation Establishment, even those at Golden Core can’t see through it.

If this were combined with my Transformation Talisman, wouldn’t it be perfect?

By the way, Isle Master Tie Chui once said that Master is at mid-stage Golden Core but can kill same-tier cultivators. Now it seems, Master might be, like the Great Elder and Third Elder, at late-stage Golden Core!

No, this cultivation technique was passed down by Master; maybe she has advanced even higher and hidden her cultivation even further?

Peak of Golden Core?

Or is it, as the legends say… a great Nascent Soul power?!

For a moment, Ji Yuan had only one feeling.

This sect… isn’t ordinary!

Choosing this Master was truly the right choice.

…

Meanwhile.

A certain island outside of Abyssal Island was engulfed in billowing black smoke, from which continuous screams of agony emerged, echoing endlessly.

Only after half a day did the black fog gradually dissipate.

A blood-soaked figure flew out, riding a flying boat, hovering in mid-air.

This figure had a bare upper body covered in blood marks, looking down menacingly at the surviving mortals on the island, he sneered, “Remember this.”

“The one who raided this Heaven Ruined Island, it’s me!”

“The Loose Cultivator from overseas, Ji Yuan!!!”

After saying this, the person laughed wildly while riding the flying boat away. Everywhere he passed, black smoke billowed, like a demon from another world.

In his mind, a voice only he could hear sounded.

“Good disciple, with this blood energy, when you return, it will be sufficient for your Foundation Establishment.”

Qiu Qianhai listened to this and couldn’t help but laugh “ke ke ke” gleefully.

As for using Ji Yuan’s name, Qiu Qianhai had been doing this for a while.

He had come to Abyssal Island by chance, but Ji Yuan, to save him, remained forever in Cloud Rain Marsh…

Qiu Qianhai remembered conversing with Ji Yuan back in the day, where Ji Yuan also greatly yearned for the vast world outside.

Now he had come, but Ji Yuan could not… So Qiu Qianhai felt it necessary to let Ji Yuan’s name resound across Abyssal Island.

As long as the name reached far and wide, wasn’t this also a way of ’having been here’?

When he returned to pay respects to him, and shared how he had made his name known, if there really was a spirit in heaven, perhaps he would be very happy.

“…”

After he left, on the Heaven Ruined Island, a young man looked up at his departing figure, murmuring, “That’s no Ji Yuan, it’s clearly that Demon Ji.”

The middle-aged man beside him quickly covered his mouth, fearful, “Who instructed you to speak out of turn? If that Demon Ji hears, we’ll all be finished!”
