Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 414: Chapter 210: “I, Feng Yichen… Have Finally Returned!

Phoenix Peach explained very seriously and carefully.

After the two sat down, Ji Yuan brought out his pre-prepared excuse, “With the Demon Dao invasion imminent, I also want to get a Spiritual Energy Cannon for backup. In the future… if something happens and I’m forced to camp outside, having a Spiritual Energy Cannon at hand would more or less be a means of self-defense, right?”

“No wonder.”

Phoenix Peach shook her head.

“No wonder what?” Ji Yuan was curious.

“Master said among the few of us, you are the most afraid to die. Now it seems true, buying a Spiritual Energy Cannon as backup is something only you would do.”

Ji Yuan awkwardly smiled, “Master, she always likes to slander me.”

“Hmph, making up stories about Master, be careful or I’ll report you!”

Phoenix Peach gave Ji Yuan a sidelong glance, “Spiritual Energy Cannon, do you know how expensive this thing is? Even if I wanted to help you, I’m afraid you couldn’t afford it.”

“How expensive?”

Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

Phoenix Peach pretended to count on her fingers, “The lowest grade Spiritual Energy Cannon is Tier Two High Grade, equivalent to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact. Generally, the price of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact is between 500 to 1000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, so the price of a Spiritual Energy Cannon is about… 3000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”

“What?! That expensive!”

Even though Ji Yuan was somewhat prepared, he still hesitated upon hearing the price.

Mid-grade Spirit Stones, it’s indeed not cheap.

To buy just one, he would indeed have to bleed a little.

But not much, considering his current Spirit Stone reserves are enough to buy five, six, seven, or eight Spiritual Energy Cannons, plus he still has three sets of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients that have not yet been refined.

When the three sets of ingredients are refined, Ji Yuan estimates a high probability of refining 11 Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even if there are only 3 two-striped Foundation Establishment Pills among them and the rest are all one-stripe Foundation Establishment Pills, it would still be enough to buy this Spiritual Energy Cannon, with plenty to spare.

“What else?”

Phoenix Peach rolled her eyes, “Even this Tier Two High Grade Spiritual Energy Cannon is enough to injure a Tier Three Demon Beast. If you encounter a beast tide, a single shot can blast an ordinary Tier Two Demon Beast into pieces. This price is already considered cheap.”

“That’s true…” Ji Yuan nodded slightly.

Just when Phoenix Peach thought Ji Yuan had given up on this idea, she saw him suddenly lean in and ask in a low voice:

“So, does Senior Sister have any connections?”

“You… you…”

Phoenix Peach looked at the serious-faced Ji Yuan in front of her and ultimately refrained from saying “Are you crazy?”

A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, with Spirit Stones but not thinking of cultivating or buying Spiritual Artifacts, actually wants to buy a Spiritual Energy Cannon, this is not crazy what is?

Of course, Ji Yuan dared to talk to Phoenix Peach about this because of trust.

If it were someone else, Ji Yuan certainly wouldn’t dare to reveal this.

Fortunately, Phoenix Peach didn’t betray his trust, and after a brief silence, she earnestly plotted for Ji Yuan.

“If you’re buying it just for personal use, and only for self-defense, there’s no need to buy a brand new Spiritual Energy Cannon.”

“Is there a second-hand option?”

“Yes.”

Phoenix Peach nodded: “In big cities, after each major beast tide, they usually replace the worn-out Spiritual Energy Cannons. At that time, some used Spiritual Energy Cannons will be decommissioned. The sects generally don’t recycle them.”

“So where can I get these replaced Spiritual Energy Cannons?”

Ji Yuan quickly asked.

For him, buying these second-hand Spiritual Energy Cannons was indeed the most cost-effective option.

Firstly, they are cheaper, saving a lot of Spirit Stones.

Second-hand is certainly cheaper than new.

Secondly, Ji Yuan also just wants to see if they can be upgraded. If not… well, it doesn’t matter, he can buy them and keep them, or sell them again later.

If they can be upgraded, then that would be a big profit.

And generally, during the building upgrade process, any original damage would be repaired, restoring it to a flawless peak state, which is something Ji Yuan noticed when upgrading his Cave Mansion.

So, if an upgrade is possible, it doesn’t matter if it’s second-hand or brand new, it all becomes the same.

“To find this stuff,” Phoenix Peach squinted her eyes and said, “you’ll need to find your Second Senior Brother.”

“Find Second Senior Brother?”

Ji Yuan was a bit taken aback.

“Yes, currently, he is the ancestor of the Coastal Yun Family, and within their family, they should have a few decommissioned Spiritual Energy Cannons. Asking him should be no problem.”

Listening to Phoenix Peach’s introduction, Ji Yuan came to understand.

Yun Qianzai comes from the Coastal City Yun Family.

This Yun Family in Coastal City is considered a famous cultivation family, with nearly ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the ancestor is suspected to be a Fake Pill Realm cultivator.

Speaking of the Yun Family, Ji Yuan also recalled a funny story about Yun Qianzai.

In the Yun Family, the Peak of Foundation Establishment is the family ancestor, and Yun Qianzai, with high talent, after breaking through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment a few years ago, returned to the Coastal City Yun Family, caught his third uncle, and made his third uncle call him ancestor… It’s indeed something absurd that Yun Qianzai would do.

“Then let’s go find Master now and have her release Second Senior Brother.”

Ji Yuan didn’t forget that Yun Qianzai was still being held at the bottom of Wan You Island.

And for this matter, without Yun Qianzai stepping in… it’s basically impossible to handle.

“I’ll go, it’s inconvenient for you to go.”

Phoenix Peach stood up and said.

Ji Yuan: “??? ”

“I’ll go and sweet-talk Master into it, surely, you’re not going to try the same approach, are you?” Phoenix Peach, seeing Ji Yuan’s confused look, helplessly explained.
