Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 394: Chapter 203: A Centipede Dies but Never Falls

“This is quite like you.”

Master Dan Yang immediately asked, “Have you found a suitable candidate? Forget about those who are too weak. When people from Shangxi come over, weak ones will be of no use.”

“Yes, I found one. The Sect Leader of the Water Dragon Sect is not bad, I’ve already made arrangements. Once I take his position, the two of us can strike hard together.”

Han Feiyu laughed with a “hehehe.”

Master Dan Yang took the opportunity to mock, “You say I’m the lapdog, but aren’t you the same?”

“No, I will wait for the critical moment to seize possession. At that time, I aim to break through the Water Dragon Sect in one go. But you’re different, how long have you been a lapdog, decades, or even a century?”

Han Feiyu seized the opportunity to laugh loudly.

Master Dan Yang’s face was as gloomy as water.

“Okay, okay, don’t tease you, old devil of the Western Gate. Tell me, who leaked this matter and dared to ruin our Shang Court’s major plan?”

When Han Feiyu spoke this, his voice noticeably turned sinister.

“From the information I’ve gathered so far, it initially broke out from Corpse Transporting Mountain. However, I don’t know which good brother of ours took action to suppress it, and then it was leaked by your Water Dragon Sect people.”

“Who?”

“Two people, one is known as Isle Master Liu Yuan, and the other is called Isle Master Wuyou. You need to go back and investigate exactly who.”

Han Feiyu waved his hand, “Investigate?”

“What’s there to investigate? Just kill both of them together.”

“Exactly, this is the style of our Shang Court.”

“Alright, there’s nothing else to discuss. Once I take down the Water Dragon Sect, I’ll let you know.”

After Han Feiyu finished speaking, he jumped down from the desk, waved his hand with his back to Master Dan Yang, and finally disappeared at the door.

After he left, an excited gleam flashed in Master Dan Yang’s eyes as he muttered to himself, “That old devil Qu has actually slipped out, with him around, future matters will be much easier.”

“It seems this time, success is almost certain.”

“…”

Meanwhile, Han Feiyu returned home and listened to the introduction from his master in his Dantian, remaining stunned in place for a long while.

“What’s wrong, are you afraid of dying at this time?”

“No, master, who are you asking me to kill?”

“One is called Isle Master Liu Yuan, and the other is Isle Master Wuyou,” the voice sounded somewhat impatient.

Han Feiyu took a deep breath.

“It’s not that Liu Yuan is hard to kill… but it’s not impossible.”

“But as for Ji Yuan, he’s easy to kill, but… but he’s my friend.” Han Feiyu said with a bitter smile, “I can kill others, but master, can you not make me kill him?”

“I can increase the fee.”

The hoarse voice seemed to take a bit of interest since forcing someone against their will was his favorite thing.

“It’s not about the money, but about some things that are doable and some that really aren’t.”

“…”

“It’s a disciple’s duty to relieve the sect of worries and difficulties.”

Ji Yuan stood in the grand hall of Water Dragon Island, bowing slightly toward Master Xuan Shui and Master Duocai.

“Good!”

“If all the disciples of our Water Dragon Sect had such thoughts as you, my dear nephew, why should we worry the Water Dragon Sect won’t prosper?!”

Master Duocai clasped his hands together, laughing heartily.

“Indeed, it’s truly our Water Dragon Sect’s fortune to have you, my dear nephew.” Master Xuan Shui smiled as he stroked his beard.

Ji Yuan simply looked at these two elders putting a high hat on him and said nothing.

After all, praises are empty; only tangible benefits are real.

“Alright, no more idle talk. You should have learned the specific situation from Li Changhe.” Master Duocai said, patting his large belly:

“The Shang Court’s investigation on you isn’t extensive, but we cannot let our guard down, so the protection of the sect over you must be comprehensive.”

“Here, this is the reward decided by several elders after discussion for you.”

Master Xuan Shui said, and with a forward push of his right hand, a scale and a golden book page appeared in front of Ji Yuan.

Li Gang introduced:

“Both items can be refined and internalized, and when you suffer a mortal wound, this scale will activate on its own. Even if a late-stage Golden Core cultivator attacks you, this scale can protect you thoroughly.”

“Once the scale protects you, tear this book page open. As long as you’re in our Shang Dong, you can instantly return to the Water Dragon Sect.”

“What?”

Listening to this last sentence, Ji Yuan appeared somewhat incredulous.

The scale is acceptable, as he has a similar wine cup that can protect him thoroughly, but this golden book page… a Teleportation Order? Isn’t it a bit too exaggerated?

“Yes, this is left by our Water Dragon Sect’s founding ancestor, and this is the last one left, now passed on to you, dear nephew.”

“Even if a Golden Core Zhenren sets a trapping array to lock space, this book page will ensure your instant return to the sect.”

“Its value, I’m sure you can understand, so unless it’s a matter of life and death, never use it.”

Master Xuan Shui spoke with great seriousness.

Ji Yuan did not put them in his storage bag but refined and internalized them in front of the two Golden Core Zhenrens.

After refining, he cupped his hands in salute, “Disciple understands.”

“Yes, but it’s only effective in Shang Dong. If you go out to sea or to Shangxi, this book page will not work.” Master Xuan Shui, worried that Ji Yuan might not have heard him clearly, repeated.

“Understood.”

“Additionally, here are a few drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk and several Talisman Treasures, which you can keep for emergencies.”

Master Xuan Shui handed over a storage bag.

Ji Yuan accepted it with both hands, and after refining it slightly, quickly put the storage bag away, as if afraid Master Xuan Shui would regret it.

The two Golden Core Zhenrens laughed heartily upon seeing this.

Master Duocai Li Gang even said, “There’s no need for such caution. The foundation of our Shang Dong’s six immortal sects is deeper than you think.”

Ji Yuan had no other thought.

Just one.

It’s good to have a big tree to lean on.

This Water Dragon Sect was indeed the right choice.

If he were out there as a Loose Cultivator, who knows how long it would take to gather such treasures.

And with these items, Ji Yuan felt more confident about the upcoming righteous versus demonic war.

…

Meanwhile.

West of Medicine King Valley, in a deep pool named Black Water Pool, a young man slowly crawled out.

He was handsome, but his face was unusually pale, like a… Drowned Ghost.

After a while, he leaned against a large rock, muttering in his heart.

“What was the first thing to do after getting out?”

“Oh right, to help this guy take revenge, find that who… Han Feiyu.”

“Heh, I bet that old devil will be surprised to see me. Trapping me underwater for thousands of years, it’s time for me to get my revenge, kekekeke!”
